		<description>And I apologize for implying you were bashing the troops.  I know you don&#039;t and weren&#039;t, but the original statement you made could easily be interpreted by anyone to mean that you were.  It would be &#039;factual&#039; to take what you wrote and plaster it up on another website and claim that you were knocking the troops, or, in another tactic employed frequently by liberal fact-checking blogs, put your quote up with a headline like &#039;&lt;i&gt;Was Oliver Willis bashing Iraq War troops&lt;/i&gt;?&#039; like you and many other blogs just did with the Clarence Thomas &#039;sleeping&#039; picture.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The blogger Seixon sends details of his own battle with moonbat privacy invaders who have harassed his family…
No factual error here, right wing whining about TP checking RW claims (again).&lt;/i&gt;

By calling his house and speaking with his relatives???
This you condone and call the offended person a whiner???

Actually, I did think you would check.  And I also thought the resulting one or two sentence sluff-off dismissals would be the result, so why bother.  A useless and futile exercise for both of us.  Their view of the world and the tactics they use to indict conservatives and conservatism repulses me.  You obviously think they are beyond reproach.  No mystery there.  But to say &#039;no errors of facts&#039; when they abuse the &#039;facts&#039; they cite is nonsense.  It&#039;s shoddy reporting from neophyte journalists who posses an obsessive desire to criticize conservatives- my original thesis.</description>

		<description>Apologies for your post not appearing, the multiple links red flagged it as spam and it never showed up in my moderation queue. As I&#039;ve noted before, I don&#039;t remove stuff that isn&#039;t illegal, obscene or an unwarranted personal attack. If you see a post like this now show up, just email me.

&lt;em&gt;Think Progress Takes Climate Alarmism to Absurd Degrees&lt;/em&gt;
Right wing bitching about TP sussing out the absurd RW push behind the weather channel cofounder who has no science background to his anti-science global warming nonsense.

&lt;em&gt;The blogger Seixon sends details of his own battle with moonbat privacy invaders who have harassed his family…&lt;/em&gt;
No factual error here, right wing whining about TP checking RW claims (again).

&lt;em&gt;Olbermann [And Think Progress, but I repeat myself] Falsely Accuses Palin of Cutting Special Olympics Funds&lt;/em&gt;
Palin cut the Special Olympics request. No factual error there.

&lt;em&gt;Think Progress Screws Up Again&lt;/em&gt;
This was your initial complaint. As I noted, TP corrected their error.

&lt;em&gt;Think Progress Libels Us&lt;/em&gt;
No error. National Center is in part propped up by the oil industry.

&lt;em&gt;Think Progress Offers Shoddy Research (Again)&lt;/em&gt;
The claim is that scientific consensus isn&#039;t in favor of global warming. Except it is.

&lt;em&gt;Think Progress Misrepresents Phone Call Between Brothers as &quot;Chemical Weapons&quot; Evidence&lt;/em&gt;
The distinction here is between what is and isn&#039;t a chemical weapon. The writer asusmes that if the NYT says it a liberal must agree with it. Nonsense.

&lt;em&gt;Think Propaganda&lt;/em&gt;
Mark Kolydys attacks TP for actually reporting what Fox news said. Yawn.

&lt;em&gt;Think Pilferage&lt;/em&gt;
Now Kolydys claims his taping of a copyrighted show is copyrighted. Or something. Please.

&lt;em&gt;Extra! Stop the Presses! Think Progress Lies About McCain&lt;/em&gt;
Yet again TP accurately quotes someone, and the right is enraged. Conservative James Joyner &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/mccain-on-gas-prices-i-dont-see-how-it-matters/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;conceded that&lt;/a&gt; McCain answered the question badly.

I should note at this point that your citations go rapidly downhill as you begin citing Gateway Pundit, which even in the world of con blogs is beyond sloppy. Was Pam Gellar busy?

&lt;em&gt;Bummer... Leftwing Blog Loses Readership After Being Exposed&lt;/em&gt;
This is whining about traffic stats. Nothing (again) about factual errors. Ironically its arguing that MM and Think Progress don&#039;t matter. 

&lt;em&gt;Loony Left Blog &quot;Think Progress&#039;&#039; Makes Terrible A$$ of Themselves&lt;/em&gt;
Again no factual error documented. 

&lt;em&gt;Think Progress Smears Jenna Bush&lt;/em&gt;
No factual errors, though TP&#039;s readers found the entry too fluffy.

&lt;em&gt;Think Progress hugs the tar baby&lt;/em&gt;
At best TP made an error about people being fired for using the phrase. They corrected this. The larger point did not change.

All in all, a pretty lame list of things. These are conservative disagreements largely, not errors of facts. This is what you guys don&#039;t seem to get. Facts matter. Its why the emotional whining of groups like MRC aren&#039;t taken seriously. Furthermore, this list of yours sort of fulfills my original thesis. You didn&#039;t think anybody would actually check. But we did.

WE CHECKED!</description>

Bring us something which is not mock-worthy then. 

Still waiting for the &quot;tenets of the Laffer Curve&quot;, also.</description>

So that&#039;s all you wanted to do was to mock?  That&#039;s why you begged like a little puppy terrier for it?  

If you want it so bad, why don&#039;t ask Oliver to release it or perhaps have him email it to you.</description>

		<description>I still haven&#039;t learned what the &quot;tenets of the Laffer Curve&quot; are. Or even how many there are. Or which ones I&#039;m supposed to agree with. Why haven&#039;t you bothered to tell me about those, anyway? We&#039;ll start with how many:

Dennis, how many &quot;tenets of the Laffer Curve&quot; are there? 

Why is that so hard?</description>

		<description>Takin&#039; flak from multiple fronts, QIB.  Much of it nonsense, but you&#039;re right, B/P must be up a little.  Seriously, I&#039;ve a lot of trouble posting links here well before this, and that truthfully is why I don&#039;t go to the trouble of providing them when goaded into doing so, especially when the goader is not interested in learning anything, like is he case with Mister ed.</description>

		<description>Oliver- I&#039;ve made five attempts to post 15 links of Think Progress fuck-ups, of which barely scratches the surface, but nevertheless have not gone through.  Either you are blocking them or your blog does not allow for multiple links.  If you want to chide me for not having the brains to put them in proper format and then block me when I do, then that&#039;s pretty bad.</description>

Think Progress&#039; are well-documented and easily accessible for everyone here to see for themselves.  Oliver knows how to access these, and I&#039;m sure for someone who scours conservative sites daily he&#039;s well in tune with Think Progress&#039; reputation for shoddy reporting and neophyte analysts, but instead claims the site has only made one mistake that they quickly apologized for.  I&#039;m the dumb one for my frustration in not carefully cutting and pasting links in HTML to a small-box window at another blog, but everyone here who thinks they are enlightened begs and chides me for information that a simple google search quickly provides.
-----------



@Mister ed-   Dude, seriously, you need a new drug.  How could I have ever predicted that you would counter anything I posted about a Think Progress fuck-up?  You begged for it, anything, five times, like a little puppy dog expecting a treat.  Life&#039;s much too short.  My only point is that TP is not the beacon of light and truth you and OW claim it to be.

<p>Think Progress&#8217; are well-documented and easily accessible for everyone here to see for themselves.  Oliver knows how to access these, and I&#8217;m sure for someone who scours conservative sites daily he&#8217;s well in tune with Think Progress&#8217; reputation for shoddy reporting and neophyte analysts, but instead claims the site has only made one mistake that they quickly apologized for.  I&#8217;m the dumb one for my frustration in not carefully cutting and pasting links in HTML to a small-box window at another blog, but everyone here who thinks they are enlightened begs and chides me for information that a simple google search quickly provides.<br />

<p>@Mister ed-   Dude, seriously, you need a new drug.  How could I have ever predicted that you would counter anything I posted about a Think Progress fuck-up?  You begged for it, anything, five times, like a little puppy dog expecting a treat.  Life&#8217;s much too short.  My only point is that TP is not the beacon of light and truth you and OW claim it to be.<br />
If you want to believe it is, I guess there is nothing that will convince you otherwise.</p>

		<description>OK, time to tally up. Dennis attempts to produce 5 links, but only 3 actually work. Of those three, one is bogus accounting bulljive, another is a correction (uncorrected by the accuser, it ought to be noted), and the last one is simply not true, as Enlightened Liberal points out. The other two non-working links appear to be non-Science based Global Warming denial and &quot;moonbat&quot; slurs. That it? That&#039;s all you got? Wow, you really are the Party of Palin. 

But back to the poker analogy. I had a Full Boat. Dennis has the equivalent of a suited Ace, King, Queen, Ten, and Nine. Which means, naturally, that he was a....

...anyone?...

...it should be obvious...

...Dennis was a Jack off! 

(That was for the comic effect, of course. Dennis really had the equivalent of Jack Shit.)</description>

		<description>Simply put, the Right spews rhetoric with no backup.

Later, they cite sites that cite sites that cite sites. That was almost a tongue twister! Nne of which really &quot;suppors&quot; their original &quot;facts&quot;.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Of course, given your history of attributing everything said by anyone from the left to George Soros and Markos Moulitsas, your feigned outrage is inappropriate.&lt;/i&gt;

My feigned outrage is inappropriate.  Oooh-kay.  I&#039;m not someone who wastes much time on what Soros or Kos has to say so I think you have the wrong person, but I&#039;m not all outraged.  I just disagree with the notion that TP only deals in verifiable facts and has only made one mistake, as claimed by the blog-OWner here.  Of course, now that has also been amended/clarified to be &#039;when they do make mistakes, they own up to it&#039;.</description>

		<description>&quot;According to Left-Wing bloggers, ‘Obscure right-wing blogger Patterico’ got an advance copy to ‘Path to 9/11′.&quot;

Wow, you&#039;ve really got them there, Dennis.  It was actually someone who was a blogger under Patterico&#039;s site, not THE Patterico, who posted this screed.  Of course if someone actually followed the link on TP&#039;s article, they could find his name because its right on top of the article.

		<description>So... your big evidence is 2-4 links, most of them not working? (A genius such as yourself ought to know how to do something as simple as &lt;a href=&quot;http://mobilefascination.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/duh-bush-784283.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;an html link&lt;/a&gt;). In one of the links you cite, TP was citing two other sources of information - and this is key to what we were discussing originally - they posted an update to it. For groups like TP and in my first hand experience at Media Matters, when we make a mistake that is verifiable by actual data and not the ramblings of the right wing fringe... we make a correction. This can&#039;t be said of the right. But then they start of from a basis of make-believe, so a correction of any sort is kinda moot.</description>
