Schadenfreude Alert! Looks like Gary Kreep's "defendglenn.com" just might have met its end!

[johnfunk]

Just over a week ago, I asked if anyone had noticed that "DefendGlenn.com" has issued a huge RETRACTION on their home page:

The language of the back-off suggested to me that Color of Change had either filed a civil complaint against defendglenn.com, or had threatened to do so. In any case, I was pretty sure that Van Jones was laughing his ass off at the anonymous liars behind the site Gary Kreep (yes, that's his real, Dickens-worthy name), described by James Rucker in a Huffington Post blog post as a "professional fear-monger… who is a prominent leader in the 'birther' movement and has a long history of working for the lunatic fringe of the right-wing."

Yesterday, Crooks and Liars picked up the story:

ColorofChange threatened to sue the defamatory website that was started to defend "phony tears" Glenn Beck because they used false information supplied by extremist sites like NewsMax. DefendGlenn was forced to post an apology on their website stating that they used patently false information -- lies, basically, to attack their opponents.

Well, I just went over to Kreep's pet home page to gloat a little more, and lookie what came up:



<schadenfreude> Hmmm... someone not keeping up on his bandwidth bills? Or could this be the blow that puts the end in defendglenn.com?

2. Here's the text of the Retraction:

Since it was a bit hard to read in the screen cap.

DefendGlenn.com on several occasions inaccurately reported that Color of Change called President Bush a "racist". We have confirmed that Color of Change did not, in fact, call George Bush a "racist" on its website and although we picked up that allegation from another website (NewsMax.com), that allegation is false and we apologize to Color of Change for this error.

We also accused Color of Change of lying regarding it's claims that certain advertisers agreed to stop advertising on Glenn Beck. While our previous comments were partially correct on the matter concerning the claims of Color of Change regarding the initial 20 advertisers, upon review, it appears that the accusation of lying was inaccurate. In at least one instance, DefendGlenn.com and Color of Change were given diametrically opposing statements by the same advertiser, and, in other instances, the statements given by the advertisers were consistent, but open to interpretation. It is now our understanding that Color of Change accurately reported on it's web site and in its press releases precisely what each of the advertisers told it. DefendGlenn.com also accurately reported on its website precisely what each advertiser told it. We apologize to Color of Change for erroneously accusing them of lying and have removed all such allegations from our website.

We have also alleged that Kayne West claimed that George Bush 'gave troops permission to go down (to New Orleans) and shoot us (black people) after Hurricane Katrina' and that Color of Change endorsed that hateful statement by selling T shirts that said "Kanye Was Right". We have since learned that Mr. West was apparently referring to Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco's authorization for troops to fire on the people of New Orleans during Katrina and not President Bush never gave such an order. A representative of Color of Change has informed us that the t shirts they are selling refer instead to Kanye West's much more widely publicized comment that George Bush "doesn't care about black people." We accept their representation in this regard and apologize for any misunderstanding that this has caused.

6. Good grief. Someone actually keeps a website based on defending Glenn Beck?

I sure hope the webmaster is a close friend relative, or business associate.

Otherwise, I feel sorry for that person. I can only imagine that he not only has a marginal IQ hovering around 90, he's also willfully ignorant.
