My little friend Birdy came back to visit me the other day.\u00a0 You know, the one who tells me what\u2019s going on in certain circles?<\/p>\n
You wanna guess what little Birdy told me this time?<\/p>\n
Yep, you guessed it.\u00a0 My feathered friend told me that an online persona reputedly associated with certain a group of Ditzy, Really Gonzo (or maybe that\u2019s “Dorkish, Really Clueless”) fools claims they know who I am.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been “identified”!<\/p>\n
Again.\u00a0 (Yawn.)<\/p>\n
Yeah, right.\u00a0 And the moon is made of green cheese, too.<\/p>\n
But this time, they\u2019ve actually kinda p!ssed me off.<\/p>\n
Oh, not because they\u2019re anywhere remotely close to being correct.\u00a0 They\u2019re not.<\/p>\n
But they had the gall to mis-identify me as a member of the freaking mainstream media (MSM)<\/em>.\u00a0 This time, they apparently think I\u2019m a reporter for the Indianapolis Star<\/u>.\u00a0 I\u2019ll refrain from naming the guy; as far as I know, despite his profession he\u2019s done nothing to deserve grief from these “fine fellows”.<\/p>\n Now that<\/span> p!sses me off bigtime.\u00a0 I have standards<\/em>!<\/p>\n I try to get things correct.\u00a0 I check facts.\u00a0 I don\u2019t write crap that purports to be true and unbiased while instead actually producing half-baked, poorly-researched, and misleading propaganda masquerading as news.\u00a0 When I write something, I make it very clear when I\u2019m stating an opinion and when I\u2019m stating what I believe to be fact.<\/p>\n Once mainstream journalists did much the same.\u00a0 But today?\u00a0 Best I can tell, for most of the mainstream media today fact checking is optional and being unbiased gets little more than lip service.\u00a0 They unabashedly slant the news and shill for their political favorites in a way that would make Goebbels or the editors of Pravda<\/span> during the Cold War proud.\u00a0 And to top things off, many of them today don\u2019t even seem able to write at a junior high level.<\/p>\n You know, I believe I\u2019d rather have a brother in prison plus a sister in a whorehouse than to debase myself publicly the way many MSM journalists seem to daily.\u00a0 (Although these days, I guess the sister<\/em> could be the one in prison and the brother<\/em> the one working in the whorehouse.\u00a0 Hey, whatever.)\u00a0 That\u2019s almost as bad as being a libidiot <\/em>who supports ObamaCare and the rest of the left’s current\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Come to think of it, that last sentence probably describes 85% or more of today\u2019s mainstream media.\u00a0 (Disclaimer:\u00a0 I have no idea if the guy misidentified as me is one of the few in the mainstream media today who has common sense or not.\u00a0 I have never met him and am completely unfamiliar with his work.)\u00a0 <\/em>That\u2019s likely at least part of the reason why I am not and almost certainly never will be a mainstream media journalist<\/span>.\u00a0 Plus, I never did much like dealing with dissembling tools on a daily basis – particularly when many of them are apparently so dumb they don\u2019t even realize what they’re doing.<\/p>\n OK, rant’s over; time to get back on track.\u00a0 Recap time.<\/p>\n This is apparently at least the 11th time<\/u> the DRC claims they\u2019ve “identified Hondo”.\u00a0 And they\u2019re still batting “oh-fer” –\u00a0 e.g., they\u2019ve been wrong every damn time.<\/p>\n Previously, these Dull and Remarkably Gluteal bozos have erroneously identified 5 different Navy vets as being me – including 4 ex-SEALs (first SCPO Don Shipley<\/a><\/em>, then CAPT Larry Baily<\/a><\/em>, then a guy I’m intentionally not naming<\/a><\/em>, and lastly MCPO Hershel Davis<\/a><\/em>).\u00a0 They\u2019ve also wrongly claimed I was a a multi-star Army GO, a retired SF SGM<\/a><\/em>, another longtime commenter here at TAH<\/em><\/a>, a retired Navy diver (late 2015 – I was kinda busy at the time and didn’t write about that one), and a serving Army officer<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0 Finally, last time they falsely identified an Army vet who served during the Eisenhower Administration<\/a><\/em> (and who is also a former Brooklyn Law School Professor) as me.<\/p>\n And now, they seem to think I\u2019m a freaking mainstream media journalist in Indiana.\u00a0 Geez.<\/p>\n Unless I\u2019m miscounting, that totals at least 11 mistaken “identifications”.\u00a0 I\u2019m guessing the actual total is even higher, because I\u2019m reasonably sure I\u2019ve missed one or two somewhere along the way.<\/p>\n And every last one of those “identifications” has been . . . wrong.\u00a0 Sadly, pathetically wrong.<\/p>\n (flip) (flip) (flip) (flip) Here\u2019s a dollar<\/span> in quarters, dipsticks. Go buy yourselves several<\/span> clues. You ain\u2019t even close this time.\u00a0 You never have been.<\/p>\n Or, better yet:\u00a0 just give it up.\u00a0 Quit wasting your time.<\/p>\n Sheesh.\u00a0 Talk about “stuck on stupid”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Communist<\/del>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Socialist<\/del>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “Progressive” political dogma.<\/p>\n
