Check this out, Freepers: DemocraticUnderground.com has spiked the phony story about Bush wearing medals he did not earn from their servers. A tactical defeat in the war on error -- Democratic error!

If you click on the links, you receive a message indicating that the site administrator has removed the links and taken the articles out of the archives.

The link to the UPI article exposing the scam is still live, though.

Damn. And they were so SURE about this one. Well, at least they still have the Plame Grand Jury. Bwa ha ha ha ha!

[Chummy]

Since when did they have troubles with phonying things up?

[Jenya]

I lurked at the DUmmies spider hole the other night, and one poster had investigated the rules of wearing the medal, and posted the rules. This person was at least honest. They were allowed to wear the medal while they were serving or something like that.

If they removed every untrue or misleading story from their archives, they could run the whole site with a Commodore 64.

I just recently started going over there to read their stuff - have they always been so consistently wrong? So consistently arrogant even though they are constantly PROVEN wrong?

In just the last couple of weeks, they've been laughing amongst themselves about how stupid Freepers were to think that a journalistic legend like Dan Rather didn't absolutely insure those documents were geniune, they've posted photographic "proof" that they union goon who ripped up the little girl's Bush/Cheney poster was actually her brother (the photo comparison was absolutely hysterical - they didn't even look remotely alike), and now this story.

They are a confused bunch of bumbling idiots over there, convinced that they are proving their intellectual superiority everyday.

Dr Krevorkian should clone himself.

He will be in high demand from the lunatic libs between now and when GW is sworn in for his second term.

Huh??!

Since when did they have an ethics gene? Since when did they pull a story/thread because it was demostrably false?

I don't get it...

[eggman]

The Ministry of Truth is busily erasing the lies that didn't work out.

[MizSterious]

Another "mistake in judgment" ala Dan Rather? Idiots.

[spodefly]

Don't worry. I keep a folder called "Insane $hit from DU" and that thread is one I have available. I have several threads archived that they have since removed.

[Billthedrill]

They've got itchy underpants because of an "Alive In '75" medal? Sheesh...
