FYI
Maybe I'm too laser-focused, but I'm already seeing WAY too many other stories about other topics bumped on FR this morning.
WE CAN'T LET THIS THING DIE. We just can't.
They say this like it's not a compliment.
"Bastion of Right-Wing Lunacy." It has a nice ring to it sort of like "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy." Fellow Bastioneers, consider the source and look upon this designation as a badge of honor.
Note to liberal Dems:
Blaming Republicans for your idiotic blunders is getting old.
Does this mean the VRWC had been replaced by BRWL? Lunacy? omg!
Yup, we were the ones who got Dan Rather to run the hoax, and we didn't even use our first team.
(And they call US loonies? Hahahahahaha!)
Of course, they still overlook the fact that CBS was dumb enough to air documents that are obvious fakes.Why would they do that, especially if the source for the docs is a bunch of oright wing nutbars? Wouldn't they have ALREADY revealed the source of the fraud, instead of continuing it and ripping themselves down even further?
Or can they somehow make the case (despite his well-documented track record) that Rather is in the pocket of the Pubbies?
Lib conspiracies don't need logic-- they need an excuse.

If being a lunatic means being RIGHT, call me nuts!
Blogging harkens back to the early 16th Century when any printer's devil with a taste for theology could take part in the great disputes of the Reformation. Not on Catholic officials but Luther and the "big names" were fit to be tied by publications that had their own take on the issues.
How many hours a day does everyone have to spend blogging and freeping before this is considered "mature."
These folks are still 3 years behind the times at least.
It was amazing Thursday to watch the documents story go from FreeRepublic.com, a bastion of right-wing lunacy, to Drudge to the mainstream media in less than 12 hours," said Jim Jordan
That is not amazing given that electronic signals travel at fractional light-speed. What is amazing is the slothful slow dawning on the crowd that foisted these things on the public that they just might be forgeries.
From recognition to typing out a message on free republic is only minutes. Within two hours the pile on of cross corroborating opinions was so loud that even drudge could not help but notice the pile-up in his inbox. Twelve hours is really really really SSSSSLLLLOWWWW in the new media.
Funny he mentions this - the script for this manufactured news of Guard service was cooked up from the loonie left's Jim Moore - author of Bush's Brain Jim Moore is is feeding the conspiracy happy left fringe
This will forever be the classic example of "shoot the messenger"
Dammit, we're trying to be clever here, and these conservative comedians go and muck it all up. The nerve! Don't they realize that we've been getting away with it for 20 years now?
I do not believe it was a scam. But, for the sake of argument, if it is, I would just add the friendly reminder that you can't scam an honest man.
Right wing lunacy?
Well, this lunatic fringe will whup yours any day of the week! :)
