-snip- *****Update II: Maybe before Shuster goes any further with this, he might want to investigate the Vancouver Sun writer's possible connection to Daily Kos (h/t NBer carolina09).
"HollywoodOz" has written some pretty vile stuff at DailyKos during his tenure. These included playing a mnemonics game wherein "BUSH" was "Bloody Useless Sack Of Hatred" and CHENEY was "Can He Eat Negro Eyes Yet."
He's also fond of creating Google bombs, including one in 2005 to make Bill O'Reilly look like a terrorist sympathizer.
What's the connection to the Sun's Chris Parry? Well, Moxie Online has a member named HollywoodOz, real name Chris Parry. Technorati also shows HollywoodOz as Chris Parry.
Beyond this, a man simply calling himself Oz runs a blog called Notes From the Nat which follows baseball, in particular the Vancouver Canadians. In 2006, a fan sent in an e-mail message wherein Oz was referred to as "the wizard of HollywoodOz, Chris Parry."
Finally, DKos's HollywoodOz often cites Vancouver newspapers and other Canadian media as he did here, here, and here.
Is this all a coincidence?
Maybe, but as you might imagine, the Freepers are up in arms about this revelation.
Will MSNBC and Shuster investigate any of this before they go ahead with this planned report?
Stay tuned.

Thanks for all the hard work you did in drawing together the facts for everyone!
Just out of curiosity, I wonder if Jim Robinson is worried about defending himself against this slander, or whether he is uniquely poised to go on the offensive if the enemy pursues this course?
I was getting ready to make good on a bet by donating $50.00 to FR... should I wait for a separate donation opportunity intended for legal attack? (I wouldn’t want to donate unless the intent is to legally strike back)
Someone please tell me Mr. Robinson intends to come back firing with both barrels... Howitzer barrels preferred.
Perhaps shifting attention away from Obama Taking a Peek photos that went Round the world. (sent from iPhone so a test)
Bawhahhaha....Skeered?....OOOOO.. There’s a snake in my boot!! Love that line from Woody in the movie Toy Story!
Can somebody link me to the offending thread?
We’ve got to watch for new D-bags joinging FR to post some trash and then put links to it on a Lefty blog, like the Daily Skuz or the BluffingtonPist, where they’ll write a screed about it.
Then, when it gets pulled, and the Mods do a great job of policing the site, the scumbags will turn around and say, “See! They pulled it down because I outted them!”
It’s an old trick, but with this braindead media we have, they’ll blindly repeat anything trashing FR - that “extremely conservative blog” - regardless of its nonexistent veracity.
This is what, the second day in a row that MSNBC is trashing us?
Note how they never print any of the vile vomit posted on the DU, or the Skuz.
Can’t we sue them for slander?
Thanks, Jet Jaguar.
MSNBC needs the ratings...they haven’t got anything else.
Would there be anything wrong with imposing a 7-10 day moratorium on allowing a new signup to post an article?
Would it help?
About as well as waiting periods for guns work.
It was pulled when FReepers hit the abuse button because of the comments! So...this is really a non-story....but PMSNBC will make it into one....
Hey does anybody remember him doing a report on the KosKids assaulting Palins children?
It IS a good indicator, and something more FReepers should look out for, when a new signup posts a potentially racist trolling article.
Folks should post a large bold warning on it and then hit abuse.
OK, thanks.
Here is what we aren’t getting some of these posters have been here awhile. We have to come to terms that not everything bad posted is a devious evil liberal troll plot. We simply have some idiots.
