Right-Wing Blogger DESTROYS Jezebel and Daily Beast’s Attempt to SMEAR Scott Walker With FALSE Rape Story!
It’s always a good day when a conservative blogger manages to show up professional “journalists,” especially when they’re using their ignorance to try to smear Republicans. This time it was my homie @DrawAndStrike who single-handedly destroyed an attempted smear on Scott Walker.
Here’s how it went down.
A degenerate bottom-feeder at the fetid gutter known as Jezebel first “discovered” that Walker has supposedly tried to expand the power of the Patriarchy (blessed be its name) on college campuses and went crazy:
Scott Walker Wants Colleges to Stop Reporting Sexual Assaults http://t.co/WhzjapF1WG // Big deal here.

There’s only one problem with the story – it’s not true. The sexual assault reporting requirement was redundant, that’s why it was cut, as explained by @DrawAndStrike here:
@thedailybeast @Olivianuzzi What Jezebel left out of that hit piece you linked to: http://t.co/eQLY6gFGpd

The proposal to delete the annual reports to the state Department of Justice is among dozens of requirements that would be removed as part of Walker’s plan to decouple the university from most state laws and state oversight. Though the budget proposal came out earlier this month, the sex assault request was explained in a summary released Thursday by the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau.
UW System spokesman Alex Hummel said Friday that the university requested the change because information given to the state is duplicative of data required to be reported to the U.S. Department of Education under federal law. The university also posts the information on its website.
But that didn’t keep another dumb ass from the Daily Beast to propagate the false story:
I just turned around a story for @thedailybeast in three hours so that's pretty cool. I'll post a link when it's live.

This Daily Beast moron was proud of drawing up some story against Scott Walker in just three hours! It’s really easy when you’re writing up lies!

Insanely, but not surprisingly, neither have corrected their false stories, and the author of the Jezebel piece seems to enjoy wallowing in the stench of his own mendacity:
Also, I'm not gonna apologize for reporting what was in the budget. Because that was in the budget. Ask your gov. to apologize for bad optix

There was ONE MSNBC contributor who was honest enough to admit that the story was wrong, and she deleted her tweets over it:
It turns out the Wisc rape-reporting rule deletion came at request of the U. I should have done my research. https://t.co/96s9HUY8aa

That’s how you do it! Go ahead and tell @DrawAndStrike what a great job he did and smack around some of those idiots who won’t correct their false stories.
UPDATE!
It looks like Natasha was made to apologize by her superiors.
(1) I realize now that it would have been worth a follow up phone call to Walker's office.
— Natasha VC (@natashavc) February 28, 2015
(2) So, you guys, Walker folk and media pundits alike, I screwed up.
— Natasha VC (@natashavc) February 28, 2015
(3) I know I said I wasn't going to say sorry but I hope you won't fault me for changing my mind.

Feel free to LOL at her on Twitter.
