I saw a bunch of tweets this morning about something Patrick Frey (Patterico) posted on Twitter last night, but I couldn’t be arsed to read it - I already knew what it was, more pitiful attempts to argue that all those racism comments I’ve been quoting are “planted” by liberals.
Anyway, I finally got to read what Patrick is calling his “SIX FACTS” that I’m obligated to respond to. Or else, something.
@Lizardoid 1. Fact: Killgore Trout made racist comments on a conservative site that did not reflect his true views. Correct?— Patterico (@Patterico) April 13, 2012
@Lizardoid 2. Fact: Killgore Trout pulled this “stunt” in the middle of the night. Correct?— Patterico (@Patterico) April 13, 2012
@Lizardoid 3. Fact: liberals sometimes plant “false flag” comments on conservative sites. Indeed, you used to complain it happened to you.— Patterico (@Patterico) April 13, 2012
@Lizardoid 4. Fact: you have no evidence whatsoever that the various comments you cite on conservative sites are actually by conservatives.— Patterico (@Patterico) April 13, 2012
@Lizardoid 5. Fact: #LGF used to have a notorious problem with people who left extreme, over the top anti-Muslim comments on your site.— Patterico (@Patterico) April 13, 2012
@Lizardoid 6. To this day, your site states: “Comments do not necessarily reflect the views of Little Green Footballs.”— Patterico (@Patterico) April 13, 2012
@Lizardoid I just gave you six facts. They are numbered. Try to deny any one of them. You can’t.— Patterico (@Patterico) April 13, 2012
@Lizardoid The conclusion most will draw from these facts: you set different standards for others than you do for yourself.— Patterico (@Patterico) April 13, 2012
@LIzardoid? About my 6 facts you can’t refute? Want to address those please? I predict you’ll continue to ignore, or at most sneer and smear— Patterico (@Patterico) April 13, 2012
@Lizardoid But hey. Surprise me. You’re always very vocal when I criticize you so why the sudden silence? Scroll down and address my facts.— Patterico (@Patterico) April 13, 2012
Last night I presented six facts that show Charles Johnson’s hypocrisy. RT if you double dog dare @Lizardoid to address them.— Patterico (@Patterico) April 13, 2012
Good grief. What a nimrod. So I replied:
@Patterico #PlantedCommentsLOL— Charles Johnson (@Lizardoid) April 13, 2012
You can imagine what followed.
Our conversation concluded with Patrick threatening to write a post exposing me as the evil mastermind behind the vast comment-planting conspiracy, in league with the mysterious Killgore Trout, or something.
@Lizardoid A couple more sneers will nicely round out my planned post about how Charles Johnson runs from the facts. I’m sure you’ll oblige.— Patterico (@Patterico) April 13, 2012
