I hope the publicity about Major Garret's tweets doesn't discourage him from doing more.

Yesterday's "Battle of the Blogs", with News Hounds vs Johnny Dollar, provided 2 important messages.
1. Of the 3 posts dated 2/15/10 at the Hen House, the Johnny Dollar thread received the most comments by far. 52 vs 8 vs 22. This tells us that Johnny has hit their soft spot. They do not like to be called out.
2. When they are in fact called out they resort to their usual grade school comments. Not one of those comments was able to provide any evidence where Johnny was wrong.
Of course , Ellen's "excuses" for her "mistakes" were the usual run of the mill garbage that she puts out when caught with her hand in the cookie jar. "I am right and Dollar is wrong" is her mantra. When she attempts to explain her explainations she comes up short once again.
Ellen posted her retort to Johhny on the mains because she knew it would call the dogs out to spew their vile comments.
Their hate is never ending.

"probably?" What does "probably" mean Harry? So my saying you "probably" are in mommies basement chasing your tail like a good little hound therefore you are "probably" funded by George Soros and GreenNOball's love child Ellen would be correct?

Only on Fox. Fox Business are outraged that Wellpoint increase their prices.
The funny thing is Fox aren't outraged on behalf of the American public but because it gives health care advocates more ammo to push for reform.

I.M. Right. when have media matters lied? yet this site/posters complains about them.

Next time try using correct grammar.
Media Matters lie? At least make an effort to read their stories. They are notorious for leaving things out of stories.

Yes, our new friend Harry sure does have a distinctive way of conjugating verbs. Fox are outraged and Fox aren't outraged. I wonder if Harry knows "Felix" from a few days ago. Does Harry know "Stan"?

Johnny Dollar, ?????????????????
This is an angry place.
Scott. If you say that something is probably the case, you think that it is likely to be the case, although you are not sure.
Isn't it ime you changed those week old Y fronts.

Harry @ 1:31:53 PM
So basically, it means you have no facts or evidence to back it up... you're just "guessing." In other words... making it up. Is that correct, Harry?

Evening all
I just came in from the pub....watching the men's curling...not a great start for the Brits...6-4 loss to Sweden...Danny I'm not elephant's trunk...had a few pints but still steady on the pins.
I now find I'm being accused of being Harry....I'm not the only person that uses the web and who can assess this site...surprisingly enough.
So I'll say this once and once only....I'M NOT HARRY.

No....but we do have men in kilts.
This is heart warming news...The Beck show that airs on the SKY network here in the UK has run the show with NO ads for the last 5 days.
Well done UK!!
103 advertisers have now pulled ads from the Beck comedy show.

I wish kilts were socially acceptible formal attire here in the states. I'd wear them to work all the time.

FF..stuff what people think...just go for it. You'll always get the stupid comment....(say in a beck silly voice)....why are you wearing a skirt?.
Mind you If you do wear the kilt....you need to be a true Scotsman....that's mandatory.

Haggis, I'm a total mutt. Dutch, German, French, 1/16th American Indian. I simply call myself American.
By being "a true Scotsman", do you mean not wear underwear?

Judging from the people who were conversing with him, Shuster thought he was sending out direct messages (only visible to the recipients) but mistakenly sent them out to the entire twitterverse. Smart move, Dave!

I'm starting to understand just how really sad MSNBC management is.
How can management justify allowing Shuster to anchor a nationally available live program five days a week if he is not to be trusted with inmdependent tweeting?
So, Johnny, if MSNBC owns Shuster's tweet site does that make them liable for what was a false libelous tweet?

It's getting pretty nasty over at mediaite. I'm surprised because they were pretty good about warnings and keeping it clean, but the threds are being hijacked by a few who spew trash rather than discuss the content. They are just trying to keep it as a liberal echo chamber and attack anyone who posts over there that doesn't buy into the liberal think.

Not surprising at all.
These guys are not honest brokers and have a lot of practice at pushing up to the point where they endanger their position. Ole Erzatz pulled back last week and made a few reasonable comments before going back to his usual ugly self with Writer.
I've seen him do the same thing at more than one site.
