As we are compiling information, I thought that this would be an interesting place for discussion. FReepers are also good at digging up new information. It is no secret that the talk radio shows regularly get their material from the pages of Free Republic.

Oh man, if it did . . . and someone can prove it? This would be GOLD.

Pinging you so you can see what follows.

I have no doubt the fix was in for Obama. I think Bill and Hillary know it and are laying the seeds for 2012. It will be a lot harder to pull the same tricks and he did in 2008. He has worn them out against the Republicans.

[Sarah Barracuda]

The fix was in from the beginning. The media was pulling for Obama in ways that I have never seen before. I would think the media would be in the tank for the Clintons, but the media trashed Hillary til she really had no chance of winning the primaries. Don’t know if the media made a deal with Obama and his people or what but the fix was definitely in..a blind squirrel could see it

[sodpoodle]

James Carville should have figured this out by now!

Tucker Carlson needs a ping too;)

Did JournoList help take down Hillary?

If they did and she finds out, its gonna look like a field trip to the people's temple in Ft Marcy park.

[cripplecreek]

Definitely a potential democrat civil war brewing. All the race baiting is causing Obama to lose white voters at an astounding rate and Hillary may be many things but stupid isn’t one of them.

[Carley]

Is there any doubt that the journOlists worked against hillery.

Seems to me that the very act of supporting obama was an act against hillery.

[1rudeboy]

I know that Hillary’s supporters claimed that there was a media conspiracy against their candidate. But they need to put two and two together and if not, someone else should if they can. Like I said, GOLD.

[Freddd]

Oh so it would prove it wasn’t a ‘vast right wing conspiracy’ but an actual ‘vast left wing conspiracy’...wow

[Nosterrex]

These journolisters are all male chauvinists. There is probably no greater gathering of sexists than liberal journalists. They will never admit it openly, but privately, among themselves, they boast about it. These guys wanted a black socialist male in office so badly they could not contain themselves. It was a feel-good high, and they were willing to do and say anything that would fulfill their goals.

Time to mow the grass, but hold the fertilizer. Won't be any need for that.

BTW, way back when i first came to DC a young analyst at the CIA was found dead in the park.

Always a place to watch for bodies ~ the fact Hillary's boyfriend showed up there suggests someone was in on the tradition.

[tanknetter]

I have no doubt the fix was in for Obama.

There was an article (about a year, year and a half ago?) about how journalists were so caught up in the "historic moment" of the Obama candidacy that they were bringing their kids to campaign events that they were also supposed to be covering (objectively )

[tanknetter]

If they did and she finds out, its gonna look like a field trip to the people's temple in Ft Marcy park.

The thought crossed my mind that the very fact that Ezra Klein is still breathing could be evidence that the whole "Arkanicide" thing is just tinfoil-hat fodder.

Then again, if *I* were Ezra Klein, I know I wouldn't be sleeping all that well at night knowing that this stuff was slowly making its way into the public domain, given what seems to happen to people who seriously f*ck with the Clintons. I have to wonder whether anyone has thought to send Ezra the "Arkanicide" list with a note that it probably wasn't a good idea to do things that make Auntie Hillary cross ...

[Carley]

O took hillary out in Iowa. That was the end of the game.

Washington Doesn't Sleep Here
New York Times, The (NY) - Sunday, March 9, 2008
Author: ASHLEY PARKER

Abstract: Article on life at Flophouse in Washington, DC, where five roommates—Matthew Yglesias, Kriston Capps, Spencer Ackerman, Sam Boyd and woman nicknamed Becks—spend good deal of their time blogging; photos (L)

EXCERPT

This is not the only blogger house. Ezra Klein , a 23-year-old writer and blogger for The American Prospect, lives with three other journalists, many of whom also blog. And the house named Casa de Libertarios, where Julian Sanchez, 28, and David Weigel, 26, live, is just three blocks away from the Flophouse. Mr. Sanchez and Mr. Weigel, both bloggers and editors at Reason, a libertarian magazine, once lived with a third Reason colleague who has since moved out. When the magazine didn't have a Washington office, they'd spend all day at home or in a nearby cafe, working.

Who pays the bills at the flop house? Where does the money come from?
