It seems that our good friend, Steve Dennis, of America’s Watchtower, was linked by Media Matters.  Apparently, they think Steve is pro-militia…

This was an interesting week “behind the scenes” here at America’s Watchtower: First, America’s Watchtower was linked in a post which was cross posted on Noisy Room, Trevor Loudon, and Gulag Bound; this brought in some extra and always welcome traffic. But later in the week, as I was checking out my referrers, I noticed a few hits coming from Media Matters so naturally I had to check it out. Why would America’s Watchtower be linked at Media Matters?

  Imagine my surprise when I learned in this post that America’s Watchtower (not specifically mentioned by name, but right there in the link) was a pro-militia website, because that is not how I would ever characterize this blog. Pro-military? Yes, as one can tell by my sidebar images; two of these images are meant as a tribute to all of those who serve or have served in the military and also those that have given the ultimate sacrifice so that we may remain free, while the other images are of two WWII heroes. Pro-second amendment? Absolutely.

So, Media Matters thinks that Steve is important enough to lie about him.  I only have one response…

CONGRATUFREAKINGLATIONS!!!!

Steve must have hit on something important if Media Matters chose to smear him.  It’s a badge Steve, wear it with pride.

I do, however, think some clarification is needed…

Perhaps Media Matters could benefit from a little fact checking of their own before they make an attempt to mischaracterize the content of another blogger in the future.

Media Matters EXISTS to mischaracterize other sources.  It’s their sole purpose, reason for existence, and why Spooky Dude sends them money.    Since they cannot win with facts, they resort to the smear.  They are a regressive propaganda outfit.  It’s what they do.

Congratulations Steve.  It couldn’t have happened to a better guy.  Keep on reporting stuff, and give them more reasons to “discredit” you.

MattI believe that future generations should have the same opportunities that myself, and those that came before me, had. My parents taught me that I could do anything I wanted to do. I don’t want to have to tell my daughter, “You can do whatever the government tells you to do.” We are at a crossroads in this country; are we going to be free, or are we going to be slaves to the nanny state. I choose freedom.
