This is the latest post in what I
half-jokingly call The Kimberlin Saga®. If you are new to the story, that’s okay! Not
everyone reads my blog. The short
version is that convicted terrorist Brett Kimberlin has been harassing me for
over three years, his worst conduct being when he attempted to frame me for a
crime. I recognize that this might sound
like an incredible claim, but I provide video and documentary evidence of that
fact; in other words, you don’t have to believe my word. You only have to believe your eyes. Indeed, he sued me for saying this and lost
on the issue of truth. And more recently
when his wife came to us claiming that this convicted terrorist had threatened
her harm, we tried to help her leave him, and for that, he sued myself, John
Hoge, Robert Stacy McCain and Ali Akbar for helping his wife and he is suing
Hoge, McCain, Akbar, DB Capital Strategies, Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck,
Patrick “Patterico” Frey, Mandy Nagy, Lee Stranahan, Erick Erickson,
Breitbart.com, the Blaze, Mercury Radio Arts, Red State, the National Bloggers
Club, and others alleging that we are
all in organized crime for reporting factually about the spate of SWATtings
committed against myself, Frey and Erickson.
So, if you are new to the story, go to this page and you’ll be able to catch up on what has
been happening.

So, first,
dear reader, if all these legal comings and goings are confusing to you, let me
suggest you go back to this
post and read what it says. I
provide a pretty good summary of where we are.
So today we
are talking about the appeal of the federal lawsuit where Brett Kimberlin
claims that me and about half the right blogosphere is in either a mafia or a
klu klux klan against him. Brett filed an
informal
brief seeking appeal. As I have
explained before, this is a special process for all pro ses filing in the
Fourth Circuit. First, you do a round of
informal briefing, and then they decide if the case merits the full, formal
briefs. The idea is to save the other
parties money, if the appeal is doomed on its face... like this one, because the Fourth Circuit doesn't have jurisdiction at this point.
So I filed a response
immediately and John Hoge filed his shortly
thereafter. I am honestly not sure how
many more I will see roll in, too, because I think they have pretty much said
it. But tonight we got three more.
So first up,
below the fold, is the informal response for Glenn Beck, the Blaze and Mercury
Arts Radio (basically companies Beck is affiliated with):
