WARNING -- WARNING ! ! ! BARBARA BURKE HAS SPIT THE BIT AND IS OFF AND RUNNING --- AGAIN
Barbara Burke once known in these parts as the "Church Lady" or "Dorothy" or "Tootsie" or "Dorthy" says that she is no longer content impersonating me and libeling my main contributor on her impersonating knockoff Twitter site, "Galewyn For Hillary @ Gale4Hillary"
Obviously unglued by being repeatedly confronted with her own checkered past in front of her Hillary-tista friends of the HRC Super Vols, Ms. Burke had a massive melt-down of ill-considered Fourth of July Tweets against me and poor old JPM; and, guess what, she renewed her blockade against genuine Galewyn Massey ripostes on her knock off site.
Sad to say, it now seems that to Barbara Burke, the mere libelous material, which she was comfortable spewing forth into the Twitter-verse without any thought or due diligence is no longer enough of a "fix" to assuage her OC impulses. Now, she says she is going to be running her own blog.
So far, I haven't been able to locate Burke's new blog using the bread-crumb trail left by Little-Red-Riding-Burke.... If anybody sees the new blog, please drop a link --- so we can all comment there and wish our former BSI contributor, Barbara Burke, well.
BACKFILL: THE "THERE'S ALWAYS PEOPLE WHO DON'T GET THE WORD" EDITION
ReplyDeleteBASED ON A COUPLE OF PHONE CALLS TO Y/K/W, I GUESS THERE ARE A FEW OF YOU OUT THERE THAT REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE POST ABOVE IS >>> ALL <<< ABOUT
HERE'S A QUICK THUMBNAIL DESCRIPTION OF THOSE THINGS:
Barbara Burke was a BSI (Baker Street Irregular) contributor to this blog, both as an anonymous commenter, and as an undisclosed source on certain matters. The first contact with BB was made by E-mail on 7-10-14; and it concerned research on a blog post about former DA Hynes and one of his top supporters.... Except for one phone call on 7-11-14, all of my communications with Ms. Burke have been by E-mail.
The reason for having only E-mail communications with Ms. Burke was that: on or about 7-12-14, I was warned by a former close associate of Ms. Burke's on certain matters that dealing with her might be "dangerous" for several reasons: a)she is an unreliable witness or informant on a variety of matters; b) she also pursues her own personal agenda, and, as her agenda changes, so will her story; and c) if personal experience by Ms. Burke's former associate was any guide, I should expect that eventually Barbara Burke would turn on me completely.
After many ups and downs, usually about my editorial decisions concerning problematic material that Burke provided as leads for stories on my blog, things worsened when Ms. Burke became a Hillary Clinton operative active in something called "The HRC Super Volunteers." Suddenly, there was a huge upsurge in hits on Galewyn Massey site, along with an equivalent upsurge in anonymous comments talking-up Hillary Clinton and her campaign events and activities. When I removed the pure pro-Clinton propaganda, Burke complained in her comments on the blog --- I quickly removed those comments as well. As far as I was concerned, none of it belonged on a Republican blog.
In response, Burke made variety of threats if my blog was not reopened for her comments. Shortly thereafter, the "Galewyn For Hillary @Gale4Hillary" Twitter site appeared using as an avatar a photograph of someone very well known to those close to this Galewyn Massey blog, "The Brooklyn Independent GOP Fountainhead."
At the "Galewyn For Hillary @Gale4Hillary" Twitter site, I would Tweet covering these main topics: a) the sight was a knock off site impersonating the real Galewyn Massey; and b) by various manners or means "setting the record straight" as to several of the pro-Hillary Tweets and general anti-Hillary pushback.
Things went from bad to worse; and it all reached a sort of head last week. That pretty much covers it.
UPDATE: THE "RUNNING AND HIDING AND DENYING" EDITION
ReplyDeleteLOOKS LIKE BB HAS A TIGER BY THE TALE AND DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO LET GO
The @Gale4Hillary Twitter site has gone into a deeper hole to prevent me from seeing what Barbara Burke is up to over there. --- You see, Babs was getting too many very relevant rejoinders from me lately on her site, so it seemed to flip her out even more than before. But this will probably limit who sees BB's Tweets, so it's all to the good. btw, this is all from "Ms. First Amendment" free and intellectual debate blah, blah, blah, blah....
Meanwhile, on another Twitter site, Cathleen ni Houlihan @Yeatsmuse (I kid you not -- this is a serious social pathology going around that needs to be studied), all manner of pro-Burke flak is spewing forth. If it hain't Burke herself, it's some inbred Celtic quarter-wit doing her bidding. The one Yeatsmuse-ism I liked the best was a suggestion that all of this is might befrom some Republican enemies in my past. I'm sure its's all the pro-Hillary Clinton stuff that was supposed to give them away.
All of this is what passes for logical thought among the HRC Super Volunteers, I guess.
