…Put The Sunscreen On:
Lie-da Kook is the smarmy type!
Most of the time she says her piece — spittle and mouth foaming, no extra charge — with her name firmly attached, or so she says. But back in February, she purports that she posed a question on a Spokeless-Rebuke blog from the shadows of an online pen name, notsoinnocentgrandstander.
That question, which by Kook’s description was an admittedly “sardonic, feckless query” that she subsequently feigned apology for, quite appropriately made her the target of a lawsuit that outed Kook by court mandate. (Do we really believe she came out on her own???? Naaaaa, she was toast and she knew it…if it was even really her!)
Now that the object of her feckless question, former Kootenai County Republican Central Committee Chair Tina Jacobson, (WHOO HOO! Go Tina!) has supposedly learned the true(ish) identity of her critic, it’s up to Jacobson to decide whether the courts should attempt to provide further remedy.
We hope….in the words of the “Laugh In” gang, that she…SOCKS IT TO HER!
We know the public exposure is not enough to make Jacobson whole from the vile defamation Kook spewed, regardless of whether Tina was criticized as a public official. Even if the criticism was merely hurtful, Justice must be had and the debt must be paid! (Tina is a kind and generous person and she is very well capable of ignoring a little “hurtful banter”). And we hope that this intriguing exploration of First Amendment rights in the Internet age has a chilling effect on those that are too stupid to tell defamation from what our Founding Fathers so vigorously demanded: A firm understanding that for our society to remain truly free, there must be room for unfair and even inaccurate criticism of public officials, without lying and accusing them of being criminals. Kook and her ilk have hopefully taken notice!
We would be remiss if we didn’t weigh in on the merits of Kook’s curious question of Jacobson, which involved money within the local Republican Party group. It was a CROCK! A KOOKY CROCK! But we will say that everyone should take a lesson from this series of unfortunate events.
And the lesson is: Don’t tell lies about people in a public forum and expect to get away with it! You will be accountable! Even though you’ve heard that before, it’s time to hear it again. (Our Kooky question would be…What to you call a person who lies about another person in a comment online? Well…a LIAR…of course!)
In her irritable and always annoying manner, Kook suggested that funds were missing and in the form of a sick and twisted comment pointed her spineless, anonymous finger at Tina Jacobson. We think that had Kook or her gang merely made a valid lawful request, according to the law and Party Rules to see the records, Tina would have, of course, presented them for inspection, all in the good name of accountability. Rather, the Central Committee chair was forced to deal with the childish ranting of committee attendee Mitt Rotter, who demanded, without any courtesy, that his irrelevant questions be answered without regard for the law. Had he shown even a modicum of civility the issue today would be moot.
Rotter is a Rabid Republican and a bloodthirsty hound (not really, he’s a human, not a canine) when it comes to meticulous personal harassment of true conservatives. Among numerous delusions, Rotter thinks he is a professional instigator and we think he is hired (by himself) to dig out the nit pickiest, not nothingist, allegations of fraud, product liability, personal injury, legal malpractice and other areas of suspected misconduct. (We heard a rumor that he is writing editorial comment for a small daily newspaper, somewhere in the bowels of the Pacific North West). We examined the series of annoying emails he sent to central committee sources including Jacobson. Again, you know who’s side we’re on in this dispute about whether or not any money was missing, but we feel confident that key questions about the group’s funds would have been answered had Rotter simply displayed a little civility…not to mention professional behavior. Jacobson simply would have opened the books to anyone who properly requested that information.
Any time a legitimate question is asked of someone responsible for other people’s money, it is most unwise to deny such a request. The refusal raises more questions and heightens suspicion, which undermines the faith all of us need to conduct routine business and maintain respectful relationships.
Sunshine Sun Screen is the ultimate solution. Let it in Put it on and magically, the dark questions disappear don’t need to be answered.
That’s why Liberals love anonymity!
CBO Editorial Staff…
“We’re not anonymous, we’re unattributed!” (Really, there’s a difference…would we lie?)
(Hey C’dA Press…how about some Strategery Sunshine!)
The Moral of this story is: Kook lied…a reputation died…the court weighed in…and let the sunshine again…the Liberals cried…the press helps them hide…gonna be a long and bumpy ride…but truth will turn the tide!
