FrontPagemag.com Slimed Me
FrontPage magazine (run by David Horowitz) is lying about me.
From Scott Crofut's "Raving About Rove":
In typical leftist fashion, within hours the left-wing blogs proved Rove's point for him. Personal attacks started flying on the popular blogs. ThinkProgress.org, Shakespeare's Sister, The Democratic Daily.com and Raw Story.com. all felt obliged to prove the point themselves.
"F**k you Karl Rove," was how Raw Story.com began its studied response. "We are angry and we hate you and your boss as well as the rest of the f***ed up media and crony s*#t we all see all the time in addition to what has become of a once great country going down the tubes!!!!"
That's a despicable lie. I never wrote anything like that. And my article wasn't even editorialized one bit.
That lying sack of shit is using a comment left by a reader to smear me.
UPDATE
Well...that was quick. Story now reads:
In typical leftist fashion, within hours the left-wing blogs proved Rove's point for him. Personal attacks started flying in the comments sections of the popular blogs. Readers of ThinkProgress.org, Shakespeare's Sister, The Democratic Daily.com and Raw Story.com. all felt obliged to prove the point themselves.
"F**k you Karl Rove," was how one thoughtful disciple of Raw Story.com began his studied response. "We are angry and we hate you and your boss as well as the rest of the f***ed up media and crony s*#t we all see all the time in addition to what has become of a once great country going down the tubes!!!!"
I'll give credit to Front Page for correcting the story for all the other bloggers, as well, since it was the comments that Scott Crofut chose to cherry pick from a few places (I think it's perfectably fine to include comments when writing attack pieces on blogs...but not if that's all you include as Crofut did and still does...that said..."disciple" is funny...although I haven't finished my yogi or jedi training yet so it's a bit premature).
I give absolutely no credit to Front Page Rag for failing to include a correction which explains the changes.
(thanks to lukery for tipping me off to the change)
