Killgore Trout Beclowns Himself

Posted on | June 22, 2010 | 50 Comments

Dave Weigel of the Washington Post contacted me seeking a denial of an assertion by one of Charles Johnson’s LGF henchmorons that I was the anonymous ”Tea Party consultant” who wrote the Playboy article:

“I’m almost certain it’s him. He’s making up a lot of the details and probably exaggerating his influence . . .”

Fool. You missed three telltale clues:

  1. The Playboy article disses Eric Odom. Eric’s a friend of mine and I specifically criticized the consultant for taking an unnecessary and unfair shot at a good guy.
  2. The consultant writes like a consultant. Compare the consultant’s Playboy article to some of my recent long-form work, e.g., “The War on Watchdogs” and especially “Battle Cry in the North Country.” The styles are entirely different.
  3. A good reporter never burns his sources. Never publish anything that might enable someone to discover the identity of an anonymous source. At this task, the consultant failed.

I don’t know the identity of the consultant, but my sources do, and I can’t say anything more about the consultant without risk of compounding the damage he’s already inadvertantly done.

Killgore Trout overlooked obvious evidence that contradicted his thesis, but what else do we expect from a moron who worships at the shrine of Charles Johnson and thought it was “clever” to plant racist slurs in the comments at Hot Air?

    Dude. That makes about as much sense as suggesting that *I* was the guy who wrote that piece for Playboy. Heck, Dave Weigel should have laughed that one off right away.

    My Hot Air mission was clever. I uncovered the racism at Hot Air by going to Hot Air in the middle of the night and posting racist comments.

    I also specifically chastised Killgore for his actions at Hot Air. But he meant well, so no harm and no foul. Hot Air is a wingnut racist site. I said so.

    Oddly, I read that piece last night, and thought, “Well, about the only thing we know for certain is that it isn’t Stacy or Smitty.”

    I secretely wish for an invite to the Playboy Mansion, even if I do not care for girls that much. Because the rest of you want to go and you will be jealous of my success.

    This is an example of the classic liberal tenet that if you can imagine something that makes it so. LGF is truly a site for liberals only.

    The point lost in all this is that RSM really is a shade too Gonzo.

    Update: Sure enough, it’s you. You are plugging the article on your blog…

    Dana Loesch in Playboy? (via google)

    I know some of the people in this guy’s network, and I don’t believe he was authorized to disclose that operational detail. There will be repercussions…

    UPDATE III: My source sends along a couple of photos showing how the article is presented in the print edition:

    So when is Hef having you over at the mansion?

    The fact that there is a ton of evidence that it is not you PROVES that it is you, McCain! Behaving and writing in a manner opposite to your norm is exactly what you would do if you were trying to hide your identity!

    Also, denying it proves it more – that’s just what a guilty person would do!

    Furthermore, if this individual is found, and it turns out not to be true, that is the nail in the coffin that proves your guilt: only a truly guilty person would hire someone to confess and take the fall for him!!
