John Gibson whines: Blogs misquote me to build outrage against me

Now I have people calling me names on television. Names like "fathead" and "the worst something or other" for things I really did not say. Or if the words were actually uttered, they were taken wildly out of context.

Who does this? These blogs you find on the side of the road on the information highway. They're like litter. You don't notice as you're speeding by but if you stop you see how ugly it all is.

I find myself being misquoted or the quotes taken out of context in order to build outrage against me. And conveniently provided is a link so the gullible reader can send me a note telling me how awful I am.

It's one thing to get a lot of cranky e-mails, but it's another for people on television to pick this stuff up and run with it — never bothering to check or ask for a comment. It's a mugging, it's smearing, it's really foul. But this is what they offer at Christmas.

3. It's really rather pathetic
Gibson wants to be part of the Faux A team like Hannity Hume and Oreilly but he really doesn't have the stuff to make it plus he is almost as funny looking as Alan Colmes. I think this fuckin book and the made up controversy surrounding it is an attempt either by him or by Faux to put him into a more visible position. I think it has backfired badly because Gibson just comes off as creepy. Even his fake outrage is unconvincing.

4. Most people probably didn't know him until he suggested bombing Paris
rather than London back in July. Not the best way to introduce yourself to America. Considering a lot of his audience and/or their fathers fought to liberate Paris in '44

8. He's trying to nestle down in the center of a self-inflicted controversy
He's becoming a real Captain Queeg.

I'm guessing that in tomorrow's column he'll tell us how he measured sand into a can to represent portions of strawberries.

:evilgrin:

5. Hey, John - I Don't Know What Happened to You
I first watched you with Whorealdo during the O.J. deal-ly. And you looked to be a clean cut down-the-middle-type.

What went WRONG, dude?

10. He got caught lying in his book pretending theres a war on Christmas
Some of his examples have been found to be completely fictitious. He manufactured this supposed war to sell his book. The worst kind of vermin.

11. I wrote to him...
"Comment:

You are a sodden drunk and a liar. It is people like you that are ruining Christmas. You make the baby Jesus cry."

12. Interesting how his writing supports our arguments against him.
For example, when a liberal posts an argument against something Gibson said, usually it describes exactly what he said, when he said it, who he was speaking to, and often the evidence of his words are given with an actual clip or sound byte.

Republican arguments usually do not include direct evidence, rather they include cliche's supported with opinion that pulls on the readers heartstrings (if your Republican, that is).

This piece is a perfect example of the latter, for example {Names like "fathead" and "the worst something or other" for things I really did not say.} What did he say?...who said "FATHEAD?!" (c'mon what liberal would use that word). WHERE IS THE FACTUAL EVIDENCE.

Meanwhile, the 5 + year smearing of Americans who are liberals continues as always. Their motto is to Divide and conquer, and the 58 million who voted for Kerry, if they get mad about it.....FUCK THEM. They smear us so they can stay in power. Unfortunately for them they think it's still 2002. The war on Christmas was another Schavio for them. They look like fools now.

Just to stoop to the Repugs level...John Gibson is a MORAN.

15. He was referring to Olbermann
with "the worst something or other". Olbermann named him one of his Worst Persons in the World recently on his show.

14. Oh, fathead, we KNOW what you say - the ENTIRE THING - & you LIE - all the
time!

Trouble is - for you - that WE have recorded all of you lies - the COMPLETE unedited version.

Only a repuke fool would NOT consider what you spew anything but LIES and DISTORTIONS.

Only problem is, YOU are the one who is doing the slandering and taking out of context that WE can see!

Tough living in a fishbowl with ample sources to CHECK EVERYTHING, isn't it?!!
