Well as [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=420009) shows, **tashabot** misrepresents what she had said in regards to Mrs. Clinton, when pressed mentions a “gun”, but once it’s confirmed that she did indeed say that she would have gunned down Hillary Clinton she says she “forgot about that entry” even though she’d already mentioned the gun up-thread, and went to livejournal to edit the reference from the post. In general, I wouldn’t feel this was worth a pitting. General dumbassery abounds in the world enough without it warranting a pitting for each case, but **tashabot** is trying to become A JOURNALIST. I.e. she wants to become someone who fights against people hiding information from the public and making sure that the truth is revealed. You dumbass! No wonder you are only a _wannabe_ journalist. If this is how you feel about the truth, then you _fail_. I fear the day that you’re called upon to present a unbiased and accurate account of anything, let alone something that actually could effect the lives of the general public. Get a fucking clue. ---

You got a point there . Funny how the truth is so far away from the bullshit that lives in peoples mind.Hopefully she will be writing an advice column. ---

Oh, please, allow me to add **Quiddity** who weighs in – with precious little information – to compare the U.S. to Soviet Russia as she piously thanks God to be posting from a “truly free” country like Canada. :rolleyes: She can kiss my semi-free ass. ---

Anyone who makes me think kindly of Homeland Security deserves a pitting. ---

Tasha’s behavior was the sleaziest, most deceptive cry for sympathy since that mother poisoned her kid in _The Sixth Sense._ Too bad that the lurker who pwned her sorry ass has more journalistic integrity than she ever will. ---

[QUOTE= Johnny Hildo] Too bad that the lurker who pwned her sorry ass has more journalistic integrity than she ever will. [/QUOTE] It is sentences like this that sometimes make me think “pwned” will someday be in the OED. Because there is no other word that correctly conveys what happened to **tashabot**. Nice work, **Dildo**. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-tashabot-pitting/403312.md?page=2)
