Followup: Father of student demanding to debate Michele Bachmann is a HuffPo stooge

I guess I'm one of those Right Wing h8trs who "threatened" poor little Amy Myers. Well, that is if by "threatened" you mean, "pointed out how ridiculously presumptuous her challenge to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann really was." Judging from the comments my post garnered at Right Wing News you'd think I was some kind of playground bully, stealing lunch money from innocent teenagers. Even though, of course, I did nothing of the sort.

Indeed, Amy Myers is now playing the victim card, claiming she fears for her "personal safety."

"A lot of them are calling me a whore," 16-year-old Amy Myers said, referring to anonymous comments reacting to online news reports about her challenge to the 55-year-old Minnesota congresswoman.

"Whore?" No. Attention Whore? Hell yeah!

Her father is now in on the act, saying "commenters" have threatened to publish their address, or commit violence or rape.

Scratcher, from Makes My Brain Itch, eloquently responds:

I call bullshit.

Where's the proof? Surely a tech-savvy, 16-year-old Constitutional Scholar, has proof of such serious allegations?

Uh, no.

The father also claims to have his mail carrier and a neighbor who works for the state police watching for "suspicious activity." But the Cherry Hill Police Department denies there is a stalker, nor has anyone from the Myers household reported any threats to them.

But here's where it gets interesting. Digging in to Wayne Myers' online activities @breitbartfan77 on Twitter discovered he is a bonafide Huffington Post nutjob with the handle of studmoose. He's a huge anti-Tea-Party agitator, garnering the "Superuser" badge from Arianna herself.

Hmmmm.

And, he's more than a little bit paranoid, too. At the last minute Mr. Myers backed out of a video interview he'd scheduled for Amy with the Courier Post:

Translation: This is dad's stunt, and little Amy would come off like a deer in the headlights if she has to speak for herself on camera.

What we have here is an unhinged liberal activist preaching to the choir. They expect Tea Partyers to be misogynistic haters because that is the stereotype they've created. But in reality I would stake my reputation on any actual threats being quickly and vehemently shouted down by folks from the Right. That's how we roll. We debate ideas, not personalities.

Like Scratcher said, it's all Bullshit. There is no proof.

@amyteamamy on twitter
"@breitbartfan77 Check Sean Hannity's website along with the Yahoo! articles. People are blinded by their disdain for me."

He did check. and found nothing, zilch, nada.

I've checked-and encourage you to double check
no death threats, no threats to publish addresses, no threats of rape.

Amy Myers, your fifteen minutes are up. You've accomplished what you obviously set out to do, get your name out there in front of the admissions officers for Bard College and The New School. Congratulations on differentiating yourself from The Hive while maintaining full solidarity with The Collective.

Arianna Huffington is just bursting with pride.

UPDATE 22 May 2011 14:39:
Note: I updated the headline to more accurately reflect that it's Amy's father who's on Arianna's (virtual) payroll.

UPDATE 23 May 2011 10:10:
According to the Libtard Twitterverse I'm "smearing" and "attacking" Amy Myers.

How?, Is pointing out that Wayne Myers is a total nutjob who's using his daughter to score points against Michele Bachmann an "attack" on anyone other than Wayne Myers? Yeah, I know libtards don't do logic. Apparently they don't do reading comprehension either.

BTW, thanks for the hits kids. Rule 4 Rocks!

They don't need me to make Amy Myers look foolish; her father is doing a fine job of that all by himself.
