While defending the Associated Press’s right to lie to its customers and spread enemy propaganda, John Cook at Radar Online takes a pathetic slap at me for something I didn’t write, about an event that happened today: Hawkish Blog Mum on AP Photog Murder.

Cook seems to believe that just pointing them out (“Look what Charles F. Johnson wrote! Isn’t he stupid?”) is enough to debunk them.

Bob Owens replies to Boehlert: Confederate Yankee: Neck Deep.
