While we’re on the topic of Ed Brayton…

Ed has this post today regarding the Wren Chapel cross: Wm. and Mary Cross Case Dismissed

It reads in part:

…howls of outrage from the religious right. One aggrieved alumni withdrew a $10 million donation to the college, groups like the ADF put out breathless and hysterical press releases condemning the decision as a PC attempt to destroy Christianity, the usual blather

1) I didn’t think ADF had any involvement in that controversy, so I checked to see if ADF had issued any “breathless and hysterical press releases.” I wonder if Ed can turn up any evidence of his “blather.” There are no press releases on the ADF website regarding the Wren cross. In fact, the ONLY comment I can locate from anyone at ADF is a single, decidedly non-hysterical post from David French on Phi Beta Cons. Ed, are we making anything up here?

2) The withheld gift to W&M was $12 million, not $10 million. (As if this guy has no right to give or not give to whom he wants).

Two errors, one big one small, in one sentence. How many more errors and inconsistencies would we find on “Dispatches” if all of us had as much time on our hands as “businessman” Ed does?
