Another Lefty Melts Down

Ok I had to go back and rewrite this post as it was becoming entirely too confusing.

Let's start with the actors in this too insane to be fiction mystery. Moonbat Jason Leopold from Truthout.org who still to this day insists Karl Rove is under super double top secret indictment. Ex CIA Agent Larry Johnson, self described centrist blogger Seixon, Some commenter named AnonymousArmy, another commenter named topsecretk9, some secret club called VIPS (Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity) the Department of Defense, The Defense Intelligence Agency, lefty blogger Alexandrovna, shadowy Diebold executives and black box voting conspiracy theories, Valerie Plame, Joe Wilson and enough sock puppets to make Glenn Greenwald's head explode.

Follow me?

Nevermind just run with it. Our hero Seixon was just minding his own business one day when some moonbat posted his personal information at ThinkProgress. Seixon justifiably upset put on his Sherlock Holmes hat and went snooping. This is where it gets really crazy. Leopold or one of his cronies had posted Seixon's personal info at Thinkprogress. Seixon deduced this and confronted Leopold via email offering him the opportunity to explain himself.

Leopold responded by republishing the email from Seixon at ThinkProgress but chose to extensively edit the original email to make it appear Seixon had threatened him.

The following text in red was fabricated by Leopold. The following text in blue was edited out of Seixon's original email the black text is the only original content from Seixon:

I will make lies about you. I can do it. I have my own blog. Tell me all you know about Larry Johnson or me and anonymousarmy will hurt your reputation even more. We’ve already succeeded planting phony stories about you and we will continue to do it until you tell us everything about VIPS and who they are working with.

I now have you on the record lying. You sent anonymousarmy threatening or intimidating emails:

May 8 - from Boston

June 12 - from your ADSL near Irvine

June 19 - a couple emails sent from the Vance Hotel in Seattle

ahhh thats a lot of creative licence wouldn't you say?

Leopold doesn't stop there. He extensively edits another email from Seixon:

Blackmail? You’re damn right it’s blackmail. Johnson must be stopped and you’re the target. I will take you down and I will have the National Review back me up.

Jason, normally I would have just published what I have without even asking you to comment. This time I thought I would ask you to comment on this stuff, since this clown Dean went harassing me and my family, so I'm pretty pissed about it. Now, the reason for all this is basically all your fault because you just can't tell the damn truth.

As I said, I don't appreciate when people lie to me.

Now I have only given you a glimmer of Leopolds fabrications or the web of intrigue surrounding this. To be honest the whole damn thing confuses me. You are going to have to go to Seixons blog and read the whole thing. Here is the first post, and here is the second.

There is a whole series of comments at Thinkprogress by someone calling themselves DOJ. There is another series of comments at Seixon's blog by several sock puppets who Seixon has identified as Leopold.

Honestly the only thing I can conclude after reading all the comments is that Leopold is certifiably insane. Take this comment for example. Note that Seixon busts him and adds his own comments:

Seixon, I can tell you my friend you are sitting on a gold mine of defamation and slander suits. I am well acquainted with the law profession and would be willing to help point you in the right direction. But many of the conservative bloggers are lawyers in their own right and would probably provide guidance as well. You have clear evidence of people doctoring your emails in order to defame your reputation. Think Progress and others who promulgated these lies will pay a dear price for allowing their sites to become part of a conspiracy to attack you with made up lies and half truths.

All conservative Bloggers should be pointing to these acts to demonstrate that gutter tactics used by the leftwing in this country. Richard Nixon may have been dirty, but he never stooped to publishing lies about what people wrote in their own name. Get the word out on this clearly criminal act. Let America see what the left as sunken to.

How about any blogger with any decency left or right?

It is time Leopold is held to account. If Seixon decides to sue I will gladly contribute to his legal fund.

If you are interested in the series of comments left at Thinkprogress by someone calling themselves DOJ I have them listed below. I have also included a few comments from other Thinkprogress commenters who don't believe DOJ's claims.

#36…. I know Sexion is an idiot, but is he THAT much of an idiot that he would email someone something like that? Why would he supply proof in writing that he is blackmailing someone? I really doubt the authenticity of that email.

what is your email address? I have six emails he sent out. Read his blog today and judge for yourself.

Comment by DOJ — July 24, 2006 @ 2:55 pm I keep finding more and more:

This was Leopold’s response to George Gooding, aka SEIXON. He has in fact contacted an attorney. Don’t blame him. George Gooding is dangerous. But that hasn’t stopped the National Review from printing his shit verbatim.

Subject: RE: Alright…

You sent me an email blackmailing me. It is YOU who chose to handle it that

way. You came at me from a confrontational place and have basically said

that if I don’t tell you what you want to hear you will defame me. That is a

crime, George.

At this point, I consider everything you have written to me to be a serious threat—one that constitutes a criminal matter. I am taking it seriously and I am going to file a restraining order against you and your hosting company. You’ve pushed the envelope and this time there will be consequences. I imagine this proof you speak of will come in handy for you in a court of law. Until then, do not email me.

Comment by DOJ — July 24, 2006 @ 3:00 pm I’ve observed Seixon’s posts here and read some of his blog. While I don’t agree with much of what he says, I really don’t believe the above email is something consistent with things he’s said.

Finally, this is not the proper forum for such nonsense.

Comment by DrSinker — July 24, 2006 @ 3:08 pm And I believe SEIXON is capable of just about anything. Over time, I have learned to skip his comments, as they are simply chock full of violent bullshit.

Comment by Solitaire — July 24, 2006 @ 3:09 pm Well this Seixon just managed to get the NAtional Review to print lies about Jason Leopold today and his emails back it up. This is a sick person and he should be banned from this site. he and his army have been attacking Larry Johnson for a long time.

Comment by DOJ — July 24, 2006 @ 3:10 pm This is how the right wing works. They are a cult

Comment by DOJ — July 24, 2006 @ 3:12 pm DOJ,

Wow, now that is funny. Come on Jason, are you that petty that you’ll go rewriting emails I sent to you? You come to Think Progress and print emails that are not what I wrote you? Wow. You’ve gone off the deep end buddy.
