KSTP erroneously reported that there have been 8 disciplinary actions against Dr. Harvanko. Their reporter is either sloppy or lazy. While the MN Board of Medical Practice lists 8 public actions, the actions arose out of two sets of disciplinary facts, not 8. A quick perusal of the MN Board of Medical Practice lists disciplinary actions against many doctors. Why are they not on the news? Sounds like a slow news day for KSTP or maybe someone has it out for this particular doctor...perhaps a DA who wants to look like a hero? This doctor already gave up his license, which is the typical punishment for doctors who are accused of overprescribing. 30 years in jail is not going to make Minnesota any safer since he can no longer prescribe medication.

Beck also believes in distorting the truth and rewriting history. David Barton is a joke. If people are relying on Glenn Beck, a drop out, to teach them history, this country is doomed.

You asked me to give examples of Breitbart's intellectual dishonesty. I gave examples of his intellectual dishonesty. ACORN is one of those examples. The Sherrod tape is one of those examples. He used a clip out of context to show that the NAACP was racist, but that's not what the tape actually showed. Editing a tape to make a false point is not relevance -- that's propaganda. Since you choose to be deliberately obtuse and claim that this is all subjective (it's not), I walked you through it like a child. If you want to take offense, so be it. Conservatives are good at feighned indignation.

California investigated ACORN and no wrongdoing was found because the tape was heavily edited. Same here. He released an edited clip which taken out of context to show racism when in fact the unedited version showed just the opposite.

He is intellectually dishonest. What he does is no different than what the right accuses Michael Moore of doing. He edits his material to illustrate a point that would not be there if the material was see in context.

Apparently you are entitled to pick your own facts because that's what your did. Tell the whole story. Not everyone is as uneducated as you apparently believe they are.
FACTS:
1. Rutherford B Hayes, a REPUBLICAN sells out black Americans in the compronise of 1877 to insure his presidency, giving rise to the KKK and Jim Crow law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compromise_of_1877

2. Northern Democrats and Republicans supported civil rights legislation while Southern Democrats and Reublicans opposed it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_...

3. Republicans employ "southern strategy" to recruit racist Southern Democrats .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy

As I said, conservatives are intellectually dishonest. SInce you cited wikipedia as a source I used it as well. I'd love hear how it's become a biased liberal source since you made your post.

How's that paranoia working out for you? You people have no idea how batsh*t crazy you sound.

Some of my friends (who way more to the left than I) were discussing the tea party. They felt it was incumbent upon Democrats and the left to listen to the tea party and try to understand them. The felt that if the tea party were not marginalized by the left they would come to the table and try to work together. I asked them (1) if they'd even talked to any tea party members (I have) and (2) if they were stoned. Tea party members don't care what democrats and the left think of them. They are convinced that they are 100% right and know it all. They don't respond to facts or reason. They are not interested in reaching consensus. Any focus on the tea party by the left, other than pointing out the flaws in their platform, would be a complete waste of time.

Oh, I am not new to the internet. Back when I was a young attorney I belonged to a local forum where things got personal. Say my screen name was "Mrs_Smith"..I deliberately used something really common. Someone who knew me accidentally posted to me by my real first name (I'll pretend it's Melissa). In my jurisdiction, unfortunately there happened to be an attorney named Melissa Smith. The wingnuts gleefully proclaimed that they had reported me to my employer for posting online during work hours and that I was going to lose my job, etc. They also looked up this woman's address and posted it and bragged about driving by what they thought was my house and how I'd better watch my back. So a totally innocent woman got harrassed by wingnuts because they disagreed with what I was posting. Believe me, I know their tricks.

Wow, The right are really paranoid! No wonder you guys fell for all the Neocon nonsense about terrorists being around every corner.
