Dear Mesta,
If you’re going to accuse someone of “making stupid repetitive mistakes,” which “completely neutralizes any point you were trying to make and makes you look foolish and hypocritical” you should make sure you’re accusing the right person.
Rick Moran was quoting and linking to another article in his American Thinker blog post. The misspellings occurred in the original article in the Weekly Standard.
Should he have made an issue of them in his blog post, and thereby “completely neutralize” the main message regarding Obama, as you have apparently chosen to do?
Apologies to Rick Moran, but the message is the same. To DANIEL HALPER.
Look. Whenever you intend to make a point, and repeat mistakes while doing so, it affects the way people receive the message.
All I am saying is PROOFREADING would save embarrassment and make the point stick. Repeating mistakes, especially in an article about repetitive stupidity, IS embarrassing, and yes, Moran should have corrected it as many others would by simply adding (sic).
Is it too much to ask that our guys don’t make themselves look like fools? Do you think I am the only one who noticed it?
Lord knows I have made enough typos in my lifetime, but to misuse the language this way was not a typo and people who write for public consumption, especially conservatives, should strive to BE a cut above.
PS, if you are intending to mock someone, do NOT give the reader, especially the libs, ammunition to mock YOU.
DO BETTER.
I see this too often and it makes me cringe.
