This is what Glenn Reynolds' readers sound like.

So Putz sicced his readers on his Mother Jones interview neck rub. They didn't like all of the mean things the intolerant lefties were saying about him in comments, so they responded. This was very useful because Putz doesn't allow comments -- so now we know what they'd sound like if he did.

Here's a sampling:
Wow, what a bunch of pussies MoJo readers are!

Wow, even for the wacko left, these posters are serious idiots

Yup - the left is still full of self-righteous blithering morons

Truly a disgusting, inaccurate, unsophisticated, childish performance. "thinly-veiled shill for the GOP" -paul Hey, pal, sane people ARE shills for the GOP.

Comments like the ones here make me proud to be a Republican, and proud to have voted for Bush.
The rest are mostly self-righteous concern trolls of the, "it's sad you can't tolerate another point of view" variety. Blah blah blah. But it's just amazing that these people seem totally baffled by the anger directed at their beloved Pundit and don't get the following:
  1. Reynolds calls "the left" traitors on a regular basis;
  2. People who read Mother Jones tend to be on the left; and,
  3. People don't like being called traitors.
A good number of the posts object to a comment accusing Putz of being a "racist."

Now, I have no idea if Putz is a racist or not, but this is a guy who thinks its funny to misapply the term "civil rights" to guns, played Katrina for laughs, has very strange taste in t-shirts, and, it should be pointed out -- has accused those opposed to the war in Iraq of racism.

Whether he is a bigot or not, it certainly wouldn't be impossible for someone to get that impression, and as he's made the same accusation against others, he's certainly not above such charges himself.

Thanks, Mother Jones, for giving us a glimpse of how Putz's readers think.
