Hmmm. . .So does Harleigh=Wilkinson or did Thompson make both of them up? I didn't know about Ramirez until I read Post 22--in that case, I vote for all three are made up, LOL. Next question: does Thompson make this stuff up for his own motives or is someone paying him to do it?
When I start to read through some of the articles in question I feel as though I've entered the Twilight Zone, some alternate universe in which "Harleigh" and "Wilkinson" conveniently provide CHB with exactly the quotations needed, usually very inflammatory, to trash the WH and President Bush, et al. This stuff seems a lot like the Stephen Glass garbage for The New Republic - someone with a bent toward a bit of "creative writing" gets carried away with the ease of making up quotations that are truly "too good to be true." I strongly suspect it's all poured forth from Thompson's imagination..... the big problem is that it's not just this one demented website, the stuff has been taken up all over the web by loony leftists so some of these quotations and alleged "facts" will be recycled for years to come. I sure hope they don't make it into any history books!!
They are most probably all made up by Thompson's fertile, delusional brain; or what's left of it. As to the WHYS of why he does it, that's up for grabs.
