I get why people who forgive or share his bigotries find Fisk romantic, but I've never understood where he got his reputation as a particularly well-informed journalist. He cranks out one bit of absurd nonsense after another (Hezbollah doesn't have rockets, the US and Hariri are funding Fatah al-Islam) and has he ever come up with anything noteworthy?

Robert - meet Rosie. Rosie - meet Robert. I believe you two have much in common (i.e.you're both idiots).
There's no bigger conspiracy theory than the one you've been peddling since 2001, Damian.
We - the people who think you are a dishonest retard - are the vast majority. You are the rage, we are the machine. All you've done is establish that you're not very bright, easily led astray by the most hamfisted propaganda, and, when push comes to shove, deceitful. In short, you are a national security hazard, and a loser. Time to fold this piece of shit blog, eh?
Let me rephrase my comment above:
"Robert - meet Rosie. Rosie - meet Robert. Both of you - meet DD. I believe you three have much in common (i.e.you're all idiots).
"DD"
"Dumber than dumb"
"Doped on dope"
"Diddling Dicklicker"
I'm still wondering why anybody cares what Bobbie Boy thinks. The man's an idiot.
Posted at 2007-08-27 09:52:32 [PermaLink]Oh, fiddle, DD. I don't agree with 99% of what gets on here, posts or comments, but the place has got some real substance. It behooves us on the Left to pay attention to what the others are saying, not just to talk to ourselves.
Carry on, Damian! Like you needed this from me. :)
Well, let's just fatten up this troll then.
Double D's, how can Damian be not very bright, easily led astray, yadda yadda yadda, but at the same time be responsible for the biggest conspiracy theory of all?
And he's the rage, you're the machine? Well, which one of you is Zack de la Rocha, then?
You're not making any sense!
Kudoes, Dr. Dawg.
I doubt I've agreed with 5% of what you've written here in the comments, but you've generally been polite and non-rabid.
A far cry from the likes of Robert McClelland, or his spiritual compatriot, DD, here.
"Robert - meet Rosie. Rosie - meet Robert."
Maybe they already have -- and DD is their mutant offspring?
LO:
Shh. You'll wake up Bruce Rheinstein. :)
-but you've generally been polite and non-rabid.-
I guess.... generally... 5% of the time... and if you ignore the name calling and stereotyping. :)
