Forsake Journalistic Integrity

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.

From a post titled "TELL ME THIS IS A HOAX, PLEASE":

Lots of readers keep sending me a link to this anti-military site: Forsake the Troops.

Not going to link to it myself. Here's the address if you must see it: www.forsakethetroops.info.

True or Better has background on the guy who apparently created the site. Seems he has pulled a similar stunt before.

Whether it's a hoax or not, it's deeply disturbing. Some people have way too much time and hate on their hands.

Agreed. Those heartless liberals.

But wait. That sentence (the emphasis added one) seems kinda vague, doesn't it? I wonder why she didn't quote from her link like she usually does? Let's see:

Looks like a new site from White Power activist Michael Crook called Forsake the Troops. This time he’s creating another site that’s designed to attack the U.S. troops, presumably to make those who oppose the war in Iraq look bad...I signed Crook’s guestbook, stating the following:

...You guys really do need someone to hate the troops. There really aren't such people, so you have to invent them. I'm not fooled, and neither is anýone else.

Next time, try harder.

Within fifteen minutes, my comment had been deleted from the site. Shockola.

Crook did something like this last year, I’ve learned, creating a fake “group” called Citizens Against the Troops, as a “practical joke,” he claims.

Man, I just can't think why Michelle didn't make the fact that this has been completely debunked clearer in her blog posting.

Then again, she's still waiting for proof that Juan Alvarez is a U.S. citizen.
