Last episode’s Degenerate Press Likeability Scale generated a ton of responses.
First off, thanks for the compliments and complaints. Your opinions are always
welcome! Normally I’d run them all but I got one that made the others seem less
important. I mentioned a few of the details from it to SW a few days ago and she
said, “Don’t run that. Just ignore it.”
It was tempting. But instead, I’m going to feature it and it alone. I’ll tell
you why afterward. So open your mind, and clench tight all orifices, for the
return of degenerate KH:
You guys are nuts. First of all I have heard so much audio on Kerry. For example
during the Clinton years Kerry gave a speech on the evils of Saddam. He said
Saddam should be taken out. -50 for Kerry. In another speech after 9/11 Kerry
said that he never agreed with Clinton on his policies and pushed for Saddam to
be taken out because saddam had weapons of mass destruction. I have heard three
speechs to this effect. "If I knew know what I knew then I would still take out
Saddam", a direct Kerry quote after the Iraq war started. Now he is saying Bush
should not have gone after Saddam(Flip Flop #1000) He voted to go to war in Iraq
but voted against the money for troop support(sic)(Flip Flop #10002). His Senate
voting record is appaling. In one speech that I heard by Kerry he talks about
how he would beef up the Intelligence community and make it stronger and better
then bush ever would. Kerry voted against every intelligent spending proposal
there was. Not only that, but he proposed the Kerry ammendement to basically cut
off the arms of our Intelligence community.(Flip Flop#1003). that is worth
-150 points for kerry for all the floping and flipping.
Next ,there was proven ties to Al Quaeda and Iraq. Maybe not directly tied to
9/11 but there were ties all over the place. Saddam was giving safe refuge to Al
Quaeda and even meeting with High ranking Al Quaeda. +50 back for Bush. No
weapons of mass Destruction found. So where are they??? The weapons inspector
say they were there and that is why they were there to try and get Saddam to
destroy them or destroy them ourselves. Well what happened then, Saddam Kicked
them out of the country and would not allow them to come back in. Three or so
years go buy we finally get a Resoultion to go back in and guess what the wepons
are gone.. Here is the scary part....Where in the Hell did they go??? Hell yeah
Bush is scared that there are alot of chemical/biological weapons missing and
they are still missing and no one seems to know where they are at.. So in these
three years what happed to them. If Iraq is harboring Al Quade during this time
that is one scary thought. +50 back for bush.
Next Saddam was the weapon of Mass destruction. 500,000 Iraq women,men and
children dead at his hands. Rape, torture, political oppression, no freedoms,
mass graves, gassing whole towns of people(have you seen the pictures). If this
was happining in your town would you just say" oh, I hope no one helps us get
away from this life in Hell!!" This is what makes me sick about peple like you.
If for no other reason that is the reason for invading Iraq. WMD's and terriost
take a back seat to the purley hatefull evil things that Saddam was doing to his
people. You have the freedom to write your silly banterings every week. These
people did'nt. you have the right to go see rock shows and thumb your nose at
the gov. anytime you wanted, these people did'nt. Where is your Heart. The
Democrats were to pussy and to worried about there land rover driving existince
to get down and dirty and yes spend lives to help give millions of people the
basic rights that we use every day. Bush was'nt scared and for this reson above
all else i applaude him for trying to give freedom to millions of people. How
many people has Michal Moore helped besides himself(have you seen the mansion he
lives in, (fucking hypocrite)
Did you know that in Afganistan 9 million people are now registered to vote as
opposed to 0 before, that is a fucking miracle. How many people has Kerry help
given the basic right of voting to, well, the answer is 0, so 9,000,000 points
for Bush. You said that Bush was always on Vaction. Before 9/11 Kerry was on the
select intelligence committe for this country. He missed 85% of all the
meetings. He did not even bother showing up. This stastic is posted all over the
web look it up! You keep saying in your letter no ties to Al Quade, are you that
ignorant, there were ties, every news agency has reported that there were ties.
You may not feel safer, But i sure as hell do!! Are you forgetting that they
attacked us on our on soil(belive it or not but Clinton had alot to do with
this) They would have kept attacking us on our own soil if we had not taken the
fight to thier soil. That is basic military strategy + 50 for Bush.
Now for my last tirade. Bush is a great leader because he says what he means and
means what he says. Kerry can't even hold a candle to him there(flip flop)! He
has taken the fight to the terriost on thier own soil. He has freed millions of
people and given them the chance to control thier own lives. People in Iraq can
now get passports a right you have anyday, moron. Bush is trying to establish a
dmocracy in the Middle East or else this reign of terror over ther will never
end. A dem. has'nt even tried to accomplish this grand feat. So we did'nt use
France and Germany, so what, they were so far up Saddam's evil ass and thier own
assess that they could'nt help because they want us to fail in order for them to
fell more superior. Oh and by the way lets say it was for oil okay. Well in that
case France and Germany were taking oil from Iraq and making deals with a mass
murderer at least we take the oil but we went one step further and removed thier
hatefull dictator at the cost of our lives for the Iraq people. What scraficies
did France and Germany make to the cause of Human Rights a big 0. So they have
no leg to stand on in my opinoin. Kerry has proven that he doesn't keep his
word, he didn't show up for intellgence committes, he tried to cut all defense
spending, in 22 years of being on the senate he hasn't passed one usefull piece
of legislation oh except for the Kerry amendenment that would cut intelligence
spending in half. Kerry is a moron a rich french bastard he does'nt care about
anyone as far as I can see. Why doesn't he have a more diverse campaign team?
Chek out Bush's cabinet, vey diverse! I may not agree with Bush's domestic
policies but at least he is looking into a more fair tax policies. Kerry has
stated, I heard this directly he won't even look at the new nationial sales tax
plan which would abolish the IRS(YEAH!) If it were up to Kerry we would be a
socilist state and talking about losing freedoms. Halliburton, not only provides
thouseands of jobs but they are willing to go over to a place and work under the
threat of death and kidnappings. It is like saying toyota is an evil empire
because the terrorist have been seen driving toyota trucks during thier attack.
Halliburton who care about them, they are a business just like anyother business
in the world, and how many jobs do they provide? ummm...I do not see you over in
Iraq trying to help, sissy boy. Oh and you talk about the lives we spent on this
war, think how many thousand more would have been spent if Kerry had gotten his
way and cut every defense contract he voted against. We would have hd to commit
even more human bodies then we had to thank to smart bombs, planes etc.
So, before you run out and vote remember this, you may not like Bush but at
least you can count on him to keep his word, stand up for what he believs in,
fight a shadow war on a bunch of islamic murderers on thier own turf. Bush won't
let the little stinky countries of France and Germany(whom we bailed out at the
cost of tens of thousand of lives) try to tell us how to behave when they are
dealing with a mass murderer even after the U.N. had passed specific sanctions
against doing this very same thing. He has provided Tax cuts. Kerry will raise
taxes, that is well reported. But most important vote for Bush because he stood
up to the rest of the groveling world and said enough is enough. We are a free
people we will continue to live as a free people and if you want to give up your
rights and have the gov. tell you how to live then vote for the socilist party
oh sorry the Democratic party and thier two faced Captian. thank a bunch, Kent
Honea 404-597-3765 feel free to call me I will be gald to discuss this with you.
p.s. If I were an Iraq citizen living in pre-war Iraq then I would have not been
able to write a letter like this without fear of losing my life. So thanks Bush
for atleast attempting to give them this right. And, Fuck you
Kerry,Democrats,France and Germany for not doing a damn thing but lining your
own pockets while the Iraq people suffered everyday. and Fuck you to all the
selfish people out there who would vote for someone who drives a Suv when thier
at a Detroit auto convention and "I do not own any Suv's" when your at a
enviromental convention.(Sic,Sic,Sic) and this is the guy you want for
president. Bush may not be the ultimate choice but what other choice is there
really!!!!
Editor’s note: A day or two later I got this follow-up:
Here is the short version of what i wrote earlier, a paraphrase if you will.
If you were not sickened by the actions of John Kerry today then you are less
then
human and a clone of the Left wing politics that are killing us today. You will
only change when you have been attacked personally and if it were up to you then
that time would be sooner than later. idiot.
To come out and BLAST Allawi after the most courage full speech that I have seen
given in my lifetime, to me is affront of all that I hold purposefully. The man
is not only thanking the U.S. but us personally, not to mention the men and
women that have died for a cause that would enable this man to regain simple
freedom. He is trying to rally his people back home to a greater cause'. A hard
fought cause. A cause that lead this man to speaking in front of the greatest
power of the free world. And all he wanted to say was ..THANK YOU!....and John
Kerry tried to belittle such a great and courageous heartfelt
thank. And you want this man for president? What about treating foreign
dignitaries with respect John? Especially when they are thanking you for
spending 1,000's of American Lives, trillions of dollars and a lifetime of pain
for for their freedom, and you say NO THANKS!
WELL FUCK YOU MR. JOHN KERRY!!! REMEMBER TO VOTE!!
Editor’s response:
I could take every single sentence from those emails and point out the logic
flaws, exaggerations, and countless blatant lies. Aside from the personal
insults, the tone of the whole thing insulted my intelligence. It disturbed me
for two days after reading it the first time and I came up with dozens of
arguments against almost everything KH wrote.
But I don’t believe there’s any use in debating KH. Some people have such faith
in the powers in which they believe that they will echo anything their chosen
authority figures say. Some people will not question, will not listen to reason
or evidence of any kind.
As I’ve said before, “You can’t argue with a crazy person.”
So why run it?
I wanted to illustrate to subscribers what intelligent people are up against in
this country. Degenerate KH will get out and vote. But if YOU don’t, if you sit
passively by because you don’t think your vote matters, if you think one
politician is as bad as the other, then people like KH will have their chosen
leaders elected. And what happens to a country who’s populace follows their
leader without question? What is it like in countries whose population chants
along with the slogans issued by the powers in charge? Can you think of an
example of a country whose populace is united in fear and hatred? If not, I’ll
send you some history books free of charge.
The deadline to register to vote in Georgia is October 4 for the next election.
You’ve got one more week if you haven’t been participating in the very system
that controls your life. You can get your voter registration form here:

As for those who are open-minded, intelligent people who still thing the
Republicans are worth electing to the highest office, regardless of who they’ve
put up front as their figurehead, Garrison Keillor is far more eloquent than I:

FILM FLAM
Russ Meyer was the king, my friend. Yes, he did essentially invent the
"skin-flick" (actually what he invented was the "nudie-cutie," but that's
splitting, um, hairs), but those CNN headlines citing FASTER PUSSYCAT! KILL!
KILL! as an example thereof are totally mistaken. FASTER PUSSYCAT is neither
a skin flick nor a nudie-cutie. It's a great low-budget action film about
some tough girls, and there's no so much as a bare boobie to be seen in all
of its 83 minutes. If you want a Meyer film with skin, rent VIXEN. Meyer
himself declared it was the only actual "skin flick" he ever directed.
Russ Meyer was second only to Johnny Ramone among my living personal heroes,
and for years I've had inscribed autographed photos of both of them
displayed side by side right here at desk, so you IMAGINE the kinda gloomy
month I've been having. His CHERRY, HARRY & RAQUEL is second only to Sam
Peckinpah's THE WILD BUNCH as the best-edited American film of all time.
Degenerate GN
EAR PLUGS
From last episode:
We got this from degenerate KG:
"Have you heard about this new club opening in Underground? It's called Alley
Cat Alley. I hear that it's supposed to be like the Playboy clubs of yesteryear,
with girls dressed up in itty-bitty cat outfits bringing you drinks."
I ain't heard a thing. Anyone got the scoop?
Degenerate GG has random info that may relate:I have no idea what's going on at
Underground, but if the description above is accurate, it sounds like a
throwback to the
long-gone KITTENS CORNER located at 842 Peachtree Street. Here is a swell photo
from 1965 that you may wish to
share with your readers.
http://www.library.gsu.edu/spcoll/spcollimages/av/oneal/jpeg/N32-065_a.jpg
For additional reference, here is a shot of 846 Peachtree Street, which formerly
housed the Peachtree Manor Hotel.
http://atlantatimemachine.com/downtown/pch846.htm
I am not positive, but given the closeness of the two addresses, the club may
have actually been inside the Peachtree Manor Hotel, a location from which night
spots operated for many years.
And we got this from a degenerate who works in L5P regarding the Halloween
schedule:
The L5P parade, actually the stores have very little input in when it is held,
it is the business association decision. Our store was just as surprised as
everyone else it is a week early. But, we figured that there is probably so much
going on, on the weekend of the 30/31 that they decided it might be easier and a
good build up. The most stores don't make that much money though, it is more the
influx of people we like who often come back later. The lack of money is due to
the high traffic: no-one can get any where, everyone stands around watching the
parade, not shopping, the bars and some stores do great though (Junkman's and
Lucky Devil), the rest of us enjoy ourselves and the spectacle, it is what L5P
used to be about.
