Not “the majority of the blogosphere.” The “Conservative blogosphere” was what was referred to in the post.

And respectful comments from that quarter, while there were a few, were drowned out by the usual club-waving yahoo chorus.

Ready to admit that the vast majority of the blogosphere marked Kennedy’s passing respectfully? It seems like it’s about time that you did.

Because unlike you I actually did read the blog post in question.

You’ve been trying to skate around your little fib, so I’m just going to go ahead and rub your nose in it again.

“The death of Edward “Ted” Moore Kennedy, the famous liberal senator, has brought both praise and some scorn from across the United States and throughout the world. His passing marks the end of an era during which the Kennedy clan—most notably its three famous brothers: John, Robert and Edward—fascinated a nation and the world beyond it with their ambition, style, idealism and tragedies.

As Democrat Patrick Leahy of Vermont said, “He [Kennedy] really worked at becoming the best senator he possibly could. And he did.”

Certainly, Sparky,. the post in question does make mention of Kennedy’s various foibles. I’d say fair enough to that particular point.

But then I’d have to turn around and remind you that Russ notes that Kennedy’s personal foibles aren’t what define his career, or even his life. In fact, Russ heaps a good amount of praise on Kennedy, and there’s no reason why he shouldn’t.

Sparky, you were lying when you forwarded this post as being disrespectful of Kennedy. It’s all right there. You must realize I don’t even need you to admit to your dishonesty.

Heh. Ted Kennedy’s level of socialism, if manifest in a Canadian politician, would have made him something akin to a Red Tory here. In the US the phrase “socialist” may work as a bogeyman: it doesn’t here.

“Unrepentant supporter of causes that would have had JFK rolling in his grave.”

No doubt. And JFK supported activities – the invasion of Cuba, for example – that would have appalled Ted. Your point is…?

“Rather than what can you do for your country, Teddy flipped that on it’s head and promoted the nanny sate with What can your country do for you.”

Going somewhere with this?

“I found it amusing as well reading the posts here, especially the early ones, accusing the conservatives if being less than civil, and at the same timne the blogger tossed around words like “assholery” as if that is some kind edefying term.”

Uh…Nick? The blogger I am commenting on – Patrick Ross – runs a blog called “The Nexus of Assholery”. His choice of terminology, not mine. If you find the term unedifying, I suggest you take it up with him: it’s how he’s chosen to brand himself.

“In short, this blog seems to revel in hypocracy at least on that front.”

I hope I’ve corrected your mistaken impression.

“Time will tell if that has affected the rest of the blog as well. My suspicion is, that it has. But I am willing ot be convinced otherwise. I am just not holding my breath.”

We live but for the sunshine of your approval.

I’m still waiting for you to explain away those lies you told about Russ Campbell’s blogpost. Remember those?

Maybe you’d like to shed some truth on that.

-An individual who lives in the past. Moreover, a man who lives on the past hollow “triumphs” of others.
-An individual who thinks that computer-generated links in the absence of any kind of editorial review represent an endorsement of genius.
-An individual who cannot admit when most of the blogosphere has unequivocally contradicted him.
-An individual who actually lionizes his distinct non-contribution to intellectual discourse.

“Arrogance and stupidity in the same package”. The lack of self-awareness is utterly hilarious.

Sparky, just because you want to pretend you’ve knocked someone down doesn’t mean you didn’t just get creamed.

I mean, again.
