Here's a new stalking horse, brought to you by Fat Karl and friends.
It's almost embarrassing.
Raw Story's lead today (relegated to third lead since I've been working on this) has been about a pro-war 'protestor' by the name of Parrish Stevens: identified by
The Dallas Morning News as "a security contractor in Kuwait." (Registration and/or BugMeNot required) Hmmm. What past experience and connections are required to fill
that particular job position?
You'd think he'd be a bit more careful, inasmuch as he'll be back in Kuwait, shortly. Oh. Wait...
Raw Story leads the article with this:
"Veteran Parrish Stevens, 37..."
Yeah, right. Take a careful look at the picture in the article. There's no way this guy is under 50. Look at the size of his ears relative to his head. Note the loose, jowly neck-flesh on a body that is otherwise, and obviously, quite fit. Check out the size of his knuckles in the light bounce. 37 years old my ass.
And notice how artfully the identifying features of his face are obscured in the article's photo. Straight Spook School 101. A quick Google turns up three other pictures of the man. None of them are helpfully identifiable.
So maybe he is being careful, after all.
His talking points are the latest and the greatest and the newest. All designed to counter and belittle Cindy Sheehan's message. This is the best:
My big thing is - I want to talk to Cindy. I'm not going to get up there and argue with her. [I have] questions about why she's here, what she hopes to accomplish, and about her son.
[Interviewer]Do you expect her to speak with you?
I really hope she does.
Read the article - there's plenty more that makes it obvious this guy is a plant by our buddy, Fat Karl.
Sheesh. I guess I don't mind so much that Fat Karl is getting stupid, as the stress eats away at him. I just wish he didn't think that we're that goddamn dumb.
