Why am I reminded of Eric Bogosian all of a sudden?

Yeah, thats it !! The right wingers made me buy extra insurance the day after my car wreck.

Well, y'know ... it really is unfair of the insurance companies to deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions.

Wait a minute! Webb’s been partners with this friend for 15 years! The friend does his Web site. And the friend never bothered to go to Webb’s house and see why he wasn’t answering the phone???? That is just way too suspicious.

Plus, Webb thought someone had hacked his computer or Web site. His friend had total access to his Web site. I hope the police are investigating the “friend.”

This is just a wild guess, but I’d bet the killer is a gay lover. The MSM avoids mentioning the high incidence of violence among homosexuals whenever possible. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

"We want Mike's progressive voice to continue."

Apparently "we" must consist of about 17 or so people. Of course if they're all gay, the MSM will be sure to exaggerate the true number many times over.

His 10-year stint as a late-night talk show host came to an end in December 2005 when he was fired by KIRO-AM/710 after being charged with insurance fraud.

LOL! A crook like this liberal was no doubt in bed with a lot of sleazy people. The cops should have their hands full interviewing "persons of interest".

I don't know anything about this guy, but I am surprised we have not had more politically-related mayhem (not saying that this was) given the anger that many of us have felt around politics for the last few years.

A lot of these guys are in the business or baiting people and roiling the passions.

Remember the case of Alan Berg who got it in Denver some years ago?

btw, physical violence is a bad thing but I have no intention of trying to dial back my personal anger and am not telling others to do so, except perhaps those who are getting close to acting out. So many things have sent me just completely over the top in the last few years. Man...I remember when Al Gore's campaign surrogate, the Texas NAACP, ran the James Byrd ads saying a Bush victory would mean more African Americans dragged to death, etc. I do not do physical violence myself, but people who take their incendiary lies to that sort of level are courting it.

The realtor who rented them the house is David Neth. Google "David Neth" along with "Gay" and "Seattle". Lots of hits.

From the Seattle Times article:

John McMullen, a longtime friend and former employer...

McMullen, founder of Gaybc.com, an online gay-themed radio station, said he last talked with Webb in March. Webb was a former talk show host on gaybc.com web radio, as well.

No rent money arrived for June, so Neth went to the rental house on June 12 and posted an eviction notice, letting Webb know he had three days to move out. The front door was unlocked, so Neth went inside.

Guy is just one week late with the rent and he posts an eviction notice on the door of a 'friend'.

Maybe the cops should start looking within the homosexual community for the perp. Neth might be a good place to start.

I think Free Republic should be consultants to the Seattle PD! We’ve probably done as much legwork as they have. The Seattle Times reports that computers were missing from Webb’s home. Obviously someone close to Webb did it, who had been “corresponding” with him via email. It shouldn’t be too tough to find out who he was emailing recently and make a relatively short suspect list.

Might be stuff on his computer he was using to blackmail others. Seems like he didn’t have any money and needed a place to stay. No one breaks into a house just to steal a computer these days.

Theft could not have been the motive. A burgler would never have taken the time to wrap up the body and hide it in the crawl space. I suspect that this case is never going to be solved because some very powerful people within the Seattle gay community will not want it solved.

Interesting theory. This whole case is fascinating. Just from googling around, there is a ton of stuff on this guy. He clearly was crazy, but he has a bunch of rabid left wing followers on DU. They actually bought the story that he was “set up” by Bush operatives in the car insurance scam. Webb really got off with a light sentence for a felony. Was there a Seattle gay infrastructure protecting this guy? Could he have been blackmailing some gay bigshots? What were the “strange objects” found by his body? Being gay in Seattle is no big deal so it can’t be someone worried about being “outed”. It must be some kind of sordid underground activity he was involved in that someone wanted to hide. pedophilia?

"what I believe happened is that there was a hacker who has been regularly hacking me."

...and by April, the hacker finally got the knife close enough to finish the job.

It would not surprise me. In fact, I'd be more surprised if there is no pedophilia involved.

Pure speculation, here. Yes, indeed, there is a powerful gay community in Seattle [GSBA, for instance]. Webb could have been getting ready to drop a dime on someone.

Actually it was Geico (in all seriousness). Even a caveman
could figure out he was trying to get away with insurance
fraud!

yes..I saw that movie when it first came out, ironically
enough, in Woburn MA—home town of Eric Bogosian and
director (prod.?) Ed Zwick (who also did GLORY, IIRC)

Allstate is a den of thieves! I was with them for 18 years, filed one claim, and it was a hassle beyond measure! Hope Katrina sinks the jerk-wads.


"Good hands" must refer to how deep they can stick their hand into your pocket! Don't let them get close!
