The man behind Rathergate

Limbaugh illustrated this point again about "censorship" by the MSM. Over the weekend the NYT published an article confirming that there had been WMDs in Iraq. The response from the rest of MSM?

Dead silence.

There seems to be some fascination in the press with my past conservative activities, but all that really shows is that I am a bit like Forrest Gump. I just happened to be standing there, saw something go by, and said "Hey, Look at that!" and everybody went nuts. Could have been anybody.

I love that analogy and I appreciate what you're saying. However, most momentous events in history have one person representing it, rather right or wrong. (Paul Revere, etc.) Your contribution to this event happens to be the one illuminated.

I am aware that Howlin and Pikamax and others played an important role in this. Not to mention Jim Robinson for making this forum possible. It's the drop of water contributed by all Freepers that breaks the dam and most of us will not receive any recognition.

I can understand not wanting this kind of scrutiny or attention. However, your reluctance to accept full recognition for this event only makes you more attractive as a hero, unfortunately. LOL.

And so I say, GO FORREST!.

Special recognition to Howlin and Pikamax.
