i was alerted this morning by my friend chris shipley that the london times had a story yesterday about tookie williams that quotes american blogs responding. they actually took a comment from one of my idiot readers and attributed it to me! and it was the worst comment of all posted.
“Any of you liberal t***s ever think of the murder, drugs and other crap that that gang put into society . . . I hope they really f**k up the execution job so that it lasts a while, slow and painful . . . When you get to the other side and meet God . . . chances are Tookie will meet up with folks like Pol Pot or Adolf Hitler . . . that’s where he belongs”
this is painful and must be illegal. does anyone know how i go about suing a newspaper for libel. if there ever was a clear case this must be it. it's so painful that after all the shit i've taken for defending tookie some idiot journalist named chris ayers actually has the nerve to attribute this horendous qoute to me!
here's the link. pls pls pls let the deputy managing editor, mr chappell, know what you think of his paper's slip shod journalism. i hope they take a lot of heat for this.

I wish I could find a link to comment, to email Mr. Ayers directly or something that would feel like it would be effective. All I could find was a list of emails to email editorial sections, and this is the one for qworld news:
foreign.news@thetimes.co.uk
I emailed them.
