I posted this letter on the blog Feb 27,2007 the exact day that my letter to the editor was published in the Wall St. Journal and received this comment from a reader – we’ll refer to as “Mr. Personality” who goes by the very covert name of “bnkpm.” He’s a very secretive and bitter guy.
“…I notice that you changed the version of your letter that you posted here to remove the “lowest in 30 years” lie, but the WSJ already published it. Slick move, liar.”
My response:
I “changed the version of my letter” did I? The letter to the editor posted in the the Tuesday Feb 27,2007 Wall St. Journal in which I rebut the distortions and inaccuracies of Senator Conrad’s previous Feb 16th letter, which he still has not responded to, which I have posted above is ver batim as it appears in the actual paper.
Perhaps you can cite your proof source that shows that I said that “the current 4.6% unemployment rate is the lowest in 30 years.”
So until you prove me wrong, it is you not I who is the liar.
My letter above is the exact letter to the editor published in the Tuesday Feb 27th edition of the WSJ.
So, I’ll be waiting for your “proof” that I changed my letter. Until then we’ll all assume that you are a bitter partisan bomb throwing moron. Also funny how you could not rebut one of my statements in my letter to Senator Conrad.
Thanks for playing…

Instead of actually proving that I omitted words that appeared in the original (“lowest in 30 years”) he goes on to call me a liar 57 times.
It is obvious the left has lost the intellectual debate in this country. All they have left is name sophomoric name calling. It’s actually pretty pathetic.
So compare my published letter to the editor that I posted on this blog from opinionjournal.com online to the actual letter to the editor as it appeared in the print version dated Tuesday February 27, 2007 page B6. The words I was accused of “omitting” from the original never appeared in the original.Specifically, I was accused of omitting “the lowest level in 30 years” from the original after the sentence in the 3rd paragraph “More than 7.5 million jobs have been created with unemployment at 4.6% .”
There is no “the lowest level in 30 years” after that sentence in the original. Period. End of story. Case closed. Here it is, you can click to enlarge.
So will the guy who has falsely charged me with intentionally changing the version I posted on this blog from the original now apologize to me? The question is does this man (or woman. I should not assume the person is a male automatically) have enough integrity and humility to admit he was wrong and apologize to me?
This was his final comment:
“So where is it? If you’re so confident that you can show the world what a liar and moon bat I am, surely you’d post it prominently on the front page of your blog, right? But you won’t, because you’re a liar and a coward.
“And cut the “give me your name” and “$100k bet” grandstanding. That’s all pompous bloviation and a pathetic diversion and you know it.
“Just post a scan of the letter and the matter will be resolved, and you will be shown to be a compulsive pathological liar, just like your lyin’ buddies Ann, Sean, Bill and Rush.
“C’mon, coward – POST IT!
So, I “scanned” and “posted” the letter. I “posted it.”
And what did it prove? It proved that “Mr. Personality” falsely accused me of intentionally deceiving my readers by omitting words from the original. I knew there was a reason he wouldn’t wager any money on it. (I bet him $100,000.)
Case closed.
I won’t hold my breath waiting for an apology. But I am glad that this has been resolved and everybody knows who the “liar” is.
Now fly away MOONBAT!
