Idiot of the Day: Michael Crook
If you sign this racist idiot’s guestbook (’hat tip: Michelle Malkin), be sure to misspell all the curse words so they don’t get bleeped out. Moron Crook’s crooked history here.
UPDATE (5/17): Just when I thought this scumbag had gone as low as any person could go, yesterday he took things to yet another level, by attempting to fake his own murder – by two unnamed soldiers, of course.
UPDATE (5/18): Now Crook is claiming to have risen from the dead. Thanks to commenter Lindsay for the tip. So now it’s official: Michael Crook is not dead, just very, very sick.

Michael Crook is still running “Forsake The Troops” at the following domain:
http://www.smishosting.info/
His other sites seem to be down at this time, but there’s an article about the soldier’s camera he held for ransom:

Ahhhh yes hte idiot of the day. Is that all this per… wait let say pondscum in which he is loving every minute of this because he is hiding behind OUR constitution even though he is making it know who he is. See I think that the moron aka pondscum aka should have been swallowed was rejected from being accepted in the military so decided to lash out on the men and women who serve our beloved country. I served in it for 6 years and granted I did not alway agree on things that were said or done but I still served with pride. If this Richard Cranium does not like what our troops are doing then maybe should move to lets say Libia or Chad somewhere where he can work and not worry about us “Leeches”

I think my website will tell you everything I would say here, except for the fact that I feel honored that I was kicked out of his forums and none of my posts made it to public view. Michael Crook, you’re a loser pal.

When I heard of this horrible site, I had to take a look into it. I’m an ARMY wife, so of course I’m very upset. As I was searching through the internet I found his personal profile, the way it reads is that he joined the military out of high school. Evidently he couldnt get past boot camp. There are sections on this profile of people asking him questions about the military. He qouted ” there was nothing I liked about the military.” SO I have come to a conclusion that he’s just pissed off because he COULDNT make it. He had a chance at the benefits and all that but he messed it up, so instead of being mad at HIMSELF. He takes it out on US. WHAT A DUMBAZZ. HAHAHA, I think its funny that he is so pissed. POOR PATHETIC BOY! HE IS JUST A LOSER.

Crook’s site is nothing more than a disgusting, misguided attempt to garner fame through the anger and misery of others. In other words, the little bastard’s just another attention whore!
An interesting side note: I read that SMIS Hosting, where FTT is registered, is actually owned by Crook. Funny how the domain name came up for sale recently. Not only is he a washout loser and an attention whore, he is also a con artist.
Crook also admits that when he joined the service he knew he had a heart condition. He said he was “lucky that it was ship day” at the MEPS, otherwise the doctor might have noticed it and denied his application. As it stands, this skinny little dork fell out of a 1 mile run (dear God man, how weak are you?!) and went to the hospital. There his condition was discovered, his lie was exposed, and he was subjected to a Medical Evaluation Board.
Loser…

I was extremely appalled and angered upon viewing this man’s…no wait, he’d have to be human to be a ‘man’…website. In fact, the words ‘appalled’ and ‘angered’ don’t even do my emotions justice. I also feel that he shouldn’t be just the ‘idiot of the day’, but perhaps for a week, or even a month. This guy is lower than pondscum. Even that news article how he was holding someone’s camera for ransom is just ridiculously absurd. This is my opinion not because I am a member of the Army National Guard, but because I’m a human being. There is a petition online that aims to get this Crook’s website off the internet. I urge everyone who has any decency whatsoever to sign this petition in hopes that this scum can no longer infuriate other people.

This little punk needs a nice, wholesome ass-kicking.
[Looks like he got that, and more. Hope you're happy. -X]
[UPDATE: Or maybe not. D'oh! - X]

According to forsakethetroops. info
On Monday evening, the webmaster of Forsake The Troops was brutally assaulted by two men, thought to be members of the military, in response to their opinions about this website. Mr. Crook had been the target of numerous death threats and trespassers at his residence. All of these threats were saved and have been turned over to the authorities.
UPDATE:
At 6:19pm Eastern time, Michael Crook died of his injuries, after being rushed by ambulance to the leading hospital in the area for head trauma. The two men who allegedly assaulted him are currently in the custody of police. Mr. Crook died with his wife and infant daughter present.
It is therefore the decision of his family, and associates that Forsake The Troops goes offline, to prevent further incidents of violence and threats against his family. Therefore, this domain will permanantly go offline at around 5pm Eastern time, on Tuesday, May 17th, 2005.
Comments, and well-wishes may be addressed to noc@smishosting.com. Media inquiries (no interviews with family at this time), or sincere inquiries from well-meaning people may be directed to (315) 558-4372.
Leave a voice mail message and your call will be returned by our media representative. The family requests privacy at this time.
May 16th, 2005 at 7:37 pm
His website has posted his obituary. He was assaulted by two soldiers…apparently.
May 16th, 2005 at 11:24 pm
May he roast in hell if it’s true. However, since I highly doubt he had a wife and infant daughter, I doubt the veracity of the notice. He probably just got threatened very nicely. Either way, mission accomplished, God bless the troops.
May 17th, 2005 at 4:27 am
Fake. I live in the same city as this pathetic waste of space, and no local media has mentioned this…only his website. Also notice, that nothing is mentioned as to where the incident took place, or what hospital he went to. That is so no facts can be found. This is another publicity stunt.
May 17th, 2005 at 6:18 am
I call BS on his obituary posting. He is a poor pathetic nitwit with no life.
May 17th, 2005 at 6:34 am
Pangderx, they have a phone number for inquiries. Why not give them a ring? Maybe they’ll give you the facts you need to verify it – or maybe not.
May 17th, 2005 at 6:40 am
[...] ldiers. Lovely. Thanks to commenters Airman Eric X and Peter1968 for the tips. UPDATE: Some commenters think this too is a stunt. We’ll see.

May 17th, 2005 at 9:38 am
Has anyone called the number yet??
May 17th, 2005 at 9:45 am
Phone number answers immediately to a default answering machine message.
May 17th, 2005 at 10:39 am
They’re now listing a different phone number: (315) 295-2602, and inviting emails to condolences@michaelcrook.com rather than something a bit more intuitive, like gloatingbastards@forsakemichaelcrook.com.
May 17th, 2005 at 11:31 am
I called the new number. it goes straight to voice mail. I am going to toss in the BS flag on this one.
May 17th, 2005 at 3:39 pm
i loved it the way everybody at democratic underground immediately empathised with crook and threw up the solidarity fist in his honor.
you remember those commercials where they’d do the blind taste test? the subjects would roll the liquid in their mouths and swear it was gormet.
well, that’s what we have here. what will be dismissed tomorrow to be an obvious hoax perpetrated by a nazi, today stands as evidence of where progressives really stand. not only did they identify with a website named “foresake the troops” and project their own standad enemies onto the story, but it was revealed that, in a blind taste-test, nine out of ten progressives prefer the flavor of nazis.
May 18th, 2005 at 4:38 am
Murder mystery or murder hoax?
A commenter has alerted me to an interesting question of fact, the answer to which I do not know, as (despite my usual flippant attitude) I lack details. Is this man — one Michael Crook — really dead as this…
May 18th, 2005 at 7:42 am
Mike is revived! …. unfortunately

Heh, someone post his address, that way whenever someone makes it to syracuse, they can take a big fat shit on his lawn.

I heard the idiot Michael Crook for the first time tonight on Hannity and Combes. I couldn’t believe his thoughts on Forsake the Troops.
Hannity and Combes both put him to shame.
You know what I think about this little piece of shoecrap and all of his kind. I think that since there is so many college Know-it-alls out there that are trying to make our military and their recruiters look bad and are making it hard for the recuiters to make their quota’s, I think that it is going to be innevatable to have a draft if no one wants to join, and in that case, I think that these crackpots need to go to the head of the line. And when it comes to combat, they need to be human shields of some sort target to draw fire, or even send them over to the enemy’s side to try to have reasonable talks, the stupid crap for brains.

Apparently, Michael has been on the radio before. He only makes himself sound like a bigger idiot. Go here for the audio tapes. http://www.nhbradio.com/Downloads/tabid/55/Default.aspx I also got banned from his new blog, http://www.michaelcrook.com/

People what we have here is a very sick person he needs to be put away given massive treatments of eletro-shock and heavy medication. He has a Chemical imbalance from the lack of a very serious Opperation he has needed for a long time, the dangerous Rectal-crainal extraction.
August 11th, 2005 at 8:35 pm
The only thing I could get posted on teh website is on my member profile. Check it out at his site, “one angry guy,” under the user name “mike looks like quasi moto.”
November 2nd, 2005 at 2:00 am
There are many sites opposing his views. I find it funny that I can’t find anybody or any site supporting him.
…it’s ironic how he has created radically white supremacist website and has made harshly biggotted posts on his personal blogs but some of the racist sites he links to have bashed him as well.
…it seems EVERYBODY hates him.

Did you *see* his taste in music? LOL! He’s a complete ass-clown. Who could ever take him seriously after reading that???
Actually, I wouldn’t seeing a couple of Marines chat with him awhile….

So Google the A$$clown now, you will see EFF is suing him for false DMCA filings!!! YAHOOOOOOOO
