When the White House press corps first starts asking questions of new White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, the first question should be, "Sir, exactly what are you trying to hide?". There are a plethora of glib answers one could give to such a question, but the fact remains, Mr. Snow was a regular poster over at Free Republic ( http://www.freerepublic.com ), and as one can see from the link and quote below, overnight when it was announced he would be the new press secretary, the mountain of information Mr. Snow had submitted and had posted on the site disappeared. What is he hiding? What sorts of comments is he afraid might see the light of day?
This is who the White House has chosen to be a trusted deliverer of important information?
So, when the White House press corps ask Press Secretary Snow about possible cover-ups in the Valerie Plame CIA Leak-Gate affair, what expectation should they have for any sort of truthful information? But isn't this the White House whose candidate said "We're going to restore Honor and Dignity to the White House"? What sort of Honor and Dignity can one have where evasiveness and cover-ups and deleted comments are the order of the day? And what is this replacement about anyway? A Press Secretary isn't a creator or developer of policies, he simply is someone who tries to put the best face on the President's policies. The public is unhappy with the President and what he has done, so what steps does the President take? He hires someone, for whom cover-ups are the order of the day, to try and convince us that we in fact like the President's policies. What a complete insult to the people's intelligence.
Tony Snow should be withdrawn from consideration and someone the people can trust should be put in his place.

To: lexington minuteman 1775 Jim Robinson and/or the moderators removed all of Tony's posts from here sometime yesterday. My assumption is that the White House doesn't want any of his private comments easily available.

Give me a break!
Was everything Snow posted removed from FreeRepublic?
Why?
EXACTLY!
Yes.

Why?
You wouldn't want imprudent comments by others in the same threads Tony was participating in to be used against him would you?
Steven Leser is a freelance journalist specializing in Politics, Science & Health, and Entertainment topics. He has held positions within the Democratic Party including District Chair and Public Relations Chair within county organizations. His coverage of the Ohio Presidential Recount in 2004 was distinguished by interviews with Carlo Loparo, spokesperson for the Ohio Secretary of State, along with Supervisors of Elections of several Ohio counties. Similar efforts on other topics to get first hand information from sources separate Mr. Leser from many of his contemporaries.
"OpEdNews"???
I wonder what Steven Leser's DUmmie name is.
What are we hiding?
click the link to the article then click his name, then scroll down... by the looks of the headlines of his articles I'd say its 100% confirmed that he frequents DU.
Google News had it listed as a hit when I was looking for something else.
Post #3 and #5 nails it.
I forgot to ping you.
This Steven Leser frequents FR and posts here!
Here is the link that I found that quote in...1st paragraph
Hey Leser I know you're reading this, you look like a tool.
"So, I created an alias and have been studying the Freepers ever since."I imagine he see himself as a man with a microscope taking notes on the microbes here! LOL
So he created an alias here...wonder what he's hiding...
The problem with Free Republic is that most anybody can post most anything here.
So, any time that Tony's comments end up in the same thread as some nutjob's comments, the democrats will have a field day with it. They'll equate Tony with the nutcase and try to leverage that into smearing W.
Look at how it's starting with the removal of his account. What's going unsaid here is that they already have thousands of hours of Tony's opinion from his own show and from when he stood in for Rush, etc.
So making a stink about his account on a forum like Free Republic is just another smear tactic.
The democrats just hyperventilate hate 24/7.
That's precisely correct. They already do that with the comments at LGF, and try to say that those are Charles Johnson's comments.
What are we afraid of?
If you sneaze the moderator delete it. We used to have some decent discusions but now you have to be careful about saying bad stuff about Presidente Bush.
If we don't throw Bush under the bus the USA will be lost. The Iraq war is not the threat to america, Mexico's invasion is.
