He thinks Rich is a commie pinko homo loving satan worshipper:
The Capitolfaxblog.com is comprehensive and not to be missed…but it is also true that it is an indentured foot-soldier of liberalism and apologist of abortion, gay lifestyle and all it involves. It has superb political connections with the Left and sits at the table with the lefty secular Big Foot journalists including Apassionata van Leftward the everlasting Girl Scout college girl `60s relic, Carol Marin, the one woman oligarchy. You’d imagine a town as big as Chicago would be able to different commentators—even if they have to echo the same liberal gruel. Not here. Marin is with The Chicago Sun-Times, NBC Channel 5 and WTTW-TV the public TV station.
. There is only one sizable independent voice among all of Chicago writers on public affairs print, radio and TV and that is John Kass of the Tribune. For the past few issues, The Capitol Fax has been laying into Kass—highly unprofessional because it accuses him of “making things up.” This of course it does not document. When it says that Kass makes up stuff and has no proof it crosses the line from journalistic competition to a hate-rag reflecting the sources with which it breathes in unison, the Madigans and the Daleys. Its continuing campaign against Kass is a scurrilous hit-and-run job. How did the legend grow that CFB knows more about politics here than anyone else? What stories did it break? None I know of. It’s written in a semi ungrammatical style about which it is impossible to ascertain whether it’s just sloppyness or done purposely for effect.
Capitol Fax is a to-the-death opponent of conservative social issues and so reporting on State Sen. James Meeks it says that if he runs for mayor he will be wounded by adversarial negative research…pointing out that—gasp—he is pro-life and anti-gay rights: two central teachings of Judeo Christian traditional theology…not that Capitol Fax knows or cares about these tenets, it’s main preoccupation being its substitute for absolutes: the well-being of liberalism and the Democratic party. It’s fallen behind in its research however. This country is on the cusp of revolutionary change at the ballot box and CPB continues on the supposition that there will be no change from the vise-like control of its Dem drinking buddies.
Rich, of course, actually specifically pointed out that Kass was tying Tom Dart to Madigan which is not only untrue, but pretty damn funny.
“Sloppyness”? That’s beautiful. To accuse someone of sloppiness and spell it “sloppyness” requires just the sort of rampaging opacity that’s become Roeser’s trademark. Since you read him so I don’t have to, tell me, has he raged that Obama is a “mulatto” lately? Noted the shape of his nose?
