‘Through a Plate Glass Window’: How Liberal Media De-Legitimize Dissent

Patterico did a post yesterday about the “Accuse the Accusers” strategy that I meant to link and discuss at length, but I didn’t get around to it because new outrages were piling up quicker than I could keep track. In just the past couple of days: Stephen Crowder got sucker-punched in the head by Michigan […]

REPORT: @NadiaNaffe’s Lawsuit Against @Patterico Flounders in L.A. Hearing

The diligent John Hoge calls our attention to the report at Popehat which indicates that the plaintiff was unable to show a valid claim during a Monday hearing in federal court. Admonishments against sarcasm are duly noted. Meanwhile — and I’m sure this is just a coincidence, Neal Rauhauser — the pro-Kimberlin trolls decided to […]

The Neitzschean Existential Angst of Blogging in the Same Sphere as Ace

BTW, in case you didn’t know it, @joenbc hates conservative talk-radio with the heat of ten thousand suns. — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) December 10, 2012 OK, the pretentious title is both: An anti-intellectual mockery of show-offs who throw around terms like “existential angst”; and An honest admission of inner doubts about my own relevance, […]

Bill Schmalfeldt is one of the strange characters in the troll army that has been harassing targets of the Kimberlin-Rauhauser Axis for the past several months. Schmalfeldt recently called attention to himself by cyberstalking me (see, “Pray for Ten Thousand Angels,” Nov. 23), but research shows that he has been at it since June. His […]

They’re Still Hating Breitbart

After screaming into the phone in frustration, I caught my breath and calmed down, finally paraphrasing scripture: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Never mind to whom I was talking or what the original subject of my rant was, the bottom line is something some of us have been saying for months: “Damn, […]

New Charges Filed Against Former ‘Anonymous’ Spokesman Barrett Brown

Barrett Brown, whose online meltdown led to his September arrest for threatening an FBI agent, has been indicted for last year’s Stratfor hacking. UPDATE: Brown acted as an unofficial spokesman for the Anonymous hacking conspiracy for more than a year and was raided (but not arrested) in March at the time the feds busted the […]

The Continuing Newsworthiness of the Weird Kimberlin-Rauhauser Story

Brett Kimberlin could have been sentenced to 230 years in federal prison “Keep in mind that Rauhauser, by inciting Nadia Naffe’s lawsuit against Patterico, has obligated Patterico to avoid writing about this subject on advice of counsel, and Aaron Walker‘s attorneys have advised him likewise. So two of the bloggers most knowledgeable about what I […]
