Take-Down? Really?… Media Matters Publishes Jim Hoft Hit Piece
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, September 21, 2010, 9:57 PM
It looks like the Soros-funded Media Matters hired the local local pony-tailed crank to publish a hit piece on me today.
Eric Boehlert was excited to pass the smear around.
Eric Boehlert from Media Matters calls it a takedown.
Sorry, Eric. Your article was garbage.
Van Jones was a takedown.

Even the dumbest right-wing blogger is far more intelligent than any useful idiot on Soros’s payroll.

Now THAT is some funny stuff!

And I don’t mean to imply that Jim is the dumbest or even dumb at all.

I’m with Dan Riehl!

What is dumb is attacking MohamObama’s critics with an iron fist instead of responding with an open hand for policy changes when it is clear voters are in agreement by a wide margin.
Carol-Christian Soldier commented:
Jim-you are doing it RIGHT -
they the THEY are after you…!!!
Right on!!
and-I’ll be checking out Dan Riehl’s site —more often…

This is how it starts. When any conservative in the media makes it big they try to bully them by hurting their pride or making threats. If they work you good enough you’ll end up like Charles Johnson.
This is a good sign! Never give up!
Mark S. commented:
Someone should remind Eric.. if you’re bringing a knife to a gunfight… it ought to be at least be sharper than a butter knife!

Jim’s #1 in my book!
czekmark commented:
Being right is not always being accepted. Jim, you know that what you’re doing is right. What critics think or say doesn’t matter.
jorgen commented:
Good, that means that this site is being seen as serious.
Regarding Media Matters: I am speechless! Those who read that rubbish must have serious psychological problems!
gus commented:
Let me see if I understand.
A stench ridden pony tailed LIBTARD hack cut down a tree in the woods. And nobody was there. NO SOUND.
Second. Why is Jim Hoft on the LIBTARD pony-tail-groovy-post modern Hippy radar screen???
Bingo.
Third. Who is the target audience of the HIPPY PONY TAIL boy???
Fourth. Who cares???
Jim, you are a good blogger, you are an interesting guy, and THEY HATE YOU.
EXXXXXXXXXXXXXCELLENT SMITHERS!!!!!
Mission accomplished Jim.
Libtards throwing FECES at you, like caged monkeys is HILARIOUS. The pony-tail only adds to the mental visual.
katy commented:
Ah the smell of desperation in the morning…
You know when you’ve hit the mark of success when the left have you in their cross hairs.
Congrats Jim..!!
sybilll commented:
Oh no, Jim. That article got 10 comments. You have scorched the earth, never to be recovered, ever, I tell ya, ever. You must cease and desist now.
Just kidding, they are pathetic leeches on our society, and you are a beacon of reason and patriotism. Keep it up, Jim.
gus commented:
Media Matters.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha,
A libtard circle jerk. The funniest part of this thread, is that unless Jim posted and told us about the hit piece.
ONLY LIBTARDS WOULD KNOW ABOUT IT!!!!
gus commented:
Sybill. I wouldn’t waste my time even clicking on MEDIA MATTERS site. It’s about as irrelevant as a Skinhead Thrash Rock Gardening and Home Decor Tips site. It’s useless. These people are freaks, and they are paid by Soros to attempt to INFLUENCE the American public. Only idiots, union members, EDUCRATIC RETARDS and misfits would care.
It’s funny to me. Their grasp of reality is tenuous at best, and their one turgid hard-on.. Barry O’Dimwit has been a great big premature ejaculation.
On the other hand, Jim Hoft must have larger hits on his site every day.
Therein lies the reason for the attack.
The attack is useless. Only the converted LIBTARD CHOIR is being Preached too.

Media Matters receive blood money. Evil blood money.
You’ve got their number, Jim! Well done!
Ayres commented:
If you are worth a “hit piece,” you must be doing something right, like getting under their skin! Good work, Ab.
bert commented:
Wow you have arrived !!
The evil Soros machine has noticed you.
You must be doing something right.
paul commented:
Media (does not) matter is so full of themselves – I used to check the site out to see what advertiser they were boycotting and then go buy it, if I could afford it and needed/wanted it. But with their God, Obama’s fiscal rape of the economy, cannot afford a lot. so, I no longer visit their site-
john commented:
Soros. Save your money for your defense team and your new prison garb. By the way, if you hate capitalism so much, why not just give all your money to Obama and go live in a hut?

Soros insider trading case to be reviewed
By Jane Croft
Published: September 15 2010 22:59 | Last updated: September 15 2010 22:59
George Soros, the international investor and one of the world’s richest men, is to have his 2002 criminal conviction for insider trading reviewed by the European Court of Human Rights.
Mr Soros appealed to Strasbourg after he was convicted by a French court of insider trading in 2002 in relation to his conduct during a takeover battle in 1988 involving one of the country’s biggest banks, Société Générale.
The Elector of Saxony commented:
Is Soros the last living War Criminal of the Holocaust? He was in his teens when he worked for the Nazi’s helping to facilitate genocide. I thought the world decided to hang those people? What happened there? Isn’t pulling the gold out of the mouths of the about-to-be-gassed considered “war-crimey” enough?
Joel Raupe commented:
Must be doing something right to draw the self-referential, abstract and wholly imaginary “fire” from coming from that direction. Keep up the good work.
Dell commented:
Proud to call you my friend, Jim Hoft! And just a reminder:
You know you’re directly over the target when you’re getting the heaviest flak.
I’ve got your six.
Dee commented:
You know you’ve made it big when they come after you personally
!!!
jorgen commented:
I would like to add: Jim, it is not good enough to be blackballed by a fifth rate site that nobody reads. You have to work harder and critizised by someone who matters. Media Matters doesn’t matter.
Ed commented:
Badge of Honor!
Opus #6 commented:
Not fair! MMFA has never tweeted about how dumb I am. I must try harder. Congrats, Jim. This is the big time. Too bad the lefties are too dumb to think up a better attack. Heh!
gus commented:
Jim, I think you ought to change your Political philosophy. Otherwise, the LIBTARDS at MEDIA MATTERS might not come here and join in the fun.
As for the posts commenting on SOROS. We have to recognize that there are NUTS who believe NONSENSE, and live their lives in a rage against TRUTH and REASON.
Michael Moore is a perfect example.
But as for Soros. If those who blindly follow his ideology EVERY KNEW of SOROS…UGLY past. They wouldn’t care.
The PERSONAL CHARACTER of LIBTARD HEROES, isn’t considered.
SOROS is an ugly person. LIBS DON’T KNOW, nor DO/WOULD they care.
IndependentConservative_FL commented:
Too bad your name is been mentioned by subhuman communist bastards. I wouldn’t have mine on the lips of any subhuman. But that’s the price you have to pay for dealing with the excrement of Creation.
Andreas K. commented:
Take-down?
Now I’m really amused. That’s not take-down, that’s a kindergarten level “insult.”
Estragon commented:
Didn’t read it* because I refuse to click through to Media Matters or any other known anti-American site.
But I agree that when these radical losers think they need to attack you, it means you are making progress.
Congratulations, and keep up the great work!
~~~~~~
* I have read a couple pieces by Boehlert in the past and found nothing intelligent. I’d call it sophomoric, but the sophomores don’t deserve the comparison.
Militant Conservative commented:
Congratulations Jim.
Everyone listen up. Jim’s fine work is why we come here. the cherry on top is all that WE TH PEOPLE add to this forum. We’re performing a Sol Alinsky extrordinare on the left when we impugne the left with facts. (and we like it)
Keep up the good work Jim et al. LOL
powder is dry and smoking.
Reader commented:
You’ve nailed Media Matters on so many subjects, but your postings about Kevin Jennings did a lot of damage to them since they defended the evil creep.
Being an agent of Soros is one disgusting thing but they really crossed the line when they stick up for kiddy porn and the man-lovers of children
They stuck for NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) and defended Harry Hays. Even when the under cover FBI agent said if there was a poster-child for kiddie porn it would be of Harry Hays.
Yet, Media Matters swam in the sewer with those sick freaks to try to protect a child molester.
Reader commented:
I also think you can expect much more of this to other blogs, but especially the blogs that dig up the dirt on Obama and his administration.
Since there is a very good chance of a tsunami this election cycle, many of Soros’s attack dogs are losing it. The progressives thought they would control the next 100 years and how they gloated. Now they realize that this is and has been there last chance to surrender America to the U.N. body.
Every dirty trick they tried to discredit –The Tea Party– movement has failed. When they tried to marginalize it – the movement bonded even tighter.
It has been a complete fail in every aspect by the progressives. Everything they have done or attempted to do has been against the majority of the American people.

Standing ovation, Jim! Well done!
Unfortunately, I’m all too aware of MM and it’s puppet master. Had never clicked there until now. Never again.
Well, at least it’s now clear who pays the resident trolls here – AND the ‘brilliant’ commenters there. Lol.
George, can you see my middle finger clearly now?
You and your totalitarian thugs constitute epic fail. I can see you from my front porch. And on November 2nd, you’ll be hearing from all of Us.
Keep up the great work, Jim!
Reaganite Republican commented:
Weak!
If that’s the best they can do, small wonder they usually just stick to cyber attacks and trolling message boards lol
matt commented:
so no one here can argue with the substance of the article. they can just type libtard, whatever that means, and attack george soros.
logical fallacy=Ad hominem
Typical conservative style, lie your ass off and use fallacous logic. Add a few f-bombs and smugly assert your “patriotism”.
Fuzzy commented:
Oh dear, Jim, looks like you’ve hit a nerve. Good. Keep poking away at it. You rock, and they’re over (even if they don’t it yet).

That’s a great compliment, Jim. Guess you’ll have to dust off that filth kinda like Allama Obama did the Hilldebeast during Primary Theft!

Won’t go to media matters. I’m a NRA lifer and I know SOROS from many other sources and interviews. Like the 2 billion gift we gave the brazilian energy corp to drill for oil offshore. Who owns the majority stock in that company?
Soros. Matt your just a whiney lil toad. Facts are pesck thing for liberals to digest. Your going to get an ulcer in November.

Awww, Jim, you’ve been stepping on their toes again.
Somebody sure has their panties in a wad. You are obviously doing something right to merit such a slobbering complaint. Poor babies, I think they can’t handle that #8 thingy!!
matt commented:
@militant conservative
what facts have I ignored? Also, why don’t you refute the facts of the article or my argument instead of attacking me and george soros.

Hoft dumb? Like a fox.
Liberals live in a world of lies. Since they revel in their heritage of liberal lies, their spiritual family is headed by the father of lies. Not only do they lie to the rest of us, they lie to each other. Jim, you should take it as a compliment that you are now in their sights. It only means you are making life too distinctly uncomfortable for them.

e for expert on the beretta 9mm and the M16. Can you refute my argument? Or do you consider snarky remarks debate.
Militant Conservative commented:
P.S. Powder is dry. is a reference to being ready not ready to shoot. Although I do shoot. I’m prepared for many other things that do not involve firearms. Get it?
Like prepared for the oncoming double dip recession/depression with food,water energy, and a plan of escape.
Militant Conservative commented:
I do not debate my lessers.
Right Winger/Conservative commented:
OMG!!!!! I have to say that I absolutely love to come to this site. I read Jim’s articles and read through the comments and I have never left this site with a bad feeling towards the conservative post here, not even the one’s who defend this blog.
I went to Media Matters to see what they were talking about. I couldn’t even get half way through the article this man has written about Jim without seeing all the twist and turns he had made already about Jim’s articles on this blog. It truly sickened me.
Then I scrolled down to read the few comments that are there and wow, it’s clearly apparent when you read those post exactly how divided we are as a nation. Very sad! I will never make that mistake again. If the Democrats want others to listen to what they have to say politically, they need to clean up the language, accusations and name calling.
Keep up the good work Jim, you keep it real and you keep it right. As far as facts not being obtained, all I’ve seen from you are facts, and when reading Ben Dimiero’s article all I saw were words added and twisted which you didn’t say, or didn’t say in the manner that Ben made it sound like, simply to appease his readers toward his view points.

First the liberals attack Boehner and now you… theres a whiff of desperation in the air this morning…

good job!!!!

Congratulations, Gatewaypundit, you have arrived! The old saying, “You can always judge a man by the quality of his enemies,” seems to apply here.

Soros Lampoon commented:
Certainly this Media Matters piece (or the entire “publication” for that matter) must be a parody, as no marginally intelligent individual could possibly believe such fictions could have any meaning other than subtle humor to those reading it with any knowledge of the subject matter.
I had a friend (and far-left theorist known in our circles) comment that the problem with Progressives is that they’re structuralist Marxist hacks attempting to retroactively appropriate post-structural theories to their obsolete system of thought. In fact, not many post-Marxists can stomach the nonsense coming out of global rapist Soros’s “institutes” as their material is as delusional as their master’s. They dabble in mematic, semiotic and hermeneutic manipulation but appropriate it toward the protection of a rigid, church-like structure of Progressive faith. In a nutshell, that’s an approach destined to fail from the outset.
Usually when this effort fails, they regress to the “poo-flinging violently masterbating monkey” mode which their intellectual capacity and emotional maturity resonate to.
Auntie Em commented:
Look at Media Matters trying to ride on Gateway Pundit’s success to gain some sort of misguided relevancy in the blogosphere. How very George Soros of them!!
Perhaps they are in the wrong profession. If I may make a suggestion? A dog groomer would be a great fit: One, they aren’t expected to be smart, so they won’t disappoint anyone. Two, the dogs wouldn’t be able to refute every single talking point, so they would actually win some arguments. Last, but certainly the most important, they can wash and fluff the president properly instead of just blowing smoke up his tail.
Oops….did I just talk about the president like he was a dog? I must be a racist homophobe.

aprilnovember811 commented:
Jim,
I agree with Ginger. Three people Obama had ties to, turned up dead. The last one, was the man who was cooperating with authorities in Barack Obama’s passport breach. He was shot in the head parked in front of a church in Washington, DC. And don’t forget the fire at Sarah Palin’s church, with people inside. That is just what Obama’s cousin Odinga did in Kenya, when he lost the election. They killed people though, huh Barry?

It isn’t so much that commenters can’t or won’t argue the substance of the article; it’s more that the article provides precious little substance.
It’s a typical MMFA hack job: present an inflammatory headline, and back it up with non sequitur, innuendo, appeal to authority, and begging the question. Refuting an argument generally requires the existence of a cogent argument to begin with.
Leatherhelmet commented:
Hi Matt. There is so many factual errors it is hard to even start on the smear piece (actually, it is so poorly written that it is hard to even give it the status of a smear piece).

No your not, 25 years of observation of the real world politic and wisdom of age make me your better son. Society used to understand that the elders contained wisdom the young did not.
As for your shooting skills, great young eyes are wonderfull and can usually outshoot a older man such as I. However the first thing your taught in self defense/ battle tactics is that it is not about shooting son. It’s attitude and forsight. Thinking ability, got you out trained and mind right on this area.
Secondly, I do not have the time for remedial education of indoctrinated/government schooled kids. Live long enough and you may yet educate yourself. I’ll leave you with words of wisdom of my father. (PhD chemistry and an ole farm boy, notice I nor father took offense at the term boy). The true test of intelligence is not learned knowlege but APPLICATION of that which you have learned. This is where liberals trip up on most occasions. Sorry for the typo’s boy, vision is blurry from the lasik. I’ll scope you out later. powder is dry. LOL

Jim, watch your six. Next someone give Soros a big yell out for me, I know now the left truly fears Jim, which only validates my trust for his site, and views. These lefties just seemed driven to reinforce our low opinion of them and their lies.
