Why I don’t read many lefty blogs
They lie. Then, they get caught lying. And then:
BEFORE:
“How to Fake News … it can’t be verified … I couldn’t find [Bronx News] thru Google … Bronx News which may or may not exist … the elusive Bronx News …”
AFTER:
“I never said this was fake news nor that the Bronx News didn’t exist. I only said that the drooling, knee-jerking, pathetic, desperate, abusive Kool-aid-drinking twits were engaged in a circle-jerk based on a rinky-dink newspaper’s undersourced report.”
Oh .. okay. That’s very rational and reasoned.
Barbara also resorts to the “cowardice of the stupid and the wrong” — deleting comments. She’s just another Paul at Wizbang, beneath contempt.
Sadly, they seem too happy to do it. In response to Dean lying about the Kelo case, some commentator at Kos:
I’m 100% behind it. Why? Because it resonates, and I’m perfectly willing to go for a false statement that illustrates a truth.
The GOP is the party of Big Business. Big Business (business in general) is who benefitted from the Kelo case.
So, frankly, I say it’s a great line of attack. Screw accuracy — remind people that now big business can take their homes away to make a shopping mall, and that’s A-okay by the GOP.
Lying liars and the lying liars who lie about lying about lying about lying liars. Or fake but accurate. Or something. Rather proves the old saying:
The first thing a man will do for his ideals is lie.

Why I don’t read many lefty blogs…They lie.
So should I assume that you read righty blogs because they tell the truth? And the best that you can do is to link to a 2nd tier blogger and a commenter at Kos?
For the record, I only can find the “Before” quote and not the “After” quote on mahablogs entry though the comments do make some reference to “circle-jerk”.
With regards to the Dean comment, it isn’t technically correct in sofar as it can’t be called “George Bush’s Supreme Court”, but the fact of the matter is that the Texas Rangers took advantage of eminment domain to build their stadium under Bush and 7 of 9 judges are Republican appointees. The people who call the Supreme Court liberal are the same people who would call John McCain or Arlen Specter liberal. They might be more liberal than you are, but they aren’t liberal by any means looking at the entire spectrum. They may have certain issues where their positions are more liberal than conservative, but at the end of the day they are more conservative than liberal. And quite frankly, its about time that the whole “activist judges”, and “liberal courts” meme got sent to the trash heap.

And it’s not like any prominent lefty bloggers are peddling the lie, right?

Right on.
Except, who are they calling Kool-Aid drinkers? Hello? That is a reference to the radical chic AND Jonestown, which was heartily endorsed by Jane “Always In The Thick Of It” Fonda

I read this same comment and I actually burst out laughing.
This has nothing to do with being a “lefty” — it has to do with being a giant idiot.

SU..when I go to technorati, I see 7 distinct blog postings about this, with 4 from conservatives (talking about the scandal), 2 from liberals and a cross-posting by Maha at the American Street. Of the 2 from liberal blogs, there is one I’ve never heard of and Pandagon. And there is no evidence to suggest that Pandagon knew that the Bronx News existed and linked to it anyway.
It should be noted that the Commisar googled on “michael horowitz bronx news” while Maha presumably only googled for “bronx news”.

While reading those comments, I suddenly realized why Hitler was successful – there are people who will follow big lies. Even if they know they are lies. That’s sick.

I think you are confusing blogger attention-deficit order, with lying. How many right-wing bloggers confessed to falling for a blatant intelligence plant? like Cheney’s aluminum tubes for instance?
I wasn’t reading this site at the time – but I have to assume not many.
When people are wrong, they lose interest and look at some other shiny thing. And sometimes being wrong has pretty serious consequences.

Manish said, With regards to the Dean comment, it isn’t technically correct in sofar as it can’t be called “George Bush’s Supreme Court”…
Then explain how it is “George Bush’s Supreme Court”. How is that “technically correct”?
…7 of 9 judges are Republican appointees.
So?
The people who call the Supreme Court liberal are the same people who would call John McCain or Arlen Specter liberal. They might be more liberal than you are, but they aren’t liberal by any means looking at the entire spectrum.
They might be more conservative than you are, but they aren’t conservative looking at the entire spectrum.
They may have certain issues where their positions are more liberal than conservative, but at the end of the day they are more conservative than liberal.

Yeah…because those labels are too honest. We must ignore the fact that there are judges making law instead of merely upholding it and we must turn a blind eye to liberal courts such as the 9th Circus Court.
You’re exactly what this post was talking about Manish: you are a dishonest partisan hack.
