THINKPROGRESS VS. ASSROCKET

Judd did a nice takedown of an AR post that attacked John Murtha and asked us to send e-mails to the AR clones who propagated the nonsense. I sent one to Ian Schwartz and I got a reply.

Here's a snippet of his reply:

And here's my response to this snippet:

Sounds familiar:

Unsurprisingly, Ian didn't respond.
