1. I Dont Know, But Remember This ???

Got to meet them both, many moons ago.

6. William Rivers Pitt - he was nice

Called Obama a piece of shit used car salesman. And apparently he hung out with a pedophile too!
Some nice people you are promoting there….

[JohnSJ]

10. Yup

[obamanut2012]

12. 100%

[hlthe2b]

18. Stop it. WRP had an issue with posting while intoxicated for which he paid dearly, but he did not

"hang out with pedophiles." His book was written with Ritter years before that. WRP was a good writer here and for Truthout and thus when he wanted to write a book on the Bush* Iraqi war, Ritter was (then) a good source. WRP's hyperbolic comment on Obama was abysmal, but it came after a heated back and forth while under the influence. He later apologized.

I've been here since 2001 and this is likewise abysmal. I and many others here "knew" him here for years. Further, his mother (Raven) continues to post here. So, how about deleting your post and tamp down attacks on those you don't even know.

22. Ritter was first arrested in 2001

Stop excusing pedophiles.

[hlthe2b]

24. Stop it. YOu just accused me of excusing pedophile. I was doing nothing of the sort.

My defense was of Pitt, not Ritter. ALERTING!~!!!!

But no. Ritter's behavior was not public until years later. And his arrest was in 2010, not 2001--years after Pitt's book with him was published.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

25. The post is about Ritter

You made it about Pitt.

[hlthe2b]

26. YOU MADE IT ABOUT PITT and falsely tied him to the behavior of RITTER!

Then you accused me of defending pedophilia. I am now contacting EarlG unless you delete your defamatory post towards me!

[tritsofme]

27. He'll delete it in 24 business hours.

31. *snort*

That was the false Rove indictment story, as I recall. Damn, I've been here way too long. lol

[AZSkiffyGeek]

32. I DEMAND YOU TAKE THIS DOWN!!!!

I’m gonna tell dad on you!!!!

[orange jar]

33. Reminds me of this:

[biophile]

7. Same here

Met them at a talk. Didn’t necessarily believe the child pornography thing; it’s so easy to plant stuff like that on a computer, especially if your daddy was head of the CIA. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt but what he’s saying now is crazy. Shame.

[TwilightZone]

9. His convictions weren't for evidence on his computer.

He was caught in a sting operation trying to arrange sex with a minor and for exposing himself via webcam to a police officer pretending to be a 15-year-old girl.

From Wikipedia:

Ritter was arrested again in November 2009[46] over communications with a police decoy he met on an Internet chat site. Police said that he exposed himself, via a web camera, after the officer repeatedly identified himself as a 15-year-old girl.[5]

The next month, Ritter waived his right to a preliminary hearing and was released on $25,000 unsecured bail. Charges included "unlawful contact with a minor, criminal use of a communications facility, corruption of minors, indecent exposure, possessing instruments of crime, criminal attempt and criminal solicitation".[2] Ritter rejected a plea bargain and was found guilty of all but the criminal attempt count in a courtroom in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, on April 14, 2011.[5][47]

[obamanut2012]

16. Wow -- you are literally excusing both sexually assaulting a minor and CSAM on his computer

wtaf

[AZSkiffyGeek]

19. Seinfeld-esque

“So I wrote a book about the Iraq War and yadda yadda yadda the FBI raided my house!”

[orange jar]

23. It's genuinely unbelievable.

"The evidence must be planted!!!1!1!"

"What makes you say that?"

"Because he's someone I agree with!"

[Klarkashton]

8. I remember when Pitt called out a DUer that was dying

Of cancer as being a fraud taking donations for his care. He was wrong and it was ugly.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

11. It's amazing what you can get away with here

If you write a book about the Iraq War being wrong.

[obamanut2012]

17. And called Obama a POS used car salesman

He and his buddies attacked ME when I called him on that, and I was told they hoped I was raped to death because I was a lesbian.

But, write a book and everything is A-OK.

[Klarkashton]

20. He was a verbose egotistical piece of shit.

He was promoting the fund raiser for that sick man and then got paranoid about it and black balled the effort. The man died not long after.

[Sequoia]

30. Those two

Yes, memories.

[bigtree]

2. shopping bag full of money

...lured to a parking lot by a Russian agent posing as an underage girl.

[getagrip_already]

4. Yeah, the fsb equivelent of silver or lead... nt

[magicarpet]

3. Ritter desperately looking for a winning strategy

... to garner media attention to make himself relevent once again ?

Grabbing at straws to capture the media spotlight to access fame and fortune.

[TwilightZone]

5. He's been defending Putin for a while now.

He also said Russia wouldn't invade and after they did, said Ukraine would fall within one week.

He seems to be just another RT sellout.

[Happy Hoosier]

13. A lot of these dudes go full right wing when caught. NT

[Klarkashton]

15. There are a number of weird American guys working for RT

[Crunchy Frog]

14. He's been a Putin loving supporter of genocide in Ukraine

for quite some time. He's also been caught more than once trying to pick up underage girls who were really undercover police officers.

He's been notorious for it.

I've noticed that a lot of people who were right about Iraq are wrong about a whole lot of other things.

[617Blue]

21. Nothing, he was always a piece of shit.

[Raftergirl]

28. He lives in my town. And he is a disgrace,. Oh, and this happened the other day....

[ScratchCat]

29. I think the only reason any westerner is supporting Putin

Comes down to money. All these folks like him and Mike Flynn who have hopped all over the world made numerous connections and likely have all sorts of under the table investments with the energy industry in foreign countries. Remember Flynn trying to set up nuclear reactor deals during the innauguration? Its all about money and international corruption. These people pretend to be Americans when their only loyalty is to the Almighty Dollar.
