bartcop is where I believe the Corsi remarks were compiled first. I'm not going to link you because I think you're capable of at least navigating to their site and looking it up.

On bartcop, an ID called "backlash2" posted some remarks about FR, FRN, BobJ, and Mr. Corsi. 'backlash' also provided a copy of some comments about Corsi that appeared on the antifreeper site, (I know you already have the url, so again I won't bother linking you) and he linked to the original posting at the AF site.

The author at antifreepers was "Dung Beetle", who has been banned from FR as Mojo, Hon, Philistine, and one or two more IDs in the past few days. He has been identified as "Mojo" the last two times, by Jim or John. I trust them to be right.

On bartcop, this is how the thread begins:

----->> "Freerepublic/Swiftboat connection?" <<------

Further along, this is part of the post that was copied from the antifreeper site, as originating from "Mojo" or "dung" as he is called now:

((snip.......))Corsi is a Freeper and a bit of a flake. He was a factor in my being banned.

Other bartcop comments appear as follows:

WOW! Great nose for that FReeper stink, Backlash! Get this to MediaMatters.com and the Truth Squad... CALL MIKE MALLOY! Or EMail him the goodies.

Somebody should send this to Kerry's Truth Squad. Free Republic is a sleezy organization with a history of breaking the law and harassing and threatening people. It should be pointed out that Bush's people are working with these creeps.

"OK, To Whom Do We Write to Send This?"

Who wants to write a letter?

Mike Malloy: mike@mikemalloy.comRandi Rhodes: rrhodes@airamericaradio.com

Media Matters: mm-tips@mediamatters.org

Atrios: atrios@comcast.net

Bart: bartcop@bartcop.com

Some single person needs to scrape Backlash's stuff into one letter... This needs to get to AT LEAST the folks above. Probably more.

This must rise to where it needs to go. They NEED to be exposed

"I already took care of mediamatters..." And LibertyPost, too, for that matter. Thanks for all your BRAVE work, backlash.

Hey, just wanted to let you know this is all over Democratic Underground: ((edited link))

Thanks for the awesome detective work, guys!

I just had to forward the link to your thread to Media Matters, Kerry's offical message board, and hell, I even sent it to Drudge.

Nice job!

In answer to your question about a source and links, yes I do have a source and links. See above.

In answer to your question about why Brock from MediaMatters didn't mention where he got this information about Corsi--I don't know. Ask him. Ditto for Kerr with AP.

You appear to go from thread to thread demanding that people explain facts that are obvious. Why are you MORE CONCERNED with how Freepers are smearing the liberals who organized to get Mr. Corsi, than with what has been done to FR and Corsi and the SBVs? You persist in following me around demanding that I account to you for my remarks and insult me by accusing me of 'smearing' anonymous IDs without any proof, but there IS proof-you just don't seem to understand it. Or don't want to.

Go badger the liberals for a while and leave me and others who are following this story, alone. We aren't the enemy, but you don't seem to get that.

MMFA investigates: Who is Jerome Corsi, co-author of Swift Boat Vets attack book?(Posted to the web on Friday August 6, 2004 at 6:20 PM EST)

I don't think Mojo/Hon/Dung.. etc is backlash2 at bartcop. He is a strong supporter of Bush and I truly believe he would eat hot coals rather than deliberately damage the Swift Boat Vets effort.

If he wanted to out Corsi's FR name, it would have been a simple matter to send earlier links to posts where Corsi or others outed his FR name and Google the incriminating posts rather than go through a Bartcop name.

But, since backlash2 specifically referenced a particular Anti Kooking post, it does look like backlash2 probably did discover the information at the Anti Kooking site and forwarded this to MediaMatters and others, although it appeared at FR earlier.

Are you limited? I only ask because you don't seem able to follow along very well. I'm sorry. I will exhibit some of the compassionate conservatism the right is famous for, and try to explain this to you in simple terms you can understand.

Let me see if follow:
You said "I'm not going to link you," and you didn't, then concluded by saying that you "had" the links, as though that indicated you were forthcoming.
Since you didn't, someone else had to do it for you. When they did, the excerpted post that was the fulcrum of your rant appears in a different light:

Prior to the link to the AK site on that post was this link:
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=jrlc+site%3Afreerepublic.com&btnG=Search
There are 97 results for that Google Search as of this writing, and some of those are undoubtedly more recent than the bartcop post about which we're discussing. Many of those results, though, predate the bartcop post, reveal Corsi's FR screen name, and are sourced back to this forum.
While backlash2 linked to a post at AK, he did so only once, so your statement that the "source even copied posts from another site where a banned FR personality(s) said Corsi played a part in that banning" is an exaggeration at best. There was a single AK link, yet there was a Google link with dozens of FR threads, and another 8 FR and 4 FRN direct links on the bartcop thread.
The bartcop inquiry was not initiated by questions about Corsi, those arose later, but by questions about FR and the Swift Vets which revolved around Scott Swett's involvement with both groups.
I submit that the reason you didn't actually link the bartcop thread is that it reads differently than the spin you posted. The vast bulk of the information posted at bartcop came straight from Free Republic, and even the one bit of information that might be attributed to AK was only posted there after it had been revealed many times at Free Republic.
