Harsanyi's Public Meltdown: Columnist Resorts to Pretending Republicans Aren't Republicans

Denver Post conservative columnist David Harsanyi is very clearly and very publicly having a severe meltdown. It's pretty hilarious. After having his anti-worker column this week torn to pieces, he first claimed that those who are opposed to the war are rooting for more American casualties in Iraq, and that I am hoping for a Great Depression. Now, he's resorted to the hysterical claim that Aurora City Councilman Ryan Frazier (R) is not a Republican, libelously claiming that I "made it up." No, I'm dead serious - he's actually claiming that I "made up" Ryan Frazier's Republican affiliation even though Frazier was a member of the Republican Leadership Program Graduate Class of 2002 and is a prominent member of the Colorado Black Republican Forum (CBRF).

I must say - watching a person meltdown like this in the face of cold, hard facts is rather hilarious. I mean, I know I'm relatively new to Colorado - but I've been in the politics and writing business for a while, and I really have never seen anyone - a conservative or a liberal - just fall to pieces in public temper tantrums everytime someone brings up the facts. It's really great comedy.

UPDATE: Rather than issuing a correction, Harsanyi actually reiterates that Aurora City Councilman Ryan Frazier, registered Republican, prominent member of the Colorado Black Republican Forum, and member of the Republican Leadership Program Graduate Class of 2002, is not a Republican. The depths of the pathological lying really know no bounds.
