First David Arnett lied to me now he lies about me.
In the spirit of kicking a man when he’s down, David Arnett wrote a recent attack on Randy Brogdon after Brogdon stepped down as Republican state chairman.
Then he wrote about me, “Beginning with his assumed Republican credentials...”

A few points:
- I DID run for public office as a Republican in 1988 when I was 20. I was the only candidate representing the Republican party in Rogers County that year.
- I DID work at the Republican National Committee on Capitol Hill during the summer of 1994.
- And I HAVE worked on over 100 campaigns for Republicans over a period of 30 years.
Assumed Republican credentials? That’s really pretty sad David, but you do like to bend the truth don’t you? He even took a swipe at KFAQ radio. Perhaps this is due to the fact his name and website are never mentioned there.
But here’s where I am personally compelled to respond to David Arnett’s libel: He wrote, “King still attacks this publisher because I fired him.” David Arnett did not fire me but he did lie to me about the story he wanted me to write on the state superintendent’s race. Please see my July 15 story about David Arnett here on Sooner Politics especially the part about David’s December 2014 phone call to me. He didn’t fire me, quite the contrary.
David Arnett’s attack on Randy Brogdon and his family was vile. In it he cited anonymous sources. That attack is proof of what I wrote about the bastards in the Republican party that were out to personally destroy Brogdon. The Tulsa World needs real competition, but it will never come from the likes of David Arnett.
David Arnett chose to smear me and Randy Brogdon in his recent column. I am honored to be in Brogdon’s company and wish Brodgon all the best. I will continue to do well in my writing because I am an honest man and a pretty good writer. Even David Arnett once recognized my abilities.
