In an ever-shrinking news cycle and political memory to match, I just thought I'd provide a little link to a very controversial book that was being released just before the election, four short years ago.
Anyone remember 'The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty'?
Well, not necessarily, that anyone remembers, since so few people bought the scandal monger's tripe.
Ann will be fine, but NBC would do well to remember how much time it found for Kitty Kelly's controversy.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
"Maybe she's book-pimping, shamelessly seeking exposure for her work, and hoping to make money."Well, you got some attention using her name. "Shamelessly seeking exposure for" your work?"Unlike the rest of us self-righteous types, just enjoying a forum, discussion of the issues and the fellowship of like minds."
"FR exists off the sweat of others' sites, news articles, photoshops and blogs with acknowledgment only to the Big Dogs who can sue JimRob."My goodness, you are all over the place, aren't you?
I guess Jim Robinson better change the purpose of this website on the main page huh?
Let's see...you don't like or appreciate Ann Coulter, Jim Robinson or Free Republic.
Makes one wonder why you came back.
To continue to stir this is to go after a long time Freeper, supporter of JimRob, and supporter of forum etiquette.
Show me where I pimped my blog, other than my standard signature link in my reply post, where I always do. It’s a lie to continue to say I’m pimping, ergo my sarcasm about Ann Coulter seeking publicity for her book. Long may she live to prosper to the consternation of idiot politicians everywhere.
I’m sorry if it cost you a grievous amount of emotional energy to click on my name and see I had a blog. It must have been a terrible shock to an old crank like you. Boy, I fooled you! Man, that was easy!
Ain’t gonna sit in the back of the bus just because I have a blog. I don’t have ads or a tip jar. If folks want to visit and look around and enjoy it, it’s my pleasure whether I get 4 page hits from FR or not.
It’s not like Allahpundit’s stuff doesn’t get robbed from his site daily, with full excerpts and little recognition or ad revenue recompense for supplying FR with content. Ooooohh!! Scary bloggers!! Run!!
Perhaps Matt would like a chance to tangle with Ann Coulter if his Obama-loving bosses would give hium the chance.
No matter. The real point of my post is that you two - Rudder and Syncro, are being abusive. You've completely misrepresented this post, and are purposely disrupting the thread. I saw no evidence of blog-pimping, so that's a lie. I'm not sure what your deal is, but I'm reporting you for abuse.
Sir or Madam, I am in your debt, and I thank you for your efforts to unravel the lies.
Well, you dissed FR and the owner. If you don't see that, look at your posts.
Show me where I pimped my blog, other than my standard signature link in my reply post, where I always do. Its a lie to continue to say Im pimping, ergo my sarcasm about Ann Coulter seeking publicity for her book.
Your "sarcasm" was a bit hateful. Lots of people here don't get Coulter, it's no biggie.
And I never said you were pimping your blog.
In fact, I think you should have put an obvious link to you blog in the article, being as it is in the blog where you mention Coulter.
Speaking of "pimping your blog", it was you that said that Coulter was "book-pimping" and shameless. Kinda snarky. You dished it out, someone threw it back at you. Not me.
If Allahpundit feels he is being "robbed" all he has to do is ask FR to excerpt the content from that site.
I usually excerpt even when it's not mandatory, and take the time to include a link when I post a snippet of an article from a website.
It must have been a terrible shock to an old crank like you.
Old crank, LOL.
There is a thread nanny who hit abuse on me, think he will do so for that little personal attack?
: > )
It’s not a personal attack if it’s the truth. Some people live to be “old cranks”.
Doesn't fit me.
Thanks for piling on.
In ordinal systems the number 20 follows the number 17, and that post was a reply to, and summary of, number 17. If that means to you that post 17 was caused by post 20, then you’ve entered an alternative universe where effect precedes cause.
Kinda a broad brush, including me in with another poster.
You are welcome to show me where I have been abusive, and I will deal with it. Be specific please.
You've completely misrepresented this post
No, my first comment was that the post misrepresented the content, using Coulter's name to get attention, while there was no mention of her in the story at all.
...and are purposely disrupting the thread.
Oh please!
I came on this thread to read something about Ann Coulter, so LOL all over me for thinking the thread had something to do with her.
I made a comment and left and only came back to answer replies to me.
I saw no evidence of blog-pimping, so that's a lie.
And you also saw no evidence of me saying anything like that. I don't talk like that, but the poster who put this thread up does. Did you report her?
So you are calling me a liar for something I did not say.
I'm not sure what your deal is
Well you do now.
I've learned a few things about you actually.
You like it when someone puts "thesmackdown" on someone you don't like.
You accuse people of things they did not do.
You spell "him" with a "u."
You make fun of our President-elect by saying he has big ears.
I'm reporting you for abuse.
It always amuses me when people get all jiggy with the abuse button with false accusations.
I hope it made you feel better, although the mods are pretty busy with important stuff so maybe you should think things through after this before you push it for no real reason.
Hay watch it fella!
This is a logic-free zone.
: > )
BTW, Syncro - the "incorrect spelling" slam is one of the feeblest attacks in the Internet book. I don't even use it on liberals, it's so lame...
Someday I'll try to get my mind right and not offend ignorant bystanders.
You are sooooo sensitive.
The spelling thing wasn't a slam, it was just something I learned about you.
I put it in there for a reason.
I figured you would need something to comment on because I knew you would not comment on anything of substance that I called you on in my post to you.
Own what you do.
Oh, and I don't attack. Counter attack when falsely accused and need to be entertained, yea.
Usually I am just an amused spectator.
You should try it.
They actually did her and her book a huge favor by dissing her.
Of course, you were merely translating Syncro's post (who DID NOT contest with your assessment, though he denies "saying anything like that"), so you have an excuse.
Him - he appears to be an old krank*, and hopeless. :-)
*I misspelled "crank" just for you, Syncro - though it's spelled correctly im Deutsch **grin**
Here is what I posted:
An observation because I came to this post to read about Coulter.Coulters name was put in the title to get readership for this post and the poster's website.Just a vanity using a famous name to get attention.
Which was a liberal tactic to get attention.
You twist words just like Alan Colmes.
I did nothing to apologize for, you and the one who started this thread have. I've already pointed it out earlier.
But you don't take responsibility for what you do, and can't point out anything I did that was in any way abusive.
You continue to blame me for what others said.
I don't see you having a big following on this thread for your false accusations.
Stay away from the crank.
You have missed many elements which play a role in the exchanges on this post, and yet you butt in unhindered by your conspicuous ignorance. Your conclusions, therefore, miss the mark and, thus, are irrelevant.
I didn't ask YOU to apologize, Syncro. You don't appear to be the type.
I figured Rudder might have enough class to "man up" about what he said.
Watching you two squirm is quite amusing, BTW. Not quite as entertaining as Eschoir or billy paul, but it'll do in these current FR days... :-)
