44. Tom Blumer:
I’m glad Instapundit linked to your article. In certain circles (yours apparently) he’s the man. In others, he’s a literal joke. His web traffic doesn’t make up for his lack of credibility. (When is he “going Galt” anyway? Maybe after the state of Tenneesee stops signing his paychecks?)
- “Proof that they HAD to is in this article” Again, Tom, I remind you that media reports are not sufficient proof of anything. I can point to media reports that say just about anything: that Bristol Palin is the true mother of Trig, that UFOs exist, and that county commissioners were forced to give someone with 80K in the bank foodstamps. I’m not impressed.
- As to the confidential/anonymous trope… I think you’re confused. Anonymous means “not named or identified.” Confidential means “secret.” So yes…”confidential” is an accurate description of this mysterious e-mail source. But so is “anonymous!!!” The source was not named or identified!!!
And while it’s “confidential” to your blog buddy, it’s “anonymous” to anyone else. Your distinction does not impress me either.
- Putting words in your mouth??? Tom. The headline to your article says: “Food Stamps for the Well-Off: A National Trend?” I’m not putting words in your mouth… The headline writers are. (Perhaps you can change this one like you did the “Democrats started the recession” post.)
And don’t patronize me with the “You seem to have missed the question mark in the article’s title” nonsense.
Tell ya what, dude. I’m going to write an article too. It’s going to be called: “Tom Blumer: Hack?”
And when you cry about me calling you names, I’ll just say…”No, look at the question mark. I’m not calling you a hack. I’m just saying there’s a possibility you’re a hack.”
And when people in the comments section start saying, “Yeah, that Tom Blumer due is a hack,” then I’ll point to them, like you did, and say, “Evidence since presented in comments here continues to support the contention that Tom Blumer is a hack.”
- Hesitation on embarrassing myself? I’m a pseudonymous comment troll. It’s almost impossible to embarrass myself too much…
And apologize? For calling you out? Short answer:
NO.
