You call that criticism? You need to get out of this business, then. Your skin is just too thin.

And yes, this is criticism. You win.

I’m still “Seeing nonexistent criticism where it doesn’t exist,” Squig.

Nor does my use of double negatives help mine, but oh well. Too late.

My “specious criticism” of you? I didn’t say one single thing about you or your writing. And you accuse me of not reading what you wrote.

Seeing nonexistent criticism where it doesn’t exist definitely doesn’t help your credibility.

Squiggy,

Michelle Malkin was an excellent journalist, and I was one of her biggest fans. She is now very powerful, and sometimes a good journalist, but her power as a media gatekeeper has increased at the expense of her diligence as a journalist. As for your not having “seen any evidence to the contrary,” either you didn’t read my column, or you are a dishonest Michelle Malkin fanatic. Actually, your breathless encomium to Malkin (”Michelle is awesome”) leaves no doubt as to the basis of your specious criticism of me.

I’m accusing her of stealing credit for my story, and of sharing the credit with Republican blogger-cronies of hers whom she knew had not worked the story, and who had spread wild, unsourced Internet rumors without making any effort to check them out, or even to link to them. She showed she knew this, because her video actually contradicted their blogs in emphazising that the rumors were unconfirmed.

So, why give credit to people who deserved none, and who in fact deserved to be excoriated for their irresponsible rumor-mongering? Because they are her cronies. Malkin has become a gatekeeper, the Internet equivalent of a political boss. Her power derives from all of the Republican bloggers that cite, quote and link to her on a daily basis. That incurs in her the obligation to return the favor by giving them credit for stories, even when they don’t deserve any.

If Malkin had simply plagiarized my story, hers would have been more accurate.

Are you accusing Michelle of plagiarizing? Or just reporting on the same story as you?

Knoxville’s George ‘Detroit’ Thomas DID QUALIFY TO COMPETE in this year’s Bragging Rights Competition!

It is amazing to learn about this crime here in this tangential story. I live here in TN (not Knoxville) and knew nothing of it…..

Many blacks are pulling for Knoxville’s ‘SuperThug’ & Carjacker Lemaricus Davidson to win the 2007 Sexiest & Hardest Ghetto Black Male Felon Bragging Rights competition for 2007. Others are still on the sideline as to whether it was appropriate for the competition editor, Kirkland Perkins, to waive the rapist disqualification rule and invoke the ‘Emit Till’ excuseable rape clause so Davidson and his brother could compete.

I soundly support Savannah’s ‘Slave Avenger’ Michael ‘Turtle’ Thorpe. The family of Thorpe’s victim, Jennifer Ross, owned slaves and never paid their reparations. This is keenly why Thorpe is Perkins *favorite* to win the 2007 Rights.

Voting online’s been added. And it is exciting that Knoxville’s George ‘Detroit’ Thomas received enough votes to qualify to compete! There’s never been 3 competitors from the same city and for the same crime in the competition ever!

To radio relay:

Getting called a liar by a liar like you is rich.

“The liar, and person exagerating the issues and facts, seems to be YOU, Mr Stix.”

give one example of my lying or exaggerating, you dirty, lying dog.

“She’s not doing a report on the story, but on the MSM ignoring it.

“Whatsa matta yu, Stix?!? Does her point get too close to home?!?”

Since I broke the story two days before she did, how could her point “get too close to home” with me? You were too lazy to read my AR story, and are writing for people who are equally lazy. Like I said of lazy story thieves like Malkin and her cronies, why bother with newsgathering? And a lazy, lying cuss like you is the reader side of the equation. You have no respect for a real journalist, or for the truth, for that matter.

First time I’ve heard about it. Guess it’s only politically correct when the victims are Black and the criminals White.

Mr Stix is correct. America Renaissance has been covering this for quite some time, when absolutely nobody else was.

About Channon Christian and the five black trash bags: it is noted in one media source.

Actually, I just watched the “Hot Air” video over on Malkin’s website. The liar, and person exagerating the issues and facts, seems to be YOU, Mr Stix.

Malkin’s point is that the MSM is ignoring the story. She wonders if it’s because a couple of nice, “white”, hetero kids were raped, tortured, and murdered by black thugs? She’s not doing a report on the story, but on the MSM ignoring it.

Whatsa matta yu, Stix?!? Does her point get too close to home?!?

I have followed Michelle’s reporting for the past few years and have high regard for her articles. As is the case for most people, I haven’t the time to pursue the works of every journalist that comes along. Unfortuantely the filter on my work computer (working lunch) will not allow me to access the AR that you reference and thereby witness the article you claim. If your allegations are indeed correct I would be gravely disappointed in Michelle and would in the future keep a sharp eye for any other journalistic improprieties and reevalute my opinion of her work and my regard for her accordingly. To my mind you have levied some rather strong allegations at her and I would like to see more supporting evidence of your claim. I would also like to see Michelle either civilly and thouroghly rebut you if the charges are false or civilly and sincerely acknoledge and apologize to you should the charges be true.
Not that I have alot of faith that this post will be addressed but one can hope that dignity, honor and honesty continue to exist even if in hiding on this planet.
Come on Michelle, make me proud.
