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. The night of Wednesday September 8 was no different. Following the 8 P.M. airing of CBS's 60 Minutes hit on President Bush's record in the Texas Air National Guard, Freepers were rattling their cages and pinging around the web in anger and disconsolation. On a thread begun in response to a New York Times article about the 60 Minutes story, "tomahawk" wrote, "The MSM [mainstream media] are whores for Kerry, whores for Democrats, and whores for Jihadists. Through their lies and distortions, our country's continued existence is now in doubt."
Amidst this clamor, the post by "Buckhead" could easily have gotten lost. At 11:59 P.M.

I was a voice of caution all afternoon on Thursday, and I'd do it again. It was not until Thursday evening that we began to get definitive proof. And if the TrueType and Adobe font designers hadn't spoken up, we'd still be in limbo.
There's a lot of noise on FR, as eleswhere, but the truth stands out when it becomes undeniable.
There are, by the way, still a lot of posts on the subject that are innacurate, but real.
Interesting...

LOL! I had the same thought when I read that.
Great article. Demonstrates how valuable MSP can be.
The Gloves are now off. The Republicans have now formally charged the DNC and Burkett with the memo fraud (I overheard this on FNC while catching up on some work). If liberals were mad a few days ago, they are going to be furious now. The DU Denizens are probably throwing fits. Bigger than Watergate. MUCH MUCH bigger. The more incredulous that folks like Korn and Clift act the madder middle America will get. Wait and see.
"So few remember "A+Bert" :"
I'll drink to that ;>)
Where's Askel5 when you need her?
BOY HOWDY! The President is openly questioning the documents! If HE is openly questioning them, then the REAL fireworks are about to begin! IOW - KATY BAR THE DOOR and GET READY FOR AN E-TICKET RIDE! It's gonna be A/Holes and elbows!
Your usual excellence in play I see.
I positively agree. It is one of the great things about FR, that our discourse is bound mostly by decency, and for those who really want to know the truth, an expectation that assertions be supported with source material and lucid explanation.
The only point I was trying to make, I think, was that there is much noise on FR. And all of us, myself emphatically included, are prone to make misstatements of fact.
There should be a way to 'rate' threads and articles, so that the best stuff is able to peek above the crowd. Feedback mechanisms like that are good.
I am firm believer in caveat emptor. It is properly the reader's chore to sort out fact from fiction, and to reach his or her own conclusions.
LOL!
We also use punctuation and capitals and other neat kinds of grammar.
He's been exposed by the LAT, so we need to pray for him.

Bless his heart, I'm sure he didn't want that.

Actually, I'm wearing plaid boxers. Freepers like genuine diversity.
