What difference does it make?
The original post was pathetic, anyway. Well, it should make a difference to anyone who uses FACTS and intelligence. So, don't worry your pretty little head about it, Krazy.  So, was it from a blog or not? Now, you say it used facts and intelligence? Please. Those straws conservatives are grasping at keep getting shorter and shorter. Sarah Palin, a huge threat? It is beneath Obama to even address a fool such as Palin. Young women with aspirations towards the executive branch of government can thank her for setting them back a generation or so.

AGG, you do understand the difference between a BLOG and hard news piece, don't you? Yeah, I do, thanks. Tell me again, which "hard news piece" did Marsh's post come from??? AGG What do you mean? I mean what is the "hard news piece" that Marsh quoted, if it were not a partisan BLOG?

AGG, but she presented hers as a BLOG entry and even gave the link, not an assertion of FACT. You did not. She has made it very clear what it is all along. You used that BLOG in a response to rightwinger as if it were FACT and didn't even mention it was a blog. This thread started (and continued) with Marsh's posting of BLOG entries, with no basis in fact. So I (largely tongue in cheek) did the same thing when replying to rwinger. If you see the absurdity of using blogs as valid facts, then you have understood my intent, which is good  . AGG But again, you indicate you don't understand the difference. That is my point. A BLOG is a collection of personal opinions, it is not a presentation of hard news presented as FACT. So there is a different standard. Can you discern the difference? And I would point out that you DID NOT ever identify your article as a BLOG, SHE DID. Go back and look at the first post on this thread: .. .blog post from Hillbuzz. NOWHERE did you identify yours as a blog, rather you tried to pass it off as FACT. Very disingenuous.

I think you are missing that point and don't understand the nature of a BLOG. A BLOG would be along the lines of DEAR DIARY. It is not supposed to be a FACT BASED hard news piece. I feel like I am speaking to aliens.

NOWHERE did you identify yours as a blog, rather you tried to pass it off as FACT. Very disingenuous. Yeah, OK, I guess my disclosure that I was posting "tongue in cheek" went over your head. If you read the thread, which you apparently did not, I made it very clear how silly a war of copied blogs would be (I said " it would be nice to avoid getting bogged down in reposting blogs here"), and proceeded to illustrate that by using a few blog entries. If you could not see that I was making fun of the very blogs I posted by using phrases like "Wow, Marsh, look at this bit of info!! Brrr, scary, isn't it??? ", then you missed my intent. Oh well. BTW, Marsh's posts after the first one did not include any disclaimer that they were blogs. AGG

I feel like I am speaking to aliens. Mel, it's not that hard. I'll try to make it real simple: Marsh posted a blog. So did I. End of story. No conspiracy. Easy, right? No intent to pretend that what I posted was a fact (although I see nothing to say that it was not true). You can infer all you want, but you do that at your own peril, so don't blame me when you end up all alone in the left field. AGG

The only problem I see with your attempt at irony is that at least your blog entry had basis in fact: Black Florida Reporter removal Mr. W

well, here is your exact post, AGG, and nowhere does it say it was a blog or done "tongue in cheek." Rather, it was posted as a serious response to rightwinger. I guess I don't get it. I wonder if this normal BAU for campaigns. Sure is. Sole Black Reporter Booted from McCain Event
Tallahassee Democrat senior writer Stephen Price was singled out and asked to leave the area reserved for media at a rally for John McCain in Panama City, Florida, on Friday. He had showed his media credentials and employee i.d. in order to enter the area when a member of McCain's security detail asked him to leave.
"I explained I was with the state press, but the Secret Service man said that didn't matter and that I would have to go," Price said.
When another reporter asked why Price was being removed, she too was led out of the area. Other state reporters remained.
Price was the only black reporter among those surrounding McCain's bus ... was he being "profiled"?
Tallahassee Democrat Executive Editor Bob Gabordi said the incident was unwarranted.
"We're deeply concerned and disturbed that our reporter — of all of those in that area — was asked to move," Gabordi said. "My understanding is that Stephen was the only reporter approached and asked to leave the area, and the only reporter in that area who is black. Another reporter who stood up for Stephen was then asked to leave."

Precisely. It is also documented here. So my irony that has given Mel so much heartache appears to be factual, in contrast to the "secret Sarah" conspriacy that started this thread. AGG

Not really, the blog implies he was removed because he was black; there is no such evidence. I would also add that Keith Obermann is not even as reliable as Rush Limbaugh. HE is a party hack for Obama.

What is your beef, Mel? That the post was not factual? You now have two links that show it as fact. So what's eating you still? AGG

AGG No, I don't question that he was removed, I question the completely unfounded MOONBAT OPINION that it was done because he is BLACK. There are no facts that would support any such assertion. It is moonbat nonsense.

AGG What is eating me is that a) it is NOT FACT and b) you disingenuously hid the fact that it was a nothing more than a BLOG and didn't admit that until I asked. You presented a BLOG as a hard news piece.

No, it is not fact that he was removed because he was BLACK. Nor do we know WHY he was removed. We only know what he says. Well, since you keep changing what it is that you are complaining about, I am not sure what more you want. First you say that I did not cite a source, so I did. Then you said that it was not a fact and that I was trying to pass it of as one, which I did not. Then I give you a source, and you say that the source may be biased. I give you another source, and you say that there is no proof that he was removed because he was black. I think we are going in circles here, Mel. AGG
