It doesn't get any older than this.

Help, this is my first vanity...a desperate plea for assistance with the FR search-engine.
I need help finding a NYTimes article that was posted on FR around 2001.
It was about the response on FR to Carl "Cass" Sunstein's comments on news-sites such as FR in his book republic.com in which he allegedly proposed that the government should regulate sites like FR.
Back in the early 2000s, such far-left meglomaniacs seemed condemned to the ivory tower, but now they're being put into positions of power by the 0 administration. My comments I posted on FR were partially quoted in the NYTimes without giving me any credit whatsoever and without my permission or notification.
Some Freeper was kind enough to tag me in the thread on this subject back around 2001.
Sunstein has been nominated by President Obama to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, so I'm interested in seeing the article again.
How can I search the old archives of FR for comments by and TO jonatron in an article from NYTimes.com mentioning "sunstein" and "republic?"
Thank you!!!
Something old? OK...I can introduce you to Eaker.
{ducking and running...}
Scroll up.
See that linkie-thingie called Search?
Click it.
It won’t help you a dam bit. FR’s search function has always been a joke. You know it. I know it. The boss and his son know it.
Once in awhile they fiddle with it and it does no good.....
Ahhhh... I better stop my little rant now. Don’t need no time outs, eh?
What was your question again?
have you tried goodle? the “way back machine”?
If you are looking for the NYT article, is this the one?
It doesn't get any older than this.
Search the NYT archives. Once you locate the article, you can look it up by name here.
Something like this :http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/28/technology/28CYBERLAW.html?scp=8&sq=Carl%20Sunstein&st=cse
oops, thats the old old style... don’t work now
While you are at it....find me that letter by the South African Conservative....warning us Americans...about our future.
Cass Sunstein, an American legal scholar and Harvard Law Professor, has been appointed by President Obama to head up the “White House Office Of Information And Regulatory Affairs.” His title is sufficiently broad and ambiguous, but he wields plenty of power. And with advance copies circulating of his new book “On Rumors: How Falsehoods Spread, Why We Believe Them, What Can Be Done,” Americans who still care about their rights to “freedom of speech” should be paying close attention.
Really interesting coming from a guy who wrote this in 2003...
Review Why Societies Need Dissent...shows that demands for lock-step conformity are wrong and uninformed thinking. Sunstein's important new study is filled with empirical evidence of the significance of opposition, found in his compelling explanations of the need for, and benefits of, disagreement. Sunstein reveals that, in fact, the influence of dissenters is for the better, be it with courts, juries, corporate boardrooms, churches, sports teams, student organizations or faculties, not to mention 'the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court...during times of both war and peace.' --John W. Dean (Los Angeles Times Book Review )
You gotta come back to the States someday!
Then boom, to the moon!
Sorry to piggyback on your thread, but since we’re looking for old things, does anyone have the picture of George Washington with the tear in his eye? I would love to see that again.
Google a post you made on the subject with your screen name. Every post ever made is out there.
You're an advocate of woman-beating!!!
that looks like it
