And here he just babbles incoherently.  This little anecdote simply illustrates 
Klahn's gross misuse of the words "lie" and
"deception."  He has already 
conceded the actual subject of the thread.

The "source" was Cody Shearer.  In an interview conducted long after the 
events, he said he got phone calls almost immediately after the Chris 
Matthews show.  That is a reporting of a simple, observable, and 
uncontroversial fact.  It proved that Klahn's version of the facts was 
incorrect.

In the same interview, Shearer claimed that Buchanan had threatened to kill 
him.  Neither Klahn nor I have any idea whether that is true, or whether 
Shearer expanded the story after the fact to make the Matthews gaffe look 
bigger.  And I did not say that it did not happen.  However, (1) Shearer did 
not witness any such threat himself, (2) the people who would have been in 
a position to witness it simply said in their sworn statements to the police 
that Buchanan waved a gun and told them to GET AWAY from him, and (3) 
Shearer himself, AT THE TIME, seems to have left out the death threats.  
The New York Times coverage of the incident, for example: "Mr. Shearer told 
the District of Columbia police that an intruder broke into his garage on 
Sunday, slashed his tires, waved a handgun at two house guests and then 
fled in a car parked nearby."  All the news reports are consistent on that, 
including Jake Tapper and Salon who contacted the students, Shearer, and 
Shearer's sister, and the Richmond paper, that got access to the court 
documents including the affidavits of the students.  Death threats would 
have been a much different charge, and wouldn't be some trivial detail that 
EVERY story would simply leave out.

And, yes, that does say "broke into."
