So, still no evidence that Forrest was a "mass murderer". What a surprise.

Two columns cited.

Looks like dear Mr. RO needs some instruction on how newspapers work, too.

He certainly does seem to have large gaps in his education.

Hey, no problem.

Columnists, like Mr. RO, specialize in outrage.   But the difference is that theirs is occupational outrage. They want readers. Excitement is far more important to them than accuracy.

It's interesting that Mr RO's standard of proof seems to be what columnists write.

I wonder if he would feel the same way about a column written by Krauthammer or Rove. Assuming of course he has heard of these gentlemen.

So sorry--some of us insist on higher standards of proof than what any columnist writes--regardless of where he is on the political spectrum.

But perhaps they don't in Mr. RO's circles.

That gives us a big clue on how seriously to take anything he says.
