Steve Kangas Day: Zepperdaemerung

On Januray 14, 2007, Bryan "Zepp" Jamieson posted an article to certain political newsgroups entitled "Rotterdamerueng"(sic). In the main, this "essay" differed very little from Bryan's usual collection of lies, lame invective and canards but it did include the following paragraph which - even with the name misspelling - caught my eye:

"We in the Lying Socialist Weasels (Steve was a member) also learned another important lesson: television media personages were no longer journalists. A week after Steve's death, a smarmy little creature named Tucker Carlson decided to write a story about the emotionally troubled would-be assassin of Richard Scaife. Or so Carlson had decided Steve should be portrayed. Of the hundreds of friends and foes on Usenet Carlson could have asked for information, he chose exactly one: a noisome Usenet denizen, a Free Republic habitue who routinely liked to mine the internet for personal information on liberal posters with an eye to intimidating them. That user, one Kirk Nicklas, posts a celebration of Steve's death each year, just because he enjoys hurting people. That was the only person that Tucker Carlson found to be worth discussing Steve's death with. It taught us that the stuffed shirts on cable news were more interested in promoting diseased propaganda then they were in getting news stories."

I've reprinted the story from Carlson in a separate thread entitled "Stalking Scaife". The article makes no mention of me 'Kurt', 'Kirk' or otherwise. Why did Bryan lie about the article? I've challenged him repeatedly to produce any piece where Carlson claims to have interviewed me. Each challenge is met with silence.
On, the other hand, the following is the one and only article regarding the suicide of Steve Kangas for which I WAS interviewed. I leave it to the reader to decide if I was 'celebrating' Kangas' death as Bryan alleges. What will be obvious is that most of those interviewed for the piece *are* friends of Kangas.
Perhaps "Zepp" is simply miffed that no one from Salon interviewed *him* for the piece. Until he breaks his silence about this subject, we'll never know....
