I don't see the problem with KBOO hiring a law firm. After the way things have been handled lately they're gonna need good lawyers.
In any case, the entire reason for the uproar about Bullard was to manufacture a reason to get rid of Lynn Fitch. Just like the fake outrage over the T Shirts (I hear they're available right now for a $90 pledge). Same reason for the fake outrage about Thom Hartmann, you don't hear KBOO insiders screaming about it now do you? It was all manufactured to get rid of the manager.
Yup. KBOO sure does need some good lawyers.

The Tee Shirt fiasco was my fault. I take all the blame.
I produced the video and posted it. The video where that tee-shirt thing became infamous via the infamous yellow blog. To be clear, the outrage was not fake, as you characterise it. It was real. I think that was the first time Joe had seen that t-shirt with that message and he was offended. So was I, at first not realising the humor behind the whole thing. Satire is dangerous. Personally I thought his response was brilliant, even tho not well-researched.
My only regret is that my camera ran outta memory before it was done. Would that I could have recorded and presented all the community response -- all the folks who spoke up one way or the other.
To repeat -- the outrage was not fake.
