~>  The only defense I need is, *IT IS CROASMUN'S OWN SOURCE*.

Once again he runs away from the facts.  A little more background to this:
the thread started with Klahn blaming Rush Limbaugh for the incident,
because he said Limbaugh identified Cody Shearer.  He had to be corrected
on that point, too, because the person who had actually broadcast the name
first was Chris Matthews.  The next day it was repeated in newspapers, on
web sites, and on radio talk shows, but they were just reporting what Chris
Matthews had let slip the night before.

Klahn tries to salvage his attack on Limbaugh by saying that Shearer didn't
start getting death threats until six days after the Matthews broadcast. 
But Klahn stupidly ignores the fact that this would mean no death threats
until FIVE days after the LIMBAUGH broadcast, so that would undercut HIS
position as well!

But I corrected him on the facts by showing him that both Cody Shearer
himself and a spokesman for Shearer specifically said that the threats
began within A FEW MINUTES of the Matthews show.  Shearer even described
the sound of the voice of the first caller as well as what the caller said.
 That was my "source" for the timing: Cody Shearer.

Klahn then turns it into a childish game where, if I believe anything that
Shearer has ever said in his life, I have to believe EVERYTHING that
Shearer has ever said.  Klahn HAD to take that position, though, because
that was ALL HE HAD LEFT.  I even drew a clear distinction between
Shearer's ability to factually report on things that he directly WITNESSED
and things that he did NOT witness.  Klahn pretended to not understand, or
maybe he really didn't understand.  Either way, Klahn once again made
himself a laughingstock.
