I got some fan mail today. Since Barbara doesn't want to back up her assertions with factual evidence, I figure the point is that they will speak for themselves—as well they do.

Subject: Re: Cindy SheehanDear Barb,
Could you please prove your assertion about misinformation coming from me? If I am misinforming, then there must be facts I am suppressing. Without some facts to back up your assertion, you are merely hurling insults.
Ben Greenberg
Oh well . . .

Subject: RE: Cindy SheehanYou have merely to go to Rush or Drudge to get the REAL facts….I don’t have time to list them all here….don’t be saying Drudge is misinforming the public….I have NEVER known Drudge or Rush to misinform in ANY way, shape, or form,…perhaps it’s your left leaning mindset that makes you think that anyone on the right is “misinforming” the public…..while in fact you leftist “propagandists” are the ones doing the real misinforming …or more like NEGLECTING to report pertinent FACTS, which then slant the story to suit your agendas. …..I have seen what the “mainstream” media has tried to do the Bush administration and it sickens me …and I assure you sir…millions of Americans feel the same way…MILLIONS…witness November 2, 2004…..Hey, we are not the same” ignorant, kept in the dark” by the mainstream leftist media, silent majority, anymore…we now have Rush, Hannity, Fox and Drudge among all the conservative blogs, and talk shows all over America to keep us informed CORRECTLY now,…and mind you , yes every story has two sides….at least FOX gives BOTH sides…unlike the leftist blogs, and the mainstream media ….sorry, but take your war protesting, lame propaganda, and spew it to your brain washed little leftist groupies…I am not buying it….nor is America….
Thanks, Barb
It was tempting to publish which government agency Barbara works for, and in which city, but a person could probably lose their job doing stuff like this on the nickel of their Federal employer.

Oh please publish what agency she works for! Or at least forward the information to the “In the Loop” column by Al Kamen in the Washington Post and let him out her for you.
fallacy of logic #xx (i don’t have time to look it up; hey, that was her excluse!)
referring in argument to other sources without credentialling them. [in a “fair” argument, the “credentialling” is a mutually agreed-upon and repeatable process.]
corollary: referring in argument to other sources without even bothering to repeat said other sources’ arguments.
~~~
which leads us to the painful question — how do these misguided people credential mendacious nuts as their authoritative sources of information and truth? the future of democracy may lie in determining the answer.

thanks to Bitch Ph.D. for linking to you.
Among other things, these emails show that one must be careful about .sig files, otherwise vitriolic emails to fonts of misinformation will all be signed “thanks, Barb.”
Your brainwashed leftist groupie,
