I wasn't questioning your honesty. Its just that I haven't received any e-mails with misleading information about Kerry or the President. And I don't follow the goings-on of the blogosphere.

My emphasis was on the "Interesting" part, not the "if true" part.

If it is true that you have picked up on an actual phenomenon, then this is one part of the left's counterattack against the new media (specifically the internet), which has hurt them so badly in recent days. They are apparantly going to try to muddy the waters by spewing all kinds of misinformation and disinformation into cyberspace in an effort to diminish its power.

This strategy will only increase the value of FreeRepublic (and whatever other similar sites exist, although I admit I know of none). Because FR is moderated by responsible people who care about the truth, it will serve an increasing role as a gatekeeper and truth filter.

I didn't mean any offense to you personally.
