Usually I just ignore this kind of nonsense, but sometimes the smears my admirers post on their blogs are so egregiously dishonest that they need to be pointed out.

Today’s example is at “Weasel Zippers,” a raving anti-Muslim blog that stole its name from one of our random sayings that appear at the top of the right column: Weasel Zippers: Charles Johnson Shocked, SHOCKED to Learn There are Actually People Who Don’t Believe in Man-Made Global Warming…..

Zippy the Pinhead decided to smear me by pointing out that I used to be a “skeptic” (in actuality, I was uninformed and misled by the propagandists, as I noted in this post), and he captures the following screenshot from LGF to “prove it.” (Since I never denied this, I don’t know why he thinks it’s important to “prove it,” but it’s pretty pointless to try to figure out what goes through the alleged minds of these people.)

Again, read this post to see how and why I changed my mind. But the really creepy part is here — Zippy writes:

He really has become as dishonest as the people he once (in the not-so-distant past) detested….

(sorry, no link for the jackass)

Why didn’t he link to my post? Was it just to spite me? Or was it because there’s a very clear update right beneath the section he grabbed, that kind of makes him look like a buffoon?

Not just a buffoon — an outright liar, trying to perpetrate a smear job. Here’s the post he didn’t link to: The Great Global Warming Swindle.

And the same note was posted at the bottom of another LGF entry on this climate denial film: The Great Global Warming Swindle.

By not linking to my post, of course, he prevented people from finding out that he was lying, since they couldn’t click through and see the update that he deliberately left out. And he also prevented me from learning about his smear, since I wouldn’t see the link coming from his blog in my referral logs.

Just another day in the life of the idiots who will go to any length, tell any lie, sneak around, and distort anything I say to smear me. There’s an awful lot of this stuff going around the wingnut blogs right now.
