Splat!

Big City Liberal may want to check his facts before he posts.

Otherwise his ongoing public foolishness just kind of hangs out there for all to see.

Update: Blame for all “See the post at Big City Lib on the info we leaked to him.
We’re more interested in an apology by the publishers rather than Steyn himself, for the reasons expressed above.”

You have to scroll down; however (and I repost it here as the mini-barristers at lawiscool.com have been known to sanitize the record) if you scroll up to the first comment you will note that some guy named Currie wrote on November 25th,

What’s fun about Miller is that he simply has no idea what he is talking about. The particular book Steyn was referring to is well known to people who pay attention to the writings of the Shi’ite hierarchy. Miller’s attempt to smear Steyn has entirely backfired and his persistence in beclowning himself has made him a laughing stock.

The poor man should simply have the grace to retire from Ryerson and avoid engaging in blog battles he has no chance of winning. He is far too used to the days when “journalists” could write their version of the truth without risk of contradiction much less “fisking”. Miller’s train has left the station. lawiscool

    The best part is that, in the comments, he gets his ass kicked by Iowahawk as well. That’s like entering the UFC as a rookie and asking to fight Brock Lesnar as your first fight.

    P’owned!

    Best change the handle to Big City Fib. Perhaps he could be a special cabinet advisor to Stephan “what junta?” Dion.

    If he hasn’t done so already, IttyBittyFibber is bound to:

    a) claim Steyn photoshopped the book covers from green to blue

    b) start bragging that greats like Steyn and Iowahawk are now paying attention to him

    c) resort to the “ha! guess I struck a nerve, huh?!” tradition of elementary school rhetorical “logic”.

    He’s has to be the dumbest Liberal Blogger on
    the net, my opinion from reading his blog
    therefore my opinion which is legal under
    British Common Law cause I based my opinion
    that he’s an idiot from reading his drivil and
    blather.

    Pawned BigCityleftard, frozen peas work
    well when one’s foot is stuck in one’s mouth.
    Pist not really but can he look any dumber than
    Steyn made him look. The peas are the icing
    on the cakeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

    I was just out shoveling my driveway and I think a piece of Big City Lib accidentally got tossed in the snowbank. Volcanic ash travels far these days. Sorry BCL!

    This is getting tiresome. Remember Jim Henley and how he mis-attributed the “muslims breeding like mosquitos” quote to Steyn? Remember Steyn’s daisy cutter rebuttal? Remember Henley’s vaporized blog post?

    Well that quote was misattributed tp him not just once, but also by ElMasry and the floater who shall remain nameless.

    And now this.

    What is it about Steyn that makes the left drop about 50 IQ points when they deal with him? ROFL

    Bill:
    jealousy. These twisted, butter guys did all the right things—got a liberal arts degree or two , ascribed to all the latest received lefty wisdom…

    And a ‘school leaver’ and former dj is the one who gets invited to the White House and the Pentagon, and is followed about by packlettes of groupies
    —because he’s smarter and more talented than they are. And frankly, way more fun to be around.

    “former dj”

    Its sort of like Steyn is Venus Flytrap or Dr Johnny Fever and the leftards are all Les Nessman. The leftards are dropping like sacks of wet cement, and BCL just went through a car windshield.

    Even funnier – the illiterate fools over at laws is cool are sticking with their story. Oh, and mentioning that Steyn is a high school drop-out in every second paragraph.

    “Otherwise his ongoing public foolishness just kind of hangs out there for all to see.”

    I’m confused here Jay. I thought this was the whole point of being a dogmatic left partisan.

    BCL has been quietly revising his post according to Steyn.

    Well he certainly deleted a comment of mine.

    Early on, John Miller pounced on the fact that Steyn is “right-wing” and that the bloggers backing Steyn are likewise “right-wing”. Not extreme right-wing, mind you – not fascist, Nazi, white-supremacist – just conservative. The Prof seemed to regard their right-wingness, by itself, as self-evidently placing Steyn and co beyond the pale of intellectual seriousness, without the need for anything so tedious as actually demonstrating they are incorrect and/or wicked.

    “BCL has been quietly revising”

    He’s turning it into a Broadway Musical so he can get into the 2nd edition of Broadway Babies Say Goodnight.

    “consisted of dating people of a Persian background”

    I’m a little pissed off at the Law is Cool folks. I wanted to comment and it looks like they’ve closed them. I was going to say that as a guy who has a thing for Persian women, I’d appreciate some tips on landing a few dates, and since Steyn has not been forthcoming with his Farsi pickup lines for the Persian babes, I was hoping the Law is Cool Cats could help out a peppy infidel.

    I’m afraid I can’t help you Hannibal…but I am pretty sure that if you do get lucky you can’t eat them.

    “If you do get lucky you can’t eat them.”

    Before I could say Chianti and Flava Beans, you grabbed the punch line.

    Ha! The left always underestimates Mark Steyn and overestimates their own intelligence. It’s magic!

    Hannibal, you may not eat your Persian trophies, but you can sell them—only out of the city, for G-d’s sake, not in it—, unless, of course they have cloven feet. Then, you have to kill them. Don’t make a fetish of it, but check their feet early in the evening.
