Reply #105: Beckwith's Tourette's: What happens when he's confronted via e-mail by a REPUBLICAN in Georgia? [View All]

[johnfunk]

I gave a heads-up to an enlightened GOPer of my acquaintance who is voting for Obama ("... I like where he's coming from... he has a realistic chance of restoring Constitutional balance and fiscal discipline while dealing with the energy and economy. McCain and the reigning GOP coterie would just fuck the country up even more severely.") about teh article this morning. He decided to drop "Peckerwith"... er, "Beckwith" a note.

Irrelevant: Ms. Allen and Mr. Mosk never made any such claim; Ms. Allen is working with a team of researchers who divide a large workload (including interviews). Your assertion does nothing to deflect from the article's accuracy -- in fact, your overwheening whining is almost as bad as your refusal to remove content from your site that has been repeatedly shown to be false or incomplete in such a way as to depict a derogatory or negative image or stereotype of Senator Obama.

And that was a major flaw in just the first sentence of your whiny outburst! The rest of it is just as specious and weakly defensive; I will neither waste your time or mine by Fisking the rest of it, although it would be an amusing exercise in debunking someone unable to muster a robust defense of their words, actions, or dishonest web site.

It is not Senator Obama or the Washington Post but YOU who are the problem. In fact, some of your site's content is quite arguably actionable. Senator Obama, who has a spine when it comes to bare-knuckle politics (unlike Al Gore Jr. and John Kerry) has used the old Chicago metaphor to make it clear that "if they ((read: you)) bring a knife to the fight, we'll bring a gun." The WP story should have been a big warning shot across the bow to you ad your fellow disinformation agents. Here's a hint: instead of sabotaging your own image by posting a childish, defensive, unintentionally hilarious and ultimately unhelpful blog entry to your web site, I'd bet you a buck that you should have been retaining the services of a skilled litigator. Judging from word going around the beltway and campaign circles these days, my money is on the likelihood you will need one.

PS: Hire a better web designer! Your site's layout and typefaces are on the amateurish side.
