Thanks again for sharing with us.

The Rat Digital Brownshirts live and thrive on Free Republic as old embedden Trolls/Fifth Columnists posing as the Real True Conservatives. They are the rapid response team for the liberals on Free Republic.

It is amazing how quickly they jump on a good news thread on the economy, the war in Iraq, the WOT or anything that GW does. It is obvious that their goal is derail the good news or defuse the bad news.

Whenever, Reuters, AFP/AP or the New York Slimes to the LA Slimes has a negative article/editorial or a new lie about GW, they are the first to post it. Then their cadre of Brown Shirt Jackals jump on the thread to stab GW in the back. Most recent has been the bs that Dick Cheney should resign. That started here even before the NY Slimes had their spin on Cheney resigning. One freeper posted this weekend that he supported GW, but everyone of his cabinet and advisors should resign. Even the NY Slimes didn't go that far.

Now for a quote from you re the Rat Digital Brownshirts:

"The Democrat "digital brownshirt" movement has come a long way since Kangas’s wildcatting days. Today, the movement is well-funded and tightly disciplined. Its headquarters is the Center for American Progress (CAP), a far-left think tank launched in July 2003. Headed by former Clinton Chief of Staff John Podesta and funded with $10 million from George Soros, CAP serves as the premier platform for Hillary Clinton’s political activism.


"One of CAP’s missions, according to its charter, is to run "rapid response" media campaigns, for the purpose of debunking and discrediting troublesome press reports. In this respect, CAP’s mission echoes that of the so-called "War Room" which Hillary operated during the 1992 presidential campaign. According to the Washington Post:

"The war room was set up to gather as much intelligence as possible and quickly turn it to Clinton’s advantage. Campaign advisors tried to anticipate what stories reporters were working on in hopes of shaping those stories before they were written."


"Critical to the War Room’s success was James Carville’s so-called "rapid-response team" – an elite band of spinmeisters who prided themselves on their ability to intercept a Clinton scandal report at midnight and turn it around to Clinton’s advantage by 7 am the next morning.


"In view of these facts, Al Gore's use of the term "rapid responder" becomes less mysterious. But it is the Democrats, not the Republicans, who have honed rapid media response to a science."

So, again I ask, WHY did McCain push that restriction on free speech into HIS version of the campaign bill?

It makes no sense, and wasn't needed - Still isn't needed. But why did he add it?
