I suspect that if Chad Shulte were shooting at you, the safest place to stand would be right in front of him. He is a very poor reader, and a very bad shot. I note this post:
One of the Thune bloggers' favorite websites has been investigated for anti-Muslim threats.
I am not sure who the "Thune bloggers" are, but I suspect that SDP is included. The "favorite website" mentioned is Little Green Footballs, Charles Johnson's blog. Johnson has focused on the threat from modern Islam, and recently exposed the doctored photos that embarrassed Reuters. I do have LGF bookmarked, but if I have ever cited it I don't remember the occasion.
The link Chad provides leads to a parody of LGF, Little Green Fascists. It's funny, and if I were Johnson, I'd be flattered. It's like the Northern Valley Beacon in spirit only, well, clever. The Faux LGF mentions a Washington Post story, but provides no links. I couldn't find the original WaPo article from their search engine, but I did notice this in the material LGFascists provides.
The FBI, according to Hooper [spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations], recently investigated several threats of physical harm against Muslims posted by Little Green Footballs readers [emphasis mine].
Assuming the WaPo/LGF story is genuine, at least LGFascists is honest in reporting that the FBI investigated threats posted by LGF readers, and not the LGF website or Johnson himself. That is more honesty than you can expect from CCK.
CCK recently required each commenter to register in order to control some of the nastier posts, if I recall the event correctly. So Chad knows full well that he cannot be responsible for what readers post in his comments section. This is one reason why SDP doesn't have a comments section. No one here is interested in policing it.
I do not think Chad was intentionally lying. He is just a careless reader and, as usual, got it wrong.
