American Nihilist

A Last Gift To Professor Douglas

2012-02-13T11:44:00.002-05:00

Being the kind, gentle and empathetic soul I am, I can't leave the Nutty Professor without a kind parting gift. And what neocon heterosexual male wouldn't appreciate the fantasy of two neocon hotties like Bertha and Donetta.

Don's given me far more enjoyment than perhaps anyone else on the American Nihilist roster and it's commenters. Maybe that's why he's shied away from engaging me. He has no way to penetrate my shields of truth, wisdom and humor. This does give him more energy to fantasize about penetrating Bertha and Donetta and for that Donald I say, you're welcome.

Don's been smarting for nearly two years since I defeated him with my "Shithead Gambit." I told him he was a shithead and declared victory over him and his neocon forces of shitheadness. He never recovered. And his pathetic "banning" of me was in fact his way of surrender while trying to save face with other neocon shitheads.

I abandoned the cerebral approach of engaging with righties years ago. You cannot reason intellectually with someone who thinks Michelle Bachman has an IQ higher than the average turnip. Just you can't argue with someone who has no health insurance and is against universal health insurance. They're idiots.

To sum it up though, I really think Don's idiocy is not in believing all the crap he spouts on his blog and wherever else he goes. I really don't think he believes all that crap. He just saw it as a way to achieve fame or some measure of success in a field that in reality is of no benefit to mankind. And seeing as how righties will go anywhere in their attempts to affirm their deluded ideas, Don figured he could cash in on their bigotry and ignorance. From what I've seen from those who have visited Don's blog, Don's financial situation is not in the best of shape. And while I wish nobody financial hardship, it is telling that Don is struggling while kooks like Eric Ericson and Andrew Breitbart seem to be doing well.

Just as Reppy has decided to end his posting at AN, perhaps Don should end his at American Power. It's doing him no good. Pam Gellar isn't going to show him her naughty bits. Mitt Romney isn't going to have him as his guest at the republican convention. And Jerry Brown will continue to cut funding which puts Don even loser to the unemployment line.

So Professor, ride off into the sunset with Repsac. Make sure you're resume and list of job references are in order. Practice saying "Would you like fries with that" and always remember Bertha and Donetta will be here for you.

Donald Kent Douglas Wins The Internet!!

2012-02-08T11:34:00.000-05:00

After a whole lotta reflection, I'm giving up. Throwing in the towel. I'm forfeiting the game, and letting Dr. Douglas take home the trophy, such as it is...

While our friend Donalde is welcome to make any heroic claims he wants about his victory and the reasons for it, the fact is, this has been building for awhile.
What started out as one thing became another. In some ways, I started behaving like my opponent--mostly by thinking all this personal bullshit actually mattered, and believing that my online worth was somehow tied into "winning" this competition, but also in some of the actions I took--and I was having more trouble squaring who I wanted to be with who and how I actually was. There came a point where my heart wasn't in it anymore, but I felt roped in in general, and that I had no choice but to defend myself and my honor when attacked, especially.

There have been a few people, words, and incidents (or some combination thereof) that have brought me to the post I'm making, here...

This whole legal fiasco of Donald's has a lot to do with it, but not for the reasons he will likely claim. I'll get to that, below.

But even before that, there was:

1) the general decline in posting by all of the authors, here... Whether spoken or unspoken, our hearts just weren't in it, anymore... I suspect we all had our reasons, but we all pretty much slowed to a crawl (except me, but only when legalistically defending myself against attacks...)

2) This comment from xpatPHD (or "splat," according to my spellcheck) about the place lacking in the fun it used to have, was also instrumental. It made a whole lotta sense (even if I never was one of the fun ones, really... I still maintain I'm the cute one in the group, but opinions differ.) While stupid pride and the feeling that I had to defend my good name kept me posting those legalistic tour duh forces (yeah, I know...) anyway, I knew he was right...

3) I found myself spending more time AFTK in that big scary real world, or online AFTP (away from the politics), reading music blogs, literary sites, and all manner of nerdy, fun, non-confrontational whatnot... ...and 1) really enjoying it, and 2) not giving a thought to this confrontational bullshit. Like it wasn't even there.

There were probably a few other "pre-legal freakout" factors, but I can't think of 'em just now. Even so, I'm sure they were just as special and life-changing...whatever they may've been....

And then came Donalde's freakout, culminating (so far, and so far as I know, anyway) in his visits to the Irvine Police, and his congressman...

Though it's very likely that Dr Douglas will claim otherwise, it isn't about my fearing the awesome american power that is him, himself, or my facing up to my supposed "crimes," but yes, the fact that Donald Douglas actually walked into a police station (& perhaps more than one, as well as a congressman's office, and maybe a DOJ or FBI office, taboot) to complain because someone was submitting comments to his moderated blog against his wishes did affect me. To put it plainly, I realized that Donald Douglas is fucking disturbed in a way that I just hadn't seen, before. (People told me, going clear all the way back to Octopus in 2008 or so--a man to whom I owe a heartfelt apology in this regard--but until Donald went and did this, I didn't really believe he was, well, actually disturbed. I just thought he was really wrong, and maybe a bit too "passionate" about some things.)
But anyone who would be crazy/brave enough to waste the time of first responders and political officials over blog comments that he was already perfectly capable of controlling, and insisting that laws designed to protect battered women apply to him and his blog, is really pretty. far. out. there.

And it wasn't just me thinkin' it... Folks online said so... Folks I spoke to offline said so, too, including some of the folks I consulted with about the laws that do and don't apply to the situation--folks who have more real-world experience with these kinda things than I do... Over and over, I heard essentially the same message... Only the wording would change:

Any guy crazy enough to think he's entitled to have police officers and the FBI enforce the rules of his blog is likely crazy enough to be dangerous when he discovers that they cannot. In any case, it's probably not a good idea to put yourself in the position of finding out.

---

Then there was having to talk to people about what went on... It didn't really occur to me until I was about to go talk to my friend, the lawyer, but not everybody blogs... ...and even fewer blog politically... And very few do the kind of crap in the name of political blogging that Donalde and I have been doing with and to each other for the last several years. I can't speak for Donalde--obviously--but I was pretty embarrassed to have to explain it all, but especially that last part...

The bullshit I subjected myself to...
The bullshit I did...
The whole stupid stereotypical male pissing contest aspect of the thing...
Like I said above, this isn't who I want to be, and having to admit out loud that it's who I've been was a real wake-up call...

The final straws came in the last 36-48 hours. First, was a post by one of Donalde's online blogging friends: Saberpoint: Strange Things Are Happening....Donald Douglas Annoyed by Leftwing Blogger. In his post, Stogie says:

"One thing is apparent. Casper has won.

Donald has allowed this individual to get under his skin in a very big way. All Casper has to do now is make any small remark and Donald has a mental breakdown...or so it seems.

Donald, there is much truth to the saying "Don't feed the trolls." You have been serving Casper a 16 oz steak on a daily basis. You have rewarded his efforts. Stop commenting about Respac3 aka Walter James Casper III. Stop reacting to him. Stop referring to him as "hate blogger Walter James Casper III." Is he a hate blogger? Who knows? Who cares, but why give him such a fearsome reputation?"

And in kinda the same vein, a few comments by (very) occasional nihilist Doctor Biobrain, attached to a post at his blog. ...And like Stogie's words above, they were addressed to Donald Douglas. Here's a representative sample, taken from several comments there:

Frankly, I've never understood why they bother with you. You're a boring clown who doesn't deserve to have a blog named American Nihilist dedicated to denouncing you. Exposing your hypocrisy, errors, and lies is like trying to count sand. After awhile, you realize it's pointless and just give up. - And Doctor Biobrain's Response Is...: 11:30 PM

"Again, that's why you shouldn't mess with people. You never know who is crazy and who might cross lines you don't want crossed. And if you treated people with more respect, you wouldn't be having these problems." - And Doctor Biobrain's Response Is...: 11:48 AM

"I mean, like the claims of me being a nihilist. What the fuck did that even mean? I'm a CPA who has his own business, a family man, completely trustworthy, and widely regarded as a nice guy by everyone. I'm one of the most optimistic people you'll ever meet and rightly so, because my life is good and I'm having fun about 99.9% of the time. I believe America is great and want it to be even better for everyone.

And so the idea that I'm a nihilist was soooooo ridiculous that I eventually turned it into its own thing. I really enjoy writing those nihilist posts and I owe it all to you, for being my inspiration.

And yet you stand by those claims, as well as all the other smears you've thrown at me over the years. And what did you gain from it? Nothing. Not a damn thing, except a lot of hassle and a blog devoted to denouncing you.

So how about you change your ways? Stop the personal smears and start making amends by acknowledging that you were wrong for personally attacking all the people you attacked. I'm telling you, these people aren't monsters. Or I hope they're not anyway. And maybe it's too late and they'll just pounce on you, but you shouldn't let it bother you because it shouldn't be personal. And more likely than not, you'll find that they're just regular people like everyone else.

The way I see things, if you're not having fun in life, then you're doing it wrong. And I don't see how you're having fun with this. There's a solution and you're the only one who can do it. You can never insult someone into submission, but you can certainly win them over with a little friendliness and understanding.

Liberals aren't evil nihilists, Donald and we never were. Life isn't nearly that exciting." - And Doctor Biobrain's Response Is...: 2:12 AM

"As I keep saying, there are scary people in this world and you shouldn't fuck with people you don't know. That's why you should be respectful to everyone, because you never know when someone might go crazy and kill you. And so if you go around insulting people all the time and making personal attacks, you don't DESERVE to be pummeled, but you wouldn't be entirely blameless for it either. And that's why we don't go around insulting people and making personal attacks, because we don't want to piss off the crazies." - And Doctor Biobrain's Response Is...: 12:21 AM

While I don't agree with every last word either of 'em said in their comments, both of 'em spoke to me, even though--coincidentally--they were both actually talking to Donald.

There is no reason why Donalde should have a blog devoted to refudiating everything he says... Why should anyone care? Why should I treat him as though he's worthy of that kind of attention? Why should I bother with what he says or thinks about me or anything else, when it's clear that the people who value his opinions are people I don't give a damned about in the first place...

Stogie's right, but Donalde isn't the only one reacting to the other like Pavlov's dog... I was doing it, too, responding here to every mention of my name there, pretty much on sight...

Bio's right... Debating Donalde and dealing with his lies and ever-shifting hypocrisies is like counting grains of sand... Wet sand. In the snow. With gale force winds.
And when you come right down to it, it serves no legitimate purpose. Why wallow in the mud and slime with this clod? "...you both get dirty, but only the pig likes it."

I'd rather accentuate the positive, thanks... ...and it's time I start...

So, though Donald Douglas seemingly won't listen to 'em, I will.

The fact is, I want no part of it, anymore...

I'm done.

If this is what Donalde wants to call "winning," he can have it, with all the blessings and good wishes I can muster...
Maybe my leaving the dance floor will indirectly curtail Donald's hateful tango of derision, distraction and destruction... (It takes two, you know... Even if Donald's still not willing to stop, finding a new dance partner stupid and pig-headed enough to take over for me will take time...)
---

Here's what I'm intending, at least right now...

The. Blog. Stays. Up.

That's a promise I won't go back on. I'm a stickler for the written record, besides, so it just makes sense... I'll probably adjust a few things... ...and maybe even repurpose the place, perhaps... We shall see... (Unless/until I do repurpose the place or whatever, the other authors continue to be free to post as they wish... Any topic--even the one I'm giving up on, even. (As always, I only speak for myself. They can post as they please, according to their own consciences.)--whenever and however they wish...)

The one exception to my declaration above is this legal business... I'll continue to discuss that here and wherever else necessary, online or off, for as long as it's a going concern, but once it's gone, so is Donald Douglas, man and myth, as a topic of my blogging. (And Donald... If you secretly have even the slightest misgivings about calling your congressman, the police, & who-knows-who-fuck-all over blog comments, I'm offering you an easy, blame-free (blame-me) way out... Say you're stopping because it's unnecessary, seeing as how I gave in, defeated... It's all up to you, Bud, and I won't call you out... You'll never get a better opportunity to slink out of such a stupid, crazy, bone-headed, CRAZY (and did I say crazy?) f@ck%ng move, without even having to admit either fault or failure. If I was you, I'd think about it.)

That isn't to say I won't discuss the same topics as him, or even quote and cite American Power, sometimes... But to the extent that it's possible, I'll avoid mentioning his name, or discussing him, personally. (While my phrasing may seem a tad weaselly, I don't much go in for absolute statements and zero tolerance policies... There are circumstances that would warrant my talking about Donald personally--especially given the current situation--and I'm not going to swear to do / not do something that could at some later point turn out to be unreasonable.)

In true Donalde Kent Douglas fashion though, he is now and forevermore BANNED!!! from commenting on any/all blogs under my control... No whining, threats or fretting... All future submissions disappeared on sight, without further notice or comment. Persona non grata, gone-a, goodbye...
---

That's it, least as far as I can think of just now...

Given the intended finality of this post and it's subject, I reserve the right to revise and extend my remarks as needed, for a reasonable slice of the future... (whatever that means...), and to bump this post topwards whenever I feel it needs it... ...at least until the (possible) repurposing of AmNi... Folks who drop by later have a right to know why the posts dried up...

So congratulations Donald... You "won"... Commence declaring victory.
I'll be... ...well... ...somewhere else, and likely having more fun than you.

Criminalizing the Internet - The Ongoing Saga

2012-02-06T10:00:00.000-05:00

A repository of the laws being cited by Donald Kent Douglas, ~~in his attempts to legally bar me from responding to his posts~~ (and teach me a lesson about daring to oppose him, of course)...((and with this, on 2/8/12, only the latter remains as a viable motive.)) ...and my responses to them. (The reason(s) each law doesn't apply to our situation is emboldened. Newest additions at the top...)

All this, because I submitted comments to posts at his moderated American Power blog (often, posts where he attacks me by name) against his wishes... Yeesh... (That and because he disagrees with me politically... Can't forget that...)
---

Added Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 6:30 AM (PDST):

Today's offering, "American Power: Intent to Annoy and the Fascist Hate-Blogging Campaign of Walter James Casper III," wasn't so much a citation of law as an "If I Were King Of The Internets" statement. On some level, I'd probably prefer that the law said whatever I needed it to for me to smite my enemies, too... ...but that's just not how the world works...

Even in today's post though, there's this, cited from HaltAbuse.org:

First, you need to determine whether or not what you're experiencing is truly harassment.

Harassment consists of the intentional crossing of your emotional or physical safety boundaries. You must have boundaries set in place clearly in order for that to apply. The legal definition of harassment, according to Black's Law Dictionary, is:
"A course of conduct directed at a specific person that causes substantial emotional distress in such person and serves no legitimate purpose" or "Words, gestures, and actions which tend to annoy, alarm and abuse (verbally) another person."
This is of course a very broad definition, which state and federal legislation and common law have narrowed and refined in various ways. However, for our purposes, WHOA defines online harassment as any actions that meet the qualifications of the above definition after the harasser has been told to cease.

If someone simply disagrees with you, however strongly or unpleasantly, that isn't harassment. Someone who sends you a single email message that isn't overtly threatening probably hasn't harassed you. Spam, while very annoying, isn't harassment. And messages posted to any open venue, such as a newsgroup, a web-based board, an AOL discussion forum or a chat room, are seldom truly harassing unless they're forged to appear to come from you or contain direct threats or libelous statements. The same goes for things said on someone else's web site. Harassment usually involves repeated communications via email or some sort of instant messaging program after the harasser has clearly been told to go away.

My records indicate I sent three e-mails to Dr Douglas' blog e-mail address, all of which were more or less on topic, and only after reading this invitation: "Comments are closed. Readers who'd like to comment may reply to me by e-mail (at my Blogger profile) and I'll add comments in updates to this post." Everything else have been comments submitted to his "open venue" blog, intending that they be posted publicly, and did not contain any threats or libelous statements.

Below as posted 2/6/12, 10:00 AM (...mostly... I think I made a few grammatical edits and definitely link additions, since...)
From: American Power: Federal Investigation of Walter James Casper III Could Involve Civil Rights Abuses, Monday, February 6, 2012, 7:00 AM (PDST)

Federal statute 47 U.S.C. 223 prohibits anonymous harassment on the Internet and general harassment with the intent to annoy. As one writer indicates:
Ok, let me put this in plain English for you, using the language of section 223 itself:

Anybody who uses the Internet to post or email any comment, request, suggestion, proposal, image, or other communication which is obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, or indecent, with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass another person has just committed a Federal crime, for which they can be imprisoned, fined, or both.

(Note: the terms "lewd", "lascivious", "filthy", and "indecent" were struck from the law subsequent to this blogger's opinion piece from 2006. Not that anything I submitted to Dr. Douglas' American Power blog was lewd, lascivious, filthy, or indecent, either...)

There has been no obscene content, and no intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass anyone. I submitted generally on-topic comments to a moderated blog.

Just to be clear, the rest of 47 U.S.C. 223:

(B) by means of a telecommunications device knowingly—
(i) makes, creates, or solicits, and
(ii) initiates the transmission of,
any comment, request, suggestion, proposal, image, or other communication which is obscene or child pornography, knowing that the recipient of the communication is under 18 years of age, regardless of whether the maker of such communication placed the call or initiated the communication;

Nope, for what should be obvious reasons...

(C) makes a telephone call or utilizes a telecommunications device, whether or not conversation or communication ensues, without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person at the called number or who receives the communications;

Nope... no anonymity, and no intent... (also read legal opinions that say a computer is not covered under "telecommunications device," unless one is using VOIP.)

(D) makes or causes the telephone of another repeatedly or continuously to ring, with intent to harass any person at the called number; or

Nope. (Do I need to explain?)

(E) makes repeated telephone calls or repeatedly initiates communication with a telecommunications device, during which conversation or communication ensues, solely to harass any person at the called number or who receives the communication; or

There has been no pattern or repetition, and no contact solely to harass. (And then there's that "telecommunications device" question, again...)

(2) knowingly permits any telecommunications facility under his control to be used for any activity prohibited by paragraph (1) with the intent that it be used for such activity,

Again, no... (Whatever Donald Douglas' claims are, he most assuredly is making them about me...)

From: American Power: Update On Big Talking Harassment-Blogger Capt. Fogg of 'Human Voices', Sunday, February 5, 2012, 1:00 AM (PDST)

US Code 18 Section 2261A:

Whoever--

(1) travels in interstate or foreign commerce or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, or enters or leaves Indian country, with the intent to kill, injure, harass, or place under surveillance with intent to kill, injure, harass, or intimidate another person, and in the course of, or as a result of, such travel places that person in reasonable fear of the death of, or serious bodily injury to, or causes substantial emotional distress to that person, a member of the immediate family (as defined in section 115) of that person, or the spouse or intimate partner of that person; or

(2) with the intent--

(A) to kill, injure, harass, or place under surveillance with intent to kill, injure, harass, or intimidate, or cause substantial emotional distress to a person in another State or tribal jurisdiction or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States; or

(B) to place a person in another State or tribal jurisdiction, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, in reasonable fear of the death of, or serious bodily injury to--

(i) that person;
(ii) a member of the immediate family (as defined in section 115 [1] of that person; or
(iii) a spouse or intimate partner of that person;

uses the mail, any interactive computer service, or any facility of interstate or foreign commerce to engage in a course of conduct that causes substantial emotional distress to that person or places that person in reasonable fear of the death of, or serious bodily injury to, any of the persons described in clauses (i) through (iii) of subparagraph (B); [2] shall be punished as provided in section 2261 (b) of this title.

This one seems pretty obvious... there has been no travel, and/or no intent to to kill, injure, harass, place anyone under surveillance, or cause anyone substantial emotional distress, by any means.

ALSO:

§ 223. OBSCENE OR HARASSING TELEPHONE CALLS IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA OR IN INTERSTATE OR FOREIGN COMMUNICATIONS
(a) Prohibited acts generally

Whoever—
(1) in interstate or foreign communications—
(A) by means of a telecommunications device knowingly—
(i) makes, creates, or solicits, and
(ii) initiates the transmission of,
any comment, request, suggestion, proposal, image, or other communication which is obscene or child pornography, with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass another person...

No obscenity or child pornography, and no intent...

SEC. 5. Section 653m of the California Penal Code

a. Every person who, with intent to annoy, telephones or makes contact by means of an electronic communication device with another and addresses to or about the other person any obscene language or addresses to the other person any threat to inflict injury to the person or property of the person addressed or any member of his or her family, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Nothing in this subdivision shall apply to telephone calls or electronic contacts made in good faith.

b. Every person who makes repeated telephone calls or makes repeated contact by means of an electronic communication device with intent to annoy another person at his or her residence, is, whether or not conversation ensues from making the telephone call or electronic contact, guilty of a misdemeanor. Nothing in this subdivision shall apply to telephone calls or electronic contacts made in good faith.

c. Every person who makes repeated telephone calls or makes repeated contact by means of an electronic communication device with the intent to annoy another person at his or her place of work is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year, or by both the fine and imprisonment. Nothing in this subdivision shall apply to telephone calls or electronic contacts made in good faith.

Aside from the jurisdictional issues, (see below), there has been no intent to annoy or repeated contact, and no obscene language or threat to inflict injury to person or property.

From: American Power: California Penal Code Section 646.9 on Criminal Harassment and Cyberstalking: Statement of Warning to Hate-Blogger Walter James Casper III, Friday, January 27, 2012, 9:45 PM (PDST)

SEC. 4. Section 646.9 of the California Penal Code is amended to read:

646.9.

a. Any person who willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly follows or harasses another person and who makes a credible threat with the intent to place that person in reasonable fear for his or her safety, or the safety of his or her immediate family, is guilty of the crime of stalking, punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year or by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment, or by imprisonment in the state prison.
b. Any person who violates subdivision (a) when there is a temporary restraining order, injunction, or any other court order in effect prohibiting the behavior described in subdivision (a) against the same party, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years.
c. Every person who, having been convicted of a felony under this section, commits a second or subsequent violation of this section shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years.
d. In addition to the penalties provided in this section, the sentencing court may order a person convicted of a felony under this section to register as a sex offender pursuant to subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 290.
e. For the purposes of this section, "harasses" means a knowing and willful course of conduct directed at a specific person that seriously alarms, annoys, torments, or terrorizes the person, and that serves no legitimate purpose. This course of conduct must be such as would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress, and must actually cause substantial emotional distress to the person.
f. For purposes of this section, "course of conduct" means a pattern of conduct composed of a series of acts over a period of time, however short, evidencing a continuity of purpose. Constitutionally protected activity is not included within the meaning of "course of conduct."
g. For the purposes of this section, "credible threat" means a verbal or written threat, including that performed through the use of an electronic communication device, or a threat implied by a pattern of conduct or a combination of verbal, written, or electronically communicated statements and conduct made with the intent to place the person that is the target of the threat in reasonable fear for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family and made with the apparent ability to carry out the threat so as to cause the person who is the target of the threat to reasonably fear for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family. It is not necessary to prove that the defendant had the intent to actually carry out the threat. The present incarceration of a person making the threat shall not be a bar to prosecution under this section.
h. For purposes of this section, the term "Electronic communication device" includes, but is not limited to, telephones, cellular phones, computers, video recorders, fax machines, or pagers. "Electronic communication" has the same meaning as the term defined in Subsection 12 of Section 2510 of Title 18 of the United States Code.

Aside from the jurisdictional issues--alleged crimes are committed where the alleged criminal is, not where the alleged victim is--there have been no willful and repeated behaviors, or any credible threat with intent to place anyone in fear for his/her safety. Rather, we're talking about non-threatening, on-topic comments submitted to a public blog for moderator approval.

"And you might be careful about sponsoring your workplace attacks against me at this blog. You, as the admin, published calls to contact my employers, and that's called "tortious interference" with someone's work, and a judge recently ruled against a blogger in Minnesota. My lawyer raised the references, so we're on to you, and you are not on sound legal ground. And no, you haven't been contacted, because I never claimed I was going to contact you or have law enforcement contact you. The point is that you ARE on the radar and what you are doing is wrong. And you keep doing it, against your own interests. So, WISE UP, idiot ASFL. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMMENT AND HARASS ME IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY REPORTING ON YOUR PROGRESSIVE CAMPAIGNS OF HATE." - American Nihilist: Pizza and The Same Old Douglas Whine, September 22, 2011, 12:28 AM

"I read up on this "tortious interference" business... With all respect due your fine lawyer, I'm pretty sure you must suffer some visible harm (like for instance, being fired as a result of something I myself posted) before you can make any such claim against me.

Specifically (from the link above, and with particular attention to numbers 3 and 5 in the first case, and 1-3 in the second):

To establish a claim for tortious interference of contract, a plaintiff must show: (1) the existence of a contract; (2) knowledge of the contract; (3) intentional procurement of the contract’s breach; (4) absence of justification; and (5) damages caused by the breach. Similarly, a claim for tortious interference with prospective advantage requires a showing that: (l) the defendant intentionally and improperly interfered with the prospective contractual relation, (2) causing pecuniary harm resulting from loss of the benefits of the relation, and (3) the interference either induced or otherwise caused a third person not to enter into or continue the prospective relation or prevented the continuance of the prospective relation...." - American Nihilist: Pizza and The Same Old Douglas Whine September 22, 2011 1:25 PM

~~American Power: California Penal Code Section 653m on Criminal Harassment With Intent to Annoy: Report on Unwanted Illegal Contacts by Fascist Hate-Blogger Walter James Casper III~~.

I have it on extremely good and virtually unimpeachable authority that CA law enforcement has zero interest in what two bloggers (or at the very least, these particular two bloggers) say or do to or about each other on their respective blogs, including in/at their comment sections. The elements of the crime(s) have not been met, and CA has no jurisdiction over a NY blogger. NY and CA lawyers (the latter, a specialist in internet defamation/harassment/stalking/??? cases--and a real ambulance chaser... He's trying to convince me I have a case.) concur. (And for the record, IN really doesn't want me, either... Sometimes I wonder whether NY even cares...)

Maybe I'll have more to say about it all in future, but then again, maybe I won't... (It didn't deserve the attention it's already gotten...) ((OTOH, I mighta said more now, if I didn't have someplace I had to be...))

Thanks for the support, dear readers... (...all three or four of you...including the Berlusconi troll, even...) You folks is OK... ...for nihilist henchmen, anyway...

Donald Seeks Death Penalty for Gary Ruppert

And likely for much of the internet. Enabling blogsite owners to bring civil or criminal action against anyone posting dissenting comments on their blogs has to be the very definition of frivolous lawsuit. Donald indicates the Long Beach PD has taken his complaints seriously. If that is the case then either their officers have never read blogs or there is a lack of real crime in the Long Beach area.

Not really sure what Don's beef is with Reppy. Truth and I are content to merely walk by and laugh at Donald as if he were the mental and moral equivalent of the elephant man. Repsac actually stops and tries to help him by pointing out the fallacies in his thinking, his bigotry and just general wrongheadedness. The three of us all were commenters at AmPow a few years back. We all went there to engage in debate in good faith. At that time Donald's profile indicated that he encouraged debate at his blog. That, I suppose, has changed and he no longer encourages debate. If the situation is now that he encourages only sycophantic agreement then why bother with comments.

I believe my falling out over there was around the time he accused Libby Spencer of cheering the use of women with Down's Syndrome as suicide bombers. I do remember agreeing with the hoi polloi over there to the extent that she had worded what she said badly. And yes, at that time Donald actually had regular commenters and I got jumped on pretty good by them in pushing the insane notion that Libby was for this barbarity. That was also around the time he started referring to anyone who disagreed as a nihilist, communist, socialist or whatever other epithet popped into his head.

I would think that here in the lovely Empire State we are a little out of LBPD's jurisdiction. But, of course, the Google police are everywhere (like the Dream Police). So if the Google authorities decide we've overstepped the bounds of internet etiquette (does it exist?) then maybe we'll be forced to close shop here. Can't believe it wouldn't put a real chill on the rest of the web if we were silenced over the softballs we toss at Don here, though.

If I were Donald I might worry more about our Googly overlords taking a look at the Erin Andrews affair or some of the slanderous comments he's made toward some of his former comrades in the conservative movement. Those who live in glass houses yadda yadda. Guess we'll all stay tuned.

Donald Douglas Abuses His Google

2012-01-27T20:53:00.000-05:00

A comment (revised and extended) in reply to the following two lines at the American Power post Oops! MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Spews Hatred of American Exceptionalism: Racist Attack Blogger Walter James Casper III Caught Lying Again! (I have previously--and will again in more detail--address the main points of the post, regarding me, Rachel Maddow, and American exceptionalism, but first, this.):

"And racist hate-blogger Walter James Casper is now in likely violation of Google's terms of use. He is banned from commenting here and he is abusing his Google privileges. I am now approving all of hate-blogger Walter James Casper's comments and submitting them to Google as a record of the harassment."
---

There is no "term of use" that forbids anyone from submitting comments to any blogspot blog, and I find it awful hard to believe that anyone at Google is going to reprimand a person for one for one comments in response to posts where that person is called out by name, no matter how vociferously the blog owner asserts his right to malign a person at his blog without being called on it at that same blog. (I'm willing to bet I could submit a comment or two in response to every post at this blog, and Google still would not act--Dr. Douglas should consider himself lucky I only submit comments to some of the posts where he attacks me by name.)

That said, if Google does agree with Dr. Douglas, and contacts me pointing out the term I am violating, I will most certainly stop doing so. I suspect, however, that should Google respond to Dr. Douglas' specious "Mommy, he's making faces at me!! Make him STOP!!!" pleas at all, it will be to tell Dr. Douglas that he ought to grow up and stop whining. One cannot throw the first punch, and then scurry to hide behind his mother's skirt complaining about the return punch.

And seeing as he intends to approve of my comments, anyway, perhaps Dr. Douglas would be so brave as to not delete the comment sections on posts mentioning me--or maybe, just not moderate his blog in the first place. (though the latter'd prolly take more guts than Dr. D. has, anymore... Golly forbid folks actually disagree with him on his own blog...)

Say hi to our Google overlords for me... ...and thanks for approving my comments...
---

Submitted AND APPROVED January 27, 2012 5:53 PM (because Donald apparently intends to use the comments I submit to his blog and that he allows through moderation to "prove" to law enforcement that I am harassing him... I shit you not.)
---

Since this comment...:

Donald Douglas: A man named Walter James Casper III used to be a commenter on my blog years ago. He became obsessed and abusive and started an entire blog to attack me personally and to threaten me with harassment. His co-bloggers at the blog, called "American Nihilist," have contacted my workplace to complain about my blogging, trying to get me fired. These attacks are violating my free speech rights and causing me and my family personal strife and emotional duress. Walter James Casper has also sent me personal emails of a threatening nature. These are completely unsolicited, as I have never exchanged emails with him at any time. I have written about the harassment and threats at my blog and Walter James Casper claims he has a right to respond in the comment section at my blog. While I have moderated comments, or even disabled comments, Casper continues to harass me with additional attempts to comment, with threats, and by email. I will also be filing police reports and contacting my attorney about these issues. My complaint is in no way an attempt to suppress Casper's free speech rights. This is only to notify Blogger of a terms of use violation, since Casper's threats are illegal under California state law, Penal Code Section 646.9, which makes cyberstalking and online harassment a crime. Casper's Blogger profile name is "Repsac3" and this is his Blogger profile URL: http://www.blogger.com/profile/15458282944035344707. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

And, perhaps because he was rebuffed by the Google overlords, or perhaps because he's just gone a little crazy:

American Power: California Penal Code Section 646.9 on Criminal Harassment and Cyberstalking: Statement of Warning to Hate-Blogger Walter James Casper III

The full text is reposted below, but the gist is,"If you comment on my blog, I'm calling the police." (Oh, to be a fly on the wall if / when he sits down with an officer and shows him my 20-30 comments (no more than 40, surely) and three e-mails--after he instructed readers to use the e-mail, of course--addressed to his blog since the big banning on Apr 23, 2010... (Even if I submitted 40 comments in the last 21 months--which I kinda doubt--that averages out to 1.9 comments/month... That's some lame-ass harassment, if ya ask me.)Part of me thinks Dr. Douglas is smarter than to dare waste the time of law enforcement officers because I submit comments to his blog's moderation quoue against his wishes, but then there's a part of me that's pretty sure he isn't... ...or worse, that he thinks he's smart enough to try to fabricate evidence, since there is in fact, nothing legally actionable in anything I've done...) ((Stupid and pigheaded, perhaps--I know damned well that the "adult" move would be to ignore his nonsense the way pretty much everyone else does, so he left me alone the way he does the rest of his many "enemies," including the ones who actually did contact Long Beach City College about Professor Donald Kent Douglas' online antics--but surely not against any criminal or civil law...))

Remains to be seen, I guess...

American Power: California Penal Code Section 646.9 on Criminal Harassment and Cyberstalking: Statement of Warning to Hate-Blogger Walter James Casper III

Okay, this has gone on long enough.

I am herewith setting out my policy on harassment and stalking and I'm affirming for the record that I'm playing for keeps.

For some reason racist hate-blogger Walter James Casper III thinks this is all fun and games. I warned him not to comment here and that if he does comment I will approve those as a record of harassment, which I will report to Google. Casper's contacts here at this blog are unwanted and unsolicited. I am within my free speech rights to post commentary and criticism on politics and ideology. And I am particularly within my rights to identify and highlight criminally derogatory and racist speech directed against me. And thus I will continue to monitor Casper's hate blog American Nihilist. Importantly, since Casper sponsored workplace attacks against me, and since he has contacted me personally by email with threatening statements, I ceased all direct contact with him at his blog or elsewhere online. And I have also repeatedly warned Walter James Casper III not to contact me or to comment at this blog. It's all on the record.

As is within my free speech rights, I highlighted Casper's dishonesty and stupidity in an essay today: "Oops! MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Spews Hatred of American Exceptionalism: Racist Attack Blogger Walter James Casper III Caught Lying Again!"

Comments are closed at that post to prevent harassment. Casper commented at an unrelated post, against my wishes, since he is banned from commenting here. After I updated the post, Casper ignored the admonitions yet again with another comment in violation of my rights:
repsac3 said...

"Walter James Casper is now in likely violation of Google's terms of use. He is banned from commenting here and he is abusing his Google privileges. I am now approving all of hate-blogger Walter James Casper's comments and submitting them to Google as a record of the harassment."

I'll get around to the rest of Dr. Douglas' nonsense if / when I have the time, but I did want to briefly comment on this bit...

There is no "term of use" that forbids anyone from submitting comments to any blogspot blog, and I find it awful hard to believe that anyone at Google is going to reprimand a person for one for one [sic] comments in response to posts where that person is called out by name, no matter how vociferously the blog owner asserts his right to malign a person at his blog without being called on it at that same blog. (I'm willing to bet I could submit a comment or two in response to every post at this blog, and Google still would not act -- Dr. Douglas should consider himself lucky I only submit comments to some of the posts where he attacks me by name.)

That said, if Google does agree with Dr. Douglas, and contacts me pointing out the term I am violating, I will most certainly stop doing so. I suspect, however, that should Google respond to Dr. Douglas' specious "Mommy, he's making faces at me!! Make him STOP!!!" pleas at all, it will be to tell Dr. Douglas that he ought to grow up and stop whining.

Actually, there are indeed "'terms of use' that forbid" Casper from harassing me in the comments. According to Blogger's "Terms of service":
2. Proper Use. You agree that you are responsible for your own use of the Service, for any posts you make, and for any consequences thereof. You agree that you will use the Service in compliance with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations, including any laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from your country of residence and all United States export control laws.
Walter James Casper is engaged in a malicious, persistent, and willful pattern of abuse that is prohibited under California state law (see below). As such, Casper's comments here are a violation of Blogger's terms of service. Moreover, here's the statement from Google's "Reporting abuse - Blogger Help" page:
We strongly believe in freedom of expression, even if a blog contains unappealing or distasteful content or presents unpopular viewpoints. We realize this may be frustrating, and we regret any inconvenience this may cause you. In cases where contact information for the author is listed on the page, we recommend that you work directly with this person to have the content in question removed or changed.
Here are some examples of content we will not remove unless provided with a court order:

Personal attacks or alleged defamation
Parody or satire of individuals
Distasteful imagery or language
Political or social commentary
Thus, this is to inform Walter James Casper III of my effort to "work directly with this person" to stop his comments on this blog. THIS IS A FORMAL LEGAL WARNING TO CEASE AND DESIST FROM COMMENTING AT THIS BLOG. Hereafter, I will consider any new comment posted here a "personal attack" within the purview of the terms of service and I'll append the comment to this post and send it to Google as a legal complaint and report on abuse, harassment, and cyberstalking.

Here's California Penal Code Section 646.9 on Criminal Harassment and Cyberstalking:
646.9.

(a) Any person who willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly follows or harasses another person and who makes a credible threat with the intent to place that person in reasonable fear for his or her safety, or the safety of his or her immediate family, is guilty of the crime of stalking, punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year or by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment, or by imprisonment in the state prison.

(b) Any person who violates subdivision (a) when there is a temporary restraining order, injunction, or any other court order in effect prohibiting the behavior described in subdivision (a) against the same party, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years.

(c) Every person who, having been convicted of a felony under this section, commits a second or subsequent violation of this section shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three,
or four years.

(d) In addition to the penalties provided in this section, the sentencing court may order a person convicted of a felony under this section to register as a sex offender pursuant to subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 290.

(e) For the purposes of this section, "harasses" means a knowing and willful course of conduct directed at a specific person that seriously alarms, annoys, torments, or terrorizes the person, and that serves no legitimate purpose. This course of conduct must be such as would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress, and must actually cause substantial emotional distress to the person.

(f) For purposes of this section, "course of conduct" means a pattern of conduct composed of a series of acts over a period of time, however short, evidencing a continuity of purpose. Constitutionally protected activity is not included within the meaning of "course of conduct."

(g) For the purposes of this section, "credible threat" means a verbal or written threat, including that performed through the use of an electronic communication device, or a threat implied by a pattern of conduct or a combination of verbal, written, or electronically communicated statements and conduct made with the intent to place the person that is the target of the threat in reasonable fear for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family and made with the apparent ability to carry out the threat so as to cause the person who is the target of the threat to reasonably fear for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family. It is not necessary to prove that the defendant had the intent to actually carry out the threat. The present incarceration of a person making the threat shall not be a bar to prosecution under this section.

(h) For purposes of this section, the term "electronic communication device" includes, but is not limited to, telephones, cellular phones, computers, video recorders, fax machines, or pagers. "Electronic communication" has the same meaning as the term defined in Subsection 12 of Section 2510 of Title 18 of the United States Code.
See the full text here or here.

I will also report new instances of abuse and harassment to the Irvine Police Department and the Long Beach Police Department. Here is the record of harassment published previously, with one of Casper's emails warning me to "reconsider" or else: "Continuing Lies by Cowardly Hate-Blogger W. James Casper in Left's Demonic Workplace Intimidation Campaign." And American Nihilist's long pattern of abuse, intimidation, and workplace harassment is chronicled at this post as well.

The harassment stops now. Walter James Casper III has no right to comment on this blog. If he feels he has been maligned or libeled he can take proper legal recourse. I have legal representation and I am prepared to defend my free speech rights in a court of law.

And folks might weigh Ann Althouse's comments policy in relation to the policy I'm setting forth here. She writes:
I have started deleting all the comments of one of our most conspicuous commenters for reasons I am not going to discuss. I ask all of my commenters to take some extra care with your comments now. Don't be a troll and don't feed a troll. If you are a troll, I may target you for deletion next. If you feed a troll, you may soon find that your comment refers to a comment that has been deleted. Let's raise the level of discussion around here. I have many great commenters that I love having as my guests. Others are being destructive and need to stop. If you're someone I'm targeting for deletion -- and I'm deleting all your comments regardless of content -- you need to go away permanently. You are on notice that I consider you to be harassing me, and I will contact Blogger about your account if you do not desist.
Althouse is a professor of law, so she certainly knows something about harassment and stalking. And recall that Walter James Casper III has long been trolling my comments. Indeed, I went to comment moderation to help prevent his trolling. But comment moderation has not been effective, and I have had to disable comments to some posts on occasion to prevent malicious attacks. When I did that, Casper then started harassing me by email. These emails I consider personally threatening to me and my family. And as such they're considered criminal activity under California state law. Hereafter I will update this post with any comment here from Walter James Casper III, or with any other form of unwanted personal contact, and I will submit a complaint of abuse and criminal harassment to Google and to the proper legal authorities.

Walter James Casper III is hereby notified under the law.

Comments on this post are closed.

UPDATE: (1-28-12 8:20am PST) Walter Jamers Casper III is on record that he wants to be known as a criminal harasser. Here's is his comment in violation of this policy:
repsac3 said...

In reply to: California Penal Code Section 646.9 on Criminal Harassment and Cyberstalking: Statement of Warning to Hate-Blogger Walter James Casper III

Sorry, Dr. Douglas, but I will not allow you to attempt to intimidate me with specious threats. My answer now is the same as it was the last time you made this kinda noise, back in September (and probably before that too, though it ain't worth the search):

If you really believe I am in violation of any federal or state law or ISP/Google/??? term of service because I submit a comment or two to your moderated blog against your expressed wishes, often in reply to American Power blog posts where you discuss me by name, I cordially invite you to make your reports to Google, the Irvine / Long Beach police department, Homeland Security, or whoever you feel you need to.

The time has come to fish or cut bait.

January 28, 2012 4:22 AM
UPDATE: (1-28-12 8:45am PST) Here's the complaint sent through the Blogger help page:
A man named Walter James Casper III used to be a commenter on my blog years ago. He became obsessed and abusive and started an entire blog to attack me personally and to threaten me with harassment. His co-bloggers at the blog, called "American Nihilist," have contacted my workplace to complain about my blogging, trying to get me fired.

I will also be notifying the police of Walter James Casper's harassment next week.

GOP Jumps the Shark

2012-01-20T14:06:00.002-05:00

Thought I'd better put up a post before they take away the nihilist decoder ring and cut the rations of government gruel. It looks like Dr. D has been leaving Reppy alone lately so I'll try not to stir the pot too much. Just been to the AssProf's place and it's unclear which non-dark horse he's backing in the presidential race. So, I'm just going to offer some of the cogent political analysis AmNi has become famous for. And DD, if you'd like to come over and throw in your 2 cents worth (?) feel free. We always welcome debate here* and the opinion of a real live accredited political scientist would lend some real cachet. On to the analysis.

It has become apparent to this nihilist that the Republican party has officially jumped the shark, hence the title of this post. It's kind of ironic too since Mitt does bear a passing resemblence to an aging Fonzi. Have the GOP puppetmasters become so out of touch that they no longer even try to present candidates that we common clay folk would "want to have a beer with?" First off, Mitt's a Mormon so he doesn't drink anyway. Second off, he would probably order Chardonay or something else French that we can't pronounce. Obviously George Bush was even more of an aristocrat than Romney but despite his fear of horses he at least owned a ranch and wore belt buckles the size of hubcaps.

How many of us "average" Americans are going to identify with a man who socks away millions in Cayman Island accounts and is paying only 15% in taxes on his income? And he made his fortune by buying the companies most of us worked for and putting us out of work. Ironically, he has a better chance with us nihilists than he does with the Bible thumping bigots who make up the base of his party. We've got nothing against magic underwear. And if it's got a few holes and the elastic is a little stretched, better yet.

Hate to give short shrift to Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. But when your wife is being slammed by James Dobson as a whore or your name is synonomous with anal sex you're probably not getting the Republican nomination. Democratic, maybe?

I applaud this suicidal march to oblivion by the GOP. The sooner they stick a fork in their party or a stake in their hearts, the sooner we can start building a new second party as an alternative to the Democratic Party. American Nihilist Party anyone?

*Unlike some comment moderating pussies who inhabit the web.

Nihilist of the Day: Male Rape

2012-01-07T01:42:00.003-05:00

Guest Post by Doctor Biobrain

Since the beginning of time, the sole purpose of the human race was to protect Yahweh's greatest gift to man: The Female Vagina. This is because female vaginas help God help us to procreate and expand upon his creation, plus they're very very sexy. But thanks to the hard work of Commander Supreme Barack Sidney Obama and you, his loyal minions, the whole rape ballgame's gone topsy-turvy, where you can't tell the rapists from the victims and everyone will be raped for at least fifteen minutes.

That's right. Obama has decreed the new existence of Male Rape. So strap on your strap-ons and hope you're the one who ends up on top, because it'll sure be a lot more fun than the other way around.

For Over Eighty Years

As Official Obama mouthpiece TPM says:

On Friday, the Justice Department did something it hasn’t done since 1929: it changed the definition of rape.

For over 80 years, for the purposes of crime collection data, rape was defined as forcible male penile penetration of a female. This excluded a vast number of sexual crimes including oral and anal penetration, or instances when a victim was unable to give consent. The new definition makes up for these oversights. It also expands the definition to reflect that anyone — male, female, or transgender — can be a victim of rape.

Holy crapshoot, Batman! By these standards, not only can two people rape each other simultaneously, but a transgendered individual could actually rape itself. And if the idea of that isn't warming the heart of your shriveled little nihilist penis, I don't know what will.

And what's the purpose of this? Why now? Wouldn't it be safer to go all buck wild on the norms of society after Obama outlaws democracy and orders the slaughter of all Methodists? Yes, it definitely would. But once Obama unleashes his Kenyan Rape Crews upon an unsuspecting nation next Election Day, this will probably make a lot more sense to you. After all, you're not really the victim if they're screaming louder than you; at least not according to this new regulation.

And that is why we've awarded Male Rape as the Nihilist of the Day, because Supreme Commander Obama ordered us to; and that's a good thing. In honor of this momentous occasion, gruel rations will be cut in half for the foreseeable future. Nihilism Forever!

Whose Precipitous Withdrawal From Iraq?

2012-01-05T22:48:00.000-05:00

American Power: Obama's Precipitous Withdrawal: Dozens Killed in Bomb Attacks Amid Iraq's Political Crisis

"The Iraqi Parliament has passed a US-backed security agreement and a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), which calls for the removal of all US troops from Iraq by December 31, 2011." - Iraq Status of Forces Agreement

"In one of his final acts in office, President Bush in December of 2008 had signed a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) with the Iraqi government that set the clock ticking on ending the war he’d launched in March of 2003. The SOFA provided a legal basis for the presence of U.S. forces in Iraq after the United Nations Security Council mandate for the occupation mission expired at the end of 2008. But it required that all U.S. forces be gone from Iraq by January 1, 2012, unless the Iraqi government was willing to negotiate a new agreement that would extend their mandate. And as Middle East historian Juan Cole has noted, ”Bush had to sign what the [Iraqi] parliament gave him or face the prospect that U.S. troops would have to leave by 31 December, 2008, something that would have been interpreted as a defeat… Bush and his generals clearly expected, however, that over time Washington would be able to wriggle out of the treaty and would find a way to keep a division or so in Iraq past that deadline.” - Read more: Iraq's Government, in an Agreement Signed by Former President Bush, Called Time on US Military Presence in Iraq

Donald Douglas... Dishonest as the day is long...

First Dishonest Donald Douglas Came For The Hominids, Now It's Anti-Semitic Cephalopods

2012-01-02T19:19:00.008-05:00

(Or--with thanks and credit to Carl, below-- "If SASQUATCH ISREAL, OCTOPOD ISNAZI?")
---

When people say Dishonest Donald Douglas makes shit up out of whole cloth to attack his many enemies, this is the kind of thing they're talking about:

American Power: 'Occupy' Crashes Rose Parade: Attacks 'Corporate Greed' With 70-Foot Nazi-Era Octopus Depicting Global Jewish Conspiracy

Yeah, right... A Nazi-era Global Jewish Conspiracy Octopus...

And of course, because the ACTUAL float Octopus didn't depict what he wanted it to, Dishonest Donald finds a photo of a "nazi-era, global jewish conspiracy octopus" that does, and pretends that any use of an octopus in political rhetoric means the same as that one. Classic.

The Occupy folks who built and ran the float say their octopus represents "Wall Street's stranglehold on political, cultural and social life, with tentacles "that reach into your pocket to get your money and a tentacle to get your house," so to believe that the Rose Bowl float represents some anti-Semitic sentiment, one would have to believe that Wall Street is run by the Jews. Does that mean that Dishonest Donald Douglas is an anti-Semite, or did he just not think through the implications of his bullshit slimy accusations?

I leave it for the reader to decide.

For any who've forgotten, another classic "anti-Semitic" tall tale from Dishonest Donald Douglas:

"Then turning around, I saw this kid yacking it up for the crowd, obviously having a blast with this ugly Jew-hating sign. And what does that mean, "SASQUATCH ISRAEL"? This is a play on the "legitimacy myth" of Israel's existence. As there's of course a "Sasquatch myth," it's worth noting the implied comparison: that Israel is also an ape-like beast existing only in historical folklore. Absent legitimacy, Israel has "no right to exist." This kid's sign is but one more example of eliminationist anti-Semitism. And look at how overjoyed he is in boasting this hatred. Creepy."

Yeah, Dishonest Don... Creepy (and more than a little disgusting) that you would invent some myth where Sasquatch represents Israel, and that both are mythical ape-like beasts, in an effort to smear folks you disagree with politically.

And that "anti-Semitic, Jew-hating" kid?:

Yeah, that's him...

I rest my case.

Now with it's own memeorandum link (Note Dishonest Donald Douglas' "anti-Seeeeemite" meme being picked up and echoed by his fellow travelers and "anti-jihad" blogger bigots... Is anyone surprised?)

Dishonest Hate-Blogger Donald Douglas' Lash-outs/Lies Of The Day for Saturday, December 31, 2011, Part 2

Continued from American Nihilist: Dishonest Hate-Blogger Donald Douglas' Lash-outs/Lies Of The Day for Saturday, December 31, 2011, Part 1, discussing Dishonest Donald Douglas' year-end post American Power: Hate-Blogger Walter James Casper III and Progressive Evil: Denial of Israel-Hatred Enables Exterminationist Anti-Semitism (Yeah, there's a little overlap between Part 1 and Part 2, to keep the flow.)
***

Readers can Google Casper's Jew-hating stalker blog at "American Nihilist." In response to being pinned down like an Nazi camp guard, Walter James Casper writes:
According to Dishonest Donald Douglas, it's irrelevant that one has never spoken ill of Jewish people. All it takes to be a Jew-hating anti-Semite is to endorse a movement at which a few individuals--either members of the general public, or in a few cases, longer term activists--have said some pretty horrible things about Jews. Your own words and actions are not what matter; if one member of your group says or does something shameful, every member of your group is responsible for those shameful words or deeds. I'm sure all of those adulterous, pedophiliac, white supremacist Republicans--including our own Dishonest Donald Douglas, of course--are down with Donald's belief in collective group guilt, as opposed to individual responsibility, for bad words and deeds.

First off... "pinned down like a Nazi camp guard"? Really, Dishonest Don? (Talk about apoplectic... ...to say nothing of Godwin's Law...)

I have to shake my head at this, for the denial here is by definition a clinical condition. But to reiterate, Walter James Casper is lying. To keep up a wicked facade holding that Occupy is some wonderful movement full of hope and beauty, racist Walter James Casper must spew lies about how it's just a "few individuals" who are fomenting hate.

You'll note that Dishonest Donald doesn't address the argument above--rather, he just labels it "denial," and pretends he's actually said anything. (This "denial" ruse is one of Donald's classics... He seems to think denying something he asserts "proves" one isn't thinking clearly or something. It doesn't matter if what he's asserted isn't actually true, or if he hasn't offered any evidence in support of his assertion--either of which would be great reasons to deny his assertions... Donald seems to take the denial as some kinda proof that he's right... I don't really understand it--(other than as a means to avoid confronting the argument against his assertion, I mean; this accusation of "denial," in place of an actual response is the usual pattern)--but then I'm not Dishonest Donald Douglas... I'm sure it makes perfect sense to him...

Again, Dishonest Donald believes that guilt is collective--that is, you are responsible for every word or deed that comes from any member of your group. If any occupier is an anti-Semite, EVERY occupier is an anti-Semite. If any anti-abortion protester murders a doctor, EVERY anti-abortion protester is guilty of that murder (morally, if not legally). It's irrelevant that YOU never said or did one anti-Semitic or murderous thing, says Dishonest Donald; If you are a member of the group, and the actual guilty party is a member of the group, you are nevertheless guilty. From where I'm standing, that's fucked up bigoted thinking, and Dishonest Donald would do well to at least try to answer for it...

The problem for Dishonest Donald is that it is just a few individuals at occupy protests making anti-Semitic statements and otherwise causing trouble. The movement is neither anti-Semitic or "full of hope and beauty," and unlike Dishonest Donald, I never suggested it was either. (That he accuses me of doing so is just another of his lies.) There are bad individuals making bad statements, and there are good individuals fighting for better conditions for the whole of the American people. I believe the good outweigh the bad, in part by actually watching the videos and looking at the pictures the right offers as evidence of this anti-Semitism. They generally have one guy making bigoted statements, and the rest of the crowd paying little attention, if not actually challenging the bigot. If the Occupy movement actually was built or sustained by anti-Semitism, there would be more folks holding the signs and making the statements, and more onlookers voicing their agreement. That is not what the photos and videos show, however... For every bigoted sign, there are twenty or thirty talking about the economy, jobs, getting corporate money out of politics and reducing the effect of lobbyists, etc. Both in the Occupy movement and in the Tea Party, the hateful folks are the outliers, not the base, and it is the individuals who are responsible, not the whole of either movement. (I will grant that the Tea Party does a better job of keeping their bigots out of sight and limiting exposure to them when they do crop up (even when they are caught, the go-to excuse is that they're "plants" of the left, and the Tea Party would never... But there are a whole lot of videos, pictures and news stories that show the Tea Party does have their bigots, as well.)

But truth is difficult to face when your whole ideological program is based on hatred, demonization, intimidation, and harassment.

The truth is difficult to face when you do nothing but make unsubstantiated assertions, as well. If my "whole ideological program is based on hatred, demonization, intimidation, and harassment," Dishonest Donald would have no trouble finding and quoting evidence of his assertions about me. That he consistently fails to even try to do so, speaks volumes.

Racist Walter James Casper cannot argue away the facts, so he denies them. This tendency is in fact a clinical pathology, as Dr. Pat Santy has indicated:
Denial can make otherwise intelligent individuals/groups/nations behave in a stupid or clueless manner, because they are too threatened by the Truth and are unable to process what is perfectly apparent to everyone. People who live in this Wonderful World go through their daily lives secure in the knowledge that their self-image is protected against any information, feelings, or awareness that might make them have to change their view of the world. Nothing--and I mean NOTHING--not facts, not observable behavior; not the use of reason or logic; or their own senses will make an individual in denial reevaluate that world view. All events will simply be reinterpreted to fit into the belief system of that world -- no matter how ridiculous, how distorted, or how psychotic that reinterpretation appears to others. Consistency, common sense, reality, and objective truth are unimportant and are easily discarded--as long as the world view remains intact.
It is, of course, "perfectly apparent to everyone" that Occupy Wall Street pushes a program predicated on hatred of Jews. And so for the epic hate merchant Walter James Caspser, he must distort reality to shoehorn into a deranged and hateful ideological belief system, progressivism.

Dishonest Don is lying, again. I have not denied that there are individuals who have said bigoted things at Occupy protests, as Dishonest Donald and his fellow travelers have shown. What I deny is what they assert without showing; that all Occupiers are responsible for those incidents, and that anti-Semitism is at the heart of the Occupy movement. As for the denial bit, it applies as much or as little to Dishonest Don as it does to me... I mean, isn't he denying that the evidence he's offering fails to make his case? Why, one wonders, is it ok for him to issue denials of my statements, but evidence of some kind of pathology when I say he is wrong? The answer, of course, is Dishonest Donald does not believe in judging himself by the same standards by which he judges others. His denials are completely different than mine, because he made them. And like I said above, this whole "denial" thing is a ruse Dishonest Don uses when he wants to avoid answering uncomfortable questions.

"perfectly apparent to everyone" Just more band-wagoneering. "Join up... Only fools don't agree with me..."

No thanks, Dishonest Don... You're going to have to actually make your case before people will believe it. They're not so stupid as you believe...

Last night I posted on the comment boards from the Occupy Wall Street homepage: "Occupy Wall Street: 'F**k Israel'." As is often the case, the administrators post a disclaimer that such views are "not official" --- and one can see why. When your core constituency exhibits a fanatical hatred of Israel you'd want to post as many disclaimers as possible.

Of course, another interpretation is that individuals actually do speak for themselves, rather than represent some "core constituency," or "group." Individuals are responsible for their own thoughts and actions. They are not responsible for what others in their group do or say, and do not represent any individual or group other than themselves when they speak or act. Why this is so hard a concept for Dishonest Donald Douglas to understand is beyond me, but he pretty regularly blames one or more other folks for actions taken by one individual. Collective guilt for individual action is a bullshit concept.

And besides... If Dishonest Donald Douglas' assertions were correct, wouldn't his supposed "anti-semitic" movement WELCOME the posting of such beliefs, and lay claim to them, themselves? Donald is simultaneously trying to claim the movement is openly anti-semitic AND that they do everything possible to disavow and hide their "obvious" anti-Semitism. His argument doesn't hold water...

Here's Urban Infidel, who covered Occupy Wall Street on the ground in New York City:
I went back to Zucotti Square yesterday because David Crosby and Graham Nash were going to perform and since I had the afternoon free I figured I'd head down to check out the absurd scenery. I missed the show but found something else: the Left's total hatred of Israel and probably Jews. Now, it's never been a secret but to see it openly and unchecked on full display was disturbing.
And it should be disturbing. That kind of rampant hatred is unnatural. But Walter James Casper is down with it. He endorsed it and when called out he's twisted himself into pretzels of lies and distortions to avoid his responsibility.

I can't say what Urban Infidel saw, but his blog post shows four people spouting anti-Semitic intolerance. One sounded more like a Ron Paul supporter and a conspiracy theorist than a liberal. (It sure didn't look to me like that guy made his own clothes from crops and technologies sprung from the Earth...) There were easily 50 people in view in UI's pictures and videos. The jewish people who these nuts were arguing with seemed to be Occupy supporters. (There were at least 2, self-identified. No way to tell how many more there were, due to the lack of Nazi-like stars on their clothing. Again, judging by the Nazi allusions Dishonest Donald has at least twice made-- the post I'm replying to, and here--you'd think there would be stars... But no Dishonest Donald, there are no stars. Apparently, the yellow stars are reserved for these obvious anti-Semites ...or is that somehow different?)

Let's just say it one more time. Dishonest Donald Douglas is basing his whole anti-Semitic smear on a small number of people, and on the idea of collective guilt for individual action. He is basing his argument that I'm an anti-Semite on one tweet in support of the Occupy movement. (In both cases, the hate Dishonest Donald Douglas feels for those who don't believe what he believes is pretty evident, as well. That is his motivation.)

***
1/2/12, 1:15 AM: Another break. Being exposed to this much Dishonest Donald nonsense in one sitting isn't healthy... Perhaps I'll be back to address more later. The remainder of Dishonest Donald Douglas' epic post of dishonesty and hate appears below)
***

Photo-journalist El Marco traveled to New York in November and published an epic report. Included is coverage of the progressive Jew hatred documented by Urban Infidel and so many others. Here's El Marco's description of what's going on at the picture below:
A gay, Jewish civil servant, on left, reacts in horror to the comments of this sign-carrying radical Israel-hating non-Jewish Jew. The man with the sign supports Hamas and other Jewicidal groups, and I also photographed him surrounded by muslim men and women who were delighted by his anti-Israel exhortations.

I can already hear racist Repsac's desperate bleats of denial. But the truth hurts. And we fight the left's lies because they facilitate extreminationism.

To continue, here's the statement from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, "The “Occupy Movement” Must Repudiate the Anti-Semites in Their Ranks":
With a big and sustained boost from the Media, the Occupy Wall Street Movement has gone global. Beyond Los Angeles’ sustained presence outside of City Hall, the anger and angst is being heard in over a hundred cities, with protesters as far away as Italy and Japan adding their disaffected voices.

Unfortunately, the hateful fringe of the Movement is now also coast-to-coast, though you might not know it from the mainstream media. Today’s hate propaganda from the New York protests has gone viral. This includes placards identifying “Wall Street Jews” as “Hitler’s Bankers,” and angry shouts of “Kill/Screw Google Jews.” According to anecdotal evidence, the conspiracy banter that the 9/11 attacks were a U.S. government and/or Israeli plot is also popular among some protestors....

For almost 200 years, blaming the world’s economic woes on the Rothschilds or Wall Street or Jewish bankers has been “the socialism of fools”—and mother’s milk of every demagogue from Hitler to Henry Ford to the Internet bloggers who still insist that Goldman Sachs’s secret Zionist high-command cunningly engineered the 2008 global financial collapse. Of course, toxic hate is not the motivator of most protestors, many of whom are suffering from orsincerely concerned about real economic hardship. Yet history shows the danger of lunatic fringe ideas spreading from the periphery to the center of a tumultuous movement. And it’s not just anti-Semitism. Americans on all sides of the economic/political divide should be concerned about a New York Magazine poll showing that 34 percent of protestors already consider the U.S. government as bad as Al Qaeda.

The Tea Party, when it emerged in 2009, also attracted its own extremist fringe, as a hyper-vigilant national media was correct to quickly expose. Some of the Tea Party fringe equated Obama with Hitler and claimed that the first African American president was a Manchurian candidate with a phony birth certificate. Yet the Tea Party Movement eventually produced grassroots leaders who denounced such nonsense and repeatedly disavowed racism and racists. Though not everyone was convinced by the Tea Party’s disavowals of prejudice, millions of decent Americans who weren’t bigots voted in the 2010 elections to support the complaints and goals of the movement.

The Occupy Wall Streeters and LA’s City Hall crowd have won accolades for marrying new social network technology to bohemian garb. Its pungent invocation of 1960s hippiedom—”God Forbid We Have Sex ‘N Smoke Pot. They Want Us to Grab Guns ‘N Go to War!”—also strikes a nostalgic chord among some grey-haired pinstripers. But street theater is no substitute for the serious work of building a mass movement that can really change society for the good. America’s “Occupy Crowd” crowd likes to compare itself to Tahrir Square and the Arab Spring Movement that toppled a geriatric dictator. Alas, that Movement has largely collapsed—as Egypt slides toward political chaos or Islamic dictatorship—in part because young Egyptian protesters never learned how to move beyond demonstrating and tweeting to become a constructive social force.

If the Occupy Wall Streeters really want their movement to achieve mainstream credibility and clout, they should begin by policing their own ranks. Organizing the public sanitation in their own encampments is a start, but social and political civility must also prevail. The Occupy Movement’s leaders in LA as well as New York need to disown the purveyors of hate within their ranks. They must pull the plug on the bigots amongst them who view the slogan of fighting the detested “1 percent of fat cats” as their opportunity to mainstream the hatred of Jews.
Unfortunately, it's doubtful we'll ever see "policing the ranks." We won't see Occupy "pull the plug on the bigots" because the bigots are running the show. Yid With Lid wrote a magisterial essay in October, "The Anti-Semitic/Anti-Israel Origins of Occupy Wall Street Are Ignored by the Media." Take a few minutes to read the whole thing. It's a crushing investigation of the essential organizing hatred of Occupy Wall Street, and the essay concludes:
Over the past month there have been many comparisons between the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street Movement. Here is one comparison that the Mainstream Media will not make. The MSM worked very hard to brand the Tea Party Movement as Racist, but it wasn't. They are working just as hard to ignore the blatant Antisemitism and libelous demonization of Israel coming out of the Occupy Wall Street protests, and they are.

It is not just a few nuts within the Occupy Wall Street Movement who are bashing Israel and Jews, it is the leadership and founders, yet our President and the rest of the Democratic Party are practically tripping over their underwear in a rush to embrace these haters.
Yes, they are tipping over backward not only to "embrace these haters," but to deny that the hate is central to the movement. Ben Shapiro also wrote on this. See "The Anti-Semites of Occupy Wall Street." Like the Wiesenthal Center, Shapiro acknowledges the fringe elements, but indicates how anti-Jewish hatred is the animating ideological orientation of the global left:
Europe is a leftist continent – of that there can be little doubt. Yet anti-Semitism runs rampant through it. Socialist Spain leads the way in anti-Semitic polling, but countries like France and Austria aren’t far behind. Britain’s anti-Israel policy is cover for anti-Semitism; Germany’s post-World War II history of stamping out anti-Semitism is beginning to fade into the past. Crimes against Jews are up across Europe.

In the United States, the left is just as anti-Semitic, if less violent. Their anti-Zionist rhetoric is certainly a cover for anti-Semitism, since Zionism stands merely for the principle that Jews deserve a state. The left has no problem with anyone else having a state – Palestinian, Kurd, Tibetan. When it comes to the Jews, however, they find it respectable to reject out of hand their right to a self-governing homeland. Opposing specific policies of the Israeli government is not anti-Semitic. Opposing Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state is.

The focus on Zionism at the OWS rallies is odd, to say the least. Why should a foreign state located some 5700 miles from New York have any part in the discussion about America’s economy? The answer is simple at root: the hard left still buys into the discredited notions of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, in which Jews supposedly plotted the takeover of the world economy. Zionism, in this twisted vision, is the wellspring of that control – Jerusalem is supposedly the capital of the Jew/banker conspiracy. That sick notion pervades the rhetoric of the OWS rallies. Says one OWS rallier in Los Angeles, “I think the Zionist Jews who are running these big banks and our Federal Reserve … need to be run out of this country.” Says another in Chicago, “Israel is beginning to be seen as the criminal pariah state that it is.”

This nasty thought pattern unites both the nationalist and the internationalist hard left. The nationalist hard left – i.e. neo-Nazis and white supremacist groups, as well as many nationalist groups in Europe – see Israel as a façade for a globalist Jewish regime seeking to bring “blood-sucking” capitalism to prominence. The internationalist hard left – i.e. OWS and its ilk – see Israel as the last vestige of discredited nationalism, and Wall Street as its colonialist branch in the United States.

If OWS wants to be taken seriously as a movement, its members need to root out the anti-Semitism from their midst. Then again, that rooting out process may not be possible because of how close the cancer of anti-Semitism is to the heart of the movement. If that is the case, every responsible politician has the responsibility to disassociate from OWS. Somehow, in the case of the Obama administration, that seems unlikely, no matter how outrageous the Jew-hatred gets at OWS.
I have highlighted in bold italics that key line just above. Anti-Semitism is at the "heart of the movement."

Occupy Wall Street has pledged for 2012 an "American Spring" to bring about a revolution in the United States. It goes without saying that the "cancer of anti-Semitism" that is at "the heart of the movement" will be everywhere in evidence as the next round of protests kick off.

So, I'll close with a link to Phyllis Chesler, "An Open Letter to the 'Good Liberal' Who Ignored Occupy Wall Street's Jew Hatred." Chesler is discussing how global Jew-hatred consitutues a threat to Western civilization. And she places Occupy Wall Street smack dab, front and center, at the forefront of that program of exterminationism.

And how will Walter James Casper respond?

He'll attack Phyllis Chesler as a "bigot". He'll attack her for making "generalizations" that amount to "bigotry.' Walter James Casper will attack Ben Shapiro as a "bigot" for pointing out that Jew-hatred is the heart of Occupy Wall Street. Walter James Casper will attack Rabbi Abraham Cooper and Dr. Harold Brackman of the Simon Wiesenthal Center as "bigots" for calling out Occupy Wall Street for its toxic anti-Jewish propaganda and hatred. Walter James Casper will attack Yid With Lid as a "bigot" for exposing the top leadership of Occupy Wall Street as a raving band of Jew-hating extremists. Walter James Casper will demonize El Marco and the Urban Infidel as "bigots" for their first hand reporting on the hate at Zuccotti Park. Walter James Casper will attack Dr. Pat Santy as a "bigoted" hack for highlighting the progressive pathology of hate-based ideological denialism. And Walter James Casper will attack Jonathan Neumann of Commentary as a "bigot" for writing an essay document a nationwide movement based on eliminationist anti-Semitism.

That's right.

Walter James Casper has written an entire post attacking people for highlighting the hate. Racist Repsac3 claims, for example, "As I've said before, these kind of sweeping generalizations about whole groups of people are what lead to stereotypes and bigotry." And he continues, "When one decides to believe -- and worse propagate ... the idea that seeing a statistically small number of _______ people acting a certain way means that MOST or ALL _______ people act that way, that's bigotry."

So, all of us speaking out against the hate are "bigots" It's not the Occupiers calling for the end of Israel who are "bigots." It's the people of good will, my friends and allies cited here at the post, who are the "bigots." So, see what I mean about up is down and wrong is right? Behold true evil. It's just plain evil. And I know, to repeat, it's astonishing that one can deny the hatred that's at base of an entire movement, and it's even more astonishing to attack people as "bigots" for bringing the truth to the light of day.

But I guess you have to see it to believe it. Folks can Google Walter James Casper's hate blog "American Nihilist." I'm not linking. I long ago stopped linking that vile hate dump and attack portal.

Again, my apologies for my extra attention on these matters. But it's warranted. Walter James Casper's blog is a key repository of progressive hate and it's a documented launchpad against good and decency in the world. I will continue to highlight the deeds of the criminal stalking hate-blogger Walter James Casper III. It needs to be done. And it will be done, for the good of decency and right.

Dishonest Hate-Blogger Donald Douglas' Lash-outs/Lies Of The Day for Saturday, December 31, 2011, Part 1

2012-01-01T11:11:00.009-05:00

In one of Dishonest Donald's obsession-driven hate posts of the day from yesterday, he writes the following:

Okay, here's a year-end review on my deranged stalker, racist hate-blogger Walter James Casper III --- with a special focus on Repsac3's endorsement of elminationist Jew-hatred and anti-Israel demonization.

The fact is, all Dishonest Donald Douglas has done is to repeatedly post the same sweeping generalizations about the Occupy movement, and try to suggest that any support for the Occupy movement is anti-Semitic, based on the behavior of a relatively few individuals. He has neither made the case that Occupy as a whole is anti-Semitic, nor has he shown a single example of MY being anti-Semitic. (In fact, he's said that my own behavior on the matter is irrelevant. According to Dishonest Donald, if one Occupier is anti-Semitic, they're ALL anti-Semitic. As I've already shown, that's the very definition of bigotry.)

I know the coverage on this has been a bit much, and I apologize, but it's important to expose the program of someone who has made it his life's goal to destroy his ideological opponents. And it's especially important to expose the deception, for racist Walter James Casper is most dangerous in his campaign of lies and subversion.

At least Dishonest Donald admits his obsession with me is a bit much... That's a start...

As for destroying ideological opponents, one only need look at whose initiating these attack posts, and who's responding to them. Dishonest Donald Douglas has at the very least name-checked me in posts on his blog almost everyday since Thanksgiving, often with vile, unsubstantiated smears, all while claiming I am the obsessed aggressor. The lie he's telling is obvious, and his many attack posts--especially recently--are the evidence...

Racist Walter James Casper III has written a series of whiny butthurt posts weaselly attempting to deny his endorsement of the hate. Recall, of course, the fact that Walter James Casper endorsed Occupy Wall Street in a Twitter exhortation, "Occupy wherever you are."

I have written a number of posts in response to Dishonest Donald, rebutting his weaselly attempts to sell his propaganda about the Occupy movement and about me as anti-Semitic. His whole attack on me is based on that one tweet (and his sweeping generalization of the Occupy movement), and that one tweet alone. He has never quoted a single anti-semitic statement or "endorsement of the hate" (whatever the fuck that is) by me. The whole of his attack on me is that one tweet, and he's written somewhere in the neighborhood of a dozen posts smearing me as an anti-semite based on it. If that is not obsessively crazy dishonest bullshit, I don't know what is...

Yet as we all know, the evidence of Occupy Wall Street's hatred of Israel and the Jews is everywhere. Jonathan Neumann wrote a devastating indictment at Commentary, which left racist Walter James Casper in a fit of apoplexy and rage. See: "Occupy Wall Street and the Jews."

As we all know (nice band-wagoneering, eh?), this was my "fit of apoplexy and rage." Please note that I never once mention Jonathan Neumann or discuss his post in any way, shape or form in my reply post: And a special Merry Christmas for poor pathetic Dishonest Donald Douglas... (L-O/L of the Day for Saturday, December 24, 2011 -- UPDATED 12/26)

Readers can Google Casper's Jew-hating stalker blog at "American Nihilist." In response to being pinned down like an Nazi camp guard, Walter James Casper writes:
According to Dishonest Donald Douglas, it's irrelevant that one has never spoken ill of Jewish people. All it takes to be a Jew-hating anti-Semite is to endorse a movement at which a few individuals--either members of the general public, or in a few cases, longer term activists--have said some pretty horrible things about Jews.

I'm sure all of those adulterous, pedophiliac, white supremacist Republicans--including our own Dishonest Donald Douglas, of course--are down with Donald's belief in collective group guilt, as opposed to individual responsibility, for bad words and deeds.

First off... "pinned down like a Nazi camp guard"? Really, Dishonest Don? (Talk about apoplectic... ...to say nothing of Godwin's Law...)

Deranged Dishonest Donald Douglas Done Assploded

2011-12-30T03:50:00.002-05:00

American Power: Oops! Las Vegas Occupy Hoists Palestinian Flag — Racist Water James Casper III Hardest Hit!

I may or may not answer all of dishonest Don's provocational attack posts--at this point he's just repeating the same lies in new posts, and all of 'em have been answered repeatedly, already--but I do have to say that dishonest Donald Douglas' recent posts put the lie to any notion that I'M the one obsessed, and also shows who's likely been hardest hit, as well... Judging by Dishonest Don's mental state, as evidenced by his recent posts, it seems pretty likely he has suffered some kind of head trauma... I'm just sayin'...

Another commenter here said it awhile back, and he was right... Someone has most certainly broken the AssProf... To use the man's own vernacular, I think Dishonest Donald Douglas done assploded... ...and chances are slim he'll ever be put right.

As for the post at hand, good for Donald... He found a picture of a flag. But he's still playing the same shell game as always... That one flag doesn't mean anything more than one person put a flag on a fence (and since there isn't a single person in the picture, we don't even know that it wasn't the "OUTRAGED" photographer that put it there, so he could post it, and be OUTRAGED.) Neither that flag or the person or people responsible for putting it there represent the thinking of everyone in the Occupy movement. I suspect many don't support the violence coming from either side in that conflict. Others probably don't support Palestinian statehood at all. And yes, there probably are folks who don't support Israel at all, too.

That said, I'm sure there are people who are part of the Occupy movement who believe the Palestinians should have a state. There are also many Jews who think the Palestinians ought to have a state. I believe a few Republican presidents, senators, and house reps have also come out in favor of a two state solution in the middle east. Supporting Palestinian statehood does not make one an anti-Semite. Disagreeing with the Israeli government, whether it's regarding Palestinian statehood, settlements, border fences and walls, or even garbage collection, doesn't make one an anti-Semite, either.

So Dishonest Donald Douglas found a picture of a flag at an Occupy site, and thinks it proves that everyone who supports the occupy movement is therefore an anti-Semite. Why am I not surprised?

People are individuals, with their own ideas. No one Occupier represents the thinking of every Occupier, on this or any other issue. What Dishonest Donald is doing is like pointing to Willard Romney (Or Newton, or Ron Paul, or Crazy-eyes Bachmann) and saying he or she represents the thinking of ALL Republicans on a given issue (or any issue.) That's why I keep saying personal responsibility, not this bullshit collective guilt that Dishonest Donald keeps trying to sell. If Occupyers are all anti-Semites based on the writing or personal skills of a relative few, then republicans are all white supremacists, like Ron Paul and his Republican followers. (And before Dishonest Donald comes by and writes a breathlessly bullshit-laden post about how I called all Republicans white supremacists, the point is they're not... Making sweeping generalizations about whole groups of people based on the behavior of a few members of the group doesn't stand up to scrutiny, whether the group is "occupiers" or "Republicans."

It's likely Dishonest Donald will keep trying to make this kinda charge, but it sounds more and more stupid with each passing day...

BTDT Files - Jew-Hating Anti-Semite

2011-12-28T17:00:00.011-05:00

Wednesday, December 28, 2011:

American Power: Racist Walter James Casper III Doubles-Down on Endorsement of Revolutionary Anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street:

"Racist Repsac3 has a big butthurt post whining about how he's not really a racist anti-Semitic Jew-basher, despite endorsing a movement that was founded on property expropriation, revolution, and anti-Jewish and anti-Israel eliminationism."

Leaving aside for a minute whether Dishonest Donald Douglas' assertions about the founding and purpose of the Occupy movement are even true, it is Donald's assertion that one can be labelled anti-Semitic if one supports a movement where any one person involved with it ever said a bigoted thing about Jews (or, as you'll see, disagreed with Israeli government policy.) If that's not guilt-by-association nonsense, I don't know what is...

"Jew-hating Walter James Casper weaselly claims that he's never said anything against the Jews. And that's irrelevant. He confirmed that he endorsed the movement but denies the central role of anti-Semitism to the group."

That's right... According to Dishonest Donald Douglas, it's irrelevant that one has never spoken ill of Jewish people. All it takes to be a Jew-hating anti-Semite is to endorse a movement at which a few individuals--either members of the general public, or in a few cases, longer term activists--have said some pretty horrible things about Jews. Your own words and actions are not what matter; if one member of your group says or does something shameful, every member of your group is responsible for those shameful words or deeds. I'm sure all of those adulterous, pedophiliac, white supremacist Republicans--including our own Dishonest Donald Douglas, of course--are down with Donald's belief in collective group guilt, as opposed to individual responsibility, for bad words and deeds.

As I've said before, these kind of sweeping generalizations about whole groups of people are what lead to stereotypes and bigotry. When one decides to believe--and worse propagate, as Dishonest Donald is doing--the idea that seeing a statistically small number of _______ people acting a certain way means that MOST or ALL _______ people act that way, that's bigotry, whether those blanks are filled in with the word "liberal," "conservative," "female," "male," "Jewish," "Muslim," "black," "white," "young," or "old."

Sunday, September 12, 2010: Sasquatch Israel

Here's all you really need to know about Dishonest Donald Douglas as far as his specious accusations of anti-Semitism. He so hates everyone who doesn't agree with him politically or socially that he makes shit up in an effort to smear them. Nowhere was this more plainly obvious than in his infamous "Sasquatch Israel" post. While Dishonest Donald has since deleted the offending paragraphs from his original post (out of shame, one imagines), several bloggers recorded what he wrote for posterity. The following account is from long term American Nihilist friend James B. Webb, in his Brain Rage blog post American Power And Anti-Semitic Hominids:

So my conservative counterpart Donald Douglas of American Power was in New York City over the weekend for the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. His main post on the events has a lot of pictures taken from around the city and while it's a little heavy on religion and rantings about "the left's Media-Industrial-Islamist-Complex" it's still rather interesting to check out but it's his follow-up post about "the America-bashing, anti-Israel left" amongst the sign-carrying protesters of the various ideologies present that day that I found particularly entertaining. Amidst his claims about supposedly out-debating some anti-war "leftists" on the street I found this gem of an accusation:
Then turning around, I saw this kid yacking it up for the crowd, obviously having a blast with this ugly Jew-hating sign. And what does that mean, "SASQUATCH ISRAEL"? This is a play on the "legitimacy myth" of Israel's existence. As there's of course a "Sasquatch myth," it's worth noting the implied comparison: that Israel is also an ape-like beast existing only in historical folklore. Absent legitimacy, Israel has "no right to exist." This kid's sign is but one more example of eliminationist anti-Semitism. And look at how overjoyed he is in boasting this hatred. Creepy.
I'm sure you're all just as familiar as I am with this oh-so-common yet extraordinarily awkwardly worded insult comparing the country of Israel to the cryptozoological creature known as Sasquatch in order to advance the agenda of anti-Semitic eliminationism, right? You know, all those political cartoons you've seen in which Israel is portrayed as a large hulking fictional beast crashing through the dense underbrush of the Middle East with the words "SASQUATCH ISRAEL" written across its chest? Wait, you're not? Yeah, neither am I and it's because Don's claim qualifies as the very definition of the phrase "desperately grasping at straws". Here's a picture of said kid:
Now tell me, if you had to make a guess would you say that his sign reads "SASQUATCH ISRAEL" or does it perhaps read "SASQUATCH IS REAL"? One might even guess that there's a (very good reason that this kid is seemingly "overjoyed" and "having a blast" whilst holding up his sign:
So he's either just some kid having a laugh (or being somewhat serious, who knows?) about the disputed existence of Sasquatch or else he's an unabashed anti-Semite openly boasting of his ugly Jew-hating agenda, thus confirming Don's paranoid fears about the "nihilist left" (oh, and he can't spell very well either). This is what happens when the modern Republican persecution complex goes looking for anti-Semitism around every corner: it inevitably finds it, even in the face of incredulity at the obviously nonsensical nature of it. And on a personal anthropological note, I haven't seen a case of Sasquatch FAIL this bad since the fake freezer Bigfoot from a few years back. I've always suspected that the Sasquatch had a liberal bias...
---

As I said at the time, "...to most of us, misreading the sign--seeing "Sasquatch Isreal," rather than "Sasquatch Is Real," isn't a big deal... A cringe-worthy mistake to be sure, especially when one goes out in public--say, on one's blog--misreading it for the whole world to see, but minor in the general scheme of things...

But making up some myth about anti-Semitism based on misreading the sign, and lying about a whole group of people just because you disagree with them politically, is pretty friggin' bad. - Dear Jan... (Repsac3's reply to an inquisitive American Power commenter)

Since then, the "jew-hating kid" with the sign has weighed in himself, with his own Facebook page: Sasquatch IsREAL (Also see: Sasquatch Israel Really Is Real... Really!!)

American Power: Tim Cavanaugh on How Unions Co-opting Occupy Wall Street

"PREVIOUSLY: "American Power: Racist Walter James Casper III Doubles-Down on Endorsement of Revolutionary Anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street.""

CURRENTLY: Bullshit gratuitous mention

Dishonest Donald Douglas Lash-Outs/Lies of the Day for Wednesday, December 28, 2011

2011-12-28T05:00:00.285-05:00

I'll say this for him... No matter how many times he's proven wrong, Dishonest Donald Douglas just keeps telling his lies...

American Power: Racist Walter James Casper III Doubles-Down on Endorsement of Revolutionary Anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street

This is pretty much where I came in... While the terms have changed, Dishonest Donald is still alleging that the folks he disagrees with are ~~nihilists~~, ~~Stalinists~~, communists, racists, anti-semites, ???, and still not backing his allegations with anything more than his own say-so.

As far as Dishonest Donald Douglas' most recent attacks on me, it all boils down to one thing: In all those words he wrote or cut and pasted--and not only all the words in this post, but all the words in EVERY SINGLE POST HE'S WRITTEN ACCUSING ME OF ANTI-SEMITISM OR RACISM--he has continuously failed to quote me saying one racist or anti-Semitic thing.

Game over.

Like any nut with a virtual or actual soapbox, Dishonest Donald can stand up and call folks anything he can dream up, but if he cannot show a single instance where I posted something that supports his bullshit racist or anti-semitic smears, it pretty much goes without saying that his smears are false at best, and likely intentionally and libelously dishonest, as well.

Dishonest Donald Douglas can try to disguise his failure to make his case with all manner of guilt by association tactics and like-minded wingnut opinioneers saying the same things he's saying about the occupy movement, but in the end, he hasn't got the goods. He expects his readers to accept that I am what he says I am, just because he says that's what I am. The words and actions he's citing are the words and actions of people I do not know, have never met, and never voiced any support for (or his own, of course) and yet he really seems to believe that by citing some anonymous anti-semitic nut purportedly at an Occupy protest somewhere, he can tar everyone who ever attended a protest or spoke supportively of anything regarding the occupy movement as an anti-Semite and have folks believe him. How gullible he must think his readers are...

According to Donald Douglas, I have an "extreme radical agenda, [and a] live and let live, if it feels good do it, anti-capitalist, anti-American, anti-Israel revolutionary program" and that I am "the epitome of the exterminationist, big-lie neo-commie hate-filled progressive." And yet, he does not ever quote a single sentence I've written that backs any one of those claims. You'd think it would be easy to do, and yet he never does it.

It's like I keep saying... As far as Dishonest Donald is concerned, they're just insulting words... He might just as well be calling me an asswipe as calling me an anti-Semite... One insulting term is just as good as another, for all the proof of either "term of endearment" he manages to offer...

All Dishonest Donald does instead is make insipid arguments like this one:

"Jew-hating Walter James Casper weaselly claims that he's never said anything against the Jews. And that's irrelevant."

Yeah, the fact that I've never actually committed the crime he's accusing me of is irrelevant, he says... Sorry, Dishonest Don... Whether it's being anti-Semitic or stealing candy from a drugstore, actually being guilty of doing the thing you're accused of doing is very relevant, at least here in the US... One has to be some kinda ideologically driven nutbag, to suggest otherwise...

Unsupported allegations and smears on the internet are not worth the electrons with which they're printed. To call someone a name or label them without being able to support that name or label with evidence is to tell a lie. Dishonest Donald Douglas is a consummate and habitual liar. (In fact, one wonders whether he is even capable of telling the truth...)

Game over.
The End.
(Not that he won't keep lying, of course... He will. But his lies are powerless, and even he knows it.)

As for the remainder, Dishonest Donald's claims seem to rest on a few similarly bogus assumptions and assertions.

Donald Douglas believes in collective guilt rather than personal responsibility.

According to Dishonest Donald Douglas, to be an occupy protester or supporter is to be an anti-Semite, even if you've ever personally made an anti-Semitic statement of any kind. Everyone is collectively guilty, because at least one occupy protester or attendee somewhere said something bad about the Jews (or alternatively, because someone at a magazine both wrote an article in 2004 about US neocon support for Israel AND wrote an e-mail blast in 2011 saying that AdBusters Magazine subscribers should "Occupy Wall Street.")

The idea of collective guilt, where everyone who is a member of a particular group shares in the guilt for the words or deeds of any one member, is the very building block of bigotry. It's sweeping generalization, attributing the behavior of one _____ person to every _____ person. While Dishonest Donald Douglas is calling me a racist anti-Semite, he's simultaneously saying that it's alright to blame Peter for the sins of Paul, as long as both Peter and Paul are members of the same group, in this case Occupy protesters. One wonders whether it would be similarly ok if the link was that they're both black, or both Jewish. You know what those college professors are like, after all... I mean if Professor Donald Douglas does it, they all must, right?

Two or more people telling the same lie does not make the lie any less of a lie.

In this post, Dishonest Donald Douglas cites several other rightwing authors and bloggers who, miracle of miracles, echo the same things he's been saying. (Whether they're echoing him, he's echoing them, or that two or more ideologically similar minds might have ideologically similar thoughts on a given topic is left open to interpretation, of course...)

That Commentary magazine's Jonathan Neumann ALSO believes the Occupy movement is anti-Semitic--by that same guilt-by-association logic that Dishonest Donald employs, along with the history Israel has with the word "occupy," which to him seems significant... (...ignoring, of course, that according to his theory, the US occupiers are wrapping themselves in the very cloak of a group they supposedly hate, those Jewish occupiers on Palestinian land.)--is not really all that surprising.

Dishonest Donald believes he and his fellow right-wingers know what the occupy movement "REALLY" represents, and would prefer that you believe them, rather than listen to what the actual folks at the protests have to say about why they're there.

Yes, some anarchist and communist student groups involved in coalitions trying to keep tuition affordable suggested in 2010 that occupation was a worthwhile tactic--as they say, it had been used successfully in 2008 by the workers at a door manufacturing company to persuade Bank of America to give the company (and therefore themselves) more time before foreclosing--but because occupation is a protest tactic, not a political or social ideology, I kinda fail to see why that matters.

And besides... Take a look at who first called for a tea party movement, and then get back to me as to whether the Dishonest Donald Douglas and his tea party friends ended up espousing the values of it's earliest proponent. Things change.

Second, that a magazine with an arguably anti-Semitic article in it back in 2004 is ipso facto anti-Semitic today, and that therefore anything that has some connection to them is tainted before it ever began, is just silly. The occupy movement isn't about what other things the magazine may've published. It's about what they were calling for in suggesting an Occupy movement, and what the people attending were and are calling for when they attend[ed].

Dishonest Donald claims that the participation of AdBusters magazine means the Occupy movement is about "rampant Jew hatred and eliminationism," and "The initial Occupy mobilizations were explicitly revolutionary, advocating militant collective action. They were not about this stupid "money is not speech" bullshit. Occupy is working to destroy capital altogether."

But remember that initial AdBusters call to occupy Wall Street? Here's what it said:

what is our equally uncomplicated demand?

The most exciting candidate that we've heard so far is one that gets at the core of why the American political establishment is currently unworthy of being called a democracy: we demand that Barack Obama ordain a Presidential Commission tasked with ending the influence money has over our representatives in Washington. It's time for DEMOCRACY NOT CORPORATOCRACY, we're doomed without it.

Yep, that "stupid "money is not speech" bullshit." Oops, wrong answer, Dishonest Don...

"5,000 arrested, but too small to be a movement"

That one speaks for itself, I think... The circuitous logic and willingness to rationalize away cognitive dissonance astounds, sometimes...

"Racist Walter James Casper III tweeted his endorsement to "occupy wherever you are," and no doubt that means occupying women's reproductive sexual organs, the freakin' morally degenerate progressive criminal!"

"No doubt," Dishonest Donald? According to WHAT?!? Your own creepy morals?

It's bullshit lines like this one that expose Dishonest Donald Douglas for the kind of man he chooses to be. He accuses me of crap like this knowing he has no basis (except perhaps his own morality) by which to do so. The fact that he's making shit up out of whole cloth doesn't stop him for a second, though... He hates, and whatever he has to do to try to destroy his perceived enemies, he'll do without the slightest of qualms. Donald Douglas is a sick dishonest fuck, who lies because it's the only way he can convince himself he's winning. You know it, I know it, and Dishonest Donald Douglas knows it, too. If he had a coherent argument, he wouldn't have to lie.

Next, Dishonest Donald harkens back to his previous attack post, where he cites an article about what the AdBuster guy thinks may be next for the Occupy movement--quick street theater, and short term, non-violent flash protests, rather than the long term occupations of the fall--and Dishonest Don tries to suggest... ...well, I don't know what he's trying to suggest. In his initial posting, it looked like he was trying to say that the article proves racism and anti-Semitism is at the heart of the movement... ...except that the article says no such thing, instead crediting college age kids with being the heart of the movement.

This second time, I have no idea what he's trying to say by citing the article. He says "these people ARE the movement", as though that's supposed to mean something...

OK... these people (the young folks of today, along with some of their older relatives--ARE the movement... But what they're NOT, is racists and anti-Semites. Whatever Dishonest Donald thought he was proving by citing the article twice in as many days, that is what the article actually says.

"The hate-mongering Walter James Casper whines like a spoiled toddler about how "racist" the tea partiers are..."

No, that isn't what I said in that post at all... In fact, I said the exact opposite. (Donald Douglas has poor reading comprehension.) I said Dishonest Don and the Tea Party movement as a whole were NOT responsible for the few racist assholes who held bigoted signs at tea party events. Personal responsibility, not collective guilt. (When you have to willfully misunderstand someone to try to score a political point, you might just as well not bother. The dishonesty is obvious to all...)

Dishonest Donald Douglas can keep on trying, but his attacks, like his arguments, lack substance...

The Dishonest Donald Douglas Doubledown: American Power: Tim Cavanaugh on How Unions Co-opting Occupy Wall Street

Dishonest Donald Douglas Lash-Out/Lie of the Day for Tuesday, December 27, 2011, Part 3

2011-12-27T18:00:00.002-05:00

American Power: More Democrat Assploding 'We Are the 99%' Hypocrisy

"Oh, and something assploding hypocrite Walter James Casper III conveniently ignored in his stupidity-induced rejoinder this morning: "American Power: Occupy Wall Street Plans 'American Spring' to Bring U.S. 'One Step Closer to Revolution'" But of course, it's just a "few" on the "fringe" here and there, right? Not representative of anything? Nope. Wrong. The Jew-bashing revolutionary comrades ARE the movement. Democrats are piggy-backing out of pure progressive opportunism, just like racist Walter James Casper III."

At the outset, let me say that Donald Douglas did manage to get at least on fact right in this latest post. It is absolutely true that I failed to anticipate and respond at 7:00 AM eastern to an American Power post that went live at 11:00 AM eastern. For whatever that may be worth to the man (or to you, the reader, in evaluating these posts), Dishonest Donald is absolutely correct. Guilty as charged. I will be sure to jump in the time capsule and respond to whatever future posts Dishonest Donald intends to write about me later, whenever possible. (Mostly, it's pretty simple. Chances are pretty good that the vast majority of his future posts that mention me are going to accuse me of racism, anti-semitism, and/or communism, and will not offer ANY quotes or citations in support of any of those specious allegations... ((This answering posts of the future stuff disn't really all that difficult, after all... It's more or less exactly what I've been doing all along...))

It's kinda hard to tell what Dishonest Donald Douglas is even raving about, this time. Perhaps it is the word "revolution" on the signs in those pictures that has him all in a tizzy. It can't be communism or anti-semitism that has him all a-flutter, because, for all his raving nonsense about both in the post, neither ideology appears in word or by example anywhere in the article to which Dishonest Donald Douglas indirectly links in his post: Watch out, 1%; the kids will be back - Wealth distribution - MSN Money (If he thinks he's showing either--which is what the words of this post kinda suggests--he's flat out lying. His article doesn't say anything about "Jew-bashing revolutionary comrades." In fact, the article describes the folks involved in the Occupy movement not as racists, anti-semites, or communists, but as the nation's young people. At least as far as this article is concerned, the people that Dishonest Donald Douglas is calling "Jew-bashing revolutionary comrades" are your high school and college age children. Dishonest Donald Douglas has found his enemy, and they are his students and their friends at Long Beach City College. No wonder the guy is so friggin' unhappy all of the time. He hates the very people he serves in his job.

Rather than proving that Dishonest Donald's claims of racist, anti-Semitic communists are true, the article supports what I said in an earlier post regarding the demands of the Occupy movement:

"(A) 'Robin Hood' tax on all financial transactions and currency trades; a ban on high-frequency 'flash' trading; the reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act to again separate investment banking from commercial banking; a constitutional amendment to revoke corporate personhood and overrule Citizens United; a move toward a 'true cost' market regime in which the price of every product reflects the ecological cost of its production, distribution and use;" and they are in favor of "perhaps even the birth of a new, left-right hybrid political party that moves America beyond the Coke vs. Pepsi choices of the past."

No communism. Nobody lining up for ovens. Just fundamental financial and electoral regulations designed to make the economic and political playing field more fair for more of the American people. Folks are tired of watching Democracy and our legislatures sold to the highest bidder. The kids--and a whole lot of their older relatives, as well--are demanding that our corporate-financed political system get an overhaul.

One almost has to wonder whether Dishonest Donald Douglas actually read the article, or whether he just took the word of his weaselly zipper headed friend that it said something bad about their shared enemy--today's youth, and tomorrow's future--and posted it without ever bothering to look at it. "Jew-bashing revolutionary comrades"? Dishonest Donald Douglas has got to be fucking kidding...

Dishonest Donald Douglas Lash-Out/Lie of the Day for Tuesday, December 27, 2011

2011-12-27T07:00:00.256-05:00

Another day, another Dishonest Donald Douglas attack post full of lies...

American Power: Occupy Wall Street: Anti-Semitism, Socialism, Crime and Public Defecation

Following up on my earlier entries: "Occupy Wall Street and the Jews," and "Christmas Smear: MSNBC Hack Ed Schultz Slurs Tea Partiers as 'Sewer Rats' — Assploding Hypocrite W. James Casper Hardest Hit!"

Walter James Casper III continues the lies and distortions, claiming that, for some reason, for him to be called out for his racist, anti-Semitic support for the criminal Occupy Wall Street movement isn't "politics." Nope. Wrong. It's political --- and criminal, and socially deviant, and deranged.

If Dishonest Don was quoting me saying something racist or anti-semitic in conjunction with the occupy movement, (or anything else) our pipsqueak propagandist might have a point. But all he's doing is linking to the few anti-semitic (or illegal, or immoral) incidents that occurred at or near occupy sites--the perpetrators of which for the most part were just strangers on the street, not long-time liberal activists with any connection to occupy or any other movement--and pretending that these few people and/or incidents represent the thinking of every single person who attended or in any way supports any portion of the occupy movement. And like I said before, that kind of sweeping generalization is obviously, blatantly dishonest. These incidents represent the exceptions in otherwise peaceful protests... And while Dishonest Donald claims ignorance--one has to be willfully stupid to believe some of the things he claims to believe in these posts--Donald knows it just as well as everyone else does. In any group of 1000, there's probably going to be a few bigots and assholes. But finding five and pretending that they speak for the thousand--not to mention everyone on the internet that voices any support for the movement as a whole, besides--is just plum stupid.

Donald isn't calling me out for anything (though yeah, he does seem to believe he is, via some magic power of transitive guilt, or something...) The fact is, I am no more responsible for what some asshole says at a protest or in a video than I am for what some asshole posts on the American Power blog.

I don't blame Dishonest Donald Douglas or the tea party movement as a whole for the bigotry of a few of his tea party friends:

He is not them, and does not share the guilt for their bigotry, even though he posts in support of the tea party movement. (The only bigotry Dishonest Donald is responsible for is his own.)

Here's the whining man-child prevaricating like a blithering freak:
Even when he does use social or political terms, their denotative and connotative definitions bear no resemblance to what I stand for politically or socially. For Donald, there is no difference between calling someone a communist or racist, and calling that person a fuckwad. As used by Dishonest Don, these political and social labels are nothing more that ad hominem insults and rhetorical ejaculations.
These are like the rants of a child who's been busted for stealing down at the local drugstore. The manager calls the parents and the child caught red-handed mumbles as if he didn't know that stealing was wrong.

A good try, but Dishonest Donald's analogy is way off... No one is busting me (or the occupy movement) for anything... Donald is catching one kid in a drugstore stealing, and then declaring that everyone in his school--and everyone on his Facebook page, too--is also guilty of stealing, by association.

Stupid?
Yeah.

Bullshit?
Absolutely.

These are the specious lies and guilt-by-association propaganda Dishonest Donald Douglas regularly traffics in.

Walter James Casper III is a racist who has endorsed the Occupy Wall Street program, tweeting "Occupy wherever you are."

Dishonest Don still believes that his claiming I'm a racist actually proves it. He'll only tell you what he wants you to think and believe; He'll never show you the facts and let you judge for yourself. You ought to ask him why (but failing that, you ought to at least ask yourself why.)

To date Walter James Casper has chosen to lash out in anger rather than explain why in the world he would endorse a movement that is anti-capitalist, anti-American, and anti-Jew.

Is Dishonest Donald really trying to throw my "lash out" charge back at me, as though he's not the one initiating these attack posts? Since Thanksgiving, every one of my posts here has been in response to some crazy shit he's tried to sell, without proof... The facts are available to anyone willing or wanting to check...

As for occupy, it isn't any of the things Dishonest Donald is claiming it is... Until he shows why he's making the charges in the first place, there's nothing there worth responding to... Why spend paragraphs "proving" the moon isn't made of cheese, when the guy making the claim hasn't seen fit to bring a hunk of moon cheese with him in support of his claims... ANY ASSHOLE can make wild claims... They have to back them with something more than the claim itself to be taken seriously, however...

By exhorting people to Occupy wherever they are --- a literally global statement of solidarity --- Walter James Casper has given approval and sanction to all the horrible acts of rape and violence, property destruction and public defection, and racist eliminationism --- acts all in the name of the Occupy program. THAT IS where Walter James Casper stands "politically or socially."

That's nonsense. That's like saying everyone who supports sending criminals to prison (or to any major US city, for that matter) supports their being raped or killed there. Murder happens, even in the O.C.... but that doesn't mean living or working in the O.C. makes you a murderer. Sweeping generalizations like these just make Donald sound stupid.

Again, these crimes--to the extent that they actually happened at occupy protests in the first place, which is in question--are the exceptions, and not what many occupiers were perpetrating or falling victim to. Dishonest Donald is lying, and not even well.

This is what the movement is about.

Sorry, Don.

The movement is about income inequality, joblessness, and ways to make the system (financial, and electoral) more fair. Money is not speech. Corporations are not people. Equitable taxation, where everyone above poverty wages pays their fair share on all they earn. The people should have more political power and access than those who can pay for it. Politicians and their votes shouldn't be for sale.

The solutions may (or may not be) complicated, but understanding the problems should be far more simple than Dishonest Donald is pretending they are... (at least, one HOPES he's pretending...)

Progressives justify the hate by attacking the non-existent 1%.

There is no hate. Just disagreement (and only some--many in the 1% actually support the occupy movement) over the actual value of their paying more in taxes.

By his refusal to even address what's been repeatedly pointed out and documented, Walter James Casper III acts no differently than a petulant child who refuses to take responsibility for his actions --- which is exactly what the occupiers do, blame everyone for their problems but themselves.

Dishonest Donald has repeatedly failed to show you the actions of mine he takes issue with. Instead, he holds me responsible for the words and deeds of folks who live in the same town as me, or work in the same building as I do, or might vote for the same candidate for president as me. I'll gladly take responsible for my own actions, but not the actions of everyone who ever voted for a particular candidate or party. Donald isn't showing you anything I've done; He's showing you what some guy I never even met or heard of did, and trying to make me responsible for HIS actions.

After launching a hate blog, recruiting progressives to harass my work and threaten my means to earn a living, after sponsoring and defending racist white-supremacist statements at an attack blog and in comment threads elsewhere, and now after endorsing on Twitter the Occupy Wall Street movement...

Talk about crying WAAAHHH!!!

There is no "hate blog"... There is only this one, where folks talk about the attacks Donald has made against them and others, and yes, laugh at Dishonest Donald a whole lot, as well.

And obviously, all the rest is just more of Dishonest Donald's crazy, specious whining...
I'm not responsible for any Workplace Harassment. No matter how hard Donald tries, he cannot substantiate his silly "RAAAAACIST!!!" bleatings with anything more than repeating the word over and over, in the hope that some damned fool will believe him just because he says it, and he's Dishonest Donald Douglas. He's just making shit up... It's all he has, and all he does.

I do pity the guy, however... He actually thinks folks care what he has to say about me... He thinks they don't see right through him... (If only he saw the e-mail I've been receiving, wondering what the fuck is wrong with him... ...or my most common answer in reply, saying I wish I knew...)

Anyway, here's my comment in response:

American Power: Occupy Wall Street and the Jews

"Walter James Casper III has to answer for his ugly endorsement of the hate. Walter James Casper III has endorsed the anti-Semitism of the Occupy movement. Add this on top of his anti-black racist sentiments and the sponsorship of hatred at his blog under "free speech" pretenses, and it's beyond clear the depths of evil this man will go to destroy decent people, Jews and racial minorities especially, because they don't toe the collectivist line."

I feel very bad for poor Donald... While the rest of us are preparing to enjoy time with family and friends, Dishonest Don is spewing his hate at everyone with whom he disagrees. He can't even stop himself long enough to experience any joy...

It was bullshit the first time Dishonest Donald Douglas tried this sweeping generalization nonsense, about the Occupy movement or anything else, and it's bullshit now. Blaming every occupier for what ANY occupier said or did is just stupid... Doing it repeatedly, as though it sounds any smarter the third, fifth, or twelfth time one says it, is the definition of crazy. There is no endorsement for anti-Semitism in anything I've ever written, and certainly not in a tweet saying "Occupy wherever you are." As usual, Donald Douglas is making shit up, and then tossing his specious allegations into the wind and hoping they stick to something. It's a desperate move, by a desperate man.

Be gone, dishonest Don... Spend some time with your wife and children, and stop vomiting your hate for those who don't agree with you all over the internet... at least until the 26th... Baby Jesus and His creation can do without your nonsense for a day or two... Really. Except for a few of your sycophants and fellow travelers, the world can do without all this hateful nonsense, especially on Christmas eve. (or Thanksgiving. Or Easter, for that matter.)

So yeah... Merry Chrismas to Dishonest Donald Douglas, and to all his fellow haters, too. Let's hope Santa brings 'em all cleaner souls, and maybe a little more heart.

Time since Dishonest Don's previous lash-out/lie: 3 days, 16 hours (another record, by two whole hours.)

Fuckin' sad that I couldn't leave this blog sitting quiet for Christmas on the far happier notes of the post below. Dishonest Don leaves everything he touches a little worse for the experience... ...and that's just sad for all concerned...

UPDATE, 12/26, 12:30 AM (or so): The famous Dishonest Donald Douglas Doubledown: American Power: Christmas Smear: MSNBC Hack Ed Schultz Slurs Tea Partiers as 'Sewer Rats' — Assploding Hypocrite W. James Casper Hardest Hit!

Walter James Casper III got all butthurt for being called out as a rabid anti-Semite --- and that's on top of his history of sponsoring white supremacist hate rantings at his attack blog. Racist Repsac3 is whining about how "poor Donald" is so hateful --- HATEFUL, WAAAHHH!! --- but the idiot never has a word of condemnation for his sick puppy progressive allies, like loser Ed Schultz who slurred good people AS A GROUP just days before Christmas. That's bigotry.

Frankly, politics doesn't stop for the holidays, but if you're a pathetic racist anti-Semitic Occupy-endorsing Jew-bashing neo-commie, it's par for the course. Freakin' assploding hypocrite bigot. Walter James Casper III is despicable.

There's nothing in this post that wasn't in Dishonest Donald Douglas' previous attack... Dishonest Donald spent his Christmas making shit up about folks he hates--mainly me, for reasons known only to Donald himself (but whatever the reason for his hard-on for me may be, the guy has it BAD... Two posts lashing out at me in the space of 12 hours, and on Christmas eve, no less... Donald obviously has some kinda problem...).

Nothing he says about me in either of his Christmas Eve posts is true, as evidenced by the fact that for all his whining, Donald fails to back a single one of his allegations with even the slightest bit of supporting evidence. Whether it's because Donald thinks so little of his readership or so much of himself, I cannot say... But the fact remains that he seems to think that his saying a thing makes it so, and offering evidence in support is simply not necessary.

And, while Donald seems to think that what he's doing in these posts is "politics," his posts about me are nothing more than specious lies offered as personal attack, not politics. Even when he does use social or political terms, their denotative and connotative definitions bear no resemblance to what I stand for politically or socially. For Donald, there is no difference between calling someone a communist or racist, and calling that person a fuckwad. As used by Dishonest Don, these political and social labels are nothing more that ad hominem insults and rhetorical ejaculations. And while this verbal masturbation seems to please Donald (and perhaps one or two of his most ardent followers) it adds nothing to the conversation. Whether he screams "nihilist!!!" or "shithead,!!!" Dishonest Donald Douglas isn't saying anything about anyone besides himself.

The sad fact is, somewhere along the line I hurt Dishonest Donald Douglas' feelings, and these lash-out posts are his attempts at getting revenge and soothing his wounded ego.

All I can say is I feel very sorry for the guy, and hope that he can spend the next family holiday sharing himself with the folks who love him, rather than obsessing over internet strangers who don't. (Lord knows I barely gave Dishonest Don a thought since I first made this post, somewhere in the neighborhood of 41 hours ago... Whatever his holiday attack posts suggest about Donald and his obsession with me, Dishonest Donald and his specious allegations aren't worth much of a thought in general, and especially not during family / religious holidays... YMMV...

Merry Christmas 2011

I became aware of these two videos within 24 hours of each other, and they both make me smile...

At first I envisioned some kinda east coast <--> west coast chick singin' let it all hang out goofy Christmas song video rivalry, like them rappers used to have... (That is what them rappers used to have, isn't it?!?)

But the fact is, I'd much rather see 'em workin' together, sometime, somewhere... I think they're both phenomenal talents, and I urge anyone unfamiliar to get to know these performers better... (Obviously, this isn't their best work, but for what they are, these videos are pretty great...)

East Coast: Antigone Rising

Merry happy, everyone... Celebrate, and be joyous.

Dishonest Donald Douglas Lash-Out/Lie of the Day for Tuesday, December 20, 2011

2011-12-20T16:00:00.098-05:00

I knew he couldn't last... He'd been seething in post after post, spreading hateful ad hom like butter on toast: "America-hating market-killing left," "one of the left's premiere dishonest spin masters and lie merchants, Steve "Buttfreak" Benen,", "progressive terror enablers", "the idiots of the neo-communist blogosphere, for example, here's epic airhead Barbara O'Brien at Mahablog," "That would be "Wall Street Journal," you stupid piece of scum. And your ignorance is what's "bullshit.,'" "There's more of teh stupid, from Steve M. at No More Mister Nice Blog," "Read it all --- and weep, you ASFL progressive d-bags!"... And that's just from today...

So this is no surprise:
American Power: Claire Potter, Radical Lesbian History Professor at Wesleyan, Can't Comprehend Shot of "Veritas" Between the Eyes

And note something: Althouse hadn't read the ostensibly offending comment, but she removed it when she found that Professor Potter thought it offensively sexist. And that's because Althouse is a good and decent woman. Progressives, on the other hand, are not decent. These sick f-king racists routinely attack conservatives with the most vile bigotry, and they twist contortions to deny the patently obvious racism spouted in their own comments. They sponsor racism, hatred, workplace harassment and intimidation, and make personal threats against those whom they despise. Yeah, progressives suck like that, and the news is spreading.
---

The link goes to Dishonest Donald Douglas' whining butthurt post about a comment made here at AmNi by "ThePaleScot," a year ago October, who suggested that Donald was the "anti-Johnny Winters," and went on to say "By all figuring John should be an accordion playing polka junkie, but life intervened." Of course the first thing Dishonest Donald sees in the comment is RAAAAACISM!!!, and screeds away... (...repeatedly, since this happened that October day in 2010. Talk about butthurt...)

And my answers to his screeds are always the same, too...

I don't believe the comment is RAAAAACIST!!! like Dishonest Donald does (or pretends to, anyway...)

and

I don't delete comments that folks find offensive, in any case; I leave them posted so that the folks who read them can be offended and respond as they see fit, and so that the folks who make them have to own up to their own ugliness. Sometimes--like Dishonest Donald, himself--I even write new posts highlighting posts and comments I find offensive, exposing the original author to even more scrutiny.

And this bit, first posted November 27th and reposted about a week ago, bears repeating yet again:

As near as I can figure it, Donald's racism charge, first launched after I called him out for bigoted posts like these, amounts to the following:

1) I didn't believe a comment made about Donald Douglas' celtic-sounding name and "swarthy" complexion was racist...

2) I called a black man a clown because I disagreed with something he said...

and

3) I said that it is not racist to mention--or even talk about--race... ...and as an example, said that it would not be racist for another professor to describe Dr. Douglas as "a grey-haired black man wearing a blue suit with a red tie, who was likely to be dining in the south quad cafeteria at this hour" to a new student or professor who had never met the man. Apparently, taking any notice of skin color or other "racial" feature is evidence that one judges people based on their ethnic or racial background. (And lest there be any confusion, this was a part of Donald's comment in reply: "...you welcome people who see me first as a black man and not a man." Yeah... Really.)

(I'll obviously have to add my response to the Johnny Winter bit, but this seems to be the whole of Dishonest Donald Douglas' RAAAACIST charge against me...)

The rest ("workplace harassment and intimidation", "personal threats against those whom they despise", ...) have all been thoroughly responded to at this blog many, many times before.

Donald Douglas is a liar. It's that simple.

Donald Douglas Named "Dear Leader" of North Korea

2011-12-19T19:47:00.004-05:00

After interviews with North Korea's most powerful generals, it was decided that deceased dear leader, Kim Jung Il's boy, Kim Jung Un, wasn't sufficiently closed minded and shitheaded enough to be the next Dear Leader. The job has been offered to the only man capable of living up to the level of dictatorial shitheadedness that Kim Jung Il achieved. That man according to North Korean officials is Professor Donald Douglas.

"We wanted a man who was easily offended. Believed he was always correct even when faced with irrefutable evidence that he is wrong. And single mindedly capable of making up shit to persecute those who piss him off by exposing his shitheadedness as Donald persecutes Repsac" according to sources who said they knew what was going on in North Korea.

As Donald Douglas' appointed Minister of Hate, I have authorized the official American Nihilist Joy Brigade to march in Donald's inaugural parade starting at Long Beach Community College and proceeding across the Douglas/Jung Il bridge spanning the Pacific to Pyongyang.

Bertha and Donetta will be riding with Professor Douglas in the official North Korean presidential 1965 Ford Galaxy.

Donald Douglas. Dear Leader! hail to the chief!

Dishonest Donald Douglas Day of Rest?

2011-12-19T12:01:00.006-05:00

For those eagerly awaiting the next verse in Dishonest Donald Douglas' 12 days of repsac, he appears to've taken Sunday off, at least as far as I was concerned. (He tossed a lot of hate at others in several posts, yesterday--a guy who lashes out on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas morning--and defends doing so--isn't going to let a little thing like the christian sabbath stop him from pumping out the bile--but my name was not on the list of folks at whom he lashed out.)

There's little chance this respite from Dishonest Donald Douglas' daily bullshit storm will last however, and posts in the "the Dishonest Donald Douglas lash-out / lie of the day" series will continue as soon as Donald's hateful obsession gets the better of him. (I can't count this one as a "lash-out/lie" post because at best, I'm responding to something Dishonest Don didn't do. And while there is some precedent for that (same link as above, ironically), we here at American Nihilist know our offense from our defense and, unlike the posts in the "lash-out/lie" series, this isn't a defensive post in response to an unprovoked and specious attack.)

Dishonest Donald Douglas Lash-Out/Lie of the Day for Saturday, December 17, 2011

2011-12-17T10:02:00.051-05:00

Come Saturday, Dishonest Donald Douglas is back to his usual one or two line gratuitous mention of my name in a post ostensibly about a different topic. Today's specious mention, shoehorned into the post American Power: Occupy Wall Street: A Movement Custom-Designed to Make Democrat-Socialists Look Like a Bunch of Freaks, follows:

"Yep, that's exactly movement that James Walter "Occupy" Casper III endorsed with his exhortation: "Occupy wherever you are." Freakin' scumbag.

Criminal Hatesac3's even more stupid than the doltish union idiot at the video. Man, Cavuto reams her a new one. That's gotta hurt.

Winning!"

There really isn't much here to even respond to--he's still talkin', but still not sayin' anything --though his Charlie Sheen reference does fit ol' Dishonest Don's temperament and general style these days to a T, don't it? One pathetically sad laughingstock clinging to another for support-- but I did want to note his daily dose of obsession, regardless...
---

Time since Dishonest Don's previous lash-out/lie: 29 hours.

(First time this week Dishonest Donald Douglas has exceeded 24 hours... Must be the weekend...)
---

While folks like Donald Douglas seem eager to hide what those he disagrees with have to say by moderating his comment sections for content and limiting the number of verbatim quotes, citations, and links he uses when blogging, I want nothing more than to give folks every opportunity to read exactly what Dr. Douglas has to say, in all of it's contextual glory, and thus will quote and link to his exact words as often as I can...

Everyone please, go look at Donald Douglas, and particularly at the post(s) in question. Read everything he has to say. Weigh his arguments--as well as the arguments of those who disagree with him, of course--judge as fairly as your conscience allows you to, and come to your own conclusions.

I ask for nothing more.

And I ask for nothing less.

Dishonest Donald Douglas Lash-Out/Lie of the Day for Friday, December 16, 2011

2011-12-16T05:00:00.045-05:00

Forget those crazy gratuitous mentions in posts that're ostensibly about some other topic... For his Friday attack, Dishonest Don wrote a whole post in furtherance of his odd obsession with me. (And make no mistake, kiddies... There was a time when this blog used to be on the offensive, critiquing posts he had written about other subjects... ...but all we ever seem to do these days is respond to direct attacks from Dishonest Donald Douglas. For all his blather and bullshit, he's lashing out daily, and then whining like a stuck polecat when we respond... The "obsession" these days is all from Dishonest Donald Douglas.)

And away we go... Dishonest Donald Douglas' Lash-outs and Lies of the day:

American Power: Walter James 'Occupy' Casper Continues Campaign of Lies: Childishly Whines About 'McCarthyism' While Endorsing Anarchists and Anti-Semitic Communists

Now, let's get one thing clear at the outset, just to get a feel for how far off the deep end ol' Dishonest Don is sinking in his effort to smear. In my response to Dishonest Donald's lash outs and lies yesterday, I name-checked Joe McCarthy one time at the very end of the post, as a snarky reply to Donald's unsubstantiated claim of "Demo-Commies" in elected office. There was no whining, and I never once used the term "McCarthyism."

In response, Dishonest Donald Douglas wrote a 1350 word post, the title of which appears above. 832 words of it is a rousing defense of Joe McCarthy. (To be fair, most of that 832 word defense--695 words of it, to be exact--was cut 'n' pasted from a 2003 Jonah Goldberg piece.) 'nuff said.

So, I'm probably not going to address much of Jonah Goldberg's argument, because it's a straw man, at least as it applies to me. Donald alleged there are communists in the Democratic party serving as elected officials, and I basically said "alert Joe McCarthy." No whining, and no allegations of McCarthyism, except in Donald's imagination. (Perhaps if I have the time and the inclination, I'll read up on how many actual communist spies (and for that matter, actual communists who weren't spies, but identified with one or another Marxist ideal they read in a book, somewhere) Joe McCarthy was responsible for finding and capturing, vs how many he accused all together, and how many of those folks Joe & co. couldn't sustain a charge against. (Like it or don't, we're still a nation of laws, and folks are still presumed innocent until actually found guilty. It ain't perfect--think OJ--but it's the best we have.)

I will say this, though... One of the things Dishonest Don cannot seem to admit is that not every communist then or now supported the pogroms of Josef Stalin; intellectuals who sat around arguing about the ideal form of communism--some ideal world where there was no authoritarianism, and everyone was his brother's/neighbor's/fellow American's keeper--may well have been wrong and misguided... ...but they were not and are not dangerous. As with all things, there are degrees, and pretending that "communist" is or ever was a synonym for "Stalinist" or "Authoritarian" in all cases is bullshit fear mongering of the highest order. It's as though thinking that Communism was a good idea was the crime, not actually, y'know, committing a crime.

Or, to put it another way (from one of Dishonest Don's own links): "While McCarthy did identify some Communists who managed to escape the net, he also began to investigate and pillory many who were in no way connected with the Soviets as agents, spies, or couriers. He often failed to distinguish between actual Communists, fellow-travelers, and anti-Communist liberals and social-democrats. It was enough for him to know that they were critical of his methods and tactics: That made them as good as Communists. Many of these people were indeed Communists, fellow-travelers, or dupes. But they were not engaged in any activity except that of public pronouncements that could be accepted or rejected on their merits. Nothing in the area of their work made them a security risk." (And yes, the analogy today is being Muslim, vs being an islamic terrorist.) Some people do commit crimes based on their political or religious beliefs... but it doesn't follow that their political or religious beliefs are themselves therefore criminal. When people refer to "McCarthyism," or "McCarthyite tactics," it is Joe's indiscriminate targeting of anyone he perceived to be an enemy and the inability or unwillingness to see anything but black hats or white hats--loyal Americans or enemies, based on political philosophy or religion--that they're generally talking about. (Remind you of anyone we know?)

With that said, on to Dishonest Don's lash-outs and lies of the day...

My criminal stalker Walter James "Occupy" Casper III, a.k.a. "Hatesac3", continues to harass me and this blog with comments --- on top of his recent cyber threats to my family --- despite being banned long ago. This post is to record some key evidence in Walter James "Occupy" Casper's continuing campaign to undermine the foundations of the country with a clandestine Marxist program of communist subterfuge.

No, I'm still not a criminal... if Donald wants to credibly make that allegation, he's going to have to name the specific law I've broken, and perhaps call a cop. Until then, it's just him whining about things he obviously cannot prove.

As for the "stalking" and "harassment," that's just Donald-speak for people he disagrees with who submit comments to his blog posts without his express permission. Yeah, he did tell me I'm banned, and yeah, I do (sometimes) submit a comment to those posts on his blog where he talks about me, even though I know it makes his heart hurt. Cry me a river... Given all his lies, I just don't have time for Drama Queen Donald, too. Dishonest Donald needs to grow a pair, and stop whining because I submit comments to his moderated blog when he posts about me... or any other time, either.

The allegations of threats to his family are fiction. There have been no cyber threats to any member of his family by me or anyone I know. Donald Douglas is lying.

As to my "continuing campaign to undermine the foundations of the country with a clandestine Marxist program of communist subterfuge," it's apparently so clandestine that Dishonest Don cannot quote or cite a single example of what he's talking about where I am concerned. Lotta talk, but not a whole lot of substance.

To put it plainly, "Hatesac3" can't stand the fact that today's Democrat Party is a socialist party with a large number of members in government who have allied with --- and provided aid and comfort to --- real live communists in furtherance of an ideological agenda that continues to shift this country away from its founding as a classically liberal democracy.

Is there anyone here that thinks Dishonest Donald Douglas will back any of these accusations with documented facts? Of course not... Lotta talk, not a lot of substance.

Look, if Dishonest Don believes that today's Democrat [sic] party is a socialist party, all Donald needs to do is define his terms, and cite specifics. (This is something Donald very seldom--if ever--does, however.) Socialism means a specific thing, and it isn't "anything to the left of the Republic party, politically." Dishonest Donald can accuse anyone of anything he likes... but if all he offers is his blather, there's no reason anyone need believe him or take him seriously. The ability to form words and sentences in no way implies the necessity that those sentences express truth. It's baby simple to make some crazy allegation. The hard part--the part Dishonest Donald Douglas consistently fails to even attempt to do--is to prove one's allegations and accusations have merit.

The Democratic party has a platform. It's in writing and everything. I've no doubt that socialist and communist parties, both here in America and elsewhere, ALSO have documented pillars, goals, and plans. Democrats (and communists and socialists, too) say and do things that either do or do not match the platform or pillars of the Democratic, Communist, or Socialist party. If Donald wants to name any of these "large number of members [Democrats] in government who have allied with --- and provided aid and comfort to --- real live communists," and actually show whatever documentation he'd offering, that would be one thing... But all Dishonest Donald ever does is make wild-eyed allegations, and ignore all requests for proof, pleading that "everyone knows, or should know." It's bandwagoneering bullshit, plain and simple.

"After a long rambling post of incoherent denials about the fundamental anarcho-communism and anti-Semitism riddled throughout the Occupy movement..."

Sorry, Donald... Very little of my last post was about communism or anti-semitism. in fact, this was about it:

"As for Donald's other specious charge, anti-semitism, that's just bullshit on it's face. Donald is just flat out lying, and the fact that he fails to even attempt to support the lie should be all the proof one needs to see. Alleging the moon is cerise pink doesn't make it so, anymore than Dishonest Don accusing his many enemies (or even just one) of anti-semitism does.

The only folks who seem thrilled by the few anti-semitic attacks there have been at/around Occupy protests are the conservatives posting and regurgitating videos of them on their blogs and shriekingly accusing every Occupier of being just like this one guy (when generally, the video in question shows other Occupiers ignoring the guy, if not outright arguing against his bigotry.)"

Short, sweet, to the point. I guess I could've made my discussion of Donald's anti-semitism allegation shorter, if these few sentences were too hard for ol' Dishonest Don to follow:

Bullshit.

Let's hope that's not too "incoherent" for him to understand.

"Joe McCarthy investigated communists in government. McCarthy was right. He may have gone overboard, but the facts show that real communists had infiltrated the United States government. They were directed by Moscow and they were causing real damage to national security. Again, not all those accused by McCarthy were deemed national security threats, but when progressives throw out the "McCarthyism" card they're deceptively and malignantly casting a smokescreen in front of their support for Marxist-Leninist ideologies and goals. This is sinister. And that is why Walter James "Occupy" Casper continues his attempts hide behind the "McCarthyism" smear while working underground to destroy his political enemies through multifarious smear jobs, campaigns of workplace harassment and threats to freedom of speech, as well as cyber threats to the families of his enemies."

No, when progressives throw out the "McCarthyism" charge they're saying that the person they're accusing is going overboard, accusing and investigating thousands in the hope of finding ten. They're accusing that person or group of fear-mongering, creating distrust for one's neighbors, and generally doing more harm than good, both to individuals and to our American values, in the process.

And again... Dishonest Donald can allege "support for Marxist-Leninist ideologies and goals" until he's blue in the face, but until he backs the allegation with something more substantial than his say-so, he might just as well not bother talking. He's offering no evidence.

"multifarious smear jobs" - Quoting Donald, and explaining why much of what he says isn't worth the electrons with which his screeds are printed?

"campaigns of workplace harassment" - Sadly no, Donald. I have never engaged in any campaign of workplace harassment. Donald Douglas is lying.

"threats to freedom of speech" - Threats to freedom of speech? (This is a new one, and I haven't the foggiest clue what Dishonest Donald is referring to, here...) As far as I can tell, Donald Douglas is free to blow his horn of bullshit anywhere he wishes, including here at this blog. The only thing Dishonest Don not free to do, is avoid having folks tell him and the world how sour his notes sound, and how bad his playing is, when he does blow that horn of bullshit plenty.

"cyber threats to the families of his enemies" - Another Donald Douglas lie. No matter how many times he repeats it, it still never happened.

Donald can make accusations... but he does not--and cannot--back them up with any evidence. (Lets face it... EVERYTHING that has ever gone on between Donald Douglas and I has taken place in print, online. If I did it, there should be evidence of it. That he refuses to disclose ANY should tell you all you need to know.)

"Walter James "Occupy" Casper III is ready to attack his enemies as "McCarthyites" while malignantly turning his eyes from the horrors of tens of millions killed in the name of the very ideology he's pushing."

I suppose I might attack somebody as a "McCarthyite" somewhere, sometime... but so far, I haven't... but Donald STILL hasn't shown--y'know, with evidence and examples, I mean--the ideology I'm pushing, let alone whether that particular ideology is responsible for the death of anyone. Lotta talk, not a lot of substance.

Donald follows this with a quote of and link to accusations David Horowitz makes about Barbara Lee... ...and you know what? There's no documentation there, either. Just David Horowitz doin' the same kinda substance free talking on his site that Donald did in this post... ...and does pretty regularly at American Power.

The bottom line on Dishonest Donald Douglas is, I call BULLSHIT.

Show your hand, Donald, or admit that all you have to offer is the one lonely old and faded joker before us.

We feel sorry for ya Donald... but you are who you are. When push comes to shove, you're all hat, no cattle. You talk, talk, talk, but you never say anything. Without backing evidence, all your allegations and accusations might just as well be farts in a windstorm. You're nothing but a liar, and you kinda suck at it, besides.

Put up or shut up, Dr. Douglas.

Time since Dishonest Don's previous lash-out/lie: 24 hours, on the nose.

Dishonest Donald Douglas is a lying sack of shit... ...and day by day, post by slimy post, he proves it for all the world to see...

(The least he could do is get creative, and blame me for bombing the World Trade Center in 93, or being "patient zero" for AIDS, or something... I mean, if he's lying his fool ass off anyway, why not go to town? Somebody kidnapped that Lindbergh baby... Maybe it was me. Do we really know who killed Laura Palmer, or who shot JR? I just might be the man... Come on, Don... If you're going to lie, at least lie better.)

((Of course, there is another possibility that I hadn't considered up to now... This may just be a clever ploy...))

Kevin, it's possible that Dishonest Don might want you to find him a picture of Joe McCarthy, shirtless, to add to his collection of "stroke victims," if ya know what I mean...

Your mission, should you decide to accept it...

Dishonest Donald Douglas Lash-Out/Lie of the Day for Thursday, December 15, 2011

2011-12-15T05:00:00.035-05:00

In the post American Power: Democrats Backing Away from Occupy Wall Street, ostensibly about the cancellation of a meeting between representatives of the Occupy movement and the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Dishonest Donald Douglas slips in this fantasist bullshit about yours truly:

"Obviously not all Demo-Commies are backing away from these drug addicts, murderers and rapists. Walter James "Occupy" Casper aggressively defends the movement, whining about how it wouldn't be fair to brand all the movement's supporters as criminals and communists. No doubt Racist Repsac3 is especially thrilled by Occupy's anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish bankers."

Obviously, Dishonest Don "shirtless Newton gets me HAWT!!" Douglas refuses to back away from making shit up to soothe his ginormous wounded ego. (Avert the eyes, kiddies... Avert the eyes...) As usual, Ol' Don fails to provide anything in the way of quotes or other evidence for his accusations, expecting folks to just trust him because... well, because he's Dishonest Donald Douglas, I guess.

Harkening back to an old chestnut of Dishonest Donald Douglas--his"denial is demonic" gambit, (wherein saying that a dishonest accusation like the ones he recently made are untrue is "DENIAL," and therefore EVIL)--Dishonest Don accuses me of "aggressively" defending the movement against sweeping generalizations like the one he makes above. The facts are irrelevant; it's the denial that makes one demonic. (or something...)

I think I may have made such a "blasphemous denial" somewhere, but only because the accusations Dishonest Don and some of his Con playmates have been making are plainly untrue, but I kinda doubt it was "aggressive," either in content or quantity.

Many of the so-called "Occupy" infractions Dishonest Don lists turn out to be made by folks who don't necessarily support the movement, but just want a warm meal and a relatively safe place to sleep. Whether intentional or not, the policing (or lack of it) by the movement itself did permit all kinds of people, with all kinds of histories and backgrounds, to stay at or visit the Occupy camps. I have not read of a single case where a person with a liberal activist history has even been charged with being the perpetrator of one of Don's murders, rapes or drug addicted accusations. There may be one or two somewhere --EVERY group has it's bad actors, from liberal activists to televangelists to football coaches to elected and unelected Republicans and conservatives-- but so far, I haven't seen a single case where any liberal activist from an Occupy movement has been charged with murder, rape, or similar serious violent crime. In every case I'm aware of where someone has been caught, it has turned out to be a member of the general public, homeless, or with a criminal history --and in at least one case Cons cite, a person who had never even been to the camp, and whose crime was committed a few blocks away-- that has been the perpetrator.

As for Donald's other specious charge, anti-semitism, that's just bullshit on it's face. Donald is just flat out lying, and the fact that he fails to even attempt to support the lie should be all the proof one needs to see. Alleging the moon is cerise pink doesn't make it so, anymore than Dishonest Don accusing his many enemies (or even just one) of anti-semitism does.

Quod gratis affirmatur, gratis negatur. An accusation offered free of evidence doesn't even require rebuttal. (Of course, if folks actually followed that bit of logic, Dishonest Donald Douglas would have no readers aside his few sycophants and fellow travelers... ...and there would be no reason to keep writing these posts.) The only folks who seem thrilled by the few anti-semitic attacks there have been at/around Occupy protests are the conservatives posting and regurgitating videos of them on their blogs and shriekingly accusing every Occupier of being just like this one guy (when generally, the video in question shows other Occupiers ignoring the guy, if not outright arguing against his bigotry.) They can certainly generalize and accuse, these Cons... ...and they do seem thrilled to do it...

Besides... A political science professor who is alleging there are communists in the House and Senate? Communists?!? Somebody call Joe McCarthy...

Dishonest Donald Douglas Lash-Out/Lie of the Day for Wednesday, December 14, 2011

2011-12-14T03:01:00.001-05:00

In the post American Power: Orange County Chick-fil-A Cashier Fired for Racist 'Ching' and 'Chong' Receipts, a post about a cashier at a CA fast food place who typed "Ching" or "Chong" into the name slot on two occasions when she had an Asian customer, Dishonest Donald Douglas tries to gratuitously shoehorn my name into the post and then tell lies about me by adding the following:

I can't believe people like that. But you have to stand up against that kind of racism and bigotry. Unfortunately, progressive racism of the same stripe is pretty common online. I discussed it at Zilla's in the comments regarding the disgusting bigotry of Walter James "Racist" Casper III.

To review, this is what Dishonest Don alleged in that comment section regarding my supposed racism:

Repsac is also racist. He's stated previously that he first identifies people by race or ethnic background then treats them (segregates them) accordingly. I ---- we ---- treat people as individuals with dignity.

Of course he provides no link or quote, leaving folks to either trust him just on his word (which as this blog has repeatedly shown by example and citation, isn't worth shit), or investigate for themselves what the fuck he may be talking (which is to say, lying) about...

This was my response at the time:
(I think what Dishonest Don was/is crying "raaaaacist" about in the comment cited above is the situation discussed/linked to at #3. Unless/until Dishonest Donald Douglas is willing to more specifically pinpoint the conversation he's lying about, I have to assume it's that one...):
-------
* As near as I can figure it, Donald's racism charge, first launched after I called him out for bigoted posts like these, amounts to the following:

1) I didn't believe a comment made about Donald Douglas' celtic-sounding name and "swarthy" complexion was racist...

2) I called a black man a clown because I disagreed with something he said...

and

3) I said that it is not racist to mention--or even talk about--race... ...and as an example, said that it would not be racist for another professor to describe Dr. Douglas as "a grey-haired black man wearing a blue suit with a red tie, who was likely to be dining in the south quad cafeteria at this hour" to a new student or professor who had never met the man. Apparently, taking any notice of skin color or other "racial" feature is evidence that one judges people based on their ethnic or racial background. (And lest there be any confusion, this was a part of Donald's comment in reply: "...you welcome people who see me first as a black man and not a man." Yeah... Really.)

(Poor Donald couldn't even make it a whole day without lashing out with some kinda lie... It's almost like he's flirting with me... (If I had pigtails, Dishonest Donald Douglas would be sticking them in the inkwell... ...and I gotta say, it's getting really creepy that he cannot seem to control himself...)

Dishonest Donald Douglas Lash-Out/Lie of the Day for Tuesday, December 13, 2011

2011-12-13T07:00:00.004-05:00

In the post American Power: Occupy Wall Street to Attend Capitol Hill Meeting Chaired by Congressional Progressive Caucus, Dishonest Donald Douglas gratuitously adds the following:

Real revolutionary communists to meet with real congressional communists, despite the lies of their progressive enablers. See: "Communist REPSAC = CASPER Takes Umbrage?"

While the text contained in Dishonest Don's screengrab at his link pretty much exposes Donald's lie all by itself, I also responded when he first made the post... ...last February. (This was during his "communist as meaningless pseudo-political epithet of the month" phase, and thus everyone and everything he disagreed with became "Communist." Like most of his meaningless epithets, post-"nihilist," it didn't last long...)

The gist was (and is, in this current post, as well) Donald finds a picture or mention of 5-10 individuals representing the American Communist Party or some similar group handing out fliers or whatever at a large liberal rally or protest, and tries to convince folks that their presence conclusively proves everyone at the rally is a closet Marxist or Stalinist.

Another Day, Another Bullshit Gratuitous Mention By Dishonest Donald Douglas

2011-12-11T12:39:00.017-05:00

In a post primarily discussing a college professor's run-in with two Muslim students that resulted in the professor's resignation, Dishonest Don appended the following:

"No doubt Walter James "Occupy" Casper III would be down with that "female Muslim student." The dude called for an investigation of Pamela Geller and berates conservative counter-jihad bloggers as racist. For pro-terror progressives like Racist Repsac3, the professor had it coming and he obviously deserved to be out on his ass, pounding the pavement for a job."

Why?

Who the fuck knows...

As I've said before, if you want to know what professor Douglas is up to, the best way is often to watch what he accuses others of doing. The man claims I'm obsessed with him... ...and yet he won't stop lashing out with these nonsensical, counterfactual, gratuitous mentions in posts about other subjects, regardless of whether I write about him--or the subject in question--or not. His fact free suppositions about what he thinks I might believe or maybe would do as regards the main subject of these posts (the strand of thread he uses to drag me into his posts and then lash out at me for whatever dastardly belief or action he's invented for me in a given situation) are not supported by anything but his own fevered, hateful imagination. In most cases I've never even discussed the topic at hand, and even when I have, Donald doesn't quote me, making it far easier to put his words and ideas in my mouth and then attack his made-up bullshit version of what "I" actually said...

I get it... Dishonest Don doesn't like me... Of all the people he's fought with over the last several years, I'm obviously the one he most hates, for reasons known only to Donald himself... ...but dragging me into all these posts based solely on what he guesses I might say or believe about the subject at hand does little more than make ol' Don look pretty desperate to lash out at me. And if he really is so desperate that he's willing to throw these wild drunken punches at me as these bullshit "W James would no doubt..." posts make him seem, I actually feel kinda sorry for the guy...
---

Added, after doing a bit more reading:

As for the subject of the post itself--the resignation of the professor--there seems to be more to the story than Dishonest Donald Douglas was willing to offer.

The professor's blog, Christian Apologetics Project--listed on the syllabus for the class in question--lists Islam, Mormonism, and Jehovah's Witnesses as cults rather than as religions, and reads a whole lot like the average Pamela Geller screed where Islam is concerned. (And for the record, yes, I do believe that Pam Geller is a bigot. The only Muslims she seems to approve of or in any way support are former Muslims or dead ones. She opposes Muslim religious services for US soldiers on military bases, and even at the Pentagon.

I'm fine with folks opposed to the strain of Islam that creates and feeds terrorism... ...but I don't believe that every Muslim is a potential terrorist any more than I believe every person practicing any other religion is... There are millions of Muslims throughout the world, and the vast majority never had and never will have a single "terrorist" thought. Those who fight against mosques, footbaths, religious services, etc, strictly because Muslims will use them are bigots. Pamela Geller--and yes, some of her "anti-Jihad" blogging followers and fellow travelers too--are indeed bigoted against all Muslims (except the ones who converted and the ones who are dead, of course.)

This news story (non-Fox, not Con blogger) paint a more nuanced picture of the situation: TCC Disputes That Professor Was Forced Out For His Beliefs - CBS Dallas / Fort Worth

I don't know what actually happened... (That's what I was trying to determine by googling the story.) But even reading Professor Derengowski's account, it sounds like he's got piss-poor classroom management skills, although--if his account is to be believed--the Muslim students behaved badly, no matter their complaint.

On the other hand, if the professor was teaching the kind of things posted on his website--and again, note that he listed his blog as a resource on the class syllabus, making it more than just his personal opinions on his personal blog--I could see where Muslim students (and Mormon students, and Jehovah's Witness students, and atheist students, too) would have a legitimate complaint against him. And according to the news story above anyway, at least one Muslim student (seemingly not one of the ones who caused the disturbance in class, though the article could be more clear on that point) says he was.

Contrary to Dishonest Don's wild guess, I don't know enough about the story to venture much of an opinion on the whole of the story. Here's what I can say:

I think the professor was right to report the student's threat. One cannot be too careful.

I think the students were right to report what they believed to be classroom bias to college administrators. The e-mail the student sent around was more than likely over the top and inappropriate, though I'd have to know what it actually said to really judge--and no, I'm not willing to take the professor's characterization of it as Gospel truth. I have no problem with anyone on either side speaking out and pleading their case, and to whatever extent the e-mail was an attempt to persuade the other students in the class that Professor Derengowski was teaching in a biased manner, I don't have much of a problem with it... ...just as I don't have a problem with Professor Derengowski telling his side of the story on his blog, essentially trying to persuade others that he was in the right...

And perhaps it is naive of me, but I find it hard to believe that the administrators of the college were biased against him, too. I'm not saying they were right to reprimand him or require that he change how he teaches the course... but I am saying that unlike me (or Dishonest Don, for that matter), they had all the facts before them, and more than likely made a fair and judicious decision based on what they saw and heard.

I generally trust the officials we put in place to judge such things, and believe that even when they do get it wrong, that wrong will be set right further up the chain. I hope the campus police investigated the student's threat, evaluated the seriousness of it, and acted accordingly. The same goes for the college administrators who looked into the student's complaints of bias by Professor Derengowski. I don't know that they were right, but barring evidence to the contrary, I trust that they were, because that is their job. If they were wrong, I hope it gets fixed, somehow. (The fact that the professor voluntarily resigned might make that more difficult, however...)

In the end, Professor Derengowski felt he was being treated poorly and chose to leave... ...but from what I can tell based on what little evidence is available, that wasn't the fault of these Muslim students or some so-called "Terroristic Act of Jihad" (a designation which itself ought to tell the reader something about the professor making the claim--no matter how vehement, arguing with a professor in class, lodging a complaint with his superiors, or even circulating any kind of fact sheet, diatribe, or petition against him via e-mail, are hardly "terrorist" acts); Professor Derengowski made that choice all on his own.
---

Another Update: The more I read, the more I see why our Dr Douglas feels an affinity for Professor Derengowski. Those interested need only follow this link to read the professor's epic 13 page ranting diatribe against the two students who complained about him, in his own words. It is unprofessional, unethical, personally motivated holier-than-thou pompous clap-trap of exactly the sort our Dishonest Don regularly engages in when attacking others on his own blog. (Luckily, Donald has so far managed to keep himself from attacking his own students... ...though if he felt himself backed into a corner as a result of a complaint against him, is there anyone who doubts he would, the same way he's attacked those bloggers who've had the temerity to disagree with him?) A professor who would write a post like this, no matter the reason, almost certainly lacks the temperament and professional ethics required to teach. (And if Dr. Douglas keeps spewing the hate for all who disagree with him the way he has been, it'll likely be just a matter of time for him, as well...) YMMV...

According to Professor Derengowski:
1) the student quoted in the CBS article above was one of the two who lodged the complaint against him, and
2) he quotes portions of the text of the e-mail the female student sent to her classmates in his 13 page diatribe--though, again a lot like Dr. Douglas, he edits it, and intentionally hides her supporting links. (In his post, the quotes are interlaced with his own responses to them, some of which are pretty far "out there..." If you want to get a picture of who Dr. Douglas is defending, I urge you to follow the link (the same one I added above) and read it all, in context.) Judge for yourselves:

“Good morning classmates…
"I am Emailing you all some information that you might find interesting, relating to our World of Religions teacher."
"After the other day in class, I couldn’t help but feel that he was teaching my religion of Islam in such a hatred and bias way…"
"And to my findings, he was…”
This man has been teaching our class in his point of view, in the way that he thinks it should be…”
“He is not being informative about religions, but rather creating a religious intolerance.”
“This is a philosophy class, he is supposed to be opening our minds and getting us to understand why other people believe certain things…”
“I’m sure some of you have felt that he does slander other religions’ beliefs and speaks ill of some as well.”
“I knew me and Muhammad were not crazy speaking up against how he was teaching.”
“It wasn’t the information and facts we were debating against so much, he was teaching it all wrong, and taking so many things out of context, focusing on the ugly things instead of teaching the actual religion itself…”
“I will let you all read what our teacher has written about Islam and Mormonism, the two religions he continues to speak out against in our class.”
"I will not be attending this man’s class again, and I will be showing the dean of our school."
"By the way… He gave us both zero’s on our quizzes we fairly earned 6/6 on that day in class, and an absence because we left a few minutes early…"
"We weren’t going to sit there any longer and allow him to slander our beliefs the way he was that day…"
"Enjoy:”

That Dishonest Donald Douglas Has To Lie About The Folks He Hates Should Tell You All You Need To Know About Who He Is

2011-12-07T14:34:00.006-05:00

When they have to lie about what you say or stand for, they've already lost the fight. You know it, I know it, and when it comes right down to it, they know it too...

"That is the complete rejection of values, decency, restraint and traditionalism. And that's the core of the Occupy Wall Street societal agenda. No gender recognition. Pairing sexually with whomever it feels right and good, damn world historical norms of propriety and protection of the most vulnerable. As we saw in New York, women were unsafe at the Zuccotti Park encampment. They had to self-segregate to protect themselves against being raped. But that's all part of the movement, and no doubt man-boy love and polygamy as well, and only God knows what else. This is of course the end stage of the progressive agenda. This is what creepy radical leftists like Walter James Casper III endorse when they pump out brainless tweets exhorting commies, druggies, and hippies to "Occupy wherever you are." It's criminal. It's nihilist. It's deathly."

Donald--who says he supports full rights for gay Americans (as long as they don't act "gay," or try to use those rights to legally marry in the eyes of the state...or God forbid, knit)--equates homosexuals and those who believe that the government shouldn't treat them any differently than straight folks, with pedophilia and support for man-boy love--(no bigotry there, right?), then--finding some out there website that questions societal norms, and also supports the Occupy movement (and note what I said: THEY support Occupy; there is ZERO indication that Occupy supports THEM, except in Dr. Douglas' fevered imagination)--equates his straw man fake gay/pedophilia rights movement with the Occupy movement, and damns everyone to Hell based on connections he made up out of whole cloth.

In every movement, there are fringe players and groups who want to piggyback on the whole to advance their own causes. The Tea Party wasn't racist, but there were racist players associated with it. Folks opposed to abortion are overwhelmingly good people who just believe something different than I do... ...but there are folks who were willing to murder doctors and patients and blow up buildings in support of their cause. The people at Dishonest Donald Douglas' "Free Society" website say they support the Occupy movement, and maybe they do--but they no more speak for the movement than Donald speaks for mainstream conservatives. Generalizing about the whole of a movement by pointing to the fringe hangers on is dishonest... ...and everyone, including Donald, damned well knows it.

And by this point it should go without saying that the reason Donald doesn't actually show that his accusations about me have any merit at all--say, with quotes, links, or citations--is because he cannot. As is so often the case, Donald's arguments against me require him to make shit up, and then attack his own lies. The fact of the matter is, for all his bluster and bullshit, the only one talking about man-boy love or pedophilia is Donald Douglas... ...and perhaps folks ought to be asking themselves why...)

When they have to lie about what you say and stand for, they've already lost.

By that standard, dishonest Donald Douglas lost long, long ago.
---

While folks like Donald Douglas seem eager to hide what those he disagrees with have to say by moderating his comment sections for content and limiting the number of verbatim quotes, citations, and links he uses when blogging, I want nothing more than to give folks every opportunity to read exactly what Dr. Douglas has to say, in all of it's contextual glory, and thus will quote and link to his exact words as often as I can...

Everyone please, go look at Donald Douglas, and particularly at the post(s) in question. Read everything he has to say. Weigh his arguments--as well as the arguments of those who disagree with him, of course--judge as fairly as your conscience allows you to, and come to your own conclusions.

I ask for nothing more.

And I ask for nothing less.

BTDT Files - RAAAAACIST!!!

2011-11-27T11:29:00.003-05:00

As near as I can figure it, Dishonest Donald Douglas' RAAAAACIST!!! charge against me, first launched after I called him out for bigoted posts like these, amounts to the following:

1) I didn't believe a comment made about Donald Douglas' celtic-sounding name and "swarthy" complexion was racist...

2) I called a black man a clown because I disagreed with something he said...

and

3) I said that it is not racist to mention--or even talk about--race... ...and as an example, said that it would not be racist for another professor to describe Dr. Douglas as "a grey-haired black man wearing a blue suit with a red tie, who was likely to be dining in the south quad cafeteria at this hour" to a new student or professor who had never met the man. Apparently, taking any notice of skin color or other "racial" feature is evidence that one judges people based on their ethnic or racial background. (And lest there be any confusion, this was a part of Donald's comment in reply: "...you welcome people who see me first as a black man and not a man." Yeah... Really.)

The Dishonesty of Donald Douglas, Part 99

2011-11-27T11:20:00.003-05:00

A quick review...

After two weeks of being ignored by me and everyone else here at American Nihilist, Donald Douglas lashes out at me by name--on Thanksgiving Day, no less, suggesting that if he were to mention the name of the retailer where his also nameless wife works, her life would be threatened by me.

Basis? Zero. No one here has ever threatened to harm Donald Douglas, any member of his family, or anyone he has ever met. Rather than just enjoying the day with his family, Donald felt the need to launch an unprovoked attack on me on Thanksgiving. God only knows why...

Late that night, I respond, making note of the fact that: Even on Thanksgiving, our poor pathetic little friend Dr. Donald Douglas cannot resist lashing out...

Predictably I suppose, Donald's response to being called out for his Thanksgiving attack post was, well, a little over the top--not to mention gravely dishonest--from the suggestion that I attacked him, to his suggestion that anyone here threatened to or has any interest in or desire to "rape his wife!"

(As near as I can figure it, someone in the comments made a Beavis and Butthead joke, and poor Donald failed to understand the cultural reference... Whatever his motives, Donald is lying... No one made any lewd or sexually-charged attacks on his wife--indeed, we mostly feel sorry for her, given the man to whom she's married. Given his penchant for hyperbole, I've no doubt that every mis-squeeze of the toothpaste tube is an attack on the very foundation of marriage and the traditional family, itself... or something.)

While his friend Zilla picked up and regurgitated his story, initially posting the following...

Update: Last month Zilla of the Resistance: Stand Against Evil - Never Let it Win I posted in support of my friend Donald Douglas who runs the American Power blog, who has, for years, been under relentless attack by hateful leftists who have even gone so far as to try to get him fired from his job - simply because they disagree with his political opinions. Donald has a new post up today that is horrifying and stomach churning: now American Power: Deranged Stalker Walter James Casper III Fires Up the Criminal Hate-Blogging for the Holidays the sick freaks are talking about wanting to rape Donald's wife. There is no level of depravity too low for the cretinous enemies of free speech to sink to in its unyielding mission to intimidate those whose opinions they disagree with into silence. Absolutely disgusting.

...truth (in the form of a comment made by me at her blog) bade her to check the facts, and update her post accordingly, which she did:

Update: Last month I posted in support of my friend Donald Douglas who runs the American Power blog, who has, for years, been under relentless attack by hateful leftists who have even gone so far as to try to get him fired from his job - simply because they disagree with his political opinions. Donald has a new post up today describing the fact that the blog dedicated in its entirety to attacking him, could not even leave him alone on Thanksgiving Day. The comments section there includes some snide remarks about his marriage. How very sad that some people apparently have nothing better to do, on a day dedicated to reflecting on all of the things for which one should be thankful, than to pick at a man over every single thing he ever writes on his blog, and then bitch about it when that man discusses the relentless attacks. But then again, Thanksgiving is an American holiday, and gratitude is something expressed by people who actually have functioning souls, so I suppose this should not be surprising. (Yes, this update did previously say something else, but after being asked to do further investigation, I did and have amended this post, as promised.)

While she still gets some of the facts wrong--claiming it was we "nihilists" who couldn't leave Donald alone on Thanksgiving, rather than the other way 'round--I give Zilla credit for at least trying to tell the truth. This alone shows her to be a far better class of person than Donald could ever be, were he to even try, anymore...

"How very sad that some people apparently have nothing better to do, on a day dedicated to reflecting on all of the things for which one should be thankful, than to pick at a man over every single thing he ever writes on his blog, and then bitch about it when that man discusses the relentless attacks."

We agree, Zilla... We agree... (Surely Zilla was referring to Donald, since he was the guy attacking others on Thanksgiving day, Right? Of course, she was... ...and like I said, we're with her.)

The fact that Zilla updated her post to reflect the truth of the matter (more-or-less, anyway) had zero effect on Dr. Douglas, of course...

First, in another diatribe worthy of a drama queen short fiction award, Donald reposted Zilla's initial blurb on his blog, in spite of the fact that she had updated it to more closely resemble the truth hours earlier. As of this writing, it remains, unchanged... ...just as though Zilla had never called his veracity into question by updating it...

This post also repeats the discredited claim of sexualized references to his wife, including the emboldened admonition that "They would rape her given the chance." Donald is nothing if not consistent, no matter the facts. (He also seems to believe that if he doesn't link to me, he isn't attacking me, even if he alleges that I would rape (or later, kill) his wife in his blog post(s). That's some kinda odd definition of an attack, right there...) You'll have to follow the link for the rest of his largely paranoid-sounding rant... Given it's lack of substance--or for that matter, any tether to reality--it's not even worth discussing.

Of course, that bit of dishonesty wasn't enough... Donald had to try again to persuade Zilla and her readers that his bullshit was worthy of their consideration:

Zilla: Repsac3 is lying. His blog is a stalking hate site, not a place for commentary. He claims to have started it as a joke but it quickly became a focal point of attacks on my life (nothing compares to this, I can assure you). Repsac3 has a deranged obsession that is manifestly not healthy. His behavior is essentially criminal, but the police action required to get him to stop his harassment and threats is costly to mobilize. If you engage him know in advance that most what he says is not true and totally self-serving. He is a manifest pathological liar. Well wishes he might send are fake and designed only to inoculate himself from criticism. Repsac is also racist. He's stated previously that he first identifies people by race or ethnic background then treats them (segregates them) accordingly. I ---- we ---- treat people as individuals with dignity. Repsac has a history of stalking people. He harassed my friend Skye from Midnight Blue, following her around even to her YouTube pages. She warned me about him years ago as a pervert. He is not to be trusted and by allowing him to comment here I warn you that he'll pollute your community like a despicable troll and your community will be harmed. He's toxic that way. If he were decent he'd retire his attack blog and stop with his dementia and obsessions. People like this actually need help. I'd not feed his psychosis for fear of the bad karma and actual violence he's wont to foment. Walter James Casper III is a cancer.

As usual, however, Donald makes these allegations without a shred of evidence... Tall tales are all he has...

A few points:

* Donald accuses me of some undefined criminal acts, but asserts it would be too costly for the police to respond to them. Does that sound plausible to anyone?!? Donald has at various times accused me of stalking, harassment, and most recently, conspiracy to commit rape and/or murder... but he won't call the police about any of it because it would cost too much to have them respond?!? Sorry, Donald, but that's taking the desire to keep taxes low to a pretty fucking absurd level... (That, or perhaps the man is just lying... We report, you decide.)

* As near as I can figure it, Donald's racism charge, first launched after I called him out for bigoted posts like these, amounts to the following:

1) I didn't believe a comment made about Donald Douglas' celtic-sounding name and "swarthy" complexion was racist...

2) I called a black man a clown because I disagreed with something he said...

and

3) I said that it is not racist to mention--or even talk about--race... ...and as an example, said that it would not be racist for another professor to describe Dr. Douglas as "a grey-haired black man wearing a blue suit with a red tie, who was likely to be dining in the south quad cafeteria at this hour" to a new student or professor who had never met the man. Apparently, taking any notice of skin color or other "racial" feature is evidence that one judges people based on their ethnic or racial background. (And lest there be any confusion, this was a part of Donald's comment in reply: "...you welcome people who see me first as a black man and not a man." Yeah... Really.)

* Donald also seems to believe that commenting in response to posts is the same as stalking... The fact is, the political blogosphere really isn't all that large... As soon as one ventures away from the major sites, it's often the same small group of screen names, wherever one goes... That I responded to a particular blogger at both her own blog AND at a YouTube video or two isn't really all that unusual... ...unless one is Donald Douglas, I guess... For the rest of us, seeing and speaking to the same group of bloggers, left and right, on multiple sites is a pretty common occurrence... YMMV...
---

Obviously, Donald is going to continue to make these fact free, unsubstantiated allegations against me.

Just as obviously, there will be fools gullible enough to believe whatever lies he tells... All I can do is to continue to post the facts, hope that those intelligent and honest enough to think for themselves will see them, and pray that the gullible sycophantic fools are few and far between...
(A few folks have suggested that his allegations of criminal behavior meet the legal test for libel... ...and while I've not taken them seriously up to now, the fact that some of his blog buddies are now reposting his lies without bothering to even vet them first, has me wondering whether I ought to reconsider...)

So obviously, this blog isn't going anywhere for a long time to come...
---

Sadly, this somewhat innocuous comment, once again calling Donald's veracity into question, will be my last at Zilla's blog.

Citing her friendship with Donald and her desire that he not be made "uncomfortable" when coming to her blog (which exposing his lies for all to see would likely do), Zilla banned me from making any further comment there...

C'est la vie... "Birds of a feather...," I suppose...
Still, of all the folks who've limited my ability to discuss things with them, her motives--at least thus far--are the most pure... She's not claiming I've misbehaved, or that Donald hasn't... She's simply saying that as his friend, she wants him to be comfortable at her blog... Refreshingly honest, if ya ask me... (All that remains to be seen is whether she personally continues or condones attacks on me at her blog... If not, she retains my admiration; if so, well, I'd be surprised...and exceedingly disappointed...)
---

Here is the text of the e-mail I sent her this morning (before seeing that she had restricted my ability to comment, obviously):

I debated whether to post that last comment, but figured it was innocuous enough not to offend much of anyone other than the person lying about my good name... I shan't comment at your blog on the subject again... (though I AM writing a new post for my own blog that includes the comments made on yours by all concerned... You're welcome to stop by and see that I fairly represent the truth of the matter, if you wish--and correct me if I misstate anything, of course--once it is posted... I had intended to drop you a link, but given your latest comments, I won't... but nevertheless, you're always welcome to read, comment, and even vehemently disagree...)

While it is your blog, I humbly request that you not allow Donald to launch attacks on me while asking me not to respond to them, whether it be in the comments section, or by repeating his specious claims--particularly without vetting them first--in your own posts.

I only came to your blog because I was falsely accused there, both initially, and yesterday... Had I never been mentioned, I likely never would've made a comment...

As for the rest, we disagree...

My blog responds to attacks... It seldom initiates them.

In this latest episode, for example, we at American Nihilist were perfectly content to eat our turkey and stuffing in peace and not think of Dr Douglas at all--the same way we hadn't for the previous two weeks--until Donald decided to accuse me of some veiled threat to his wife as a part of his Thanksgiving Day post. All the rest flows from his initial unprovoked and unwarranted attack on my character and my good name... No matter how you chose to characterize it on your blog, I know you read the posts, and I know you know that what I say here is true. And that's good enough for me...

Sure... maybe it is unusual to have a blog devoted to refuting the attacks made on us and on our political and social opinions by Dr Douglas... But given the number of attacks the man has launched, it has become a necessary tool and a permanent record. You needn't agree with either it's existence or it's purpose, and as long as you tell the truth, you're welcome to criticize whatever we say, there... ...though as I said, I'd appreciate the opportunity to respond, should you choose to do so... But we're not going to go away, especially so long as Dr Douglas continues to tell such lies...

That said, I appreciate your position... I wouldn't be a part of this whole business either, if I didn't have to be... Assuming you keep attacks on me off of your blog, I'll never comment on the subject there again... (If your intent was to ban my comments altogether, please let me know... Until I hear otherwise, I'm going to think positive, and assume it wasn't, and that comments regarding other subjects are still welcome...)

Again, I'm sorry the disagreement between Donald and I ever touched down on your blog shore... It'll not happen again, at least by my hand... The rest, Zilla, is up to you...

Poor Donald Douglas Finds Himself Unable To Tell The Truth... Again... UPDATED

2011-11-26T06:00:00.011-05:00

Contrary to the specious claims in Donald Douglas' most recent dishonest attack post, it wasn't me who fired up anything... In fact it was poor pathetic Dr. Douglas who, in a bid for attention after being ignored by everyone who posts or comments at this blog for the last few weeks, decided to lash out in anger on Thanksgiving Day:

I can understand that Donald feels the need to justify why so few of his readers comment on his blog, but it's pretty pathetic that he feels the need to make me the scapegoat for his own failures, and to be so fucking dishonest...

No one who has anything to do with me has ever threatened poor pathetic Donald Douglas or any member of his family, on or offline. No one has broken any law as regards his person or property. His claims and insinuations to the contrary are lies, the product of a man whose posts and comments often cannot stand up to the slightest bit of scrutiny.

I understand that he gets upset when folks see him for who and what he truly is, but the dishonesty is all too plain to see... His accusations are all devoid of any proof. He says I am responsible for threats, but never quotes or links to a single one. He claims I've committed criminal acts, but never involves the police or legal representation.

The reason is simple.

Donald Douglas lashes out with libelous attacks and dishonest claims of wrongdoing when things don't go his way, but knows he cannot back his lies with anything of substance, so he doesn't even try... He seems to think his readers are too stupid to think for themselves and will believe whatever he tells them, but the fact is, they're not, and they often don't... ...and knowing that scares him, all the more...

Folks can agree with me or don't, but unlike Donald Douglas, I will always show you why I believe the things I do. While Donald refuses to quote, link, or cite much of anything he alleges I've said or done--pretending it has something to do with denying American Nihilist bloghitz, as though anyone here cares about such a thing--I will always quote exactly what Donald said, and link to the place he said it... Unlike Donald, I'm not afraid to show my work and have others decide for themselves whether my claims do or do not have merit.

Donald is angry and insecure... ...but if he thinks lashing out at me with such obviously dishonest bullshit is going to do anything but expose his anger and his insecurity to a wider audience, he really ought to reconsider his foolish behaviors and their effects on his online, professional, and personal reputation...

I can't speak for everyone here, but Donald can call me all the names he thinks he needs to, if that's what makes him feel better about himself... Nevertheless, this blog will continue to quote Donald Douglas' own words, link to where he said them, and allow those who choose to come here to read them--and our reactions to them--for themselves... ...and then make up their own names for Donald (or for the writer(s) here), if that is their wish...

When Donald lashes out--as he did on Thanksgiving Day, after being ignored by everyone at this blog for the previous two weeks--we're all too glad to throw the second punch in reply... and we likely will, as long as Donald keeps spewing his venomous bile and lashing out at those who don't choose to see the world through the hate-filled, black and white lenses he so often employs.

UPDATE: Donald's stock in trade response to being called out? Gratuitous mention(s) in post(s) ostensibly discussing some other topic. Donald Douglas is so pathetically predictable...
---

While folks like Donald Douglas seem eager to hide what those he disagrees with have to say by moderating his comment sections for content and limiting the number of verbatim quotes, citations, and links he uses when blogging, I want nothing more than to give folks every opportunity to read exactly what Dr. Douglas has to say, in all of it's contextual glory, and thus will quote and link to his exact words as often as I can...

Everyone please, go look at Donald Douglas, and particularly at the post(s) in question. Read everything he has to say. Weigh his arguments--as well as the arguments of those who disagree with him, of course--judge as fairly as your conscience allows you to, and come to your own conclusions.

I ask for nothing more.

And I ask for nothing less.

Donald Douglas - Reading Comprehension - November 25, 2011 Edition

2011-11-25T09:00:00.011-05:00

Because sometimes, the urge to attack the individuals and groups one disagrees with and to portray them as eternally and unfailingly "eeeeevil" overwhelms the ability to pay enough attention to understand what the words and phrases mean, and actually get the story right.
~~~

The NYTimes.com article says

"'Those in a more modest income situation are the people who are going to the Wal-Marts and the Best Buys and the Targets at 8, 9, 10, 11 p.m. with little kids in tow because they can’t afford a baby sitter,” said Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a retail consultant firm. “It’s a very unpleasant shopping experience, frankly, for a lot of people.'"

Donald Douglas reads the passage above -- quotes it on his blog -- and says:

"Right. Kids are unpleasant. Can't afford a babysitter. Give me a break."

Kids are unpleasant? Words fail the man.
---

Previously

Added: Moar phunneeeer: Check Donald's 5:30 PM post, about his own 2:00 AM Wal-Mart shopping experience. Check the pictures he posted...

Anyone see those little kids in tow, just like the guy in the NYT article said (and that our erstwhile nemesis pshawwed as though it was ridiculous commie nihilist nonsense)? One has to wonder whether Donald bothers to read his own blog, sometimes...

Maybe it was a pleasant experience for all concerned and maybe it wasn't, but those are young kids out at the stores at 2:00 AM on Black Friday morning, rather than home with babysitters... ...which is just what the nice man quoted in the New York Times said...

His ranting is self-refuting...

Even on Thanksgiving, our poor pathetic little friend Dr. Donald Douglas cannot resist lashing out...

American Power: Early Thanksgiving Dinner

"This wasn't as bountiful a spread as we usually lay out. My wife had to be at work at 2:00pm. She's an assistant store manager at a major national arts and crafts retailer. I'd mention the name, but it's not worth having my wife's life threatened by the likes of Walter James Casper III and his demonic progressive totalitarians."

Is anyone the slightest bit surprised that this is how Donald spends his holidays? Lashing out, unprovoked, at folks he disagrees with politically or socially? Could there be anything more sad?

My reply, in any case:

Who Would Our Donald Vote For?

2011-11-10T17:22:00.001-05:00

Took a stroll over to Don’s little cesspool because I was curious to see who he might be supporting in the race to unseat the current usurper in the White House. Would he be supporting the serial groper or the victim of some sort of memory loss disorder or the RINO? It’s kind of sad to see him relying on Atlas Shrugs for analysis:

The struggle for the nomination is now. And I am so sick and tired of the enemedia and the subversive left destroying our most effective leaders on the right in their attempt to make them unelectable, all the while exalting vacuous vassals like Obama. They tried to do it to Reagan. They destroyed George W. Bush. They think they have done it to Sarah Palin, and now they are working on doing it to Herman Cain.

I didn’t realize we had destroyed Dubya. He finished his term and went back to Texas and is likely to have crawled into a bottle. Everyone’s happy. Sarah Palin seems to have taken herself out of the race, but it’s certainly better for her grifting if she can continue to play the martyr. And I admit that with Cain it’s a matter of he said, she said and she said and she said, etc.

If they think they are going to pick our candidate this time (as they did with McCain in ‘08), they are in for a very rude surprise. Not. This. Time. We cannot let our domestic enemies define our leaders. We cannot let our domestic enemies destroy our most effective voices on the right. You must have seen by now that the more rational, the more effective, the more patriotic a Republican leader is, the more he or she is marginalized, ridiculed, destroyed.

Love “domestic enemies.” I think that with Obama in the WH that would make Pam and Donald the domestic enemies. But, at least I now know that Palin, Perry and Cain are the most rational, effective and patriotic leaders the GOP has. Good to know. Course that’s coming from Atlas Shrugs which isn’t a big source of rational.

Back to Donald for a little recap:

Pamela highlights Michele Bachmann and expects her to improve in the polls. I'm not so sure, although I wish it were so.

Best I can tell is that he’s still supporting Bachmann, but at least he’s still sane enough to know she’s out of it. Does Pam even realize that Bachmann doesn’t have a campaign staff anymore and surely no one is sending her money?

Still a year of this to go. How crazy will they be in 11 months?

Tuesday, November 1, 2011, 1:00 AM - American Power: Justina Jensen and Walter James Casper III:

And the immediate comparison I had was to my deranged stalker Walter James Casper III (pictured at bottom above), who has now escalated his campaign of harassment to include personal e-mail stalking and threats. Like Jensen, there is no bright line of wrongdoing for Walter James Casper. He's perhaps even worse, for at his photo above, which is not Photoshopped, there's a bit of a diabolical smirking in evidence. And it turns out that when the Independent Realist blocked Walter James Casper from commenting at his blog, criminal Casper tracked him down on Facebook, and Independent Realist blocked him at that location as well. See Independent Realist's reply to me from last week:
Thank you Dr. Douglas for the kind words and links to the Realist. I am afraid that the longer Walter (Walter James Casper, III) continues with his delusional rantings, the further he will slip down into the depths of his paranoia. There is nothing that we can do other than to block him from our blogs and such (I've already had to block him from my blog and Facebook page), and simply allow him to rant on his own site. Eventually he will alienate himself from even his own followers as they begin to realize the depth of his illness.

And as Walter is reading this blog, I would offer him this advice: seek professional help and seek it now. Do not wait.
See the whole thing: "The Independent Realist: Repsac3, W. James Casper - The Final Word"

WALTER JAMES CASPER III = RACIST REPSAC3! A sociopathic poster manchild for the progressive left. Dude, you're clinical. Get some freakin' help before you hurt someone!

PREVIOUSLY: "Continuing Lies by Cowardly Hate-Blogger W. James Casper in Left's Demonic Workplace Intimidation Campaign"

This bizarre offering is another in Donald's "this reminds me of..." gratuitous mention series. Apparently, a whole lotta things make Dr. Douglas think of me, and whenever he does, he has to lash out in anger... ...all because I disagree with him, and have the temerity to say so.

In another step or three down from his famous "you look like a criminal" post, Donald now believes he can detect diabolical evil in my smile. (And the man thinks *I* need help.)

There is no e-mail stalking. There are no threats. Every time he writes another of these attack posts, I send one comment in reply... and as he is now only accepting comments via e-mail on certain posts, that comment has been e-mailed to his public address when necessary, just as Donald himself suggested.

And relying on "Runaway Thom" Tuttle for help... Well, what else can Donald do? Cowards like these--folks who don't allow comments that contradict their posts, and pick up their marbles and run home to hide behind the skirts of mommy moderation when they cannot intelligently argue a point--they have to stick together, I guess... Who else will have them or take them seriously, after all?

The oddest cut of all... The guy who won't let any of his readers see anything I actually say calling me a coward... It's almost enough to make a guy BWAAAHAHA!!!

Friday, October 28, 2011, 4:00 PM - American Power: Continuing Lies by Cowardly Hate-Blogger W. James Casper in Left's Demonic Workplace Intimidation Campaign:

"W. James Casper continues to lie about his involvement in the long campaign of workplace attacks that have been repudiated by the army of righteous conservatives in recent weeks. (See: "Online Disagreements and The Offline World We Live In...")

Typically, the epic coward at American Nihilist ignored the universal moral approbation directed against all of those making the attacks. Further, he's now justifying the attacks by saying that both sides do it and that it's not just a progressive thing, or something. Casper keeps claiming that "right-of-center" bloggers are also among those who've launched demonic campaigns. And that's just more lies. Specifically, Casper is lying about E.D. Kain's ideological attacks of workplace harassment." (blah, blah, blah) "...you don't have a right to harass someone for speaking their mind, but that's what E.D. Kain did and that's what W. James Casper has endorsed. Indeed, that's who James Casper is.

W. James Casper, who, folks will recall, endorsed racist attacks against me by The Pale Scot, praises the workplace campaigns as not only deserved but effective..."

(blah, blah, blah)

blah, blah, blah) "As for the others, they haven't been worth my time, but it's not because their attacks have been effective, as racist W. James Casper claims. In fact, that's just more lies from Comrade Racist Repsac3." (blah, blah, blah) "Despite this, W. James Casper, for over a year, has been spreading a disinformation campaign about how Kain's allegedly right-of-center." (blah, blah, blah)

"And that's yet another example of the kind of routine lies spread by Racist Repsac3.

Now I probably wouldn't be commenting on this again, but some of Racist Repsac3's lies are particularly egregious." (blah, blah, blah)

(blah, blah, blah) "And I take exception to W. James Casper's sick moral relativism. In Casper's nihilist hate world, speaking my mind on my blog is tantamount to making death threats like those of Deb Frisch against Jeff Goldstein's 2 year-old child. And let's be clear about this, THAT IS EVIL. W. James Casper is consumed by hatred of difference." (blah, blah, blah)

(blah, blah, blah)

"And to top it off, Repsac3 alleges that I had it coming. No, asshole W. James Casper. It's never okay to campaign against someone's work because someone legally spoke their mind on a blog. Hey asshole W. James Casper, there's no justification for it, and everyone can see through the bullshit and lies that you're spewing. You are a hate-blogger and stalker. I close the comments to my posts (like this one) not for ideological reasons, but because you are banned. YOU ARE BANNED, GET IT, STUPID FUCK? You are not to comment here because I said so. But you have no values, no morals, so you continue your hate campaign, attempting to harass and intimidate at my comment threads. You are a stalker. You long ago crossed the line, and that's what my conservative posse called out, and that's what your own commenter has ridiculed. It's not funny anymore: YOU HAVE CROSSED THE LINE.

Stop the hate. Stop the intimidation. Stop the threats against me. Stop endorsing, promoting, supporting, republishing, distributing, and football spiking the workplace attacks against me. These are designed for one thing and one thing only: to do me harm because progressives can't stand the light of truth being flashed on their ideological hatred. And that's why you continue to back the attacks. And that's why you have escalated to a personal campaign against me and my family.

Stop contacting me, W. James Casper. Stop attempting to intimidate me. And for God's sake, stop lying about your involvement in all of these attacks. American Nihilist has been the one-stop shop for the workplace attacks against me from day one. You are a sick, sick asshole. Quit e-mailing me. And get some help"

Just more specious attack and whiny nonsense from Dr. Douglas... If he could prove much of anything he alleges, he'd provide supporting links. That he tells folks what I said rather than quoting me verbatim or providing links and citations should be all the proof anyone should need to show that Donald Douglas is a whole lotta of talk, and zero substance...

My reply: Dishonesty and Ad Hom: Is this all Donald Douglas Has?

Tuesday, October 25, 2011, 6:00 AM - American Power: Update on Zilla's Resistance Honor Roll:

"And very interestingly, The Independent Realist has administered a brutal flogging to stalking asshat W. James Casper. In fact, Independent Realist engaged RACIST = REPSAC only to come away convinced he wasted his time on an epic loser. See, "Repsac3, W. James Casper - The Final Word"

The Independent Realist has two other entries, here and here. Amazing isn't it? It took Independent Realist about two seconds to pin down W. James "Costanza" Casper. The idiot's completely deranged. It's too freakin' obvious. Indeed, Casper the hate-blogger responded with some incoherent ramblings attempting to deflect Independent Realist's devastating takedown, only to get hammered by one of his own progressives in the comments! His commenter calls out RACIST = REPSAC as crossing the line, indicating that Casper's campaign of intimidation is becoming "a real drag." Of course, you can't help someone who refuses wise counsel. RACIST = REPSAC's a nut case. A raving hatemonger and lunatic. He rambles at the post, spewing lies about how he's going to stop stalking me, and then says screw it, and starts up again with a new sets of rants.

Clinical.

Kudos to The Independent Realist. Thanks for taking this idiot Casper out back for a smackdown! The dude needs some help, no doubt. Sad."

Many believe this "Independent Realist" fellow (Robert P. Tuttle III) took his marbles and ran home after pretty badly losing the argument on a whole host of fronts, not the least of which was that he had no idea what he was talking about or even what the facts were... (Facts which Dr. Douglas here is all too happy to let Robert continue to fudge, as long as Don can convince himself that Robert didn't come out looking like a hypocritical douchebag who had no business trying to wade into the situation, having no idea what actually happened, or even who the players were, and who skulked away, defeated, when those facts became painfully obvious.)

But read it all for yourself, and make up your own mind... (And note that, like Donald, Robert moderates his comment section for ideological content--refusing to post comments he would prefer folks didn't read--and that he is pretty stingy with the verbatim quotes, citations and links, too, preferring to paraphrase what others say, building straw men that're much easier to knock down than the real thing. Typical... There must be an "Official Wingnut Blogger Style Guide" somewhere that tells these creeps that the LAST thing you want is to ever have anyone--even people who're inclined to agree with you, even--read anything your opposition actually says... All this moderation and paraphrasing just seems altogether cowardly to me, though...)
Anyway, follow the links, and judge for yourself:

The Devil's American Nihilist Henchmen: Robert P. Tuttle, III Picks Up His Marbles And Runs Home In A Huff

It's from this last post's comment section where we run into Don's progressive who suggests I'm "crossing the line" and "indicates that Casper's campaign of intimidation is becoming 'a real drag.'"
Here, in part, is what that progressive actually said:

It should be obvious that anyone with enough brains to follow your point-by-point, and possessing sufficient objectivity to be persuaded by the evidence, can see that Don is irrational all on their own. His ranting is self-refuting. I think that in Donabonics this is known as “SELF DOUCHE” or something like that. The other wingnuts lining up behind Don are not going to be persuaded facts any more than Don has been led to the obviously correct conclusion by the same facts. Their hatred of what you stand for justifies, in their minds, their mindless hatred of you and their mindless assurance that you must be to blame. Reason is impotent against ideology.

This blog began as a parody. It used to be kind of funny. Not JBW funny, but who is? Don says about a dozen mock-worthy things every day. But lately, this blog has been all talk and no mock.

At the same time, Don has been breaking down in a fashion that is not so funny. He has let slip that he is in danger of becoming one of the “losers” that Rick Santelli complained about in his “seminal” teabagger rant. He’s got family issues, and, perhaps, he’s facing some real pressure at work. While his online persona is devoid of merit, as he is quick to point out, he does useful work. While it might be satisfying to some around here, it’s hard for me to imagine that anyone would be better off with Don out of a job and his students left in the care of some freeway-flying adjunct. Not that you’re trying to affect his job status, but paranoid obsession has to be distracting him from the real world issues that should be occupying his time.

When he posts about you, which he will, let it go. There are no rational people who will be persuaded by anything he says and the people that will take him seriously cannot be influenced by anything that you can write.

Please, bring back some fun. This whole thing has become a real drag. I’m even starting to feel a little bit sorry for the NeoClown.

Yeah... Don's right... This progressive really "hammered" me...

His ranting is self-refuting.

Yeah, the "freak leftist fascist" link points back to one of Donald's previous American Power posts full of unfounded, unsupported, specious allegations about yours, truly... (You'd think he'd want to highlight my "unrelenting" nature as regards the incident in question, but that would mean exposing his readers to facts he'd rather they did not know...)

And of course, as has become his custom when mentioning me in an American Power post, he has removed the comment section entirely from his offering, just in case anyone wished to advance a differing opinion... Talk about cowardice...

Sunday, October 16, 2011, 2:00 AM - American Power: Leftist Occupiers and Double Standards

It is clear, of course, that the Lotion Man’s behavior represents what the Left truly is at its core: hateful and lusting after destruction. There is no better poster boy for the Left than the Lotion Man.
Well, perhaps not, but I can sure think of a few equally fascistic leftists. (The "fascistic" post title: "American Power: W. James Casper is a Coward, a Fraud, and a Liar")

First off, if Donald thinks I'm in any way fascistic, he's really gone off his nut. He's just lashing out, using whatever "salty language" he can find (and the way Don thinks, calling someone a fascist is no different than calling them a fucktard. In Donald's hands, both are equally meaningless invective... (which is kind sad to say about a supposed political scientist.)

Second, even his link is a fraud (and doesn't show anything fascistic about me either, for that matter)... It's clear from the comment that Don was writing about about that I was agreeing that folks shouldn't make false accusations, and that Donald's false allegation about me discussed at that post was deserving of criticism. (And I suspect that Donald understood it quite well, though he obviously pretended otherwise... Understanding it would mean confronting his behavior, and Donald just isn't ready to do that.)

If Dr Douglas keeps up this pace, I'm going to have to rename this sidebar feature "The Douglas Daily Hate."

As I've documented here numerous times, RACIST = REPSAC is a Coward, a Fraud, and a Liar And that's just totally pathetic. ASFL."

Tuesday, July 19, 2011, 9:00 PM - American Power: W. James Casper Continues Campaign of Intimidation and Criminal Harassment:

An apology to readers: I've been in and out all day today, and I've also been trying to get progressives to take responsibility. So, here's an update to my post from the other day: "American Power: Progressive Trolls? Update on W. James Casper, Commissar of State Security, People's Commissariat for Internet Affairs"
I'm currently in the process of getting written apologies and retractions from the criminal progressives who mounted campaigns of workplace intimidation, and as W. James Casper has been a ringleader, by his own words, I'm putting this comment here for the record:

You recruited bloggers to harass, ridicule, and intimidate:

'I intended for American Nihilist to be a one off joke on the silly "nihilist" meme you created. I sent invites to all the "nihilsts" I could find, thinking we'd all just have a quick laugh at the expense of the silly little meme, & that'd be it... But some of 'em wanted to sign up, and once they did, and started writing--in character--it became something better than the one off joke I intended...'

YOU CROSSED THE LINE!!!!!

These are your words. They are posted at your own blogs. You thought it be just a laugh, but quickly escalated into workplace intimidation and outrageous campaigns of harassment. THAT IS ILLEGAL. YOU HAVE LEGAL LIABILITY AND YOU ARE ON RECORD. Your very words show you ORGANIZED a conspiracy. And you have people currently in your threads making threats, issuing taunts, and spiking the football.

YOU've not denounced a bit of it. Why? Answer that. Why? Because I blog and "attack" people. That's what you say repeatedly. Because I blog and "attack" people you decided to round up a lynch mob. YOUR words. This is what you have done and continue to do. YOU are on record.

YOU are the administrator of this blog and YOU thought it perfectly fine to publish this.

When that was posted you didn't reject it. YOU didn't repudiate it. YOU endorsed it and clapped about how my my college administration should "be aware of his antics." Then later you pulled the post when your lackey left you hold the bag of sh*t. YOU f**ked up. It was never the right thing to do. Always an evil act. It's done. It's on record. YOU are the accessory to make this happen. That sucks you got used. But you recruited people who then f**ked you up. Sucker!! You deserve it. It's you who organize the hate. Make it right by apologizing.

And YOU continue to promote the hate. YOU consort with criminal progressives who continue their campaigns. YOU are doing this. YOU sponsor it right here in this thread. THIS thread.

YOU pledged an intimidation campaign: "As long as Donald Douglas is posting a public blog that accepts comments, I'm going to continue to comment on what he posts, whenever and wherever I choose'

I banned YOU. But you publicly admitted my wishes were to be disrespected and that you would taunt, harass, and intimidate "whenever and wherever I choose."

And one of those places was my college. YOU had henchmen do it for you so you could claim plausible denial. But the cat's out now. YOU are liable.

And YOU ignore, deny, distort and blow off the facts of YOUR evil as some 'crazy paranoid allegations'.

Not.

Don't deny. Don't ignore. Don't dismiss. Don't prevaricate.

Man up to your program. THIS is what you do.

These are your words. YOU recruited all you could find to harass, ridicule and intimidate. YOU endorsed, as the admin, a campaign by (O)CT(O)PUS. And YOU have defended all the others right here in this thread. YOU do not denounce the hate and criminal activity.

YOU are the ringleader of hate. THIS is a hate site. I POINT OUT your evil action. YOU deny because you're without a shred of decency.

You need to be right with goodness in the world and issue that apology!!
I know some readers wonder why I deal with this, and believe me, it's not fun. But since my college has been involved there are a lot of loose ends legally that I'm working to wrap up. W. James Casper harbors a clinical hatred for me and he's long mounted a war of personal destruction. I can't impinge his free speech rights, but he's got no legal right to his continued campaign of criminality and the politics of personal destruction. He's a sad man, I know. But he's more than the laughingstock of the progressive left. He's Satan's henchmen working to destroy those of good will who stand up for what's right. I'll keep fighting because that's what you do: Never back down to the mob. It only emboldens them and they will kill and maim even more. This is what these people are about.

Did Donald just claim that bloggers who disagree with him are somehow akin to terrorists? Yer damned right he did... Donald Douglas: Fighting terrorism by making up lies about bloggers he doesn't like since 2005. What a brave little chicken hawk.

"It is entirely possible for a non-soldier to advocate war without being a chickenhawk. A chickenhawk is someone who ascribes the bravery of soldiers in wartime to themselves because they take a pro-war position, not someone who simply argues for war without fighting in it. Pretending that supporting the war is as courageous as fighting it is the hallmark of the chickenhawk." - Midwest Product - July 27, 2007 @ 4:32 pm

For evidence of just this kinda thinking, please see the following exchange:

-----------------------------------------------------------
Repsac3: "I don't know who I feel more sorry for; snooper (who served his country at least, but returned with such hatred for his fellow citizens), or Donald, who appears to come by it all naturally, and without any similar sacrifice."

Associate Professor Donald Douglas: "I serve my country ever day teaching students, many of whom are the first in their families to go to college.

The most disadvantaged ones, and those who have served, thank me for my instruction and moral integrity, and they share with me their shame at anti-Americans like yourself."
------------------------------------------------------------

I appreciate teachers as much as the next guy (& more than many), but how many teachers are making the same kinda sacrifices as those who serve in the military? While I'm glad the man has such a lofty opinion of himself & his chosen profession, I think it arrogant of Professor Douglas to put himself & his "service" in the same class as anyone who fought (& was wounded, no less) in battle while serving our country.

Donald Douglas: Chickenhawk, or stalwart associate professor of political science, serving on the battlefield of American community college education, just as bravely as our military men & women, protecting & defending America throughout the world?

You decide.

Monday, June 20, 2011, 2:25 PM - American Power: Professor Charli Carpenter Quits Lawyers, Guns and Money! — UPDATE!! Repsac = Racist = ASFL = Lying Asshat!!!:

"Not only that, I'm trying desperately to pull myself up after ROTFLMFAO, because REPSAC = RACIST = ASFL has responded to this post, and writes hilariously that Charli Carpenter is 'paying little if any attention to Donald Douglas.' Perhaps not, but stalker REPSAC = RACIST = ASFL sure the hell is!!"
...

"And wrong, not envious in the least, RACIST REPSAC3 ASFL. I'm a tenured professor at a college without a grad program, so "Grad Director" is not something I'd be doing. And I have no need to publish, since community colleges are teaching institutions. But WE KNOW progressives like you hate teaching and denigrate those who do, cuz ur a typical asshat. And I'm raising two kids myself, not to be demonic left-wing terrorist wannabes, of course. Unlike you, freaking stalker.

Plus, I'm not "outing" anyone's identity, you idiot. I plan to report and document the moral degeneracy and evil of one of the bloggers at Lawyers, Guns and Murder. Still waiting for the go-ahead from the attorney, but you've got skills in this area, so it'll be interesting to demonstrate a past pattern of collaboration on your part. See: "DEFAMATION - DONALD STYLE --- Another year, another UPDATE: 2/17/2011" At the update, that's where hate sponsor RACIST = REPSAC = ASFL denies that he had anything to do with the campaign of workplace intimidation directed against me at my college, which of course is a lie, because RACIST = REPSAC = ASFL personally administers the blog and he personally recruited the progressives who published all of my workplace contact information, with the exhortation:"
...

"This was published at REPSAC = RACIST = ASFL's blog, American Nihilist, Feb 12, 2009. (See here.) And REPSAC = RACIST = ASFL is fully implicated in this initial campaign of workplace intimidation, and he's now even doubled-down about how he thinks I should be fired for practicing my First Amendment rights to freedom of the expression, the right to be free in my private personal affairs. It's pretty bad, but this is what progressives do. And when I'm able to report fully on recent legal developments with my blog, REPSAC = RACIST = ASFL may well be implicated in the moral deviance, evil, and libelous activities that have been recently launched to destroy the moral clarity of myself and American Power."

Reply: American Racist = ASFL = Lying Asshat!!!: Professor Donald Douglas is Envious of Professor Charli Carpenter (and predictably, rather than bringing himself up, he tries to tear her down) (Post, but especially the comments, where Donalde expounds further on his his inane beliefs about transitive responsibility and guilt by association.

Reality check: Here's what I actually said:

"Ideas that are not born in one’s own head (or that harmonize and synchronize with the ones that are, at least) scare some folks silly.

Pointing and yelling “Anti-Seeeeemite!!!” (or “Cooooomunist!!” or “niiiiihilist!!”) at the top of one’s internet lungs is no substitute for reasoned discourse." - repsac3, May 7, 2011 at 2:33 pm, at the post The CUNY Disgrace : Lawyers, Guns & Money.

So where exactly did I say "there are no communists allied with the Democratic Party in contemporary American politics?" Is there no lie our friend Dr. Douglas will tell... or does he actually really and truly believe that the words I wrote mean what he's alleging they do? It's gotta make you wonder about him, either way...

"Those like RACIST = REPSAC = CASPER who weasel out of truth recognition are the ideological and intellectual Luddites of the day."

"I do not believe RACIST REPSAC = CASPER is a communist. He may be an anti-Semite, in addition to being a racist, and he's definitely a progressive. But that doesn't matter much to the foregoing analysis. The post shows conclusively the infiltration of the Democrat Party by the long-term ideological enemies of the United States. It's fact. That said, facts to not penetrate the world of blind hatred of RACIST REPSAC = CASPER, so this is just for the record, once again. But be warned: Pathetic RACIST REPSAC = CASPER, unfortunately, is potentially even more dangerous than those hoisting banners on the street, for he works in the Alinsky mold of destroying American greatness from within. You gotta watch out for these people. They'd kill you if they get the chance."

The lies are so much easier to maintain when you don't try proving any of 'em.). I questioned whether a specific instance was or was not an honor killing, once (I didn't think "The guy was muslim" was enough of a reason to call the murder an honor killing, like Donalde did), but I never denied it could've been... just that the evidence wasn't in, and that calling the murder of a spouse an honor killing because a guy is muslim is a tad bigoted. YMMV...

(Besides... Everyone on the innernets and intertubes thinks grammar/spelling cops are douchebags... I'm just sayin'...)"

Donalde's response (predictably) was to "correct" my spelling of Muphry's Law, once again proving the point I was making; the loftiness of his high horses are entirely too precarious for the likes o' him.

No explanation, no link to any "raaaaacist" thing I've ever said or done in either post... Just Donalde Douglas once (or twice) again blowing smoke, playing at guilt by association ("If that guy who said something racially offensive is a progressive, and repsac3 is a progressive, that clearly proves..." It's just that easy to accuse folks, when you're Donald Douglas.) and hoping someone will actually pay attention to him. Sad.

It occurs to me that he may've been pissed that I tweeted about a fellow Orange County Republican and Tea Party activist earlier on April 16th: Racist Orange County Republican Email: President Obama and His Parents Are Apes - Orange County News. Maybe (employing that same guilt by association thinking he's famous for) Donalde thought I was tweeting about him, and thus lashed out... I mean, it's not as though he's never said anything racially offensive about black people or otherwise been bigoted toward those with whom he doesn't agree politically, is it?

One clue about civility, Donald... Whatever one thinks about the idea of talking more respectfully to others (even those with whom one disagrees), it isn't about judging the behaviors of others... It's about doing the right thing, oneself. There will always be bigots and other incivil people. The question one should ask oneself is whether one wishes to be counted among them. Just sayin'...

2011-10-29T16:40:00.003-04:00

A few points in reply to American Power: Continuing Lies by Cowardly Hate-Blogger James W. Casper in Left's Demonic Workplace Intimidation Campaign. (Most of it is name-calling and other specious nonsense that doesn't deserve response, but there are a few things worth mentioning...)

Casper keeps claiming that "right-of-center" bloggers are also among those who've launched demonic campaigns. And that's just more lies. Specifically, Casper is lying about E.D. Kain's ideological attacks of workplace harassment.

And for the record: E.D. Kain long ago came out as a progressive. Despite this, W. James Casper, for over a year, has been spreading a disinformation campaign about how Kain's allegedly right-of-center. He's not, and he said so himself at the hardline progressive blog Balloon Juice: "Why I am Not a Conservative."

Whatever ED Kain was calling himself by August of 2010, back in December 2009--when the "workplace harassment" incident between Dr. Douglas and Mr. Kain occurred, most folks--including ED Kain--considered him a right-of-center libertarian blogger. (No, he wasn't a conservative, not even then--though it was a good try for Donald to attempt to conflate "right-of-center" with "conservative," and pretend I ever claimed the latter--but he was a right of center blogger, nevertheless.)

I blogged about E.D. Kain because he betrayed me and a number of other bloggers who he burned by pulling the plug on Neo-Constant without even so much as a thank you or acknowledgment of their contributions. Kain did that because he embarrassed himself by selling out the right to join up with the likes of communist Freddie deBoer. I didn't like it. I blogged about it. I make no apologies. That's life. And Erik Kain's a cowardly little prick and Andrew Sullivan wannabe. I don't like him.

Yep, that's pretty much what I said:

"E.D."Erik" Kain is a pretty well known right of center libertarian writer and blogger. As best I understand it, Donald was mad at him because Mr Kain rethought his one-time neoconservative views, and pretty much killed off a blog he used to run called NeoConstant (See: New to the Blogroll: Neoconstant | All American Blogger, and How Did I End Up In the Middle of a Blog War? | All American Blogger) Donald repeatedly lashed out at him in response, and ED Kain did eventually reach out to someone at Donald's college, in the hope that that person could get Donald to back off. (Another take, by another right of center and former NeoConstant blogger: The Blog of Walker: Donald Douglas: give it a rest, mate)."

---

"W. James Casper, who, folks will recall, endorsed racist attacks against me by The Pale Scot..."

The Pale Scot made no racist attacks against Dr. Douglas. He said "Damn Don, howda a swarthy looking fellow like you end with a fine Scottish name Like Douglas? And a Donald to boot!? America is a wonderful place where we can all re-invent ourselves." And I didn't endorse (or even agree with) anything. I said I didn't believe the comment was racist.
---

Donald barely mentions any of the people who contacted LBCC, anymore...
That's another malicious falsehood. There's only one person I've stopped mentioning, one of the asshats at Lawyers, Guns and Money, and that's because there's a legal arrangement in place that prevents me from making references to this asshole at the blog. As for the others, they haven't been worth my time, but it's not because their attacks have been effective, as racist W. James Casper claims.

What I said was, Donald barely mentions the folks who contacted LBCC anymore... And correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what Donald just said, too... I don't know his reason... Maybe it's because they took action against him, or maybe it's just because they're "no longer worth Don's time." But whatever the reason, aside these ridiculous whiny, weepy "I'm such a victim" diatribes, Donald barely mentions the folks who actually contacted LBCC, anymore... For whatever reason, Donald would rather lash out at me over this whole "workplace intimidation" thing, even though I never contacted anyone... I leave it to others to deduce why...
---

...there is no moral equivalence between the left's campaign to get me fired and the right's response to whatever happened years ago to Jeff Goldstein.

And I take exception to W. James Casper's sick moral relativism. In Casper's nihilist hate world, speaking my mind on my blog is tantamount to making death threats like those of Deb Frisch against Jeff Goldstein's 2 year-old child.

Here's the thing... I wasn't the one who brought up the comparison... Donald was, in the course of trying to claim some moral equivalence (or was it moral relativism) between his situation with David Hillman--who most certainly ALSO didn't make any death threats against any 2 year old child, Donald's, or anyone else's--and the Frisch/Goldstein situation. All I did was call Donald out for MAKING the bullshit hypocritical comparison in the first place, and say that I believe the rules are universal; If one believes it's wrong to contact someone's workplace about online issues and disagreements, it's wrong NO MATTER WHO THE PERPETRATOR(S) OR THE VICTIM MIGHT BE... No matter how despicable Frisch's postings and threats, it was wrong for the 300+ conservatives to contact her workplace. The place to report harassment and threats is with the police. Donald cannot have it both ways...

The rest of his post, fore and aft, is the same old specious ad hom, and not worthy of reply (or even the notice I've already afforded it, frankly.)
---

While folks like Donald Douglas seem eager to hide what those he disagrees with have to say by moderating his comment sections for content and limiting the number of verbatim quotes, citations, and links he uses when blogging, I want nothing more than to give folks every opportunity to read exactly what Dr. Douglas has to say, in all of it's contextual glory, and thus will quote and link to his exact words as often as I can...

Everyone please, go look at Donald Douglas, and particularly at the post(s) in question. Read everything he has to say. Weigh his arguments--as well as the arguments of those who disagree with him, of course--judge as fairly as your conscience allows you to, and come to your own conclusions.

I ask for nothing more.

And I ask for nothing less.

American Power: Muammar Gaddafi Allegedly Sodomized After Capture

It's pretty awful, but seriously? Folks are going to get worked up about this? The dude promised to go "house to house" to cleanse the "greasy rats" from Libya.

We don't react to things like rape and torture based on who the victim is, but based on who we are. It is the act of forced sodomy (essentially rape) that we humans condemn, no matter who the rapist(s) or the victim(s) are or what else they've done in their lives.

(It's kinda sad that anyone should ever have to point that out... ...especially to an American, given how exceptional our morals and values generally are compared to people the rest of the world over.)

This is "things I learned in kindergarten" material... Two wrongs don't make a right.

Robert P. Tuttle, III Picks Up His Marbles And Runs Home In A Huff

2011-10-23T19:23:00.006-04:00

The Independent Realist: Repsac3, W. James Casper - The Final Word

I considered an actual response, but most of what I'd say is pretty obvious...

I may quote his bit about my "conspiracy" post and append it to what I said there, because his absurd take on it is sort of funny, in an ironic "WTF?!?" kinda way, especially in light of Dr. Douglas' crazy "henchman" allegations and accusations to which the post was meant to respond... (Methinks it's possible Robert might be a little satire-impaired, himself...though it's far more likely that he was feigning ignorance for his audience, as I suspect he was throughout most of that sore loser, "If you guys won't let me be the captain of the team, I'm takin' my kickball and goin' home" response.)

But to Robert all I can say is so long, sweet prince... Our brief encounter was kinda pleasant, mostly--even when you tried to insult, you did so with some intelligence, rather than relying exclusively on the usual twin epithet categories of bad language (fuckhead!) and eeeeevil sociopolitical grouping (fascist!!)--and I'm sorry to see that you were and remain so unwilling to stand your ground when things get rough--or even to compete on an even playing field, where you permit everything I say to appear, rather than picking and choosing only those comments you agree with or have a ready answer for. I sincerely expected better from you...

Nevertheless, it was fun while it lasted... Should you ever change your mind, I'll be here... (I'll probably keep checkin' in on your blog, regardless... ...and if you do post something intriguing, I may even respond, as well... Like I said, I like how you write, even if I think most of what you actually say is shite.)

UPDATE, 1025/11, 4:40 PM (or so):
Twigs and pebbles tossed from behind the skirts of mommy moderation:

Thank you Dr. Douglas for the kind words and links to the Realist. I am afraid that the longer Walter (Walter James Casper, III) continues with his delusional rantings, the further he will slip down into the depths of his paranoia. There is nothing that we can do other than to block him from our blogs and such (I've already had to block him from my blog and Facebook page), and simply allow him to rant on his own site. Eventually he will alienate himself from even his own followers as they begin to realize the depth of his illness.

And as Walter is reading this blog, I would offer him this advice: seek professional help and seek it now. Do not wait.
---

I'm sorry, Rob... But I'm not real impressed by a guy (or pair of guys) who speak ill of me from behind a screen of moderation... ...and I don't much value the opinions of anyone who is, either...

So, I'm glad you two are having fun n'all... but until you're willing to say your piece in a place where folks are free to respond--ALL folks, not just the people and responses you pick and choose--you might just as well not be talkin', least as far as I'm concerned.

While folks like you and Donald seem eager to hide what those you disagree with have to say by moderating your comment sections for content and limiting the number of verbatim quotes, citations, and links you use when blogging, I want nothing more than to give folks every opportunity to read exactly what you have to say, in all of it's contextual glory, and thus will quote and link to your exact words as often as I can... ...and sure, I'll even add a few if you folks don't feel I've given you enough "Look at ME!!!" time.

Everyone please, go look at Donald Douglas and Robert P. Tuttle, III. Read what they have to say. Weigh their arguments (as well as the arguments of those who disagree with 'em, of course), judge as fairly as your conscience allows, and come to your own conclusions.

I ask for nothing more.

And I ask for nothing less.

What A Real Conspiracy Looks Like

2011-10-23T00:39:00.022-04:00

For Dr. Douglas, so he can compare it with his paranoid "Henchmen" theory:

The elements:

A ringleader (or chief instigator):

A plan:

Close-up

At least one second party (~~Henchman~~ Henchwoman):

Verbal endorsement of plan by that hench...person (Not just once, but twice):

Once

Twice

And in case anyone's wondering...
Yes, I did send a report about it to Google (not that I expect them to do anything--at least not unless/until any suspiciously suspect action shows up on my account--but I wanted to be proactive about it, just in case), and yes, I do have screen-caps and text and all that whatnot saved up and ready to share with any person / IP / service with whom I may need to in future (obviously.)

And before anyone points it out...
Yes, I know this isn't a CRIMINAL conspiracy, and I'm not alleging it is, or that I necessarily have any legal recourse should their dastardly evil plan come to fruition and bloom, and I am actually barred from commenting everywhere on the internet, and have to spend all my time OUT THERE with REAL PEOPLE, actually organizing and voting and pushing for change, and whatnot.... (It's not highly likely, but there's no harm in leaving these dreamers with a little hope to brighten their otherwise sad days... We libs is good like dat.)

It is an ethical conspiracy, however, and a sad comment on how far some partisans will consider going (and who knows, perhaps actually go...)

It's like I recently said somewhere about Alinsky's Rules: "Every time you see them listed or discussed on a conservative site, half of the commenters describe them as evil incarnate (which for the most part, they're not... They're just political tactics folks all across the political spectrum use to make their case and reach their goals), and the other half wants to start (or keep) using them, themselves... ...and for whatever reason, the two factions never seem to acknowledge each other's viewpoints, let alone actually discuss/debate them..." It looks to me like poor Robert (Thom) is stuck arguing both sides himself in his post. On one hand, my supposed tactics are "conspiratorial crazy," "obsessive compulsive," "unoriginal," "destructive," and "reprehensible." But then he says "Unfortunately, conservatives do not engage in the same style of tactics...". It kinda looks to me like some of them just might... ...not that I'm mentioning any names, Robert...

((Now if only I knew where they worked, so I could tell their employers about their crazy plan... j/k))
---

UPDATE (10/23/11, 11:55 PM): Just had to share Mr. Tuttle's reaction to this post, offered in what I can only refer to as his "takin' my marbles and goin' home to tell my mommy" post from earlier this evening:

"Repsac3 is now stating that there is a conspiracy against him, and that I am the "ringleader." He claims that I am trying to ban him from posting anything, anywhere on the entire world wide web. I am flattered that Repsac3 thinks I actually have that kind of power, but alas, it is only a figment of his paranoia. He states that he has contacted Google and taken screen shots and what-not, but I am sure such actions only fuel his paranoia. He has not contacted my employer, but as I am retired, that would be difficult.

So there you have it. The whole sordid story of my involvement with a paranoid delusional. I gave him his chance to defend himself, and instead he now spends his days and nights tapping away on his keyboard writing post after post about the evil me and the conspiracy I am leading to ban him from the internet. The comment queue for this blog is filled with his rants are his blogs. As I have no desire to fuel his paranoia any further (not to mention that I don't enjoy playing games with the mentally ill), I am done with him. He cannot be rational or logical, and has slid down into irrational delusions. I fear for his sanity, and I can only hope that he will seek professional help, and not harm himself or others."

So, is Robert really so humor impaired that he thinks I really believe he could so sully my name throughout the whole of the internet that I wouldn't be able to comment anywhere, or was he just faking being that obtuse for the benefit of his readers?

I said that Robert's plan to get his fellow Cons to "make a concerted effort to Google search the names W. James Casper and Repsac3, find out what sites he is commenting on, and flag each of his comments as offensive" so that "Casper will find himself banned throughout the web..." was a conspiracy, and, with the endorsement of his friend Zilla, so it is... I didn't say it was a good conspiracy, or even that ol' Rob and Zilla had the juice to pull such a thing off, however... ...and obviously, he doesn't really think much of his plan, or that he can pull it off, either.

He also seems to think my reporting the threat--such as it is--to Google shows me to be "paranoid."

With respect, I disagree... Robert's solution to a blogger he disagrees with isn't to debate on the merits, or to "take the high road and ignore anything that this disagreeable blogger may say if he found his posts and comments offensive," but to go around to sites where this blogger comments and flag his comments as offensive, and encourage others to do the same. Sure, it's pathetic and quite likely ineffective, but it's also underhanded and dishonest, and quite likely against Google's terms of service. And frankly, pathetic and ineffective in general or not, I wasn't about to take the chance that some blog service somewhere might see the smoke and think there's a real fire, rather than just some crappy broken down car's excessive exhaust... Damned straight I reported the threat... I only wish Octo had contacted Google when Donald was harassing him at The Swash Zone, rather than e-mailing LBCC, and starting all this nonsense... Would've saved me a whole lotta grief, if he had... (and it's exactly what I advised him to do, pretty early on in the situation.)

I gave him his chance to defend himself, and instead he now spends his days and nights tapping away on his keyboard writing post after post about the evil me and the conspiracy I am leading to ban him from the internet.

Man, they do so hate it when you quote back exactly what they say and respond to their posts... (Posts that they presumably spent days and nights tapping away on their keyboard writing...).

Robert can call me paranoid for repeating and reporting what he said... That's fine by me... Doesn't change the fact that he said it, and in the process revealed what his notions of "truth, justice, and common sense" really are. The real Thomas Paine would likely be disappointed in the morality of this pretender cloaking himself in the good name of Thomas Paine. Perhaps Kevin's right... (Not something' I often say to Kevin, lest any part of him gets to swellin' up with nihilist pride, or anything..). Perhaps zombie Thomas Paine really would kick ol' Robert right in the nuts if they was to meet... ...and it'd serve Rob right if he did, too...

2011-10-22T22:23:00.016-04:00

In reply to: The Independent Realist: W. James Casper (Repsac3) Responds, wherein Robert Tuttle attempts to prove that I was and am responsible for the posting of Dr. Douglas' workplace information, for the purpose of trying to get him fired from his job. Let's join his post, already in progress, to see what he has to say.

(For the record, most of what I'm skipping is a little one-upsmanship and peacocking, some housekeeping, and a few introductory remarks, all of which was also posted (and in that case, largely replied to) at American Nihilist. Follow any of the three links above to see for yourself...):

One of the things that you have consistently complained about is the lack of evidence to support Doctor Douglas’s claims against you. (I am conceding to your wishes here Repsac, and will refer to him as “Doctor” rather than “Professor” lest I inadvertently give your jibe any substance). The good doctor actually has given evidence to support his claims, in the way of statements and links on his blog. Perhaps you missed them. I didn’t. However, in the way of trying to make things easier for you to understand, I have simplified things somewhat. Let’s start with the basics first.

After a long (no, make that, extremely long) battle of words between Dr. Douglas, Mr. Casper (Repsac3) and others (known variously as Octopus, Captain Fogg, David Hillman, and Erik Kane – if I have spelled the names incorrectly, forgive me), said battle reached a point where certain information was posted in the internet, and in conjunction with this information, certain words were posted that could (and likely did) encourage some, including the posts author, to contact Dr. Douglas’s superiors at his place of employment. The alleged purpose being to cause Dr. Douglas to lose his job. To make this clearer, I will post what Dr. Douglas posted on his American Power blog:

A few months later, I left a couple of comments at THE SWASH ZONE, at entries posted by Captain Fogg and repsac3, as the blog is a group effort. I frankly didn't make the connection to (O)CT(O)PUS (who I later realized runs the place), and for that transgression I received this threatening warning in my e-mail inbox:

And these are my rules: DO NOT HARASS ANY OF MY WRITERS AT "THE SWASH ZONE" AGAIN. IF YOU HARASS ME OR ANY OF MY WRITERS ONE MORE TIME, I WILL NOTIFY ELOY OAKLEY AND DONALD BERZ AT YOUR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT AND TAKE IMMEDIATE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST BOTH YOU AND YOUR EMPLOYER. THIS GAME OF YOURS ENDS HERE.

We know these behaviors all too well, and why some of you bother with this pinhead is beyond me. The Coward is not welcome at THE SWASH ZONE; we delete his comments immediately. More disturbing are the comments and e-mails left by his followers: Profane, racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-Semitic … worthy of report to the FBI. What to do?

If the Coward or any of his followers harass you online you, contact President Eloy Oakley at (562) 938-4122 or Executive VP of Academic Affairs Donald Berz at (562) 938-4127 and describe the harassment. For serious online abuse or defamation, there is always this option (case file in progress).

A quick interjection... (Like Donald, ironically) Robert doesn't seem especially keen on providing too many direct quotes (though yes,in this case he did) or links and citations on those occasions where he does quote. Wherever possible, I'll add in what he left out, marked with his initials, like so: RPT: American Power: (O)CT(O)PUS = CYBER-BULLY. Also, keep this particular quote in mind... It'll come up again later...)

In response, Mr. Casper (Repsac3) related that he had nothing to do with the posting of this information. Mr. Casper goes on to state that he also doesn’t believe that either of the two individuals who contacted Dr. Douglas’s place of employment conspired together, or coordinated their actions in any way. Mr. Casper also states that Dr. Douglas have never offered any proof to suggest that the two incidents are connected.

In short, Mr. Casper states that Dr. Douglas’s assertions have no substance and he (Dr. Douglas) is lying. It is my opinion, however, that there is substantial evidence that would lead any reasonable person to draw the same conclusion that Dr. Douglas has drawn. The facts that my opinion is based on are:

Fact #1: Repsac3 (aka: W. James Casper) posts or posted on The Swash Zone, as did or do Captain Fogg and Octopus.

Fact #2: Octopus publically posted personal information regarding Dr. Douglas (his place of employment and names & phone numbers of his superiors) on The Swash Zone blog, and stated that he intended to contact Dr. Douglas’s place of employment to complain about Dr. Douglas’s online writing, and through the use of his wording encouraged others to do the same.

Fact #3: Dr. Douglas’s employers were contacted by Erik Kane and David Hillman, who complained about what Dr. Douglas was writing online. (I do not know whether Kane is “Captain Fogg” or “Octopus”, or whether Hillman is Fogg or Octopus, however, it is a reasonable assumption that Kane and Hillman are Fogg and Octopus – or Octopus and Fogg).

Fact #4: Octopus did at one time post on the American Nihilist blog, which belongs to W. James Casper, aka: Repsac3, thus establishing a connection between Repsac3 (Casper) and Octopus. This connection is further established through their connection to The Swash Zone blog.

Fact #5: Casper (Repsac3) claims that he was and is against the posting of Dr. Douglas’s information on The Swash Zone, that he was and is against the contacting of Dr. Douglas’s employers, and further claims that he disagreed with Octopus’s posting of said information, and that he suffered removal from his role as a contributor to The Swash Zone because of it. Casper’s claims do not ring true, however, as after he was allegedly removed as a contributor to The Swash Zone (due to his breaking ranks over the posting of Dr. Douglas’s information), Casper undertook a determined search to find the internet cache of the offending Swash Zone webpage that contained Dr. Douglas’s personal information, and he (Casper) then re-posted it in its entirety on his own blog, The Immoderate Monk, thus in effect, Casper also posted Dr. Douglas’s personal information, as well as the encouragement to contact Dr. Douglas’s employer.

Screen capture of The Immoderate Monk blog, showing Casper's re-posting of Dr. Douglas's personal information

Fact #6: W. James Casper, as Repsac3, has not only continually baited Dr. Douglas through his (Repsac3’s) posts and comments (rather than take the high road and ignore anything that Dr. Douglas may say if Repsac3 found them offensive), but Repsac3 has admittedly devoted an entire blog to publishing negative comments about Dr. Douglas, and has also devoted voluminous space on two of his other blogs to promoting negative comments and attacks on Dr. Douglas.

Conclusion: Although Repsac3 states that he disagrees with what Octopus did in posting the offending information, he did the exact same thing, ostensibly to show/prove that he (Repsac3) was not the responsible party, but the fact that he (Repsac3) reposted it, thus showing/proving his (Repsac3’s) guilt to be equal to Octopus’s, and thus, the allegations made by Dr. David Douglas do indeed have merit, as proved by W. James Casper’s own blog.
Posted by Thomas Paine at 4:56 PM

My reply (revised and extended a little from the three part comment I submitted for moderator approval Saturday, 10/22/11, at about 2:20 AM):

First off, any and all of the points that show relationships between the players and imply that the fact that we have interacted before or since these incidents means we are all collectively guilty of these incidents are bunk. Guilt by association is nonsense.

We (none of us, including any blogger you can name) don't deserve credit or blame for posts and comments we did not author... not even if they were written by bloggers we know, bloggers we have interacted with before or since, or even bloggers who did, do, or will post on the same group blogs that we do. So goes Fact #'s 1 and 4.

Fact #2 is substantially correct. It was Donald who posted the name and some of the other details about his place of employment, but Octopus (who by the way, IS David Hillman) subsequently reposted contact information he found at the college's website--where it is still posted to this very day. But I'm not Octopus, and guilt by association is still bunk. So goes Fact # 2.

E.D."Erik" Kain is a pretty well known right of center libertarian writer and blogger. As best I understand it, Donald was mad at him because Mr Kain rethought his one-time neoconservative views, and pretty much killed off a blog he used to run called NeoConstant (See: New to the Blogroll: Neoconstant | All American Blogger, and How Did I End Up In the Middle of a Blog War? | All American Blogger) Donald repeatedly lashed out at him in response, and ED Kain did eventually reach out to someone at Donald's college, in the hope that that person could get Donald to back off. (Another take, by another right of center and former NeoConstant blogger: The Blog of Walker: Donald Douglas: give it a rest, mate). Suggesting that ED Kain has any connection to or is involved in any conspiracy with David, and/or with Fogg, and/or with me, is just nuts. It's unlikely he even got the information about Donald's college from anything Octopus posted. Google is pretty easy to use, even for a one-time neocon libertarian.

And yes, David Hillman (Octopus) did subsequently use the information Octopus (David Hillman) posted to contact the college at which Dr. Douglas is employed.

(And if I may once again interject, if you're going to call what you're posting "facts," you prolly ought to've at least bought the program, so's you know the players about which you're alleging these so-called "facts." I'm just sayin'...)

Still nothing there about me, and guilt by association is still bunk. So goes Fact # 3.

I don't know where Robert's been, but internet caches ain't all that hard to find, especially if the post was only disappeared (and reconstituted by me) in the last 7-12 days. I did so because I believe in having a full and complete record of the facts (so I don't have to hypothesize or make stuff up, y'understand), especially given the years of stink I've gotten about all this, both from Donald, et. al, and from Octopus and some in his little seasunk band.

Look, I can see where this might be an issue for Robert, given that he doesn't seem to quote or link to much in the course of his own blogging, but some of us like to refer readers back to the actual posts and comments we're discussing, so they can see them for themselves, in context. Sometimes, we even quote, cite, and repost words and pictures that we most heartily disagree with, in order to express our disgust with what was posted and / or the people who originally posted them. The fact that something written by a third party is quoted on a blog does not mean that the author of the post agrees with the words contained in the quote. Often you can tell the reason they quoted the particular words by what they say outside the quote marks.

Given his line of argument in Fact # 5, I wonder whether Robert read the words on the top of my post -- why he failed to, if he did not -- and alternatively, why he's feigning ignorance about my motivation for posting those screen grabs, if as I suspect, he did read my introductory explanation...

Also... In point of fact, Robert, Dr. Douglas quotes and links to that very same post and passage on his blog as the one we're discussing here.... (and so by extension, I suppose you've done so now, as well) ...but because someone over at the Swash Zone killed off the post last week, the Dr's links are no longer any good. But had Robert and I been having this debate two weeks ago, Donald and I would be showing the same links to the same Swash Zone post, with the same workplace information available from both blogs. (via link, only, on mine, and actually quoted on Donald's.) I'd even go so far as to bet that you'll find more instances of Dr. Douglas' workplace information being posted on Donald's own blog, often complete with the exhortation to "Call these people if Dr. Douglas harasses you" than you will at any other site. Something to consider, that.

Sorry, Robert... Unless you're arguing that every conservative who posts pictures or videos of an anti-semitic liberal on their blog is themselves anti-semitic, (because it is the fact of the post, rather than their reason for posting it, that's important) Fact # 5 is a non-starter...

And, Robert, just one more thing to consider:

Screen capture of The Independent Realist blog, showing Tuttle's re-posting of Dr. Douglas's personal information

Whoops.

Fact #6, while overwrought and hyperbolic, has a few truths, but none that apply to the case at hand.

While I spend a whole lot more time responding to Dr. Douglas' crazy conspiratorial charges, of late, I did and still do enjoy pulling Dr. Douglas' chain. Just the threat that I might submit a comment to his moderated blog sends him into fits of apoplexy and full page ALL CAPS, inappropriately. punctuated. spittle-flecked. rants. (often with those WHOO HOO!!'s and ROTFLMFAO!!'s that you found so "insightful and elucidating" when you took note of them in your first post--back when you thought I authored them, of course.)

You're also correct that I don't often ignore what Dr. Douglas posts... Given your vehemence about me in your first post--to the point that you were--though hopefully not still are--threatening to underhandedly sabotage my commenting, by getting a mob together to flag my comments as offensive (again, for ideological content and partisan gain, rather than because they actually deserve to be flagged), in the hopes that I will be banned from commenting on as many sites as possible--I would think you'd understand that just ignoring a problem and hoping it will go away generally isn't the answer. (Of course, neither is underhanded bullshit like the tactic you threatened.) I do challenge Dr. Douglas' posts whenever I have the time and the wherewithal to do so... Not because I'm offended by him, but because I believe he is lying, or overlooking an important perspective or set of facts, and because it's important to stand up for one's point of view.

It'd take too long to explain the birth of the blog American Nihilist... Suffice to say, it started off as a parody, but because I got comfortable with American Power--unlike most folks, I prefer to stay in one place and kind of "adopt" one blogger at a time, rather than taking on a different rightwing blog and blogger everyday--and because Donald's reaction to it has been so over-the-top absurd, AmNi has kept chuggin' along...

We've already done the "several blogs" bit... I explained that I have different blogs for different purposes, including one where I discuss Dr. Douglas, and another where I repost pretty much every blog post and comment I make on the internet--and yes, by definition, those two blogs will contain some of the same posts and comments about things Dr. Douglas has said, won't they?... As many times as you bring it up, the answer will stay the same... Several blogs, including one that regularly discusses Donald Douglas and the posts at American Power.

All well and good, so far, and we're actually discussing me, in this fact... But up to now, we've been focusing on the claim that I am somehow involved with (if not actually responsible for) attacks on Dr. Douglas' livelihood... But Robert, those claims are nowhere to be found here in Fact # 6... Now it's about pulling Donald's chain, and how many blogs I have and how often I use Donald's name on one of 'em... ...and that ain't going to cut the mustard, bro... Fact # 6, too, fails inspection.

The conclusion is just a bad remix of #5, id'nit? #'s 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 barely play into it, at all...

And as I said in reply to Fact # 5 proper, to convict me over the fact that I repeated a post containing Don's workplace info, without regard for WHY I repeated the post containing Don's workplace info, is to convict every conservative blogger (or for that matter, newspaper writer, talking head, radio personality, ...) who quotes a liberal argument (or posts examples of racism, anti-semitism, hypocrisy, anti-christian bigotry, ..., ...) of in effect supporting and propagating those liberal or bigoted ideas via their quotes and reposts--because according to what you're saying in Fact 5 and in this conclusion, it doesn't matter WHY they (re)posted or re-aired them, only THAT they did so.

Stop and look around the conservative blogosphere, Robert... Flip through your blogroll... Check your own archives... Hell, check this very post, where you indict me for quoting a particular post with particular info, AND THEN QUOTE THE VERY SAME POST AND INFO...

...and then think about this, Robert...

Given the circumstances, "Fact" # 5/conclusion-wise... Are you sure this is really the argument you want to go with?

I await your reasoned reply... ...whenever you have the time.

UPDATE: I neglected to include the 4th part of my 3 part response, submitted to Robert's Independent Realist blog a few hours after the first three (at approximately 6:05, AM, Eastern). (I was having technical issues that night, and e-mailed all this stuff from my iPad to my home computer in separate bites (bytes?). I misplaced this one, the first time through...)

Part 4:

In all your tromping around looking for evidence of my "chief instigator" ways, you entirely missed what is Dr Douglas' crown jewel argument against me...

Around the same time that Octo--

(Sorry... I only ever knew the guy as Octopus, and I'm not altogether certain that "David Hillman" isn't an alias, as well, for what it's worth)

--posted his piece on The Swash Zone, he also authored a similar post at American Nihilist...

...AND, though I spoke out against it, I didn't demand that he remove it or delete the thing myself, preferring instead to treat Octo as the adult he was, and allowing him to do the right thing--or face the consequences of not doing the right thing-- on his own. (Little did I know that three years later, I'd still have people blaming and haranguing me for what Octo wrote... Yeesh!!!)

AND, when Octo suddenly and silently bailed out of his authorship at American Nihilist, and then removed my authorship privileges at the Swash Zone, I STILL didn't delete the post, which at this point had several links and references to it, mostly from Donald's blog posts and comment sections. Instead, I cut out the names, titles, and phone numbers of the people to contact, and left the post, well, posted, believing that it was worth keeping it up as an everlasting record of what was (and wasn't) said in the post and comments and by who, but that the tools to commit any harassment (the actual info) had no place on the blog, unless there was anyone left willing to defend it... ...which there wasn't.

There you have it. Donald believes that my actions constitute endorsement, and I wouldn't be surprised if you take that line, as well... But regardless, that's what I did and why... ...and even knowing what I know now, I believe I'd handle the situation the same way, if I had it to do over, again. -- My reasons were sound, and in keeping with my philosophy of individual, personal responsibility for individual acts--not crediting or blaming others for what one party says or does*... ...even if some of the folks I was and am still dealing with were (are) less adult than I thought...

*The guy or gal with the bigoted sign at the protest doesn't speak for EVERYONE in the protest, and the whole group or movement is not responsible for every individual attendee, no matter whether that protest is a Tea Party event or Occupy Wall Street, for instance... ...And the guy who posts another blogger's workplace info and tries to get others to harass the guy... ... (you see where I'm goin' with this?)

UPDATE: Robert Tuttle (pretender Thom) has allowed the comment in question to appear after all, (at least partially--I submitted it in two parts, but he only approved the second of the two) and even replied here (IR) and here (AmNi). (Long and short of it is, he's in control of his blog (and will therefore approve comments (or not) on his timetable--and at least some of the time, anyway, his timetable includes holding comments until he has written his reply to them, so he can post them both simultaneously--and thus never have ideas with which he does not agree just hangin' out there on his blog, unanswered.)

Robert P. Tuttle, III sez "LaLaLaLa... I cannot heeeaaaar yooou!!" but the cognitive dissonance just won't go away...

In reply to The Independent Realist: Liberal Socialist Attacks College Professor (not so much the post, which I responded to about 15 house ago, give or take, but the fact that "Thom" refused to allow that response to appear, in spite of his claim that "In the spirit of healthy debate, I will probably post any comments that are made, unless they contain profanity, or degrading speech."

Before you ask, yes, I am certain that he has been to his moderation queue (he approved a friendly comment made later than mine), and that he is aware of my cross post (he has also been to American Nihilist, where the initial response is currently the headline post.)

My response:
-----------

It really doesn't bother you to be so dishonest in the first instance--anyone who actually read any of my blog posts and comments could not make the false accusations you do--and then be so unwilling to post my comments in rebuttal and respond to them, in the second?

Congratulations on your wholly dishonest "victory" over me, Thom... ...but you and I both know that lying, refusing to face your opponent, and blindly marking comments "offensive" is a pretty pathetic way to "win" an argument... (assuming your conscience will even allow you to call it a win, in the first place...)

I guess I can only hope that some of the folks who take your advice and Google up my posts will actually read them, and have enough confidence in their values and beliefs to openly and honestly disagree with what I have to say...
