Wow, Charles Jaco is a REAL dirtbag journalist

The old video shows him in a sand turtle and talking about the Iraq war made the rounds from Youtube; I pointed it out back in April; Bill has made mention of it as well; Jamie Allman made a joke about it (it was him who found it), and even Pat Buchanan wrote about it:



Video at the link.

Ooooh, and Jaco is MAD, downright LIVID!
Etc, Etc., threaten, bluster.
Wow, in addition to being thin-skinned, Jaco apparently has no clue about protected speech and fair use. We have Climategate going on and a deficit on the run but Jaco would rather waste money making a mockery of himself across the Internet. It does make for interesting speculation as to whose cases would be more successful: the men and women activists who were smeared by Jaco or a reporter known for smearing people on air who ironically takes liberty with others asking questions or making observations about a video in which he’s admitted to participating.

The old adage was "Don't fight with people who buy ink by the barrel". Nowadays we don't have to buy ink to respond to stuff like this, which makes it an even worse idea.

It used to be that only a very select few of the more elite members of society really knew what was going on 'behind the scenes' on virtually any topic.   Now thanks to the algore's Internet we all get to see behind the curtain.   And it ain't pretty.
