Blog War

If you have swung by the Rott anytime over the last week or so you'd know there is a Blog War going on with the Empire and Stop the ACLU on one side and Debbie Schlussel on the other.

It started when Ms. Schlussel posted an article stating that the Danes were not our allies using examples of the Socialist government of the past that has been voted out. Now our Emperor Darth Misha is a naturalized American of Danish ancestory. He is an American and deeply loves his adopted country, but he is also very proud of his birth country. He took deep umbrage at the post and fisked it here. Now Misha's site has never been know for pulling punches, but even most of the Loyal Citizens (LC's) were given pause with the language of the post.

Misha then received an E-mail from Ms. Schlussel accusing him of defamation of character and threatened to sue. He went back and reread the post, admitted he was angry when he wrote it and considered it over the top. He removed the statements requested and posted An Apology and Clarification on his site stating what he had done and why he did it. Unfortunatly this wasn't adequate for Debbie, who then started refusing to supply links to back up some of her facts and accusing LC's with sites of "blogging out their asses" and threatening them with the FBI.

She has also withdrawn her pro bono support for Stop the ACLU in the ACLU v. NSA intervening case because the site commented on the blog war and has accused Jay, the site owner of stealing funds that were to go toward the case. No facts to back it up, but it has hurt Jay's reputation.

As of this time Debbie has posted this story accusing Julie Myers, Assistant Secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement of having open border synpathies because she wore this eagle pin in her official photo.

Several people have respectfully posted comments that this is an American pin and not Mexican, however, Ms. Schlussel has decided to delete these comments. She wants to be taken seriously as a reporter, but hides anything that contradicts her original post. That may work at the NY Slimes, but there are to many bloggers now to try to hide any shortcomings in your research.

Now we wait and see what happens. Either Debbie will try to ignore her critics and hope the scutiny goes away, or she is just going to retreat further into paranoia claiming nobody understands what she is saying becasue you didn't read it correctly and you'll just trust her on her facts.
