Last week the Brawler and others noted the post-election meltdown by Texas Hold Em Blogger, a man brave enough to harass people for speaking Spanish in front of him and go on to call them "chihuahuas" in the safety of his blog.
Tex went on to make comments at Boots and Sabers that could be construed as a death threat against the president-elect (along with hoping that American got hit by terrorist attacks). Specifically:
I don’t hope for his success. In fact, I seriously hope this country gets attacked by terrorists over and over again and every possible bad thing that can happen does happen ... to people like you.
If I had the money, I’d put a bounty on his melon. Seriously.
He (presumably he) went on to yank the entire blog. A sad day for all, a loss of knowledge and insight on par with the destruction of the library of Alexandria.
But now he's back -- and more paranoid than ever -- as "The Underground Conservative."
While the Badger Blog Alliance yanked Tex's blogging privileges in wake of his comments at Boots and Sabers, Badger Blogger has seen fit to link to his new home as has Real Debate as has one "Silent E." One wonders: will Charlie Sykes, Patrick McIlneran et al link to Tex's new house of crazy?
PaddyMac does like it refreshingly caustic and pungent.

Not only did BadgerBlogger ignore the death threat and instead just promote his new blog, they banned my IP address from even reaching their site for calling them on it.
Check out the comments where Patrick immediately has a tantrum and threatens to delete my comments.

The funniest part is he then objects to someone suggesting Peter be kept on a short leash, calling it "speech police", while at the same time he is banning people who disagree with him.

I believe Peter apologized for the chihuahua remark. However, that's flushed down the memory hole with the rest of it. He never got around to apologizing for suggesting that I'd like to have sex with a horse. Darn, now I can't even link to that old post, either. Perhaps this flushing is just Peter's way of apologizing for all his past deeds. Perhaps his new blog will be better. Whoops, no, I just read his new blog and it's pretty much the same. I guess we'll just need to rely on his ability to generate new amazingly bizarre posts.
Meanwhile, there's always my Texas Hold 'Em Blogger Parody.

Now Badger Blogger says that Peter said something inappropriate at Drinking Right, too, but he didn't say what it was...

If you want to see Patrick, Peter, Mickey and others really get testy, try posting little factoids about Jeni Reisinger of Sheboyganshenanigans.com. They sure don't like the truth to get out about their little Sheboygan toady who some of us fondly call "LIEsinger."
They continue to applaud her and link to her blog even though she's crossed the line so many times with her defamatory bloggings. Then she blocks the targets of her defamation and deletes their comments when they try to set the record straight.
Probably why the city is counter-suing her. I'm sure they're looking into her right wing Milwaukee connections, too.

don't bother commenting on Righteous Right Said Fred's blog. in his comments i called him out for his failure to condemn Peter's wish for a terrorist attack. now the comments section of that post have been scrubbed. "real debate" indeed. what an ass.

I just had another post deleted on Badgerblogger. Here's what I posted (Wow. This is SO offensive!):
"So typical of these right-wing blogs. Someone challenges you a little and they get called a "troll" and banned so you're only surrounded by your adoring cheerleaders.
How pathetic."

"I just had another post deleted on Badgerblogger."
I'm a moderator/commentor at BB. What name and/or email did you post this under? I will check to see if it was actually deleted or lost in our spam filter. If you email me, I will look into it.

My post showed up right away, then was deleted later.
I've had numerous posts deleted in the past.
Badgerblogger mods, along with Peter and Mickey, protect Jeni LIEsinger like they're running some sort of cyber-syndicate.

The only credible death threats coming in now are from members of anti-obortion groups. White Supremacy groups talk a good talk but none are a real present threat.
