Touchy Touchy
The hard right loves to dish it out but they can't take it. Take Jerome Corsi. For those not familiar with Corsi, he's the wing-nut who hit the national scene in 2004 as the co-author of the libelous and nutty Unfit for Command, the Regnery book that denigrated John Kerry's war record. True to form, Corsi attempted to derail Barack Obama's presidential candidacy by promulgating the birther conspiracy theory. As I have pointed out, the media landscape has changed drastically over the past few years. Wing-nut conspiracies, especially the birther conspiracy, are receiving the ridicule they deserve.

Anyhow, last week, I sent Corsi an e-mail noting the laughter the birther movement is generating and sent a link to this must-view video of Jon Stewart mocking the birthers. A couple days later, I recieved the following terse reply: gfys [a text abbreviation for "go fuck yourself"]. Perhaps I should have began the body of my email with "Dear Mr. Corsi" instead of "Hey Douche."
