It could have been doctored, but the names of the posters with the most offensive posts are all real freeper names and are all still around. Some are newer, but none of them seem to be plants from my cursory review. And the most offensive posts come all from one person who is participating quite heavily in this very thread.

Ok. You are a troll who has posted this to disrupt a thread investigating the wrongdoing of a journalist. Your motivations are to muddy the waters and run interference for the KOS blog. You made unsubstantiated accusations to delegitimize this thread and provide material support for a corrupt Alinsky style operation. You directed the DU, KOS, and HufPost blogs to a screen captured image of the pulled thread. When challenged you deny any wrong doing and fell back on your feelings. This too is very Alinsky and typical of a sleeper.

You have not yet defended nor clarified you initial post to this thread. When called out, rather than identifying who the offending poster was (you could not. That was not the reason for your post) you obfuscated trying to turn the arguments around against those that caught you. That too is Alinsky, but you are very poor at it.

The fact is that the reporter didn't do much of what he's being accused of on this thread. And the posters on the original thread aren't all "newbies" (as has been asserted time and again on this thread). So I'm not hijacking it. I'm simply correcting the record.

Manc participated in the thread pretty heavily and threw plenty of gasoline on the fire. They are on this thread with some regularity. Is that good enough for you? Of course not. You're clinging to some outdated picture of the world where there's only good guys and bad guys. And in reality, some great people have flaws and some bad people have redeeming qualities.

And no one has a de facto monopoly on truth. As for being a poor Alinskyite, I would hope that I would be so. As for being a logician, you are very poor at it.
