I wrote up a blog post called “Young People in Politics“, discussing how social media is changing the way young people in engage in political discourse and citizenry.

That being said, as soon as I read Mattera’s comments on Think Progress last night, I sent him an email expressing my disappointment. You can read his response in my blog post (link above)

I hope the CIA/FBI are taking note of these right-wing extremists like Mattera, who promote & incite violence, then call it a joke. I’m sick of Repubs’ sadistic, hateful, violent comments against anyone who doesn’t parrot their talking points, and then hear them whining it was all in jest. Not funny.

What Mattera SHOULD have meant to say is that he is soarry he is such a racist cretin, is far too stupid to play any part in politics and is resigning immediatly to go finish grade school.

This is just awsome, I gave the 10th down to Krooklyn and two number tens to Watchdog.

DrXj, I went back up and bumped you up one. It’s kind of funny when they they’re bothering us by voting down. Like you said, it just shows your getting under their skin.

But, but , but Mattera is a Christian, He’s forgiven as soon as ugly words come out of his mouth. He doesn’t have to live his principles, just convince others that he does./snark

101st Fighting Keyboardists

Mattera is a “brave” member of the 101st Fighting Keyboardist….doing his “fighting” from the safety of his laptop rather than going to Iraq & Afghanistan like so many others his age have done. He’s a chickenhawk who wants to send others to their possible deaths but he’s too much of a coward to enlist himself.

MATTHEWS: You’re 21 years old, you’re eligible to serve. Would you like to serve in this war?

MATTERA: I’m fightin’ the battle for ideas. I’m fighting for–

MATTHEWS: No, I’m just asking a particular question. Would you like to enlist in this war?

MATTERA: No, cause I’m fighting a separate battle. I’m fighting, we’re fighting the culture war here, but I’m also supporting the battle that’s raging in Iraq.

MATTHEWS: Well what kind of people should fight in this war, if not you?

MATTERA: Those who want to. Those who want, who feel the desire of the passion to go over to Iraq. I have many friends who are in Iraq myself, people from my church, people who I graduated with–

MATTHEWS: Mmm. . . .

MATTERA: –um they want to go fight over there. I’m here. I’m fighting the culture war right now. Both needs to be fought and both need to be won by conservatives.

MATTHEWS: Paul Hackett, a Democratic candidate for Congress who just lost that close election in Ohio, referred to the President as a chickenhawk, someone who supports war but doesn’t fight it. What do you think of that phrase “chickenhawk?”

MATTERA: I don’t like the phrase “chickenhawk.”

MATTHEWS: Why not?

MATTERA: Huh. (smirks) Because it doesn’t fit and I don’t think–

MATTHEWS: It means you talk tough, but you act chicken.

MATTERA: Yeah! I understand that, but I don’t think that President Bush is a chickenhawk.

Yes, he is Mattera…..and so are you.

Have you ever talk with teachers in the Mississippi delta?

Maybe you should have a talk with a teacher, and learn how to talk.

Mattera, who grew up in Brooklyn, claimed that his posting was part of a joking “inner-city rivalry” with the Bronx-born Sotomayor.

I didn’t know they had trailer parks in Brooklyn.

Uh oh.
It appears I’ve gotten under someone’s nerves. My vote tally for every post here has been reduced by 1.
I, of course, consider that a victory!

The BX is full of welfare cheese and food stamp eaters. their apartments are dirty and full of Rats. Crooklyn on the other hand is cleaner and less rats. That is why Bronx women sweat us Crooklyn Cats. Plus we have bigges Gats!

I have friends that took teaching jobs in the Mississippi Delta trying to help the poor black kids. They were very liberal before they went but, it was a totally different story after they got back. It was verbatim to the story you just told.

Interesting coincidence.

Wow! This one thinks Sarah Palin is genius. I guess all things are relative.
