In my previous commentary (TADM #71) I claimed that Dennis Marks (AKA dmarks) lied with the following comment...
| Dennis Marks: Every instance of corrupt crony capitalism, of government serving wealthy corporate elites, that Mr. Sanders is confronted on, he ends up defending. From TARP handouts to banksters to the costly auto bailout (paying them to build factories in China) to gifts to energy scamming companies to help them build stuff in China also. (7/8/2015 AT 1:05pm). |
At first Dennis ignored my assertion that he lied about me defending the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). I posted a link to a comment to prove I did not defend TARP, but the blog host deleted my comment. Why? Damned if I know. My guess was (and still is) that he did it to protect Dennis (from my proof of his lie).
In any case, Dennis did publish a retraction the next day. Although he then said he must have been thinking about another Progressive blogger.
| Dennis Marks: When I listed the multiple examples of welfare to wealthy interests that Mr. Sanders defended, I erroneously included TARP. I was thinking of either Jersey or Ducky in that instant. I admit this error, and was wrong to accuse Mr. Sanders of supporting this one particular handout. (7/9/2015 AT 10:19am). |
| Dennis Marks: ...with WD and others on the left defending the handouts to the rich people running the Solyndra unsistainable eneergy scam, the corporatist auto industry bailout, and TARP (one of Ducky's fav policies), you will find that while support for squandering the tax money forcibly taken from Americans on wealthy corporations is strong from the Right.. .and even stronger on the Left. (7/29/2014 AT 07:20:00 PM EDT. From the blog Rational Nation USA). |
So it was Ducky! Damn him. Or was it?
| Ducky's Here: Now as far as I can tell, we are GIVING money to the capitalist pukes that did boom-boom all over the economy. No? Then what's TARP all about? (4/21/2009 AT 1:24pm). |
Capitalist pukes? Does not sound to me as if Ducky is a TARP fan, or it was ever one of his "fav policies". So, even though Dennis has accused Ducky of being a TARP fan (at least twice), I think the evidence shows he is not.
So, what about Jersey?
| Jersey McJones: ...remember, TARP or any of those other bail-out programs, was not foisted on anyone. They came hat in hand and the congress gave it to them. Government borrowing, the Fed, the military, public pension and insurance, all these big expensive things exist at the bequest of people who want them and the congress gives it to them. It is up to voters to set the priorities – or it is up to congress without them. As long as we bleat around like sycophants, crooked people are going to raid our tax dollars in the name of things we really don't need. (11/16/2014 AT 1:58am). |
TARP money was lobbied for by "crooked people"? These crooked people "raided our tax dollars"? Does this suggest that Jersey is a TARP fan? Again, I say the evidence indicates NO.
By the way, I looked at EVERY comment I could find where either Jersey or Ducky mentioned TARP (by doing a Google search on both their Blogger IDs + TARP). I looked at EVERY ONE and found no comments where either Jersey or Ducky defended TARP.
I therefore stand by the assertion I made with my previous commentary. Dennis Marks is a f*cking liar. That "fav policy" charge levied at Ducky is especially egregious, given the fact that Ducky actually said that the TARP money went to "capitalist pukes" (although this is from a comment thread where Dennis did not participate). It sounds to me that Ducky is STRONGLY against TARP, as opposed to it being a "fav policy" of his.
Jersey's comment about "crooked people raiding our tax dollars" also sounds to me like he is STRONGLY against TARP. But, obviously, Dennis will tell his lies regardless of the facts. Although he may (occasionally) admit he was wrong. But it was a MISTAKE, he sez. No, you got caught this time, Dennis!
Usually nobody calls him on his lies, which is why he does it so often (lies). Most of the time he gets away with lying, and (many times) the host of the blog he is lying on will defend him... as the Constitutional Insurgent (the host of the blog Dennis lied about me defending TARP on) did when he chastised me for linking to a comment on another blog that proved Dennis was being dishonest.
Update 8/1/2015: Dennis deleted every comment he made in the thread that contained the 3rd comment above. Clearly he is attempting to hide the fact that he lied, which I refuse to allow him to get away with. The Google cached page can be viewed here, and a screenshot I grabbed and uploaded can be viewed here.
I have given Dennis a chance to either: walk back his accusations against Jersey and Ducky, OR provide proof that Jersey or Ducky have ever defended TARP. (with a comment directing Dennis to this blog on "Libertas and Latte").
ReplyDeleteDennis is welcome to defend himself here. If he comments on "Libertas and Latte" I will publish his reply here.
Or the blog host might delete my comment (in which case the link provided in this comment will, if clicked, produce an error message).
dmarks response: I won't address external links, as per the blog host's request. (7/9/2015 at 5:37 PM).
Deletedmarks is too afraid to view the proof he was wrong about Jersey and Ducky. That, or he knows he lies and this is his lame attempt at a dodge... if he does not look at the proof it doesn't exist.
As for dmarks' "external links"... I provided none. The blog host did prohibit me from linking here, so I did not. dmarks knows where this site is located, however. I have seen him refer to things written here on the blog of Willis Hart. So that is another lie.
