John "Mary Rosh" Lott Accuses US Soldiers of Murder
How pathological is the gun industry's favorite pseudoscientst?

Earlier this year, the demented dimwit was busily tryinng to "prove" that Iraq was a haven of safety ofor its citizens because pretty much everyone had a gun (even though that was no hindrance at all to Saddam seizing power and behaving like a brutal dictator).

In the course of his idiotic labors, he has accused the US Army of murdering children..

"Because he wants to discount the huge number of violent deaths in Baghdad, Lott is actually arguing that US soldiers gunned down an eight year-old girl and the military lied about it. Now clearly the American Enterprise Institute has no objection to Lott’s lying and fabricated research, but this is something that might get him into trouble.

This whole episode gives us more insight into Lott’s pathology. In the survey affair, all he had to do was admit to making a mistake in citing the wrong brandishing number, but rather than admit to the error he invented a survey; and then had to actually conduct a survey to try to bolster his story and then had to fabricate the results of the real survey to make them agree with the invented survey. Here, rather than admit to making a mistake about the Baghdad murder rate (if you you’ve forgotten what this was originally about, Lott claimed that all the guns the Iraqis had were making them safer), Lott has now effectively accused the US army of gunning down an eight year-old Iraqi girl. He’s pathological. "

4. Jeeze, it isn't every day
that you post a story that self-destructs like this one...

From the actual Mr. Smith:

"Note that Mr. Ackerman discovered that my posting address indicated that I am from Michigan, as I have stated. He even admits that gave credence to my story." Did that appear in the Emory newspaper article then? No. Why let the facts get in the way of a good story? "

Edited on Wed Nov-26-03 10:48 AM by Romulus
is to be obsessed with what some right-wing guy is saying about the war in Iraq, and posting your thoughts on your interpretation of what he's saying in the hopes of scoring brownie points by pointing out what a wacko he is - while people at DU are saying essentially the same exact thing about the war.

8. Guess you missed the main point...
The DUers are talking about an ACTUAL incident being reported by the AP and other sources..

Mary Rosh FABRICATED his idiotic charges to back up his gun fetish theory.
