Spank That Donkey

  It seems I have run afoul of R.T  (Terry) Rea over at Slant Blog.  This post is for educational and defensive purposes, because I have an inkling of what might just be in store from me.  You see, I allegedly have been 'Bullying' Mr. Rea over at Slantblog.  For perspective I've listed the posts and all my comments on SlantBlog, so you the readers can decide.  Am I a 'bully', much less a 'drunk in a bar', a squirming toad,  a masochist,  a cyber stalker, and inevitably a dogpile on the sidewalk ? It is so curious how I comment upon the issues and contents of his posts, and all I receive in return are insults and rude comparisons...

Now the point of this post is not to continue the argument with Slantblog, but to document my comments for other bloggers to see the exchange, and judge for your selves if I am a 'bully'?  Remember, these are the same people who used the term 'attack' successfully at first against SWAC bloggers, then could not back it up... They need a new term,  to smear Conservative bloggers who disagree with them, and Dear Lord no!  Challenge their posts? (Bullying)

Terry have you ever noticed that I have linked in my blog roll yourself and Waldo for over 6 months now?

Why is it you refuse to reciprocate links to Conservatives who have always linked to you, and comment frequently on your blog, with the exception of OMT (inactive now), and Kenney, who obviously just supported Waldo, when we disagreed with him...

Read here, even you couldn't support your statements that we 'attacked' Waldo...

I do my part to promote, both sides by linking to left of center bloggers...

Terry:
The simple point is that you are quite biased as to your blogroll, and far from begging to be put on yours, I am merely pointing out this fact.

I am not scared of anyone reading your opinions on political matters (so I link to you, because I enjoy debating you).

You might even note that the very first Liberal Blogger I linked to was Waldo himself.. again I have no qualms with anyone reading his work. I believe it only helps my arguments...

I see in a follow on post that you are threatening to ban my opinions from Slant Blog...

http://slantblog.blogspot.com/2007/02/goode-on-money-threat.html

It would seem you can totally fulfill your slant by getting rid of those who would offer opposing views to your posts....

i.e. backing up my argument as towards your blogroll.

How could I ignore anonymous number one up there. It is dilusional to say that the VA Senate is controlled by the PUbs.

When you have Senatorial Pubs voting in consecutive years on issues that cause House Pubs seats to be in jeapardy....

That argument hardly holds water, especially since the Senate allows dems and pub alike to vote on chairmanships... i.e Potts...

As far as Chichester and all concerned, once you have given up on lower taxation and limited Govt. you are Dem.....

"Goode on the 'Money' Threat" - & My comments on this post:

Terry:
It is amazing how you cringe at Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson like they are the greatest threat to all liberty in America.

However, you give a pass to these radical Mullahs in Iraq and Iran who convince teenagers to strap on bombs and kill infidels (yeah, you are one too) for the promise of 23 virgins in heaven.

The ultimate goal of Islam is world domination, Virgil Goode is right. The foolish leftists in Europe have set their entire continent up for a demographic timebomb, by allowing unfettered Muslim Immigration. You know something Virgl opposes.

Are you truly that short sighted, or just constantly blinded by your hatred of Conservatives?

You know Terry, my policy at STD is to debate all comers. The worse they present their opinions the better it makes my post look.

That is for the readers to judge. Why don't you challenge your readers? Should you ban STD from Slantblog?

I think their opinion would be even more important than your own... as you can imagine they enjoy reading the debate on the issues.

oh, and I am pleased that you do look favorably upon Mr. Fallwell & Robertson, I can not wait for you to expand upon this revelation...

furthermore, 'toad like' would be more of a 'hopping' sensation rather than squirming, that would be more worm like :-) The fact you didn't curse me and only likened me to an amphibian displays quite admirably your civility as a blogger....

"New Garbage Policy" - My Comments on this post:

You know Terry:

I have taken some time to think about this, this, well I'll be polite.... this challenge maybe you have laid out.

You label STD and other semi-named bloggers as a Sulkosphere... You accuse us of being sabatuers towards I guess vapolitical blogs... You go after Allen and Goode, with a knife...

yet, I challenge you with direct, unabusive debate, and you try to twist it into some kind of my 'bullying'of you, and of course 'your space' your blog.

Whereas, my blog is quite open for you to come over and debate me... you know, lay out your case as to why my notions are some kind of intellectual rot...

Same as I challenge your posts on your blog....

I haven't totally made up my mind how to react to you... you seemed a worthy opponent, and now all I see is a grown Man 'stomping his feet', declaring 'he's had enough of this abuse'?

You fein like I am some how insulting you by coming over to your blog to challenge your notions, rhetoric and how do I say? You take Liberties with the intent and actions of my elected officials....

and you want to cry foul, and liken me to just some 'drunk in a bar', totally unreasonable, beyond rational.....

I think you are just 'shrinking' from the debate....

I'll take you any time, open thread, pod cast, what ever, let's let the people decide..... I'll be your 'huckleberry' debate me fair and square Terry....

If you want to kill STD, call me out into the town square and shoot me dead with your logic.....

"Sorry, Wrong Number" - My comments were deleted by Mr Rea on this post.  Essentially, I told Mr Rea, this was nothing but a debate using a bunch of electrons, and that he didn't have to be so Melodramatic about the whole thing.   Plus I inserted a comment about having just come from Lcpl Daniel T. Morris's funeral, a young man who felt so strongly in his ideals that he volunteered to go to Iraq, and  paid the 'ultimate price' for doing so.  The point being the least Mr Rea could do was not ban my opinions from his blog... (Mommy, Make the Conservatives Go Away!)

Just to round this up, the reason for posting this is in case a 'smear' campaign begins by Rea & Co. towards STD or fellow Conservative bloggers, in the fashion of I/We are 'bullying, right wing extremist, cyber stalker, up to no good, and don't add anything to the the debate'....  Read here, You guys start that, and I already have it all saved... We'll see who is up to the debate, and who is actually 'adding' to political discourse, and who is actually seeking to limit debate, and/or exchange of ideas.

Bottom Line, if R.T. Rea could lay me out in a debate he would have already done so, and/or accepted my challenge.  Instead, all I get is a bunch of name calling, and rude comparisons thrown my way...  and of course banned from Slantblog.  For a guy with 35 years of journalistic experience, champion of free speech,  a dozen more years in age, and politicial experience etc. etc... I should be easy pickens...
