Freeper Michael P.Tremoglie ( William Tell 2 ) broke a story on Free Republic about the floodgate project that was aborted in 1977 because of an environmentalist lawsuit. Tremoglie quoted Professor Stone of LSU stating that if the floodgates at the Rigolets and Chef Menteur passes had been built the flooding would have been alleviated. Just do a search for poster William Tell 2 the title is Compassionate Liberalism 3 Environmentalists may have caused Flooding
Yet Hannity and Colmes did not bother to credit Tremoglie.
This is a classic example of conservative's eating their own. Liberals at least will stick together.
What a shame. A smalltime freelance conservative journalist gets a scoop and the big boys won't even give him credit. So instead of maybe getting a chance to make a living he gets ripped off.
I am going to contact Hannity and Colmes and give them a piece of my mind.
Freep Hannity and Colmes!!
It is a scoop when no one else wrote about it.
The fact that all these other people were talking about AFTER Tremoglie broke confirms this.
Yeah, I couldn't believe that... what did she do right, she cried? I could have done that, too.
Ronald Reagan
[How is it a scoop to uncover historical facts known at the time and bring them up for new attention years later?]
That is just "good research".
Getting a COPYRIGHT for it takes a bit more. :^)
Ping!
Nope, turned off the show when Dean came on. Did not turn it back on until Greta came on.
But being the first to bring up publicly available facts is not a scoop. Anyone who wants to do the research can produce the same story. They may not have been the first to do so, but the point is that no new facts are being presented.
A "scoop" is being the first to report important new facts.
It took about 10 seconds to make a total A$$ of himself. I hope he stays on as the chair wuss of the RAT party for the rest of his life.
Well I just found the story about Blanco doing everything right, it exists only as a press release from Conyers.

Wow that was hilarious.
You spent hours thinking that one up.
Can't build yourself up so you tear others down.
You are a real role model. You must be Joe Biden's speech writer.
Hahahahahahah
I didn't see anything about Blanco at that link; only a story about environmentalists and fisheries.
But I wouldn't be surprised if a group headed by Conyers said she did everything right.
This does not surprise me. Hannity has been stealing Rush's talking points for years. Rush even alluded to "someone" pladgerizing his show's talking points. Rush and Sean never refer to each other in the last few years. Hannity works hard, but he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. His grammar is horrible, and he cannot stay focussed on a topic for more than a nano-second, unless his handlers instruct him otherwise. Then he will spend hours reciting his notes 43 different ways.
Would it be possible that their own researchers found this on their own? Does Will Tell 2 have access to super secret information that no one on Fox News can get to and this is where the info came from?
Calm down, this is America not England, you can't copyright facts here. The important part is the story is out. And maybe you should check with Will before going off in a righteously indignant snit, won't you feel silly if he doesn't care.
What a JACKA$$!!!!!!!
Which one?
I heard Major Garrett talk about it too.
How do you know where Fox got the story? They may have gotten it from the same source as your freeper.
