BoingBoing Decides To Alienate Conservatives

BoingBoing is a great site, if you’re a tech-nut I’m sure you have visited the site plenty of times. However, the tech giant decided that there must be too many, or too little, conservatives on their site because they have taken a cheap shot at the YAF. It makes no sense to me really, but then again the left wing nuts are everywhere. All you have to do is look around the corner and you’re sure to find one hiding in your dumpster waiting to complain about your garbage quota. But I am also frustrated when I see politics brought up where it not need be.

Here’s is what they found irresistible, a promotional poster released by the YAF.

Young America’s Foundation is kindly giving away copies of its Conservative VIP poster, as seen here.

Hang the leaders of the Conservative Movement on the wall in your office, home, or dorm! Young America’s Foundation is excited to offer our latest breakthrough poster that brings together the strongest leaders and advocates of the Conservative Movement in a unique group photo! This is the only poster of its kind that includes these twelve conservative luminaries: John Ashcroft, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Robert Novak, Ward Connerly, Dinesh D’Souza, Walter Williams and many more.

Get your *free conservative VIP poster here… while supplies last!

*You pay only shipping and handling! [[$7]]

They had me with the first seven words of their pitch. Link (Thanks, Colin!)

Of course Michelle Malkin isn’t very happy, considering she is on the poster. Here is the response.

Dear Michelle,

Of course I don’t think anyone should be hanged for their political views. I was making fun of the advertising copy.

(For what it’s worth I would have written the same had the poster shown the members of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans.)

Best regards — Mark

I highly doubt that, looking around the site I failed to find any joke or slander towards the left. This is just one more example of something that is acceptable when said about the right but if it was the other way around I’m sure there’d be a big fuss. If he said that about a bunch of liberals I’m sure boycottboinboing.com would pop up and they would condemn them on the house floor.

Some comments from their obviously ‘not left’ readers.

Oh boy.

Do they sell bundles with dart sets, too?

Every day I’m furthur amazed how people can associate with (and/or tolerate) the conservative movement in the US and keep a straight face. *sigh*

A very quick hackjob as a response to Dave X / #3.

I’m at a public PC at my college, trying to study, so I hadn’t much time to make it look better.

Just think: they were all in the same room at once for this photo.

What an opportunity.

The mottled gray background represents the ash heap of history that the legacies of these arrogant bozos will be archived in.

I can’t figure out how anyone that expects respect or wants to be taken seriously would identify or associate with the likes of Ann Coulter.

You beat me to it, DCULBERSON. I can’t believe the Young America Foundation seriously considers reading Ann Coulter essential to anyone’s education.

A rare gem I saw scrolling down the page..

The self-righteous “I don’t know ANYONE who voted for Reagan” types are stunned when he won in a landslide. Conservatism continues to appeal to free-thinking, daring young minds. Wonderful.

But a genius replied.

Huh, that’s ironic, because I can actually feel my IQ dropping whenever I hear Ann Coulter speak.

Just one more, the comments are here if you feel the need.

And the winner for most offensive comments goes to:

“May we also suggest: Ann Coulter Poster”

The Ann Coulter poster is yours. Take it. Rape it.

And to think with all these starling left-wing minds you can’t seem to win a Presidential election, how sad.
