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.

Hey Meek, Those PIC's are fantastic!

Where Did all those FReepers come from?

I don't know who these bozoids at the weekly standard are, but they sound a trifle prissy, constipated, and narcissistic.

Is it just me or does Algore look closer to mental instability everytime he shows up in tmedia somewhere. He just doesn't look like he's too "with it" in the noggin in that pic.

On second thought, in that suit and that pose, he looks like he is adressing the Politboro.

Bad editing-shame on Weekly Standard, allowing the misspelling of troll to go into print. To trawl the Message boards of Free Republic, is peace to the soul. Those who troll Free Republic are already insane and beyond redemption when they arrive.

To: Enterprise
The President is openly questioning
Exactly.
So, shy did Bush speak out? Well, someone may have told him that beyond question his campaign or the RNC is in possession of evidence "showing" was in kinkos on the day in question (e.g. A video). If this can be demonstrated, the DNC, CBS, and the Kerry campaign are going to go down together.

I don't know who these bozoids at the weekly standard are, but they sound a trifle prissy, constipated, and narcissistic.Perhaps, but are they wrong?
To: Truth Table
yes, they are wrong on at least one point: THOUSANDS of us, not mere "hundreds"

"but do I spit over this thing?"
We all do from time to time, and wind up having to replace our keyboard. We don't spit in anger though, we just do that when we read an extra funny quip when our mouth is full of our favorite beverage.

A long but excellent article in detailing the entire sequence of events of
Rathergate, starting with Buckhead's comment on FR about the now-famous "60 Minutes" documents, to the present. Also in this article are several humorous comments from "lefty bloggers out in the fever swamps" who refused to believe that the documents had been forged.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent miscellaneous ping list.
