The government would be so much better if all political debates were like this
I wish I was this good at insulting people.

I know. One of the most important things in recruiting offensive linemen, aside from size, is their grades and ACT/SAT scores.
How is this kind of bigotry and discrimination legal and acceptable en masse in America, a country whose people and politicians boast about living in the greatest nation with the brightest beacon of freedom in the world?
All I can say is that if the average angry letter is like a slap, then this would be the equivalent of being fisted with a handful of razorblades.
Government guy just got verbally raped.

I actually find it depressing how far America is from what it started out as, immigrants used to be welcomed as the backbone of America but now they're just seen as foreign invaders.
Guess I better start watching football
This sounds like a letter written by me.

He doesn't "contain" it.
He utilizes the awesome he generates and transforms it into things like this letter.

Ironic considering they were all once foreigners who raped the natives and stole their land right from under them.

The history of America is like the history of most empires, just condensed into a few hundred years and with some added slap stick comedy.

If you've ever studied American history, you'll notice that America has always hated foreigners.

Well at least the stereotype has been that of a cunt consistently in that case.

I'm not saying it's right, but everyone has a go-to scapegoat when things start going down the drain.

No, they were treated like shit hundreds of years ago, too.
Nice, this guy said like everything that needs to be said about the actual issue in a single letter.

Sometimes you just gotta blame it on yourself and learn something from the lesson.
fair letter, but i wish he didn't swear so much - lines like "holy fucking shitballs" threaten to make him look like an angry internet teenager, not an adult. i have no doubt that he's perfectly capable of delivering a searing retort without silly vitriol, so i wish he'd cut it out

[QUOTE=Kluwe's Other version]
Dear Emmett C. Burns Jr.,
I find it inconceivable that you are an elected official of the United States government. Your vitriolic hatred and bigotry make me ashamed and disgusted to think that you are in any way responsible for shaping policy at any level. The views you espouse neglect to consider several fundamental key points, which I will outline in great detail (you may want to hire an intern to help you with the longer words):
1. As I suspect you have not read the Constitution, I would like to remind you that the very first, the VERY FIRST Amendment in this founding document deals with the freedom of speech, particularly the abridgment of said freedom. By using your position as an elected official (when referring to your constituents so as to implicitly threaten the Ravens organization) to state that the Ravens should “inhibit such expressions from your employees”, more specifically Brendon Ayanbadejo, not only are you clearly violating the First Amendment, you also come across as a BEAUTIFULLY UNIQUE SPARKLEPONY. What on earth would possess you to be so mind-bogglingly stupid? It baffles me that a man such as yourself, a man who relies on that same First Amendment to pursue your own religious studies without fear of persecution from the state, could somehow justify stifling another person’s right to speech. To call that hypocritical would be to do a disservice to the word. SAD PUPPY DOG EYES hypocritical starts to approach it a little bit.
2. “Many of your fans are opposed to such a view and feel it has no place in a sport that is strictly for pride, entertainment, and excitement.” DISAPPOINTED LEMUR FACE WITH SOLITARY TEAR TRICKLING DOWN TO CHIN. Did you seriously just say that, as someone who’s “deeply involved in government task forces on the legacy of slavery in Maryland”? Have you not heard of Kenny Washington? Jackie Robinson? As recently as 1962 the NFL still had segregation, which was only done away with by brave athletes and coaches daring to speak their mind and do the right thing, and you’re going to say that political views have “no place in a sport”? I can’t even begin to fathom the cognitive dissonance that must be coursing through your rapidly addled mind right now; the mental gymnastics your brain has to tortuously contort itself through to make such a preposterous statement are surely worthy of an Olympic gold medal (the Russian judge gives you a ten for “beautiful oppressionism”).
3. This is more a personal quibble of mine, but why do you hate freedom? Why do you hate the fact that other people want a chance to live their lives and be happy, even though they may believe in something different than you, or act different than you? How does gay marriage, in any way shape or form, affect your life? If gay marriage becomes legal, are you worried that all of a sudden you’ll start thinking about DANCING CHUBTOAD? “ALACK AND ALAS MY TOP HAT HAS FALLEN. Gay marriage just passed. Gotta get me some of that DELICIOUS STATE FAIR HOTDOG!” Will all of your friends suddenly turn gay and refuse to come to your Sunday Ticket grill-outs? (unlikely, gay people enjoy watching football too)
I can assure you that gay people getting married will have zero affect on your life. They won’t come into your house and steal your children. They won’t magically turn you into a lustful FROLICKING OSTRICH. They won’t even overthrow the government in an orgy of hedonistic debauchery because all of a sudden they have the same legal rights as the other 90% of our population, rights like Social Security benefits, child care tax credits, Family and Medical Leave to take care of loved ones, and COBRA healthcare for spouses and children. You know what having these rights will make gays? Full fledged American citizens just like everyone else, with the freedom to pursue happiness and all that entails. Do the civil rights struggles of the past 200 years mean absolutely nothing to you?
In closing, I would like to say that I hope this letter, in some small way, causes you to reflect upon the magnitude of the colossal foot in mouth SLIDE WHISTLE TO E FLAT you so brazenly unleashed on a man whose only crime was speaking out for something he believed in. Best of luck in the next election; I’m fairly certain you might need it.
Sincerely,
Chris Kluwe
p.s. I’ve also been vocal as hell about the issue of gay marriage so you can take your “I know of no other NFL player who has done what Mr. Ayanbadejo is doing” and shove it in your close-minded, totally lacking in empathy piehole and choke on it. UNFORTUNATELY PHALLIC HEDGE SCULPTURE.

did read the blog-post, still disagree, and particularly with the rather feeble defence that i'm just closed-minded if i don't like his swearing. no chris, i get the whole message you're putting across, but i find the inclusion of "fucking shitballs" childish and degrades his message - frankly, if he thinks his english expression is absolutely meaningless, he may as well have just done dot-points for clarity. there are some instances in which the use of obscene language can be incredibly powerful, and i've read a few - this is not one of them.
e: and i disagree with fry as well. i've found that the over-use of words like "fuck" and "shit" actually does degrade language - turns these words into catch-all expressions of emotion, very similar to orwell's horror at the concepts of "good", "ungood" and "double-plus ungood". swearing has a specific purpose, and it should be used for that - it shouldn't become a linguistic sledge-hammer, imo.
