OW, it happens every time I cut and paste any content that has a slanted apostrophe or quote marks. If I remember to replace them with straight characters, this doesn’t happen.

Whoops! Almost broke his rule!

Dang… that’s gonna make it difficult.

Newsweek’s lies could fill up volumes. Let’s start with the “Koran in the toilet” farce, then move on to their photos from the Lebanon conflict…

What are the tennets of the Laffer curve?
Is Rush a racist asshole?
Did Snopes lie about Newsweek, or did Newsweek lie about Rush?

Dennis the Bigot: “‘Journalistic blogging standards for thee, but not for me.’”

How’s this for a rule… Don’t quote known idiots.

“Here’s an opinion column from a right-winger who has written critically of Obama in the past, so he’s a lying hack. I urge you to read the whole thing, because I like people who criticize Obama, too. That makes me a lying hack, too. Just remember that it’s an opinion column, not news, and it’s from someone who’s spoken critically of Obama before, so it’s full of lies and half-truths and right-winger talking points by someone who ought to be burned at the stake.”

I’m with you on how unshocking insty’s link is. I’m pretty sure you could find hundreds, if not thousands, of links more full of wrong than this one; it’s just a crummy opinion piece, there’s not even a connection to white supremacy or right-wing militias or advocation of torture and murder or a picture of Mickey Kaus. Maybe that last one should be under torture..

Which is clearly opinion. Must have been an oversight on your ironclad rules.

Before you start throwing out charges of being a dishonest hack, maybe you should stop being one yourself.

Hey Dennis, I’ve notice your post are getting cruder and angrier. Is there a problem, old boy?

Are you claiming that the Saudi’s bought W but he didn’t stay bought? Got any evidence for that?

You mean if a right-wing critic of Obama mistook it for news.

Heh. Indeed. That is central to Oliver’s point.

I have no way of knowing if your claim here is correct, as you’ve mentioned my profession on numerous occasions and you are a known liar.

However, your posts was, at best, grammatically incorrect.

“It’s one left-winger in Oliver pointing to another left-winger and former movie critic as a voice of reason and not some partisan hack.”

One left-winger in Oliver?

Forgive me if I read that and didn’t fully understand what you were talking about.

Dennis the Bigot: “Strwobridge”

Do you have a medical condition that prevents you from typing my name?

I don’t buy it amigo, never have. I think they print about a million words a day, try to get it right and sometimes blow it. How do you explain the war cheerleading?

But you see, Parthy, at the New York Times where Frank Rich is a columnist, liberal opinion pieces are posted on the front pages as news stories every day. Have been for years and years.

This is fact.

As a movie critic yourself, you didn’t even know that Frank Rich was a movie critic, yet you pretend to be an expert on the guy. This is quite typical of you and your hackery.

You are in no position to say who is the greater hack between Goodwin and Rich.

I’d say a particular political ideology in America has a habit of reading opinion pieces as if they were front page fact, but that’d be unnecessarily provocative.

Frank Rich was the movie critic I referred to, not you, you dolt.

And he’s no less the hack than Goodwin. Nevertheless, there isn’t one iota of difference between Oliver’s Frank Rich post and Glenn Reynolds’ Michael Goodwin post. Certainly nothing of a difference to merit a likening of Reynolds to feces without placing his in the same category.
