They taled about Buckhead on FOX and friends this morning. They talked about the democrats beliefe that he's part of some grand conspiracy.

" Hundreds of voices are shouting, spitting, and clamoring for attention at any given moment."


lol, a ten minute lurker.

Hundreds of voices

Thousands of voices...

[CaptRon]

IF YOU TRAWL the posting boards at FreeRepublic.com long enough, you'll go mad. Hundreds of voices are shouting, spitting, and clamoring for attention at any given moment.

Wow. That's not very flattering.

This is a great article for summing up the whole controversy--from the beginning on Free Republic to Rather's defense--to the gradual accumulation of evidence that turned virtually every part of the old MSM against CBS.

So, THAT explains it...

Amen!
I am addicted to this story!
Thank goodness (and the Robinsons) for Free Republic!

[Leroy S. Mort]

If you get past the "shouting, spitting, and clamoring" comment, this is probably the best recap of the whole Memogate controversy I've seen to date.

[MaryFromMichigan]

Wow. That's not very flattering.

Yeah, but it is accurate. :)

Mad is it? If dear Jonathan were in New Delhi, India, right this minute, I'd show him mad. LOL! But seriously, good story.

Too true, and I will not totally disagree with the first comments.

FR is pretty rambunctious at times, and very much so for a new user. This does not make it any less valuable, informative and addicting, once you get past the initial shock.

Besides, compared to DU, this place is a tranquil haven of reason, order and civility.

[CaptRon]

Agreed, it was a good article, but that beginning!

[occutegirl]

The more I troll here, the more I feel relieved and hopeful for the country.

[COUNTrecount]

Truth calling Dan Rather. Pick up the courtesy phone.

[cwiz24]

Free Republic is not a blog!!!!

[OhMike]

That's a good long article that tells it like it is about the denizens of the fever swamps.

[Truth Table]

Last's initial discription is accurate from a "fist visit to free republic" point of view, IMHO. I was very pleased with his summary analysis of the story, detailing the guts and debunking the nuts. (DU: Karl Rove Did it!!!!)

Buckhead will be doing a book deal soon (Course Boarders will hide it when it is published.)

A simple test:
Close your browser (trawler?),
step away from the keyboard,
if you still hear those voices, shouting, spitting, or claiming to be God;

Seek help.
