   Did you see….NRA has partnered with St Paul’s Gander Mountain. I’ll put that company on my short list of companies that seem to be run by conservatives (or at least not pandering liberals).

   This pleases me. All 3 groups have their own reservations down here.

   DG,

   Alas, you’ve gone back to your old habits – making snide, dismissive, condescending claims that your facts (“ironically”) can’t support, and scampering away, thereby using my comment section as a metablog.

   I told you I wouldn’t tolerate it.

   So this time, in addition to needing you to start discussing the claims you make in my comment section, I’m going to need some answers from you.

   • You recently claimed you’d been “published” in the London School of Economics’ blog. I’ve asked you repeatedly; the “publication” was actually just a link to one of your articles on “Minnesota Progressive Project”. Am I correct? If not, please provide a link, either publicly or privately to me. it appears you are trying to stretch five pounds of bag over ten pounds of reality.
   • Another: many years ago, you claimed that Salem Twin Cities was in imminent danger of being sued into receivership, because of a scam being run by one of its paid programs. You made a big show of it, in fact. You made a big show of how one of your neighbors – an expert in corporate law, but naturally nobody we could talk to, of course – backing you up on this.
     . So – whatever became of that? That was at least seven years ago; any updates?
   • In 2012, you claimed that Rep. Cornish’s “Stand your Ground” bill – which passed both chambers of the legislature with a bipartisan majority – was “crap legislation”. When asked to substantiate the claim beyond the level of opinion, you provided some stats that, in fact, proved that Stand your Ground was excellent legislation that did exactly what I said it would; you just didn’t know any better. So – please either substantiate your claim with actual facts (and be prepared to defend your defense!), or admit you were talking out your ass

   I could find a lot more, but I have a life.

   God bless ya, DG, but I’m calling BS on you.

   What a joke — seriously, you are posting ANYTHING from the Blaze as credible.

   What a load of hot steaming crap; this is possibly worse only than your quotes from tabloid Daily Mail rubbish.

   Here is a much more accurate image of what is taking place, and it does not involved urine. Presumably the Cleveland Plain Dealer, a legitimate journalism source (as distinct from wacky right wing media that makes up rubbish, or propaganda sources).

   They make no mention of urine, and as the local paper in town with better connections to the Cleveland PD and a much better track record for credible reporting:

   http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2016/07/encounters_with_police_have_be.html
   Encounters with police mainly have been uneventful so far, some protesters say
   CLEVELAND, Ohio — Megan Munk arrived from Washington state Tuesday and immediately went downtown to get involved with the protests during the 2016 Republican National Convention.

   So what did the 27-year-old self-described anarchist do when she encountered police officers trying to control the scene?

   “I sang to them a few times,” Munk said while camping overnight at Kirtland Park on South Marginal Road near East 49th Street.

   The reaction of police?
   Megan Munk sings for campers at Kirtland Park

   “They clapped a little bit,” she said.

   Demonstrations downtown did intensify Tuesday afternoon, with some verbal clashes. Several protesters yelled at police and called officers “pigs,” and there were reports that some were throwing urine.

   ……………….

   Those reports of urine being flung don’t indicate who did the flinging, but most important, there is NO confirmation of it happening by police that I can find so far. The Blaze report was 1 day ago, while the Cleveland Plain Dealer was more recent; if it were verified or verifiable, I’d expect that to show up by now. So far all that shows up is “someone claims”, not “police confirm”. Ditto from local tv stations.

   Oh, but of course, you don’t want to report facts here; you like pushing racist stereotypes and propaganda.

   Tsk tsk Mitch; do your homework.

   ——–

   Speaking of “homework”, DG? I’ve given you some.

   And your comments will be highlighted like this until you do the homework: answer my three questions, and stop using my comment section as your metablog.

   I’ve got all the patience in the world.

   over under +/- 100 posts before DG gets it and either goes away or answers. I bet over

   What a joke — seriously, you are posting ANYTHING from the Blaze as credible.

   That’s an “appeal to authority” – a logical fallacy.

   Care to address the facts presented?

   Here is a much more accurate image of what is taking place

   Because you found one report that didn’t mention urine, you think that closes the issue?

   “Intellectal rigor” just isn’t your thing , is it?

   Presumably the Cleveland Plain Dealer, a legitimate journalism source (as distinct from wacky right wing media that makes up rubbish, or propaganda sources).

   So was Dan Rather. And we know how that turned out.

   Those reports of urine being flung don’t indicate who did the flinging, but most important, there is NO confirmation of it happening by police that I can find so far.

   And we all rest assured that if any truth is to be found, it will never be you finding it.

   Oh, but of course, you don’t want to report facts here; you like pushing racist stereotypes and propaganda.

   What “racist stereotype?”

   Please elaborate?

   I’m not asking. I’m telling. Elaborate. Now.

   It’s worth noting that DG’s source only speaks to some protesters, and doesn’t even mention some of the most interesting ones, ones who really should have been arrested. Count the logical fallacies…..darn it, I don’t have enough fingers!

   Here’s a source from the mainstream that says about what the Blaze does.

   I guess “googling” is beyond DG’s vaunted research abilities.

    Never knew that Westboro was still a going concern. Had figured they’d be gone with Phelps, and how do you do so much protesting? Don’t these people have “jobs”?

    BB, I read an article saying most of the members of WBC were lawyers, and they fund the church by filing (and winning) discrimination and civil rights violation lawsuits.
