Commentary Milt Shook Is A Documented Moron

By Matt Casey The Public Record Feb 29th, 2012
"Blogger" Milt Shook These links demonstrate that Milt Shook has been an idiotand, as TPR editor-at-large and co-founder Jason Leopold noted on Twitter Tuesday during an exchange with Shookhas lacked reading comprehension skills for quite some time. He attempts to speak as an expert on a wide-range of subjects, many of which he clearly knows nothing about as demonstrated by the idiotic screed on his blog about a report Leopold wrote about a lawsuit that Milt Shook complained was too long and biased or something like that. In any case, it was long-winded. Milt Shook spends most of his time attacking journalists, like Glenn Greenwald and Keith Olbermann, and the rest of his time defending the Obama administration from the tiniest of criticisms. That Milt Shook runs a blog called PleaseCutTheCrap while disseminating so much, well, crap, is the epitome of irony. He mainly uses his blog to showcase his idiocy. The evidence of Milt Shooks dumbfuckery speaks for itself. The headlines to these posts (which you should click on) about Milt Shook says all you need to know about this fraud. UPDATE: Milt Shooks analysis on National Defense Authorization Act is Jonah Goldberg level stupid. This was published on the blog Balloon Juice and is a nice example of Milt Shooks sloppiness as a blogger and how his analysis is wrong and dangerous for the public to listen to. The Stupidest Poster On USENET, milt.shook, Is A Documented Moron <LOL> Milt Shook, Usenet village idiot claims we can make electricity from simply air How stupid is Milt Shook today? example #1

Example #2 Example #3 Worst legal analyst in American history: milt shook Milt Shook, too dumb to understand simple legal issues Milt Shook Desperately Denying That He Said What He Said.. Milt Shook continues to support his sock puppet claims. the no talent loon, Milt Shook, has left the Usenet group The word on the street is that Milt is now engaged in a desperate attempt to find and weed out the folks on the chatroom circuit who are laughing about his loony behavior in usenet. Poor Milt thought he could keep his ignorant statements from popping up on the rest of the internet. Who is this Milt Shook person? From what I gather is that hes a paralegal aspiring to be a political pundit. One whose schtick is to bash the left endlessly on obscure forums. Why is he worth considering, especially considering the fact that I can read the same sort of crap here on DU everyday He is insulting, and apparently clueless, and simply not worth listening to. Re: # Milt Shook is up the First Amendment creek without a paddle again This one is priceless given his attack on Leopolds report about a lawsuit filed against the CIA last week about: Milt Shook continues to advertise his ignorance of the law. will he never learn? Milt Shook, internet moron and posuer, invents a law No matter how many times I point out that every one of his cases supports MY argument and undermines HIS, he still doesnt see it Milt Shook claiming that Bush could pardon OJ Simpson Milt Shooks greatest hits! Bush can pardon ANYONE for ANYTHING. The purpose of the pardon power in the first place was so that the president would have the power to right a judicial wrong, even at the state level. Since probably at least 90% or more of crime is prosecuted at the state level, it wouldnt make sense to only give him the power to pardon federal crimes. Milt Shook claiming that Bush could pardon OJ Simpson. http://groups.google.com/group/alt.society.liberalism/msg/4f4fe748216d1e2e?hl=en In fact, being married actually CUTS Social Security benefits for both. Milt Shook disagreeing with the social security people http://groups.google.com/group/alt.society.liberalism/msg/e76631f45f458651?hl=en It doesnt matter if its state property or not; the state doesnt have to power to limit access to a public area. They can charge to access it, but they cant force people to have a state ID card or something. Its right in the 14th Amendment; if you allow one person to get in for free, then all people have to be allowed in for free, if its public property. Milt Shook.. more ignorance of the law http://groups.google.com/group/alt.society.liberalism/msg/83e117a21b818c9b Ive explained it to you before; its because the state is obligated to protect your First Amendment rights, even from private parties. Milt Shook claiming that private parties are subject to the First Amendment http://groups.google.com/group/alt.society.liberalism/msg/49833dff86ea3447 You cannot fire someone for something that has nothing to do with their job. Milt Shook wrong again http://groups.google.com/group/alt.society.liberalism/msg/c85065e97f69d9e0?hl=en And one of the ironies of this entire discussion is that a company that pays corporate income taxes one year can deduct them as a business expense the next. Milt Shook, Feb 4, 2008 who claims to have been a business consultant and have his own corporation.

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.society.liberalism/msg/b0151278e691117b Milt Shook is like Keyser Soze in the final scene of The Usual Suspects. I can see him now saying, back when I was picking beans in Guatemala In other words, Milt knows everything, has done everything, and everyone is wrong about everything except Milt Shook. In Milt Shooks world, GW Bush could have pardoned OJ Simpson. Matt Casey is a graduate of Boston College and is currently working on a novel set in New York City during the 1920s.

Seems like this asshole had it coming though. Good Job Keep those stories coming! 4. Susan Carter says: February 29, 2012 at 6:34 pm No one but Milt Shook takes Milt Shook seriously. He has a long history of getting things wrong and he has been told that time and again. I read his post on Leopold and it is so rife with basic errors and so long-winded that I had to stop reading. Hes a disgraceful blogger. 5. Gordon says: February 29, 2012 at 6:55 pm I have been waiting for someone to call out this windbag, Milt Shook, for the longest time. I was on one of these chat rooms where he used to post ridiculous statements of fact about the law that we all proved were wrong. Ask Milt to tell you about his time working as a Congressional page which we exposed as a lie. Thats a doozy. Good work, Matt 6. MC says: February 29, 2012 at 7:00 pm Hey Matt how about you fix the e-mail associated with your name so I stop getting e-mails just because I happen to have the same name as you! -MC 7. heatmeiser222 says: February 29, 2012 at 7:02 pm best line in the post (and the links are priceless): That Milt Shook runs a blog called PleaseCutTheCrap while disseminating so much, well, crap, is the epitome of irony. Milt is the hack. I cant believe he attacked Leopold over that story. Guy is unstable.

Joanne H. says: February 29, 2012 at 7:10 pm Who do I send stuff to that I also have on Milt Shook? Wait till you read what I have. Matt Casey is going to update his story. Can someone contact me at through the email I registered with here?

DancerDog111 says: February 29, 2012 at 7:15 pm Look at the comments on Milts blog to his crazy post. The people there actually think FOIA analysts are the same ones who process the MDRs. These idiots dont know a damn thing about how this stuff works. My guess is there are about 1,000 MDRs filed in a year. And when I was processing them back in 2002 there were at best 1,500. This Milt Shook also compared the process and the fees to that of the Patent Trade Office. Oh boy. Someone needs to educate him. But based on this post that seems like a lost cause.

Canyon says: February 29, 2012 at 7:19 pm Whatever you need on ol Milt Shook let me know. I have reams of chat logs from Usenet days and other material that will embarrass him. By now, I would have thought this incompetent windbag would have stopped speaking about the law.
11.
Philip A. says: February 29, 2012 at 7:22 pm The character calling himself WarpedNine on Milts blog is a Milt sockpuppet. That person doesnt work doing FOIA outreach for a federal agency. Believe me, I know and can prove it and going to track his information now.
12.
Philip A. says: February 29, 2012 at 7:28 pm Additionally, if WarpedNine truly did work for a federal agency he, and it is a he, would know the difference between an MDR and a FOIA request and would not have left such a moronic comment. Milt Shook doesnt have the slightest idea what happens internally. Yet, you can find Jason Leopolds name on FOIA logs because of the number of requests he files. Its unfortunate that Milt Shook is incompetent.
13.
KeithO says: February 29, 2012 at 7:31 pm Milt Shook should not be writing. Anything. I had the unfortunate responsibility of reading his god awful book, which I highly do not recommend.
14.
OrionCentral says: February 29, 2012 at 7:35 pm Ok now this is just too funny. After being exposed for using sock puppets, Milt said this: http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Alt/alt.politics.bush/2007-07/msg00929.html If you knew anything about Comcast, youd know that everyone who posts from the same geographical area will have the same IP address, unless they pay twice as much. Um, Milt? Really?
15.
Canyon says: February 29, 2012 at 7:44 pm I just sent some logs to the publicrecord email about Milt Shook that you should look at and publish if you can. Milt wont be happy about it but it will show everyone who listens to this fool what hes really about and how unbelievably unreliable he is. It will make for a good read.

Suzanne says: February 29, 2012 at 7:47 pm Milt posted an update at his blog about this post. Wow. Hes really dumb. So Democratic Underground is a right wing site Milt? People have had it with this guy and his daily attacks. He misrepresented Jason Leopolds article about the lawsuit and deserved this. No he earned it. Ill be emailing this around
17.
LarryS says: February 29, 2012 at 7:49 pm Whats funny about ol Milt is he always says Im not a journalist and then goes on to tell journalists how to do their jobs and what journalism is all about. Look at that ridiculous post on Leopold. He says the article is too long, a paragraph has no journalistic value, blah blah. Milt Shook is a hack and a wannabe and should shut the fuck up.
18.
Peter says: February 29, 2012 at 7:56 pm More factual errors from Milt Shook. He says the above links dont work. Uh. yes they do! Click on them. Im done with his blog. After I saw what he did to Leopold yesterday that was the last straw. Greenwald I understand. But Leopold has done amazing work on Guantanamo and torture. I wonder if Milt takes the time to write about the way the New York Times writes about lawsuits? There was nothing wrong with Leopolds story. Nada. Milt is desperate and that post proved it. Done with him.
19.
Canyon says: February 29, 2012 at 7:58 pm Can someone explain to Milt on his CRAP website what the definition of libel is? Add that to the list of things that have to do with the law he got wrong too. Dumbfuckery doesnt even begin to explain his problem.
20.
Matt Casey says: February 29, 2012 at 9:39 pm Thanks to everyone who sent over the material on Milt Shook. Overwhelming, to say the least. Ill be writing another post and will incorporate all of this. The man is truly unhinged judging from what I received this evening. Milt is welcome to comment if he wishes but Ive been going through his stream on Twitter and will use those and the comment he left about Leopold on his blog calling him a hack and other names. For a person who cries libel and defamation on Twitter he certainly seems to be incapable of understanding the concept of a two-way street. TPR editors also said they are going to post a story by a FOIA expert that will completely destroy Milt and take him down several notches. Stay tuned for that.
21.
all shook up says: February 29, 2012 at 9:56 pm You have to see the comments on Milts blog. Milt Shook is a self-righteous asshole. Thats what he is. HE is now demanding an apology and not just to him. Someone please check Milts medical records. Is he really this crazy?
22.
Canyon says: February 29, 2012 at 10:00 pm Milts whining is about to come to an end. I just found the motherlode. Was saving it because I knew it would be useful one day and that day has arrived. Emailing to you Matt and TPR. Milt thinks that because hes not a journalist and just a blogger that he can write whatever he wants and not be held accountable. Milt, stop digging a deeper hole.

@Canyon: Yeah, Im kinda hoping Milt will realize that he cant hide behind Im not a journalist. He wrote something on his blog that was completely baseless and he libeled Leopold in his comments and he believes he shouldnt be held accountable or that his crap doesnt warrant a response. Ive seen him on Twitter preaching to everyone and speaking as an authority on so many different subjects, such as the debt ceiling, which he got wrong too. Lots of people have sent things in about Milt. He calls this a smear job. Really? Looks to me as if its a post about a person who blogs regularly and has been on radio, etc.. So if youre reading this, you can send an email to thepublicrecord at gmail dot com if you have complaints. But remember, everything you say and write is public record. 24. ThePublicRecord says: February 29, 2012 at 10:29 pm As anyone can easily see from the three years and more than 3,000 stories posted on this website we never, ever publish stories such as this. Milt and his small group of followers are currently complaining about this website and the type of journalism we practice. But Milt Shook went out of his way to misrepresent the reporting of TPR co-founder Jason Leopold, whose work over the past six years has not only won awards but has helped expose many of the policies of the Bush administrations war on terror policies. We do not believe there was anything wrong with Jasons story. We do believe that Milt decided to go after Jason because Jason was critical of Obama in stating that these new fees for MDR searches and the manner in which the new policy was implemented went against Obamas promises of transparency. See, Milt is one of those individuals who will rally to the administrations defense no matter. Milts post would have been fine but he attacked Jason in the headline and that warranted a response. So when Matt approached us we said yes for the simple reason that Milt Shook has a long history of making self-righteous claims that are just plain wrong, which we intend to further document now that Milt continues to hype this issue. If you read his post on Jasons story much of the criticism is about the length and structure of the story and the fact that Jason did not give ample time to the CIA, all of which is bogus. Jasons story contains a comment by the CIA. What Jason wrote was a report. It was NOT an investigative story. But his post gave readers that impression as well. Finally, Jason has filed more than 150 FOIA requests last year and is currently suing the government for violating FOIA. We have posted that story, written earlier this month, on our homepage. Jason is co-founder and editor at large of TPR. He does not work here nor does he have editorial control over the content. Truthout is where Jason works full-time. His name is on the masthead of TPR because he co-founded this site. If Milt would like to discuss this story he can contact me at thepublicrecord at gmail dot com. Murray 25. ThePublicRecord says: February 29, 2012 at 11:30 pm One more note: Id like to use Milt Shooks own words in the attack post he wrote about Jason but Ill change a few words to reflect upon him. If we accept blogger standards that are no better than the Fox News/Free Republic crowd, were going to continue losing the electorate. If a swing voter just happens upon the Please Cut the Crap website, sees an article by Milt Shook that purports to be fact based and authoritative but is in fact a biased pile of garbage, it does more damage to the cause than you can possibly imagine, because many will assume that the rest of progressives are also loose with the truth. Milt Shook believes a story Jason wrote about a lawsuit is not only a biased piece of garbage but may cause a swing voter to vote for the other guy. Chew on that for a while folks. 26. jakartaty says: February 29, 2012 at 11:42 pm Really, Murray? This is a lie? Is he actually denying he said this? http://www.usenetmessages.com/view.php?c=talk&g=108&id=524894&p=1 27. Louis Butler says: February 29, 2012 at 11:58 pm Get this! Milt is out there asking people to delete these old chat room posts and has gone out to delete some himself already. He sent a DM on Twitter to four different people asking them to do this! Ill forward the messages to the public record email. 28. AllShookUp says: March 1, 2012 at 12:03 am

I have finally found the woman of my dreams, although being with her will entail some major changes. I have another new novel coming out sometime in 2009, and a very popular blog at pleasecutthecrap.com, (another blog is forthcoming) as well as another web site at miltshook.com. I am now working as a freelance writer, and will soon be working from a very special, very magical place, far away from Maryland" Milt Shook. <ROTFLMAO I understand that Milt is now complaining abot being numb again he gets that way whenever reality smacks him in the face and his fantasies go up in smoke. "I think this one gets reported, Canyon." "Consider yourself done, or else. if you ever contact me, or anyone I know, ever again, I'll turn it in to the police down there in Florida, and let them investigate it. I am a total stranger to you, we have never met, and you have no reason to look up information about me. As for proving malice, well, that's pretty much in every post." "Don't bother me ever again."

Milt Shook should work for Fox News. He shouldnt be taken seriously. 32. sanders dixon says: March 1, 2012 at 12:50 am One would think that Milt Shook would cease digging a deeper hole as some other commenters have pointed out. Hes left a ttrail behind and it doesnt help his case to suddenly act innocent. Milt Shook is irrelevant as are the people who are part of that clique. I wish I could sit around on Twitter all day and tweet about American Idol, my diseased gums and Obama slogans. Well, actually I dont. But there you have it. 33. Deitrick says: March 1, 2012 at 1:36 am @DamnYouSST I know who youre talking about. Definitely post the ticket. Ill spread it around 34.

Sigh. 36. bushwhacker908 says: March 1, 2012 at 4:05 pm this is someones opinion right? The story says commentary. Whats the problem? 37. hurley223 says: May 28, 2012 at 4:01 am Milt Shook is unreliable and has been known to steal other peoples work. He is a liar and a thief. Dont believe anything he writes.
