> [@](#): > > The only way I can describe Ann Romney is that she looked like there was someone under her seat doing weird things to her butt and she was trying to look like it wasn’t happening. Well, she is a cancer survivor, so there’s that. There’s also her ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis. If she’s in physical discomfort I think it’s empathy I’m going to feel for her, not something demeaning. I don’t get all this vitriol and hate for a candidate’s family. I didn’t agree with Romney’s policies so I expressed myself with my vote. To personally denigrate a man simply because he has different values than I and to insult and fantasize about gross perversions inflicted upon his family certainly does not reflect well about the values and policies one espouses themself. Seems to me this and many other ongoing threads aren’t doing much to fight ignorant attitudes and cheapen a victory we should otherwise rightfully enjoy in full. ---

Oh, you people with all your pontifications about how you’d like me to act. You people think you know so much about how to treat others, but really you know so very, very little. Go away, you annoy me. You have no idea how hard it is to post demeaning shit on a messageboard. You think it’s easy? You come here and try it, I dare you. I double-dog dare you!! ---

I’m worried about you PRR. Masturbating furiously like the retarded cactus fucker you are every time you think about Obama being in office and Romney not is not good for your health. I’ve heard that one really shouldn’t masturbate more than 732 times a day. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > And kind of tacky. Evidently the obssessor is unaware that the target of his venom has MS. That she has MS is irrelevant. This weird attack on Ann Romney would still be worrying even if she were the picture of perfect health. Seriously, **prr** , did Ann Romney crush your dog with her car elevator or something? I really don’t get this. ---

He’s just having fun on a message board. No need to get all, “She has MSssssss thoughhh”. I mean, how is some yahoo spouting off on a message board affecting Ann or her MS? Listen, when celebrities make movies, or Millionaires go into politics, or singers make records…they all can expect to have great success and adoration from the public, and they all can expect to have assholes on message boards judging them. Both of those things come with the territory. Ann Romney really doesn’t need a white knight in this thread, trust me. The Romneys went into this game ready to get down and dirty and fight hard. So the least of the mud that still clings to their clothes is a few Obama supporters indulging in some hyperbolic fantasy posts. ---

Well, I thought castigating her for looking fatigued as though that is an indicator of her being evil is tacky. prr’s already basically admitted he doesn’t give a hoot about the facts. He’s just on a sick, sad, pathetic attack on the lady. ---

I don’t look at it as protecting Ann Romney. I look at it as Obama’s victory is like we got a new set of drapes and prr, as a way of attention-whoring, is wiping his ass on them. Pointing out that we would prefer the new drapes unbeshitted isn’t protecting the other set of drapes that we left unpurchased at the store. ---

I don’t think most people are really that upset on Ann Romney’s behalf. I doubt she’s even aware of this MB. Most people are simply shocked by what a creepy asshole **prr** is. It shouldn’t be a surprise to SDMB regulars, but I suppose he’s outdone himself here. ---

Oh, you poor benighted pathetic people–it’s so sweet to see the way you protect your noble lady. Why, it’s exactly as if she cares a damn about you, or understands the first thing about how you live your lives, or ever suffered a minute of her life without all the money she ever needed, the best doctors, the finest vacation homes, the best schools for her kids–and the hell with yours, and your needs, and your lives. I’m glad to see a list of so many of the worst scum here– **scumpup** and **larry borgia** and **drunky smurf** –being forced to defend Queen Ann just because I’m “attacking” her. That gives me so much encouragement to keep it up! This is fun, coming up with scenarios in which she writhes in her own special agony, plus I get to see these idiots get all lathered up about it, too? Sweet! ---

I don’t think anybody is lathered up. I think they’re just baffled by the strange writhing thing in the corner and wondering whether they should poke it with a stick or leave it alone. ---

You know, watching you gibbering and smearing yourself with feces while you proclaim yourself my superior was morbidly interesting for a little while.

I think they’re just baffled by the strange writhing thing in the corner and wondering whether they should poke it with a stick or leave it alone. They seem to be incapable of not poking it. Which is good, because it reminds me to keep producing this material. I’m amused both by the material and by their frenetic denunciations of it, and me, and all my ancestors and my descendants, and fellow-believers and affinities and collaborators. I should show you the weird PMs \*\*Scumpup \*\*sends me sometime, just hysterical off his chump stuff–you’ll never believe him again when he claims to be so blase about my online writings (as if you believe him now). You’ll be convinced that no one could write a total stranger such bizarre shit without caring a lot, and in a very peculiar way. ---

I sent you one pm, prr, and that was last week. Instead of your usual lying and exagerating, why don’t you just repost it here and let others draw their own conclusions. I have no problem with you doing that, as it isn’t much different from things I’ve said to you in this thread. If you prefer, I’ll repost it. ---

OK, this is getting creepy now. It’s one thing to take ONE cheap parting shot at her, but it’s getting weird now. Besides, it’s probably time to take pot shots at Rove instead, now that he’s had his live on TV melt down. He’s more deserving anyway. ---

I agree with you almost entirely politically from what I can remember of other threads. I think your comments can be amusing and thoughtful. However, I think the fantasies would be better off kept to an anonymous blog of some sort. Better still, I think your imagination and time would be better spent attacking targets who are still attempting to subvert the democratic process for their own plutocratic interests. For what it’s worth. Your contributions on other topics won’t be diminished in my eyes, but based on these topics, other people may just dismiss you as some kind of raving paranoiac (like, Ann having difficulty getting up in the morning isn’t a very polite motif to target at an MS sufferer, however much she support denying any form of treatment to other sufferers).
