Here's Chris’ take on what he ‘did’ over on FR yesterday, and just how ‘innocent’ he feels he is. I see he's not addressing anything related to the Laura Bush tirade, nor discussing his lies about the admins putting the Malia thread back up - when it was 3 different threads that were being dealt with. He cites lack of ‘intellectual honesty’ here [http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2009/7/12/3517/23956/1471#c1471]
when he won't even deal with the factual errors and plain old opinionation of his hit piece in the Sun. Touche.

[Chris Parry]: So I tried to hit FP for a while this morning and answer their questions. I was interested in finding out how I ‘defamed’ them by reporting factually something they don't deny happened.

Lots of abuse. That's fine. A few honest questions, so I answered those. Then the conspiracy theories began - they aren't even worth dignifying, let alone refuting.

Now, of course, they're saying they'll email everyone at the company I work for, calling me a racist. My bosses don't seem bothered, especially being a traffic today is huge as a result, but if you guys could send on some encouragement to the paper for reporting honestly about stuff that other papers steer clear of, that wouldn't hurt.

Send a Twitter message to http://www.twitter.com/... (so as to not fill his inbox) if you'd like to counteract the ‘kill the messenger’ crowd over at FP.

Oh, by the way, someone who I think is a part of FP’s higher echelon emailed me thanking me for writing the story, saying they need to stop this kind of stuff on their forum and this was just the tonic to correct those mistakes.

That was a nice note to get. Because, really, that's all anyone on either side should want - mistakes fixed.

Chris Parry: “I understand why some reporters steer clear of political stuff. Some take it far too personally, but at the end of the day, nobody over there has been able to tell me what wasn’t correct in my piece.”

Gee Chris, you supposed talking gleefully about bashing in Laura Bush’s skull might qualify? Moron..

nor discussing his lies about the admins

Not sure who the Admins are any more, but having walked in their shoes, let me just say they have a very hard job. The only difference between what this buffoon did and what has been done time and before is that he was dumb enough to brag about it.

The next time you (you in the anonymous 'everyone reading this' sense) see another one of the whispering campaigns around here, which I assume still happen, I hope that they remember that the Admins are conservative volunteers trying to keep things civil and rid this site of racists, trolls, and agents provocateurs.
