Conservatives Hit Back On GQ Drew Scene Piece

By Kleinheider Posted on September 12, 2008 at 8:02 am

The conservative blogosphere is none too pleased with a negative profile piece of think tanker Drew Johnson in the Nashville Scene:

Woods’ piece takes a juvenile tone in the very first sentence, “The Tennessee Center for Policy Research bills itself as a nonpartisan, free-market think tank, implying serious public-policy study.” Woods clearly believes TCPR is anything but. Woods ridicules Johnson’s appearance (he dresses nicely and wore braces as an adult), his motivations and intentions (it’s nothing more than “fishing expeditions”) and his work (TCPR is a “cookie cutter outfit” which “harasses” state employees and people like Johnson are simply “masquerading as independent experts on radio talk shows and elsewhere in the media.”) Woods proof for all of this? Why, the Bredesen administration says so!

    Priceless… left out of the story but included on the Scene’s web site is a few examples of how “self-fancied GQ” harassed two young female staffers that the TNDOR. Creeping outside the house of one and looking in her windows.

    Yeah, a partisan nitwit is right. Not necessarily Republican, but a nitwit with an agenda and an ego.

    Woods vs Johnson, hard to decide who has the more over-inflated ego. Neither has a very good track record of telling the truth.

    @thetruth …

    “…left out of the story but included on the Scene’s web site is a few examples of how “self-fancied GQ” harassed two young female staffers that the TNDOR. Creeping outside the house of one and looking in her windows.”

    Those particular revelations were left out of the story because they weren’t in Woods’ piece. You say the information is elsewhere on the site but not where. Given that the accusations you make are of a rather serious nature, perhaps you’d like to back that up or change your name to “thenottruth”.

    Keeping in mind, of course, that making that sort of accusation without proof is also a rather serious thing. For someone who is so upset at creepy behavior, you don’t seem to mind engaging in same.

    What’s it going to be?

    I looked for ‘em, too, BCM. They aren’t on there that I could find.

    @Donna -

    Hrmmm …

    I’m thinking that “thetruth is out there!” might be appropriate. Way, WAY out there …
