Listening To Yourself Talk
YouTube is full of people that think it is cool to see and hear themselves on the internet. David Parkman, whoever that is, must be one of those people. He has his own YouTube channel and his episodes tend to pull in less viewers than this blog has daily readers – by an order of magnitude. But he has his own logo and everything?!
Here is his latest installment, notable only because he repeats the shoddy journalism, to say the least, of Gawker. Now, if that is not enough, in the guise of an original presentation, he virtually reads the story word for word. Somewhere he missed the incomplete and very defensive corrections Gawker made. (check the story) He claims to have done “original research,” yet he could not even be bothered with original copy and clearly did not bother to read this blog.
You know, we probably just tripled this guy’s views – and that is not a good thing. But this story line is so ill-informed, so ugly and so distasteful that we have no choice.
Mr. Parkman, if you are going to pass on left-wing anti-religious garbage, it’s a free country – but please – when you claim to have “looked into it more” – actually do so.

John I can appreciate your concern about this kid’s uninformed misunderstanding of the ordinance but he isn’t any less informed than most of the general public. I didn’t watch the entire clip but the first 20 seconds or so didn’t raise my ire any more than comments by the majority of other uninformed folks who feel compelled to comment on something they know nothing about. Like you said, he enjoys watching himself on the tube. It isn’t a sin to not know. The sin lies in deliberatley not knowing, knowing you don’t know and then telling others you do.

JLF – this kid got nothing – I am trying to illustrate to the Gawker author and others that published ignorance gets passed around even with correction. The kind is just a parrot.

Gotcha. Well said.
