Kitt Just Can't or Won't be Honest
[Read the article: Sen. Reid's crime]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Kitt the liar:
Your 'challenge' is beside the point of this conversation. You made the ridiculous statement that people posting on this site are waiting for Glenn to endorse before we will 'sheep along' and endorse. That's exactly what you said, and that is bullshit. ...
I wrote that it looks like no one here will take a stand on a candidate until Glenn does. i am still saying it looks that way.
It looks that way to me; so, prove me wrong and name a name; toady.

Kitt Continues to Sink, now whines
[Read the article: Sen. Reid's crime]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]b1: "You are a simpleton, moron, liar, kidder, or some combination thereof."
Kitt whines back: I think it's time for you to leave. You are incapable of telling the truth, and you are verbally abusing me because I've told you so.
Hell kid, you are not going to play the whine card after you started calling names! Have you not noticed that I am copping you on most posts to you?
Look at the header, it is just your with a name change. You are a toady, a liar, an idiot, and a whiner.
Shame on you for taking up for LBJ!

Kitt's Losing Game
[Read the article: Sen. Reid's crime]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Speaking of 'backing your words': You've called me a liar now multiple times. I have yet to read where you gave an example of a lie that I am supposed to have posted.
When you type --- you lie.
More to the point, you have for weeks mischaracterized my statements, aggressively misread, made up motives, and made up thoughts.
You hide behind character assassination and lie continuously.
I wrote that it damn well looked as if you and others hear were afraid to name a candidate. That is me saying what it looks like to me after all the shit you typed about my favorite candidate.
Will you name one? No. You claim you could. Is it too early? (Glenn still not on record?)
By the way, I work with almost one hundred good progressives and show this to a few friends. They can not believe that the Democratic Party contains folks like a few here. (note: I wrote "a few")

You Really should Knock it Off, Kitt
[Read the article: Sen. Reid's crime]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Kitt whines: What's with this new word of yours? Toady? Arguing with you is becoming a very not-funny joke.
Yes, you started an argument with an old guy that has seen your type for decades. I do not find it "fun" at all to show you what you do to others, but if not me --- who? (sorry LaL if you are reading this)
You are part of an attack group that looks to instill party purity here, but some of us are individuals and will not toe a party line; nor rewrite history for a party.
I'll hit the god damn Republicans here also if one wants to claim Nixon was just a good guy who was trapped into his actions in the Nam war.
I also will not listen to punks who do not know the meaning of "if". You read your own fears into my words and then attacked.
Kitt backs out here ---> I have a candidate in mind but, frankly, Bucky, why would I want to share it with the likes of you? Someone who has now taken to dumping unfounded insults on me at every post?
Share it with the world here. Share it with your buddies. Be a man and be for someone.
Besides, you shared all your hatred and vileness, why not your candidate?
I know it is hard, look at the abuse heaped on the one guy willing to name a name. But, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. (I wish some politician would say that)

Right-Winger Sues Blogger And Wins
[Read the article: The NYT on the administration's "debate" over whether to attack Iran]

Lee Kaplan writes at David Horowitz's far-right, anti-Muslim FrontPageMag.com. A college student set up the blog Lee Kaplan Watch to expose what the guy is writing. He was sued by Kaplan in small claims court for "business interference," and Kaplan won $7500. because it was small claims court the judge was not required to explain his decision.
The blogger writes,
I hope that sufficient attention is paid to the great danger that what has happened to me poses to all of us. It is by all means a serious issue. My first amendment rights have been subverted with support from the courts, which only shows that everybody is in danger of facing these abusive small claims court defamation suits. My speech has been punished by a ruling with no opinion explaining why or advising me what not to do in the future. My credibility has been tarnished by a trial with incredibly low standards for admissible evidence and a messy, inconsistent court procedure. And, for me, worst of all: I will never know what element of Kaplan's claim, if any, the judge agreed with, though Kaplan will certainly continue to claim that all of them were accepted, though he knows well that this is not the case.
This is a freedom of speech and right-to-blog issue. We must do something to reverse this because it will become a convenient way for right-wingers to harass all of us.
