BinkyBoy Has Escalated From Random Personal Insults...


to libel and false accusations of criminal behavior. After recounting some claims about Minutemen shooting at illegal aliens (which I don't find impossible to believe, except that they would have been on every news show), he blames Bryan Fischer, Rep. Tom Tancredo, and me for this, and includes this amazing claim:
No one will benefit from this escalation. This will only result in more deaths. Good job, right wing xenophobes that peddle in hate speech, others are about to reap from what you have sown.

Maybe for all of this Clayton will threaten me with his guns some more.
Huh? I've never threatened anyone with a gun, much less BinkyBoy. Such a threat is a criminal offense. BinkyBoy needs to either confess that this is entirely in his head, or file a criminal complaint. Then we can see him go to jail for filing a false report.

But he is an Idaho Democrat. Why argue real points, when you can just make up lies?

UPDATE: Another Idaho blogger tells me that he once tried to have a polite conversation by email with BinkyBoy, and the response was to use the b-word and threaten him with violence if they ever met. From this I can draw two likely inferences:

1. BinkyBoy has a serious violence problem, and is projecting his own threats of violence against others onto me.

2. Have you ever heard of a straight man calling another man the b-word?

UPDATE 2: This news account indicates that the videotape that BinkyBoy talks about of the Minutemen shooting an illegal immigrant is a fake:
CAMPO, Calif. -- One Minuteman leader accused a rival Minuteman leader of videotaping the shooting of an illegal immigrant, but sheriff's deputies investigating the report Saturday said the video was fake, as did the maker of the video.

Robert "Little Dog" Crooks, leader of the Campo Minutemen, said he and his friends did shoot the video and sheriff's deputies came out to see what happened, but they know him well.

"Who in their right mind is going to shoot a smuggler, videotape it, then post it to YouTube?" Crooks said.

The video came to the attention of authorities after Jeff Schwilk, founder of the San Diego Minutemen, who Crooks said is his rival, e-mailed another border activist, warning about the Crooks video, according to a local newspaper.

The video, which is shot from the perspective of a gun scope, was probably staged, said Sgt. Mike Radovich of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department Campo station.

The video shows Minutemen targeting an illegal immigrant crossing the border. There's the sound of a gunshot, the immigrant ducks or is shot, and then the video fades out to a grave site, Radovich said.

Crooks gave a similar description of his video. He said he and his friends made the video when the Minutemen were bored discussing President George W. Bush's federal immigration reform bill, which the group calls the Amnesty Bill, and which was eventually turned down by Congress.

"The Amnesty Bill was up in the air, and we said if it goes through it'd bury America," Crooks said. "So we buried America."

The group constructed the fake grave site next to Crooks' trailer, which is near the border fence in Campo, he said. Radovich said he saw the fake grave site during his investigation of the video.

"We're old men and we're bored," Crooks said.
And stupid, too.

UPDATE 3: The more I look into BinkyBoy's obssessions, the more the use of the b-word explains a lot--such as BinkyBoy's freakout about how an Idaho Statesman reporter used a police report.

BinkyBoy needs to move to San Francisco.
