No, genius, his ALLIES care about FR--they want it SHUT DOWN.

I'm sure that any number of people a lot more powerful than Mr. Schiavo wouldn't mind FR being shut down, I just don't understand why you think he has more power to do so than anyone else. If the Clinton Administration couldn't do it, then why can he? And not all the people who were mentioned on this site with regards to the Clinton scandals were public officials. Clinton never even got Matt Drudge. As much as I would like to think otherwise, I still don't believe the ``ALLIES'' that you refer to are that bent on FR's destruction.

I suspect what they're really interested in is avoiding having the things said that they would rather not be said. Which raises the question of what the point is of having a site, if you can't say on it the things that need saying.

Because there are some idiots on this board that have been handing him that power with their tendency to rant beyond the point of fact.

If the Clinton Administration couldn't do it, then why can he?

Because while FR broke no federal laws, some posters in this case have gone beyond the bounds of legal speech and into libel.

Keep up the act.

Clinton never even got Matt Drudge.

Because Drudge executed an immediate retraction.

Just keep up the act.

Also ---- everything that gets discussed here gets discussed in private homes, church halls, workplaces, restaurants, bars, picnics in parks ---- anywhere a 2 or more people might get to talking and discussing news or politics. It seems like a ridiculous threat to tell people they cannot discuss motives of those who want their wives dead.
