Nice Lehrer quote.

Wow, when the NYT finds out they inadvertently quoted Charles, their collective heads are going to explode, just like in the sci-fi classic "Scanners."

re: #3 buzzsawmonkey

Thank you.

Must go off and do laundry.

Layers of high-quality fact-checking!

Ha ha, traction control cited lgf but obviously the citation was too hard to find for the NYT. Losers.

Should we tell him, or let his ignorance fester?

Well- I wouldn't be surprised if the nyt didn't want to send traffic to LGF, so they used a proxy site.

Charles, you made the Times...congrats!

OT:

Ted Kennedy diagnosed with a brain tumor...

I vote fester.

I LOVE the irony. Charles -- you've been published in the NY Slimes. (you've got friends in loooow places, where the whiskey flows and beer chases....etc.)

O Tempera! O Morons!

Breaking - Kenney has a malignant brain tumor in the parietal lobe.

Prayers - my father had a non-malignant tumor - and it took him 2 years to recover after surgery.

Either one wouldn't surprise me.

Sen. Ted Kennedy Has Brain Tumor, Doctors Say

Sorry Kennedy

re: #1 The Other Les

Two words: General Praetreus.

He forged the alliance, one dumb Marine set it back, grand machinations made it right. The NYT blog is for those with the mouth, without the heart.

Hey guys!

OT, but has anyone seen this at RedState?

Greg Craig, one of Barack Obama's foreign policy advisors defended John Hinckley, who shot Ronald Reagan.

A possible appointment to an Obama Administration's Department of State! For a man who has been compared to Reagan, this should remove all doubt that he is anything but.

Of course, if Fox News is wrong, they'll be demonized till the cows come home. As if they're not already.

I'm very sorry to hear this. I'm no fan of his, but I still wish him the best.

Heh... simpering idiot.

Imagine how much greater his shock will be when he realizes it’s actually the dreaded Little Green Footballs.

His widdle head will go "pop".

Other radio stations are now reporting the same story.

re: #22 bosforus

Actually heard it on ABC - went to Fox for the link.

re: #15 DistantThunder

That's not good. Prayers for Ted and his family.

The idiot linked me in there.

To be sure, there were extreme views expressed on both sides. On the left, a Daily Kos blogger asserted that the Koran shooting was “Worse Than Abu Ghraib.” On the right, the incident was called overblown, and the apology overdone (“He kissed the [expletive] book?“) and useless (”Good luck with the groveling“).

Since I had already noted the Kos link, I redirected added the NYT link just to bamboozle their readers.

Update: In typical understated fashion, a Kosling says this is worse than Abu Ghraib. And we all know how well that went over with the haters on the left.

Why does that quote sound so familiar? Maybe because I wrote it yesterday.

Big NYT is ripping you off!

I never agreed with his politics, but my prayers go out to Senator Kennedy and his family.

This is what separates LGF from HuffPo. Had this been Bush or Cheney the they would have posted every vile comment and they would be dancing in the streets.

Thanks for keeping LGF a clean and classy site, Charles.

Good news: Everyone shops at the blogosphere info warehouse.
Bad news: Not siting source of content sampling.

re: #33 taxfreekiller

That site links to here but basically reprints entire posts from here and elsewhere.

It's one thing to link someone's else material, quite another to reprint the whole thing on your own site.

Seems to be alot of that going on.

Weasels and their weasel words, lead to weasel madness, fomented by weasel management. W-E-E-E-A-Z-E-L-S I says!

Cowardly weasels at that too.

Of some note:

The sorry ass Dallas Morning News.

Their Monday edition is so small now you can not tell it from the little
local news papers when they throw them in the mornings.

This Monday's was only like 15 pages, aka mini lies.

Soon they will be mini loons and self delivering the lies on the way home in their personal cars.

fn' commie loons

"Gun rights advocate"? LOL. So that's what LGF is about!

From my cold dead cycling gloves!

Er... That doesn't sound right...

No standards for blog quoting. I found his article hard to read. Too much "cut and dash". I found myself thinking that the poster on that blog probably hadn't read the articles either. It takes a little time to read, digest, and summarize. I think the lowest common quoting standard is accurate link and funny title. Accurate link, accurate title, and blogroll name would be better. And in his case he should color code the stuff that he copies to distinguish it from his original content.

Serves them right for naming the Illegal Alien as their "Texan of the Year" for 2007.

re: #30 JammieWearingFool

The idiot linked me in there.

I missed that -- "good luck with the groveling" is an extreme view?

On the other hand, "extreme" is the right word for the other blog he linked in that paragraph.

Even if this WAS written by an anonymous gun-rights advocate... what does gun rights have to do with the story to begin with? ?

These people shouldn't have passed pre-school.

re: #45 Charles

So... how do you handle this one? Just let them realize it after some readers email them.... or demand in a strongly-worded letter that they admit to the egg on their face and acknowledge who you are, and that your site has nothing to do with gun rights?

re: #45 Charles

I guess I'm an extremist to them.

Had to read it twice to make sure they weren't calling me useless.

Does anyone know if the alleged Koran was:

a. In Arabic, or
b. A translation, or
c. In whole or in part bilingual?

I ask because if it was b, a translation, it was _not_ a Koran. That's right, unlike the OT and NT, it's only official if it's in Arabic.

If it was a, an Arabic copy, do we know if the soldier could read Arabic? If not, no intentional "crime."

Only if it was c was there an intentional shooting at something we might call a Koran.

Why would a "gun rights advocate" be in favor of a U.S. soldier deliberately inflaming tensions (by shooting the Koran, and then leaving the copy to be found by Iraqis)?

Does the NYT think "gun rights advocates" are in favor of all uses of guns, any time, any way? That doesn't make any sense.

No. The correct answer is that the NYT assumes gun rights advocates are stupid bigots. That, in and of itself, is bigoted. The NYT has shown its bigotry once again.

re: #14 buzzsawmonkey

O Tempera! O Morons!

'Tis true, 'tis pithy, buzz.

People, seriously now,
We're dealing with a nation that the worst terror attack made on their land was a rumor that a bomb was placed in a mosque; nearly 1000 people died without using firearms or knives...
I mean, the Koran might be a good book, really, but it's a printed copy that costs 50 Iraqi cents (It's not like they destroyed the first manuscript written by Mohamed (Was there one anyways?)). How that justifies hurting other human beings for real?
And the reason why these people get hurt? having the same origin geographically.
And we're suppose to apologize to people who rationalize in this way....

Charles, help...

Charles, I am happy to see you are now a designated gun rights advocate. So will you join us on the gun threads now? Just as long as you aren't one of those heretics who defend 9mm parabellum... all of whom should be burned at the stake!

/getting into the swing of "exaggeration week" here at LGF

re: #14 buzzsawmonkey

O Tempera!

Coming right up.

Beyond ongoing loss of revenue and the firing of reporters the Times is increasingly in my opinion becoming the befuddled old uncle who the democratic left wants to stay in his room when company (voters ) come over. Jayson Blair and helping John Kerry lose the last election with an article quoting him equating terrorism to simple crime.

It is certainly embarrassing to come out in support of Clinton and then have your columnists wage an ongoing campaign of decimation against her. What will the result be if Obama tanks in 2008 and Clinton rises as the democratic phoenix in 2012?

I predict that by 2012 the Times will be owned by Rupert Murdoch. When I open the paper in that year I expect to see "Times Page 3 Girls". Heh, heh.

As far as The Times is concerned, anyone in favor of gun rights is one step away from being up in a clock tower. So yes, any sign of what they would term "reasonableness" comes as a complete shock to them.

Ha, ha.

This is better than prime time TV.
