Mitch McConnell Reads DitchMitchKY
Joe Sonka August 16th, 2007
Well, it looks like we’ve really gotten under someone’s skin.
Mitch McConnell is sending out fundraising letters to supporters in which he whines about the "liberals, radicals, far-left, unions, Hillary, Schumer, etc…" who are hounding him about his pathetic record and his obedience to corporate contributers and George W. Bush rather than his constituents in Kentucky. In fact, we are "the 60’s anti-war movement on steroids!". That’s probably the greatest unintentional complement I’ve ever received. I think I’ll have that put on my gravestone/obituary: "one of the leaders of the 60’s anti-war movement on steroids".
Anyway, Mitchy even gives a big shout out to the good folks at Ditch Mitch!
"Liberals on the internet have already created a website called "Ditch Mitch," and 6,000 radicals from across the nation have already signed up."
Hey, Mitchy, glad to see you’re reading the site! We feel humbled by your presence.
And as far as being a "radical", I wish. I don’t think you can have an 8-5 Mon-Fri non-political office job and be defined as "radical". But I aspire to prove you right someday, Mitchy. And we’re FAR more than 6,000, I can guarantee you that.
On second thought, maybe I’ll have "the leader of 6,000 liberal radicals" on my gravestone/obituary, that’s even better. (Though that honor technically should go to Matt Gunterman or Aniello, amongst a few others.)
And look what we have here. Why it’s Mitchy’s full faundraising letter, in all of its paranoid glory. It’s funny, you can almost smell the desperation in here. For Christ’s sake, have a little more dignity Mitchy.

No, I’m not on steroids. But thank you for asking. Radicalism in defense of liberty? Moderation in pursuit of virtue? I’ll not comment further, lest I fall into the rhetorical trap of a man of the ’60’s. Anyway, the pro-war Republicans have their candidates in Mitch McConnell and Hal Rogers. Let’s Ditch Mitch and Ditch Hal Rogers, also.
Matt Gunterman is a radical (so says Mitch McConnell).
Radicalism is hot (so says conventional wisdom).
Therefore, Matt Gunterman is hot (so say we all).
Makes perfect sense to me.
hey mitch this not from “6,000 radicals from across the nation” this little old town in western ky, has also joined ditchmitch. that you come to on election years,that is if you come back to Fancy Farm next year.that make this old grand paw feel young again to be called a radical “also a vet 65 69″
Maybe this is why I only ever get form letters back when I write to our senator about issues of concern.
Well I think the 60’s had radicals who where much more motivated. I haven’t seen any mass marches on Washington lately. No CSN singing about Ohio, etc…
However, I haven’t seen much of Mitch either. According to my neighbors he lives in my neighborhood, perhaps if he were here in Kentucky dealing with our issues, rather than in California crying about other peoples, I could have seen him pass while I was raking the leaves last fall.
My hats off to Kilowat. I was in 93′-98′,VMA-231 and although I had faith in the Republican party then, I have since come to realize the sad truth about it.
It occurs to me that if anyone is trying to return America to ‘Old Europe’ it would be the Republicans. Nothing like a ruling class to remind the rest of us where our ‘place’ is.
my hat off to you Lorenzo, marine, i was in VF31
My hat off to you Lorenzo, marine also. I was stationed on the USS Blakely (DE 1072) as a Navy sailor.
