@Evan Hurst
Well you certainly have the same..uh.. “style” when it comes to “calling people out.” But at least he doesn’t bring last year’s memes out of the annals of /b/ into his posts.

Really not sure what you’re talking about, but whatev.
Would everyone please think twice before posting anything else to this already sour, old thread? Thank you.
@David Roberts

I’ve discussed it thoroughly, elsewhere. And who said “U SUCK”?
Hey all, whatever happened to all the promised reporting on Andrew Marin? Looks like the 700 Club beat you to it, they love the guy! How nice, huh?
Right Wing Watch and Truth Wins Out both have a lot to say on it.
