The Insanity Continues:

Don't Hire Dr. Deborah Frisch

A big thank you goes out to Ace for the link.

Welcome to our little corner of the Deb-o-sphere Ace of Spades readers!

Quote: Dr. Frisch:

I don't really understand all the comments or what the fight between qrstv and the others is about. Even I am confused at this point.

I did not mean to be stalking or mean to sg in this post. I was trying to conjure up good feelings toward him. I asked JG's lawyer to write up an agreement whereby I would be financially compensated in exchange for agreeing to leave the o-less count and the progeny out of it from now on. I am well within my legal rights to mock the entire cockula family, as long as I do not physically threaten them. Since I've never threatened them yet, this seems very doable.

If Jeff wants it to be just between word warrior and count cockula from now on, he gonna have to make it worth my while to suppress my contempt, rage and disgust for his unhonorable behavior (auntie moonbat comment, allowing wingnuts like phucking phroggy to incite losers to email my boss on a saturday).

if the count is honorable, he will take steps to encourage me to leave the rest of the cockulas out of it from now on.

if i were more honorable, i'd just leave the other cockulas out of it without any compensation from JG. But given his dishonorable conduct vis a vis the saliva quote and inciting the wingnuts by going along with the ruse i'd threatened the tyke, i don't feel like giving him the cunt or satchel for free.

but it appears that hot chix totally do not think it is kul at all to drag the kid in. hunew.

so i need to unilaterally disarm myself of satchel/snatchel jokes from now on.

For the record: I made up a snatchel joke (good thing Mr. and Mrs. Cockula didn't have a girl! They would have named her snatchel!) and emailed it to JG privately after he rebuffed a half dozen email attempts to negotiate a financial agreement or be put in contact with his legal counsel.

JG took the snatchel joke in the email i sent and posted it on lipid stupidity. that's how much he cares about his tyke's well-being once he gets on the web. what a sicko daddyo.

jeff didn't delete the original ramsey comments, opting instead to use it as part of a telethon. that's how much he cares about his tyke's well-being. any other daddyo would have just deleted the nasty ramsey joke. what a sicko daddyo.

no mo talking bout the tyke. good luck, hombre. you are going to need it.

the count and count w/o O are more than fair game.

This is as good a wrap up of Dr. Deb's thinking as any I have seen. You see, she didn't do anything wrong and is still not doing anything wrong. Whereas, Jeff has caused her great harm...

New Frisch-bit, sent to me by a tipster!

Tips, tips and more tips! Thanks to all that have alerted me to this:

You know, when the crazy starts, it is really hard to stop. Dr. Deb doesn't even try. After noting the serving of a Restraining Order here and here, she continues to make posts not only mentioning Jeff directly, but using the nicknames she has given him in a later post, here.

Someone got through that thick PhD...

Now that Mr. G has informed me via Paul Davis, Esquire that he has no intention of offering my any financial compensation for my misadventure at lipid stupidity, I am going to go back to the state I was in 4 weeks ago where I paid no attention whatsoever to the colorado cockula clan. No, not arizona, but a state of complete indifference to JG, etc.

So, Dr. Deb, you are going to start living by the RO now, that's nice.

It would be much nicer if you could have done it with grace and style instead of fumbling and excuses.

Maybe its just me...

I said before that it was not a good idea to mess with a Navy Seal:

I realized yesterday that my rage and fury is only partially directed at JG, especially for pretending I said the auntie moonbat saliva quote that he made up. The real villain in this story is Matthew Heidt, a former Navy Seal and loser who calls himself froggy in the blogosphere.

He wisely abandoned this pathetic excuse for a blog but then joined Blackfive. He propagated the lie that I'd threatened Mr.G's tyke. He posted my boss's email at AZ. The mofo posted my home address in Tucson for a few hours, until I convinced ace of spades to tell the pissant to delete it.

Mr. Heidt behaved atrociously in this situation. He makes a mockery of the Navy Seals. He's a joke - by far, the most unethical and least honorable of all the combatants in this skirmish.

ephu beaucoup, phroggy.

(Bold mine)

The most unethical and least honorable of all the combatants in this skirmish, except of course Dr. Deb.

Allah has a point that I would like to repeat.

Stop commenting, visiting and otherwise stroking Dr. Deb's ego.

More Racism From The Left

It appears that Democratic racism has spanned the nation from coast to coast. After a Ned Lamont campaign volunteer* posted a blackface picture of Joe Lieberman at the Huffington Post, the leader of the California state senate referred to conservatives demanding an end to illegal immigrations with a racial slur:  “No. Let's face it. Immigration is a red-meat issue,” Perata said. “You've got all these crackers..." Posted by Captain Ed at 05:48 PM | Comments (18)  Excerpted and linked at Old War Dogs. You've got to love the "tolerant" Left. Tolerance, free speech, etc - only afforded to those that agree with them. Can I be a honky instead of a cracker?

More "Accurate but fake" News:

Christina Lawand: Busted

Stephen Taylor has caught CBC reporter Christina Lawand playing fast and loose with context in a transparent attempt to damage PM Harper. Stephen has exposed her segment for the blatant misrepresentation that it is - by simply providing the full question and answer session her "soundbites" were extracted from.

It's a video that deserves to be distributed far and wide.

One of the things that makes the blogsophere so valuable is the ability to share open-source intelligence, trade specialized knowledge, and toss and test theories out loud (the democratizing process that WaPo photo editor Joe Elbert criticized as "confounding").

 '#15 has the perfect campaign slogan for your tip jar: "Fear the Football!"'

You’ve probably heard the news by now. But here is a nice summation from Israel’s Ynet News:

Reuters admits altering Beirut photo

Reuters withdraws photograph of Beirut after Air Force attack after US blogs, photographers point out ‘blatant evidence of manipulation.’ Reuters’ head of PR says in response, ‘Reuters has suspended photographer until investigations are completed into changes made to photograph.’ Photographer who sent altered image is same Reuters photographer behind many of images from Qana, which have also been subject of suspicions for being staged Yaakov Lappin...Earlier, Charles Johnson, of the Little Green Footballs blog , which has exposed a previous attempt at fraud by a major American news corporation, wrote : "This Reuters photograph shows blatant evidence of manipulation...

Kudos to LGF for spotting the photoshopping. And to the Freepers who helped demonstrate the fakery. Ace o' Spades, Hot Air, and Left & Right get honorable mentions as well. JPod at the Corner also notes Charles' takedown of Reuters.

Welcome to newcomers.

I first became aware of the blogosphere, and started to read, during the first great expose of media fraud in which Charles' was a lead playeer- Rathergate. Since then, I have found it an extremely valuable tool for researching current events.

The advantage of the blogosophere is that it enables the quick and cheap dissemination of both the wisdom of crowds and of specialists. If permits people to read, as well as see images, and if you take the time, you can follow an issue through dozens of articles linking to each other, some of then by exceptionally informed or perspective observers.

One disadvantage of blogs is that some people may use it to soak only in their own ideological bathwater - merely read what they want to see and give each other ideological high fives, rather than always trying to find where the real truth lies. LGF does not have a lot of trolls - persons outside the philosophical consensus - and that contributes to the coherence of discussion. Sometimes facile or extremist views are not adequately challenged, by the overall balance of insight and expertise in the aggregated posts is impressive.

Another disadvantage is market fragmentation.
A blog with a great insight may have little influence on its own, because there are so many out there. Even mainstream media, with only four or five major newstations, have something of this problem. Blog stories have an impact when there is a chain reaction - the merit or interest of the story lead it to be picked up by numerous other blogs. Unless, however, the story breaks into mainstream media (MSM) its influence is still limited.

The MSM will for the foreseeable future have advantages the blogosphere does not. Foreign Ministers usually appear on them, even if (ro because?) the interviewer is as ill informed, lazy and sycophantic as Larry King. Also, they tend to have larger and more dispersed audiences.

Rathergate did break into the mainstream. The real scandal was not merely the original reliance on the forged document, but CBS' stubborn and prologned delay in acknowledging effor.

A real test for the conscience and credibility of the mainstream media now is whether they give major coverage to the repeated media hoaxes of jihad forces - with Qana now added to Jennin. There was a sad loss of innocent lifein Qana, but the exxageration and sensationalization of it by Jihadists and then the mainstream media has had a terrible impact on the conduct of this war. There are now dead civilians and soliders on the Israeli side because the public relations disaster that was Qana forced Israel to proceed more slowly and to use more ground forces. This has not necessarily spared innocent civilians in Lebanon suffering either - it may have prolonged it.

There is a simple story here that is not getting out. Hezbollah is a facist and genocidal force that aims to kill as many Jews as possible. All of its attacks are aimed at civilians, and intended to kill as many Jews among Israeli citizens as possible.
Israel is a democracy never targets civilians and does its best to limit collateral injury and loss of life.

Lest anyone think I use the word "genocidal" loosely, here is a story I found through blospheric research, by Michael Rubin at National Review online:

"On October 22, 2002, Hassan Nasrallah told Lebanon’s Daily Star, “If they [the Jews] all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them world wide.”

Or recall that Hezbollah apologized for killing Arabs, rather than Jews, in one of his missile attacks.

Yes, it is 1938 again, and I say that with genuine fear and horror. Instead of identifying Hezbollah and Iran as the openly genocidal and evil forces they are, an ignorance and frequently anti-American, Anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic media keeps pounding on a small and decent society fighting for survival. Maybe this latest media fraud will open the eyes of some people of conscience.

Thanks for your brave and intelligent effort on this issue, Charles.

  Moonbat Rant of the Day

Over at Fark.com, a lot of the kids think Dan Rather and Mary Mapes were telling the truth, LGF is a tool of the Worldwide Zionist Conspiracy, and there’s no problem with Adnan Hajj’s photographs: Reuters’ Lebanese photographer: ‘denied deliberately attempting to manipulate the image, saying that he was trying to remove dust marks’.

My favorite inarticulate rant, in response to a sarcastic post from an anti-idiotarian:

Quote: It reminds me of how LGF tried to smear the honorable Dan Rather by saying his Bush NG memo was a forgery.

I know, that was a shame, especially since how a thorough debunking of the points raised by CBS critics of just how the memoes were faked, including having tracked down typewriters from that era or earlier capable of producing the exact text typed, and given that the secretary who was supposed to have typed the memo said that the contents of the memo were accurate, and that the people who originally put forth the “fake” claim (such as Little Green Footballs and Free Republic) always consider the U.S., the Armed Forces, and the Fearless Leader God-Emperor George W. Bush framed by default (including FAKE Haditha and FAKE AWOL), I’m surprised the Jew-hating mainstream media hasn’t reported on that more thoroughly. It’s almost as if they were sensationalist instead of biased. Because as we all know, unverified is the same thing as fake. Look it up in your thesaurus if you don’t believe me.

The fact that these unverified documents subsequently but a stop to all questions of Bush’ service record is totally coincidental, even though the memos, fake or not, were repeatedly confirmed to contain accurate information, is merely a convenience. It is much in the same way that most people no longer believe in prehistoric “cavemen” (what a stupid notion!) because of the Piltdown Man.

(Unsurprisingly, and identically to the Killian Documents, all somebody has to do to make the fake image match the “real” image is manipulate it in photoshop — just as they took the image of the Killian documents and manipulated it in photoshop to make it look like it was written in Notepad. Wow, so even though it matches DEAD ON to ANOTHER photo, it must be from this panorama, and all we have to do is MANIPULATE IT IN PHOTOSHOP LIKE THE DAN RATHER CONTROVERSY TO MAKE IT WORK! OBVIOUS TRUTH! PHOTOSHOP NEVER LIES EXCEPT WHEN LEBANESE PHOTOGRAPHERS USE IT!)

Mark Levin's interview of LGF’s Charles Johnson
Mark Levin Fan site ^ | August 7, 2006 | contributor

Posted on 08/08/2006 5:13:07 AM EDT by Sergeant Tim

For all those having trouble logging onto Little Green Footballs to read about the latest photo fudge and double-fudges by Reuters photographers, Mark Levin led off his show last night by discussing with Charles Johnson how the original story broke.

In addition, they spoke about the Reuters photos of the lady in Lebanon whose house was totally destroyed twice in 15 days by Israeli air strikes and another Lebanese lady who Reuters photographed and reported as having lost two husbands in 17 days. Mark also asked him about the recent threats Johnson received from a Reuters employee.
