1. "opting to speak of him in an unpleasant manner."
Tweety called Abramoff "Satan." Is that unpleasant? I thought that was considered pillow-talk with that crowd.

:rofl:

5. Are you responsible for this, Crackpot?
If so, then bravo to you!

It'll be disputed fast enough, though.

12. Keep up the good work!
Loved Tweety turning up his nose at the Abramoff scandal and then when his connectoin was revealed,
this: "On his January 4th program, Matthews made no acknowledgement of any relationship with Mr. Abramoff, opting to speak of him in an unpleasant manner."

He can CYA like the best of 'em.

14. Thx! I have to go to bed...
Edit the page and paste this in above "books"


==Links to Jack Abramoff==

In January 2006, it was alleged that Matthews participated in a suspicious charity fundraiser to benefit the "Capital Athletic Foundation," a primary component of the Jack Abramoff criminal case, for which Abramoff pled guilty on January 3rd, 2006.

On his January 4th program, Matthews made no acknowledgement of any relationship with Mr. Abramoff, opting to speak of him in an unpleasant manner.


Thx!!

16. Ya'll, quit effing around with Wikipedia.
It will never stay, and it just pisses off the editors. Also, some of them DO read DU, and it just gets us a bad reputation.

17. not F ing around...
Edited on Thu Jan-05-06 12:11 AM by CrackpotAmerica
It is important for people to know this.

Is that not what Wikipedia is all about?

It is not an opinion posted on there, it is a developing piece of history. A bad rep is for those who choose to edit out things that are sourced, but do not comply with their opinions.

If I, or the original poster were "F ing around," the blurb would state something slanderous or obscene.

Here is what was originally posted:

==Links to Jack Abramoff==

In January 2006, it was alleged by the <[Daily Kos>], a liberal blog, that Matthews participated in a suspicious charity fundraiser to benefit the "Capital Athletic Foundation," a primary component of the Jack Abramoff criminal case, for which Abramoff plead guilty on January 3rd, 2006.

On his January 4th program, Matthews made no acknowledgment of any relationship with Mr. Abramoff, opting to speak of him in an unpleasant manner.


How is that "F ing around?"

18. If you just keep on putting something back and putting something back,
it's effing around. You're supposed to use the Talk page to discuss and reach consensus with the editors on whether or not it's worth adding. As a matter of fact it's the first issue for discussion on the Talk page:

"Please do not keep reverting this section until a consensus is reached on the talk page. It is Wikipedia policy not to break the three revert rule. Thanks, JHMM13 (T | C) 05:00, 5 January 2006 (UTC)"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Chris_Matthews

It amazes me how many people don't spend five minutes learning how Wikipedia works and then get annoyed when their edits get reverted.

20. I read it, and poof, it was gone..
That is when I re-posted it.

I never posted there before... I suppose I am used to editing here at the DU and at other forums.

I apologized to them... and now I do to you.

:sorry:
