Uh, you’ve drawn a few odd conclusions here.
Yep, I absolutely posted at DailyKos.com before starting work at The Sun. Also posted here. Also posted at MLB.com and scout.com and... god, after fifteen years on the internet, I might even have visited a porn site or two.
I guess the big question here is “and?”
Has no Fox News personality ever posted here? Has no conservative columnist ever deigned you worthy to post a comment?
Your massive ‘find’ is nothing more than a couple of breadcrumbs on the internet trail that point to a couple of websites I long ago sold off (Unreel Media is owned by another company these days, though if you’re looking for editorial services, they’re amazing and worth a call).
Did I organize a Google Bomb of Bill O’Reilly a few years back when he called for an attack on San Francisco? Sure enough. Proud moment.
Do I think Carrie Prejean is a moron? I do. Absolutely.
Do I think Michael Moore was right? Yup. I think history proved it, though I’ll agree he cheats to get the footage he wants (you can find plenty on dKos where I’ve said as much).
Do I think it’s understandable Saddam tried to off Bush Sr? Sure. Bush told him that the US had no beef with Iraq muscling Kuwait over an oil dispute, so when the US suddenly called him evil for doing so, it would make sense they’d have a beef. I’m not saying he’d be right in going after Pappy, I just think the urge to do so would be understandable coming from him.
As far as girl on girl action is concerned, like I said, I don’t own those sites anymore. Well, not all of them. Not that one, anyway. Last I heard it was going to be a techy review site, but I guess they opted for automated news aggregation of a given sort. I contacted the owner and he took the phrase off the site just now, so there’s one for the little guy.
Yes, i have had contact with Markos Moulitsas. I emailed him once. I’m guessing Jim (sorry for the name screw-up - will fix it when i’m next at my desk) has done same.
As for the loan sharking bit... well, that’s just a terrible lie. I’m a member of a website called Kiva.org, that lends money to third world people who want to start a business and can’t get credit due to their circumstances. I would send $50 every few weeks to be loaned to an ox farmer in Zambia or a baker in Azerbaijan, and they would then pay the loan back as they could (interest-free) and the money could then be re-loaned elsewhere. If that’s loan-sharking, then I guess I’m a loan shark, but I’m thinking any rational person would see it as a good thing to do. Sending aid is dumb, because you’re just temporarily filling a hole. Offering microcredit builds an economy. Again, proud moment.
What motivated me to write the piece about FR?
Well, you see, I’ve seen a lot of anonymous blog posts in my time that were nasty, vicious and beyond the pale. They happen on dKos too, as you know, but most of the time they’re isolated incidents and quickly stomped.
But this was an entire thread in which everyone - bar a couple - were pounding out racial, sexist and just plain boorish abuse at an 11-year-old girl. That’s not cool.
That it was suppressed and placed under review would make it a non-story, if it stayed suppressed, but when it came back, with a note mocking the person that complained, that comes across as ‘site approval’ to me.
More comments of the same nature followed before someone finally put the kybosh on things - after it went public.
Say what you will about my political beliefs (I’m a lefty, never hidden it), but that’s a story.
For those who wondered, yes, I believe Letterman’s joke was wrong. I also note he apologized and clarified his intent on national TV. So be it.
What it all comes down to is, if you properly moderate your forum (Gosh, I called it a blog? Consider me flayed) so that 11-year-old girls aren’t called whores, we can go back to just believing in opposite things and I can get back to writing about MMA, Jon and Kate Plus 8, and other such important things.
Much love, and feel free to drop me a line at cparry@vancouversun.com if you want to discuss things further. I’m an open book, as should be any journalist, left, right or otherwise.
on a side note:
"...Also posted here...."
Here? Get real. So where are they? The posts. Can't seem to find them. Fibbing in the third sentence. How is that for credibility?
(Unless of course you have a Freeper name you are too scared to reveal because it will take you to beyond busted)
We all know that's true. I'm laughing so hard I'm dying!
So this is at least the second time you've signed up on Free Republic? What was/were your other Free Republic handles ~ or are you afraid of what we'll find associated with your prior postings here?
You are a jerk, and a liar.
This story was manufactured by you, and you do not have the guts to admit it!
Indeed.
Welcome to FR. Although I don't agree with your stands, or, for that matter particularly even like you, I do appreciate your standing up to be counted.
So you admit setting up republicans? Someone who sets up like this considers himself a reporter? I don't doubt someone with your vile, evil personality does visit porn sites. Who in their right mind would date you?
Has no Fox News personality ever posted here? Has no conservative columnist ever deigned you worthy to post a comment?
What the hell does that have to do with your repulsive racist posts and lies?
Did I organize a Google Bomb of Bill O’Reilly a few years back when he called for an attack on San Francisco? Sure enough. Proud moment.
I believe that is illegal and you admit it? When did O'Reilly say attack San Francisco? Is this how you get people to read your articles by making things up? Obviously we found out that is exactly how you report. You take a story like O'reilly saying liberalism in San Francisco will destroy them and all of a sudden that is a attack them?
I am guessing this is O'Reilly talking about how SF was originally hippies and they stayed and now it is the most liberal area in the US. That people like Pelosi and Newsome are destroying the beautiful city with sanctuary status for illegals and allowing drug traffickers to go free so they can kill innocents.
All true. SF one of the most beautiful cities in the US, one of the highest revenues cities in the world, is filthy, drugs galore, 60% of their uninsured is illegals, and Newsome and Pelosi have driven it into the ground and cannot even renew their sewer systems due to poor management of money and too much spent on felons and illegals. You cannot walk the sidewalks because the homeless urinate everywhere. You cannot go into or out of a store without someone asking for a handout. You drive up the streets and the homeless are attacking the homeless and taking their wallets as they sleep. The Folsom street fair is a day long fair of sexual perversion in the streets. Pelosi and Newsome see nothing wrong with it. The organizers freely invite underage to see the perversion in the streets and join in.
Then there is the gay pride parade. They deserve a parade. its okay with me. But it is all about nudity and butts hanging out of chaps and tongues wagging like some sick wackos. That is perversion. If they must do these things they should do them at home and not flaunt it for everyone to see. Just as you destroy real journalism, they destroy the perception of the gay lifestyle.
The liberals have destroyed and made unsafe to the point where native San Franciscans are afraid to go to areas they grew up in. And Pelosi would like nothing better than making all of the US the same dirty, over taxed, unfair place like her city of ill repute.
Do I think Carrie Prejean is a moron? I do. Absolutely.
So then you think Obama is a moron also? Obama said the exact same thing as Prejean. Prejean said what America stands for, freedom to choose. She has a right to say gay marriage is not for her. YOU do not have a right to force her to want gay marriage. IF you do not like freedom of speech and the right to find happiness in your own way, please do not come to the US. We are fighting for freedom as it is and we don't need anymore commies.
What bothers you is she is a Christian and she does not want what you want. You are gay, correct? YOU are helping the negative perception of gays that a majority if the people dislike. I have gay friends in SF, Florida and Los Angeles, you do them a great disservice. They are not hostile, they do not seek revenge. They just want a normal life like anyone else.
Do I think Michael Moore was right? Yup. I think history proved it, though I’ll agree he cheats to get the footage he wants (you can find plenty on dKos where I’ve said as much).
There is no history anywhere proving Michael Moore is right on anything. There is more proof he doctored his films with false accusations just like you do. Two peas in a pod so of course you would like him.
On healthcare alone, he says Cuba so great but Fidel had to be brought to spain to be saved. During the movie foreign leaders and their families came to the US to get healthcare. Michael Moore is someone who feeds off lies. He is pond scum. Moores movie on Columbine was brought out as all lies.
What motivated me to write the piece about FR?
Obviously because you hate what FR stands for. Freedom of speech, Christianity, no lies, less government. You can post all day long but your theme is obvious.
Well, you see, I’ve seen a lot of anonymous blog posts in my time that were nasty, vicious and beyond the pale. They happen on dKos too, as you know, but most of the time they’re isolated incidents and quickly stomped.
That is a the biggest lie. You don't see the filth dailykos posts because you are dirtier than they are. You like it.
Anyone who would email you would have to take 10 showers afterwards. You are disgusting.
Don't you worry, we will make sure your hate and lies are known everywhere. You like who you are but I guarantee you few people like a liar, racist or someone who sets others up. Very sad indeed.
You are one sick puppy.

Don't you know the word "moron" is a horribly improper and outdated epithet once used to describe the mentally challenged? Even if she is mentally challenged (and she isn't -- she just has an opinion you disagree with), your word for her is just as offensive as calling a black person a n***er. Back to sensitivity training for you.

That would be "No". We can question and you can answer here.
I do realize that since you've signed on this time under your real name the probabilities are zero that you'll answer my queries, but it never hurts to ask.
I am greatly looking forward to your response, though I feel I know what your answer will be in advance...
"It's none of your damn business."
Fear of exposure tends to do that.
hey chrissy the sissy...
I’d love to take up your challenge of fooling your stoopid leftist arse then seeing a pu$$y lib like you try and punch me in the head....should you ever find yourself in NYC please send me a Freepmail so we can arrange this....
That's a lie. They are proud of them
...this was an entire thread in which everyone - bar a couple - were pounding out racial, sexist and just plain boorish abuse at an 11-year-old girl.
That's a lie and you know it. If you don't know it, don't call yourself a journalist.
Plus the majority of them were posted by leftist plants, which you condone.
That it was suppressed and placed under review would make it a non-story, if it stayed suppressed, but when it came back, with a note mocking the person that complained, that comes across as ‘site approval’ to me.
That's also a lie and if you were looking for the truth you would know that.
What it all comes down to is, if you properly moderate your forum...so that 11-year-old girls aren’t called whores...
Another lie. I hate to insult you like this, but you sound just like Bill O'Reilly.

[Chris Parry]: So I tried to hit FP for a while this morning and answer their questions. I was interested in finding out how I ‘defamed’ them by reporting factually something they don't deny happened.
Lots of abuse. That's fine. A few honest questions, so I answered those. Then the conspiracy theories began - they aren't even worth dignifying, let alone refuting.
Now, of course, they're saying they'll email everyone at the company I work for, calling me a racist. My bosses don't seem bothered, especially being a traffic today is huge as a result, but if you guys could send on some encouragement to the paper for reporting honestly about stuff that other papers steer clear of, that wouldn't hurt.
Send a Twitter message to http://www.twitter.com/... (so as to not fill his inbox) if you'd like to counteract the ‘kill the messenger’ crowd over at FP.
Oh, by the way, someone who I think is a part of FP’s higher echelon emailed me thanking me for writing the story, saying they need to stop this kind of stuff on their forum and this was just the tonic to correct those mistakes.
That was a nice note to get. Because, really, that's all anyone on either side should want - mistakes fixed.
You seriously think Letterman apologized?
