Problems with comprehending english. I’ve already pointed them out yet you still don’t get it. Epic fail – you and I both know better Pee Wee.

Have fun in you darkened movie theaters and say hello to Perfesser Caricature while you’re there.

I’ll repeat, because I like the appearance of my own words, epic fail on your part.

timmah – You continue to have trouble comprehending the english language. Perhaps you won’t need that with what you intend to do with whatever you plan for that law degree if you ever finish it. I stated I was pasting a self tribute you wrote to yourself. I think it speaks for itself.

And no, I am not stalking you, but it is interesting that your imagination is getting the best of you, or is it paranoia? Why do you continue to think you can have private, one on one chats on these blogs Pee Wee? It’s one of your common refrains. I’m sure you are aware there are other places more appropriate for that.

You are not worth following around. Why are you so obsessed with Jeff Goldstein and the commenters at Protein Wisdom, though, timmah? Is it a mancrush thing? You can’t seem to stop talking about them even when you are commenting at other blogs. Breaking up is tough to do, but isn’t it time for you to move on from that relationship?

Tapper is not without substantial flaws in his history. He was as guilty as Elisabeth Busmiller of the NYT and Marc Ambrister of The Atlantic of propagating the ridiculous — and easily disprovable falsehood — that Sarah Palin had been a member of what Democratic operatives were spinning as a radical secessionist party in Alaska.

It took me less than two minutes of Googling to confirm that under Alaska law, someone who’s registered as a member of one party cannot legally be a member of another party simultaneously. And within a matter of hours after the accusations first surfaced on some left-wing blogs, the McCain-Palin campaign had provided conclusive proof that Gov. Palin had been a registered member of the Alaska GOP continuously since 1982. (It would have taken less time but for the fact that the rumor was begun over a weekend, and the publicly available voter registration records couldn’t be accessed until the following Monday.) But Tapper not only bought the disinformation hook, line, and sinker, and not only failed to note its weak sourcing, he failed to confess to his own journalistic malpractice in failing to consult public sources that would have conclusively disproved the hoax. Instead, he effectively turned himself and ABC News into an Obama disinformation tool and lent the falsehood whatever legitimacy ABC News can confer. Of course, his subsequent backtracking got only a fraction of the links and traffic that his initial falsehood did.

My opinion was, and remains, that a misstep of this magnitude — one that could have so easily been avoided — ought to have been a firing offense at any news organization genuinely concerned with maintaining high journalistic standards. It’s only by virtue of a loose and relative standard, applied by reference to gaggles of political reporters indistinguishable from Democratic-crazed sewer rats, that Tapper seems diligent, brave, or open-minded.

My particular bone to pick is when I proved to him that a President *can* fire an SEC Chair — a proposition that is not at all debatable — he waved his hand airily and got pissy when I pressed on it politely. Meanwhile, the LAT issued a retraction — demonstrating a greater humility, willingness to learn, open-mindedness, and devotion to the truth than Tapper. In that one instance.

I’ll not forget that soon, but you’re right, Beldar: compared to the other wimps he seems tough.

Pray tell, then, are you stalking me? Posting comments from other sites, following from thread to thread with your typical inanities, interjecting yourself into my conversations with others. You want to see someone living up to your own definition of stalking, try a mirror.

At any rate, I fail to see how what I wrote there is offensive, I urged ML to stop arguing with me (and his references to “salad tossing” did get a bit old)and go to a site where no one is allowed to disagree (hell, the owner even goes after Patterico, whose major sin, according to him, seems to be that Patrick runs a better blog and has more traffic)

Nonetheless, I think my favorite comment, besides Pablo’s typical non-sequitors, was ML, the man who urged me to come to Little Green Footballs 2 (where he is an administrator) so he could get my “input,” now says I “stalked” him. Was that because I declined your invitation to comment at LGF2, ML? Or, just because you read the word and it sounded cool?

Allow to agree with myself, you guys are funny. None of you knows what the heck you’re talking about.

Heh.
