Misty Sea


Misty Sea is well known
for posting uncited opinion
as fact in the chatroom.
If you question her source
or the information in the articles that she posts,
she becomes defensive,
however she makes no attempt
to verify the information herself.


The Scoop on Misty Sea:

She is apparently easy to convince, if the opinion of the writer has a similar political belief. She requires no facts and is even not troubled if the facts show that her opinion is mistaken. A woman who has an unshakable faith like this would be a great asset to a propaganda machine like the Republican Party.

She damages her usefulness, however, by posting a picture of Bob Barr and herself that is obviously a fake. When she was confronted about this, she mumbled the excuse that she faked the photo because she had had a bad hair day when she met the congressman. But she really really did meet the congressman.

Perhaps one of the funniest things Misty has done was when she put her husband on line to threaten legal action against the peace and justice center. We told him to have his lawyers contact our lawyers and that was the end of that.

She's had some other interesting moments like when she told us Mike Espy had been convicted:

MistySea~~Give Me One Moment In Time . . . . Line number 5463 . . . . Mon, Nov 22, 12:28PM PST Espy was indicted and pled guilty - was Natchez in Bulgaria when that happened?

[Uh-oh! Compare Misty's Claim to what REALLY happened!]

["Former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy, forced out of office in 1994 by allegations that he improperly took gifts from businesses and lobbyists, was acquitted Wednesday of 30 corruption charges brought against him by an independent counsel whom Espy likened to a ``schoolyard bully.'' Espy pumped his fist in jubilation as the jury forewoman announced the verdicts in U.S. District Court. Thirty times she looked at the verdict form and declared ``not guilty'' as independent counsel Donald Smaltz and his team of lawyers sat in silence.

As the litany continued, Espy turned to his lawyers and whispered, ``I knew it, I knew it.'' Moments later, outside the courthouse, Espy called the acquittal a long-sought vindication. He declared that it was a repudiation of Smaltz, who spent more than four years and $17 million on a wide-ranging investigation, and said Smaltz's case illustrates flaws in the independent counsel law that should be changed. " Espy is acquitted of corruption on all 30 charges." , Minneapolis Star Tribune, 12-03-1998, pp 01A.]

Special thanks to the peace and justic center "Roving Reporter" for this profile on our friend, Misty.
