to me...

...in reply to The BRAD BLOG's [5] recent series of articles highlighting, among other things, how he lied, along with his accused federal felon [6] employee [7] James O'Keefe, in order to sell their phony ACORN hit videos to gullible media --- and how the New York Times, and so many others, fell for it hook, line, and not-yet-retracted sinker [8]
