Perhaps of interest.

Thanks for the ping.

Yes, this has happened before. Somewhere on this forum, and I don't know how to find it now, there is another article from Capitol Hill Blue that tripped my crap detector in the same way. I don't even remember what it was about, but it quoted some "Republican organizer" by name, and another figure that I can't recall. I went out and tried to find other things these people might have said, so as to get an idea of where they were on the political spectrum. There was no evidence that either one existed. And these were supposedly big-shot figures who had been around a while. Neither of them had left any tracks whatsoever, either on the web (via Google) or in a Lexis-Nexis search. I concluded they were bogus.

Within a week or two they did it again. The next time they came up with one of these sources saying something that had the ring of crap to it, I was already suspicious from the first one, and so hunted that guy down too. Once again, every indication was that the person had been fabricated.

This is many months ago now, but it was around the time that Capitol Hill Blue was sold, if anyone wants to try to hunt those threads down.

OF COURSE!

Doug Thompson pulled this same stunt in January and February. He pulls some fictitious person out of his ass and makes up an incident. Indeed, I recall that Doug's February screed had not only a fictitious person, but almost word for word like the January article. Nick Danger wrote a whole expose on this and debunked the whole outfit.

In short, CHB is little more than a lying rag run by a mendacious sack of sh*t.

End of Story. Case closed.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
