What is Debbie Schlussel’s PROBLEM?
I almost hate to even post this, because I don’t like giving people attention when they’re acting like asses. But after the last week, I’ve seen so much crap coming from DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL that I might as well write about it, because she’s already gotten a (momentary) traffic boost from others.
First (that I know of), there was the insanity with Misha, where she took offense to Misha’s (typical) colorful language in referring to her. Instead of ignoring it, thin-skinned Debbie threatened Misha with legal action. A LAWSUIT, because Misha called her names. Poor widdle baby. Sorry, but anyone who reads the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler knows that language is part of their schtick. Don’t like harsh language? Well, don’t read the Rott. (Actually, you probably aren’t reading this, either, if you don’t like salty language.) But Debbie, not bothering to “know her enemy,” felt singled out, the poor little dear. Follow the links in this order: original post, folllow up posts 1 and 2.
Debbie Schlussel, if you can’t take the heat, get the hell outta the kitchen. You’re NEVER going to have everyone agree with or like you.
Next, there was the insanity with Beth Donovan. Debbie couldn’t even be bothered to answer her polite emailed question about a story; instead, she took it as an attack and replied to Beth’s email with a bunch of insults and ridiculously confused accusations, and threatened to REPORT HER TO THE FBI. What the fark!?!
Debbie Schlussel, were you raised by apes? Do you have any concept of manners? Do you ever bother to actually READ what people ask you? And how the hell did you ever get the idea that the Donovans have anything to do with Denmark, or with the Misha kerfluffle?
Oh, but that’s not all. The next target was Jay of Stop the ACLU, because Jay committed the Grave Sinâ„¢ of linking to Misha’s post about Schlussel (saying something like “I hate it when friends of mine are involved in things like this.”). What was her response? She accused Jay of STEALING donations. In fact, from all other accounts, those who donated for an anti-ACLU “mission” (on which Jay and Debbie were working together) have said that her charge is patently false. Regardless, after Debbie made her accusations and failed to hold up her crucial end of the bargain, Jay offered to return donations to the donors. Has she issued an apology or correction at her site, where she made her accusations? NO. So for all her readers know, Jay is a thief, a con artist. Pretty serious accusations, wouldn’t you say?
Debbie Schlussel, what’s your problem?
If you ask me, she probably thinks being sharp-tongued makes her like her (obvious) idol, Ann Coulter. She even linked to a moonbat article about how she and Coulter are virtually interchangeable–nevermind it was hardly a flattering article, except for the fact that Debbie Schlussel being described as similar to Coulter is obscenely generous. So I guess for her, it was flattering. So she links to it in an unrelated post, presumably to remind her readers, “look at me! I’m just like Ann!” YOU WISH, hon’. The difference: Ann Coulter is funny, coherent, intelligent, and yes, has a sharp tongue. Debbie Schlussel is never funny, totally incoherent, and seemingly not intelligent, despite her insistence that she’s a member of Mensa (big f’n deal, I’m eligible for it too and so are most of the bloggers I read). Sharp tongue? That’s not an accurate description. More like “asshole.” Or “annoying.”
Debbie Schlussel, you are no Ann Coulter.
Here’s another example of why I think she tries to be outrageous to get attention like Coulter. The other day, she wrote an article “Your Tax $s to Fund Stomach Operations for Fat Chicks?”
FAT CHICKS? Is this supposed to be some kind of cheap knockoff of Coulter’s “raghead” remark? FAT CHICKS? Who the hell is she? Look, I weigh in at a whopping 105 pounds, and I’m pissed about that remark. Some of my closest friends are overweight. Even if that were not the case, I’d still be pissed. And Debbie, you dumbass, “fat chicks” aren’t just lazy bums sitting on the couch stuffing mountains of food in their faces. (If that were the case, I’d be a “fat chick” too.) I’m not about to teach Debbie F’n Schlussel in this post about the variety of medical reasons for being overweight or obese–it’s not my job to do the research for her articles, it’s HERS. (And by the way, it’s not just “fat chicks,” it’s the obese–male or female–who get the surgery in question in her ridiculous screed.) If she doesn’t do her research and just writes her knee-jerk reactions, she should EXPECT a negative reaction. I guarantee she’s lost readers with that crack.
Frankly, I’ve never been a fan of hers. I always thought she was a pretender, a fluke, a wannabe, a poser. I still don’t get why she has readers or listeners; there are untold thousands who are far better out there. I guess that “blonde conservative woman” thing helps, but damn, she’s an extremely poor example of conservative women, and conservatives in general. She’s embarrassing. I don’t ever want to be lumped in the category of “conservative women” with HER. She belongs in the “deranged media whore” category (note: no implication of actual sex for money implied, Debbie–call off the lawsuit, you ditz). She’s thin-skinned, is notorious for deleting comments at her site from those who challenge her unsupported assertions, and writes as though she’s never heard of authoritative sources. And now she wants to fight with bloggers. Charming. Furthermore, all I’ve ever seen with regard to the Right at her site is Bush-bashing. I don’t remember ever seeing anything there that promotes conservatism. With friends like her among self-described conservatives, who needs the Left?
Don’t forget Vinnie’s poll.

William Teach says:
Debbie is a bit thin skinned to be a. in politics, b. in the Blogosphere, and c. a lawyer. Put her on Opra, and she would probably break down with a Cameron Diaz type “moment.”
And who the f*ck voted for her twice in vinnies poll?

Chloe on 24 is more personable.
Martin Hague says:
People usually react this way when they have something to hide or have been caught. Debbie got caught making up sources to support a story that totally farking collapses without her fabrications.
Ann Coulter stands up in front of hundreds of hissing liberal students, ROUTINELY, and confronts them with their own lunacy.
This is how Debs reacts to a little pushback from ideological FRIENDS. One can only conclude that were she to stand up as Ann Coulter does, in front of a pack of baying left-wingers, Debbie would simply start crying and shi’ite her pants. And run off stage. And threaten a lawsuit.
So, Ann Coulter she is not.
Crybaby and fraud? Seems like a serious possibility.
Debbie says:
I think she doest protect too much. I have read some of her articles and thought she was OK. But this is just weird. Get over it, already woman. Don’t be a cry baby. You’re acting like a wimpy woman. You’re acting like Audrey Raines on 24 (hate her).
William Teach says:
OMG, I thought for a minute that Debbie above was going to be Little Miss Shi’ite Her Pants threatening Beth, Martin, and myself with a lawsuit. :smile:

–time to up the meds.

Beth you are one tough little woman.lol damn I thought I could kick butt
Francis W. Porretto says:
Schlussel is known for this sort of thing. She’s also locked ‘em up with the exceedingly polite and gracious Cathy Young.
If memory serves, Schulssel’s entry to journalism was in sports, covering Detroit Pistons basketball. That would explain a lot, wouldn’t it?
Alabama Improper says:
Yeah, I hate to admit this but when I was a young and impressionable (:roll:) blogger I used to read her on a regular basis and liked her but then her “reporting” and/or writing started going all weird and I quit.
She definitely can dish it out but can’t take it when given back to her. She is a crybaby. I haven’t read her in quite some time now.

Wild Thing says:
Schlussel who?
She can only dream of having people that care about her like we all care about you
Beth. From what you explained and I thank you so much for doing this step by step
post of how things came about. ((hug))
Schlussel has shown what she is and there is no turning back. If she did apologize
she would have to live the apology to prove to me anyway that she is sincere. And
that is not going to happen.

Where is Hubris? Shouldn’t he be piping in with some brilliantly gallant piece of enabling like “No, YOU’RE the asshole”?
Rick Moran says:
I would say that’s just about the best smackdown of a blogger I’ve seen in a while.
Taking lessons from Misha, are we?
Janette -- Common Sense Runs Wild says:
Damn that was so rough I almost feel pity for her. Almost.
I have to admit I’ve never read her blog and certainly don’t care to now. She’s certainly gone out of her way to offend some of the best people in the blogosphere. Just another nutter trying to find a gimmick to drum up hits.

I had to go look at her site (never heard of her), but now I’m trying to contain my laughter after visiting her yahoo group fan site. Who creates a fan club of themselves for their fans anyways? And uses Yahoo groups to do it? Anyways, the latest posts are…ummm..enlightening.

MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy » Blog Archive » Debbie Schlussel strikes again says:
[...] And that’s what she is. An unhinged nutcase, like Phelps. WHY anyone continues to associate with her (via their blogroll, links, syndication, whatever) is beyond me–unless they’re using her, of all people, as an example of the Right in a derogatory way. She routinely insults her commenters (see for yourself), attacks bloggers (and now also Jim Geraghty at NRO), and writes crap that reads like it came from the mind of a deranged conspiracy theorist. She’s a disgrace. It’s no wonder the Left likes to point her out to others. And now, she’s made threatening comments to a close friend of mine. Certainly, her apparent default state of mind would lead one to believe she would kill someone for disagreeing with her. I thought her repetitive retorts accusing people of problems with “reading comprehension” were irritating, if not laughable. The threats of lawsuits, calling the FBI (wtf?), and outright libel were totally uncalled-for and outrageous, but provided for weeks of laughs at her expense. I guess she didn’t get enough of an ego boost, enough publicity (negative publicity isn’t always better than no publicity, Debbie) from those tactics, though. Now she’s gone there. “I’d have to kill you,” she says. Debbie Schlussel: You’re an idiot. (And before you whip out that Mensa card around here, anyone who goes around announcing their membership in Mensa is a joke. Only an insecure moron would feel the need to “prove” their intelligence by telling everyone they’re in Mensa.) You have no idea how to write persuasively and logically; all you do is fling poo. You don’t even qualify as an extremist–you’re just plain mentally unstable. You are a FRAUD. Stupid unhinged bitch. [...]
