Indianapolis Star Readers Hate The Chicks!

Every time Daisy and I write for the Indianapolis Star, the comment section on the Star website is filled with comments from local folks who absolutely hate us.  We’re not talking about people who simply disagree with us – no – these are people whose hatred is palpable.

We always know it’s coming, and it’s become sort of a running joke between us.  Because for whatever reason, supporters of our work send us lovely emails, but never frequent the comment section at the Star.  I guess they’re afraid that the leftist cooties will get ’em.

I don’t blame them, I suppose, given the viciousness of some of the comments.

Our column this week is about transgenders, which I was informed (in the comment section) isn’t an Actual Word, but I’ve opted to use it because trans folks keep telling me I have to use words like “xe” and “zir” so I figure if they can make up words, so can I.

Here’s a little taste of the Indianapolis Star comment section.  Read our article, and then feast your eyes on some of these responses.

Look at all the great points Jesse made to refute our column!  He’s so clearly well-informed.

That first comment was mine.  Second comment – Daisy’s.

First comment – mine.  Second comment – Daisy’s.

Both of those comments were mine.  By that point, Daisy had had her fill of these weirdos.  I’m more masochistic, I suppose.

We read several of the comments on the air, actually.  But Mike Rippy’s were by far our favorite.  The part where he said he “ignores us” and we’re “small fry” and that was the “only moment he wasted?”  Remember that.  I’ll come back to him in a second.

Said two chicks who were apparently unable to refute a single point made in the “fact-free” “drivel.”  Typical.

We have no reason to fear monger.  Reality is plenty scary all on its own.

Anyway, back to Mike Rippy, who ignores us “small fries” and wastes no time on us.  His Facebook page, at the time of this writing, is public, and for two chicks who are small fries who he wastes no time on and ignores, we sure do occupy some rent-free space in his brain.

In case that link doesn’t work, or he figures out that it’s kinda dumb to have a public page, here’s a screenshot of all of the ignoring of us he’s doing.

His friends are charmers, aren’t they?  Especially Justin – he’s really got a way with words.

Anyway, I hope y’all read our column.  Let us know what you think.
