Your post is silly. Ari has everything to lose and nothing to gain by lying. Dickerson has nothing to lose and everything to gain by lying. Why is it not Dickerson who "commits perjury"?

We have the markings of a troll here. Someone who has never commented or rated anyone or posted anything before, followed up an uprating from someone "else" of the same profile. Interesting. Maybe Booman is more right than he knows.

That isn't trolling.  He/she disagrees with you.

Could Fleischer be lying?  Yes, of course he could, and I contend he is exceptional at lying.

But the point of Fleischer having much to lose, including freedom, leaves us to ask, 'Why would he?'

All Ari has done is make the calling of David Gregory to appear, all the more likely.

Your answer is a troll's defense - "he/she disagrees with you. That's not trolling."

I disagree with people here all the time and rarely call anyone a troll. But when someone's one and only appearance is to come in and defend a Republican, and to have another person jump in behind them, that's troll behavior.

Does that mean the person IS a troll? Hell if I know. I'm just saying we should judge people by their comments over time, and dismiss the one-shots unless they take the time to make a decent argument, which this poster did not.

So, Lisa, Repubs are not welcome just because they are repubs? While people like you who will not discuss the issues but talk about "trolls" are? You are double silly. AND, on the issues, just see what reactions to Dickerson have been in other progressive forums!

BooMan's diary has been linked at TPM so new folks are bound to show up. Besides, whenwego has a valid point. If the defense can prove that Ari lied he goes directly to jail and does not collect $200.
