Bill Schmalfeldt Axed by Examiner (Again) Vows Retaliation on His Enemies

“Bill Schmalfeldt doesn’t have principles. Bill Schmalfeldt doesn’t have values. Bill Schmalfeldt doesn’t have beliefs. Bill Schmalfeldt has enemies, and then nothing, a black and dank and empty void of sullenness.”
— Ken White, Popehat, Aug. 6

Sunday, I reported that Bill Schmalfeldt was bragging that he had been re-hired by the Examiner, where he’d already been fired twice. I predicted this would be short-lived, given his past history. Turns out, the Examiner kiboshed his plan to write as “Lester Klemper”:

I got an e-mail telling me they were withdrawing their invitation to re-hire me.

Notice it was “their invitation,” according to Bill Schmalfeldt, as opposed to his attempting to weasel back in under a pseudonym. Predictably, Schmalfeldt reacts by externalizing blame:

“Just wait until you see what an angry Bill Schmalfeldt is capable of” — as if the guy who has been harassing Brett Kimberlin’s targets since last June has never before been angry. Fantasizing the violent death of Patrick Frey and Ken White? That was just fun and games.

So he wrote a blog post about this:

Blah, blah, blah. Bill Schmalfeldt is always entirely innocent when his schemes fail, and everyone else is always to blame. Remember that the first time Schmalfeldt was banned from the Examiner was in December 2011, fully six months before I’d ever heard of him. At that time, the editor who banned him (Kevin Staunton) said it was because of “personal” nature of Schmalfeldt’s attacks on his targets (Wisconsin supporters of Gov. Scott Walker) and Schmalfeldt’s “continued disregard for projecting yourself in a professional manner.”

He was subsequently fired again by the Examiner after perpetrating the “Dead Breitbart” smear, about which he lied, because dishonesty is just intrinsic to his warped personality. And despite the obvious fact that his latest hope of reincarnating himself as “Lester Klemper” at the Examiner was doomed to fail from the start, notice how Schmalfeldt threatens vengeance on those he insists are responsible for his failure:

I said, you’re not going to like what happens if you continue.
They continued.
Therefore, I am not responsible for what is going to happen next.
Aaron Walker? Ali Akbar? R. Stacy McCain? WJJ Hoge?
You won’t know when. You won’t know where. You won’t know how.
But you sure as FUCK will know why.

Typical Bill Schamfleldt: The Dire Warning of Terrible Consequences. Notice that the targets of this threat are four of the five defendants in the Kimberlin v. Walker, et. al., lawsuit. This is not an accident:

Bill Schmalfeldt long ago made clear the purpose of his trolling of Kimberlin’s “Enemies List,” and he cannot deny it now.

As for his Dire Warning of Terrible Consequences, how can Schmalfeldt claim he is “not responsible for what is going to happen next,” seeing as how he asserts advance knowledge of these Terrible Consequences?

Bad things are going to happen to us — Bill says he knows this — but he is “not responsible” for it? Of course, there are those who believe Bill Schmalfeldt is quite literally insane, so in a sense, he isn’t responsible. But I don’t think he meant it that way.

  1. Apparently he never heard the old adage “A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man dies but once.” Grave consequences indeed for someone like him..

  2. how OLD is this retard? he once tried to pass himself off as a combat navy corpsman in vietnam. never would show me his dd214 even when I redacted my info and showed mine. (this was before I knew him).
    come to find out he WAS in the navy..as a public relations widget.
    I doubt, very seriously that he’s old enough to be a VN veteran either.
    when he was cornered one of his sock puppets came on and pleaded that he was old and had Parkinson’s..etc.

    he’s seriously a piece of work and in dire need of a mental eval.

  3. He’s a Vietnam-ERA veteran. He got into the Navy when it was too late to deploy to SE Asia. He was a Corpsman apparently at Camp Lejune. He got out and reentered for a second hitch serving in a JO rate.

  4. Look, I believe in the free market. I think Bill should be able to sell his rape fantasies, murder fantasies, paranoid word salad, persecution complexes, and I-have-nothing-but-hate essays to anyone who will buy them.

  7. When I’ve hauled him into court, I’ve at least had the courtesy to carefully wash the poop flakes out of my beard.

  8. Mr. Schmalfeldt seems to be the personification of the Dunning-Kruger effect. That is, he believes his influence as a pundit is far, far greater than it really is. What you see with these periodic fits of his, is reality breaking through his carefully crafted fantasy. It’s really quite pathetic and were he not so odious, I would feel sorry for him.

  10. For somebody who pushes his reputation as a tough guy I don’t see any scars. I have more than most people have hair. I have a scar on my face over a disagreement with a rabbit. I thought he said he’s been in bar fights? Maybe it’s all the fat.

  18. When a man can’t be blamed for the bad, he also can’t be credited for the good.

    Of course, there’s nothing good for which the Blithering Stool could be credited, so…

  23. MyLife aggregates data from a miscellaneous mess of sources, accuracy uncertain, share of entries consisting of conflated identities, uncertain. They list a Bill Schmalfeldt in Elkridge, Md. born in 1955; they also report he graduated from a high school in North Dakota in 1973. If this is correct, he is too young for VietNam. About 97% of the extant troop force in Vietnam was withdrawn during the calendar year 1972, so I would wager there were few new deployments there; the number of men born after 1952 who actually served in VietNam would be quite few. Also, if I am not mistaken, the Navy contributed only about 2% of the manpower to the war effort (though, ironically, that 2% included both John McCain and John Kerry). It would not surprise me if the total number of sailors born after 1952 who served in VietNam was a three digit number.

  24. His neck refused to forget that #brettkimberlin ever existed, and needless to say, it didn’t like what happened. It didn’t know when, where, or how, but it sure as FUCK knew why.

    It was that rarest of things, a sentient neck. Possibly unique in all the annals of neckdom. Science mourns its loss.
