From The Huffington Post:

WASHINGTON -- Wisconsin U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde (R) says he is sick and tired of reading sad stories about people struggling in the recession. Instead, he wants to see the media focus more on the debt and the larger problems afflicting the country.

In response to: Burr Deming's
Heckle Obama, Rock with Romney, Michigan Lady Parts

John Myste may want to cover his eyes. Jerry actually uses graphs to visually display ... you know ... data points.

- Burr Deming, June 16, 2012

Yes, and The Heathen Republican was able to topple the "facts" to the ground without even working up a sweat.

I have a partial rebuttal to the Heathen Republican's brutal assault, but I really kind of let it go, because I have long wanted to see chartsists defend their positions honestly, which thus far rarely happens.

Generally, chartists do not defend their "facts," even when other chartists clearly have charts that refute them. They do not seek out the refutations (not the obviously flawed ones, but the ones of their peers), nor do they generally respond to them. Heathen made a very unusual exception in this case, and I applaud it. I really am clapping. You are probably a long way off, so you don’t hear it.

Now, Mr. Deming, if you actually believe in the validity of the "data points" provided by Mr. Critter, I challenge you to visit his site and answer The Heathen Republican's attack. You claim that skeptics ignore "the facts," "won't even consider them." You have a real opportunity to show that you are actually interested in the truth and if the charts are flawed, you wish to discover it, even if they are charts that support a liberal stance.

Since you consider the charts to be "data," "truth," "gospel," I suspect you will rush over their post haste and defend the truth.

See you there.
