I thought Howlin gets the credit for noticing the quetions about the docs and starting a new thread on it ....That thread is the one that focused all the attention on the forgery question
The media elite must be in shock that "buckhead" is not addicted to oxycontin, and living in a trailer with his mother.
this is certainly not FR. It is quite well run. If it were not, there would be hundreds of voices shouting, spitting, and clamoring. The writer must be talking about DU. Should I read the rest of the article. The first sentence in tells me I should not.
Yes. The DU is, in mass, deluded as is the DNC. This is a good thing becuase they react to these preconcieved notions and not facts, which gives us a huge advantage.
All of the analysis on the blogsphere by Hewitt, Buckhead, etc is spot on, but even the leftist blogs do not seem to reaize the simple truth of what they are reading. They just keep on keeping on...and on...and on...
While Kerry's poll numbers drop and libs like ellie clift wonder where the outrage is.
Excellent summary of what happened. I've sent it to my email list, including the liberals.
Maybe the opening reference to FR isn't flattering (and I agree he does it to pacify his liberal friends), but it's very, very helpful. It nails down the fact that the whole business started at FR. More important, it gives the link the forum. That will bring a lot of new visitors, many of them conservative given the readership of the Weekly Standard.
Some of them will stay, and become part of the knowledgeable FR community, the kind of people who can expose a forgery in no time flat.
I agree. And there are probably a couple of dozen other Freepers who deserve credit. Drudge was the chief link between the blogosphere and the MSM, but FR played an important role all week. It not only began on FR, but it was thrashed out on FR, constantly summarized and updated on FR, and probably would have died if FR hadn't continued to push it.
My thoughts exactly. The more hits that FR gets, the more folks that are likely to see the truth.
Hey Brian,
Glad you're still around!
pfesser, Member since 1997!!!!
Working on a book deal most likely. This story is huge. Bigger than watergate if the kinko thing points to a democrat tied to the kerry campaign (the cleland burkett tie).
If the president wins, and Rather and CBS tank (both more likely than not) several posters here will be on easy street (Howlin, TankerKC et al). More importantly, these folks will have done just as much to secure our freedoms as the military is doing. This is huge.
Wow. What a great article.
Just so ya'll will know, I'm ashamed
that Dan Rather is from Texas!
...but even the leftist blogs do not seem to reaize the simple truth of what they are reading. They just keep on keeping on...and on...and on...
Just to underscore:
But these liberal blogs function more like the old media than do their conservative Internet brethren. While blogs such as Power Line and Little Green Footballs and Instapundit were chasing the CBS story, interviewing experts, posting material as they found it--whether or not it supported the case against CBS--many of the liberal blogs went into entrenched-partisan mode.
Case in point DU
Image some spectator from the court of Louis IV of France or the Tsar's of Russia attending a congress of our Founding Fathers.
They would say the same thing about Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, etc arguing over the decisions of the day.
Much more efficent and orderly when everything is top down rather than from the People.
The internet has arrived.
That's a great comment. I'm glad for all the good comments of everyone who comes here to shout, spit and clamor for attention!
