We’re dogging Shuler
One of the amusing things about this site is that as the press picks up on this site, the Shuler campaign have to keep answering questions about it.
The Henderson Times-News Picayune wrote an article about how the web allows "armchair politicos" to attack politicians. Sites profiled included stopshuler.com and taylorsucks.org (a good website, by the way — even if their reasoned attacks on Taylor completely ignore Shuler’s tenure with the Washington Redskins).
The best part was that the Shuler campaign had to actually come up with a quote about this site. Here’s what they said:
A spokesman for Taylor said last week he was familiar with the site targeting him but had no comment. Andrew Whalen, a spokesman for Shuler, said he didn’t think stopshuler.com would affect the election.
"I think they’re just both outlets for people’s anger," he said. "One comes from an unsuccessful NFL career and the other comes from a lack of leadership and ethical representation. One is more important than another."
You’re right, "Andrew." One is more important than another — more people go to Redskins games each week than the number of people who voted in the 11th District primaries.
Although, we did get them to say "unsuccessful NFL career"…

Hey, thanks for the shout-out!
I guess you can take consolation in the fact that Norv Turner’s not running for Congress. Yet.
You claim to be a Democrat, the future of our country is at stake and the only way we can save it is by ending the disastrous one party rule of the past five and a half years. Yet somehow you get your jollies by interfering with a Democrat’s chances of being elected to office. I’m sure you think you’re very funny, but the truth is you’re a total moron. You should be ashamed of yourself.
“The future of our country is at stake?” What about the future of the Washington Redskins? Maybe you should stop being so selfish.
Some people take this stuff way too seriously. I don’t think you can influence the country too much by keeping a failed quarterback from the mountains of North Carolina out of the House. Besides, these asshole commenters expose themselves when they care more about party affiliation than actual issues. Think for yourself moron.
Keep up the good work guys. This site is both funny and brilliant.
there is a rumor that mr. shuler never graduated college at all. is there any truth behind this?
Great site. Also, I love how you put “Andrew” in quotations, as if you’re alleging that his name isn’t really Andrew. Brilliant.
While you guys got to witness the free fall that was the beginning of his career, we in NOLA were lucky enough to be there to hear the “thud” as he hit rock bottom. Love the hate ads by the way.
Here is another piece of evidence to support your theory. Heath Shuler wore #5. He was drafted #3 overall in the NFL draft. 5+3=8. Shuler started his first game for the Saints on August 31, 1997(not surprisingly, a loss to the Rams), almost exactly eight (or rewritten, 5+3) years to the day before Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. Heath Shuler is also responsible for Katrina. FUCKATRINA.
I’m with you guys about keeping Shuler out of DC. I live here now. But don’t send him back to New Orleans. We don’t need that shit down there. Seriously. Feel free to post this evidence on your site. The Shuler effect is more powerful than even enlightened ones such as you imagined. It wasn’t Michael Brown or George W. Bush or Kathleen Blanco or Ray Nagin’s fault; it was Heath Shuler’s. And maybe also Ditka’s.
