Cool.
Now I realize that within this new alternative media there exists some jealosy,. I sense that some people don’t want to give the blogosphere the full credit. They have to parcel it out because every body wants a piece of the action; this is quite normal, this is human nature. The fact of the matter is that it was the blogosphere and it was a couple of sites: Powerline and FreeRepublic. And FreeRepublic has been one of the most impugned blogs / websites in the history of websites by the very institution that has been brought down.
When Dan Rather talked about partisan political operatives, he means those who lurk at FreeRepublic. Who is FreeRepublic, it’s ordinary Americans – liberals look down at ordinary Americans, don’t know have enough decision making power, [?] do the right thing, not smart enough …
You don’t know how much it grates on them at CBS that its something like FreeRepublic or one of their chat rooms or one of the FReepers there or the Powerline … you have no idea that it irritates them that that kind of person brought them down. An average, ordinary untrained journalist that … you just do not know how this irritates them inside. More than the fact that they got caught, it’s who caught them that irritates them.
And, so just as I started out … I was a fad, and I was a liar, and I made it up and I was bad for America and I posed threats to democracy, as the cover of Time said. So now the same things are being said about the bloggers. Fox news has had its turn and we all continue rotating in the criticism carousel of the left.
Clean up required!:

thanks!
I heard El Rushbo...and I am proud as punch to be part of this great coalition of movers and shakers.
I have wondered if he's a lurker...
Yep.
LOL! I remember what this refers to . . .
Zeal in the cause of security is no vice.
And it's not merely a game, our hunting of trolls.
It's helping to police the threads for these cretinous people who would simply post something, burn JimRob's bandwidth, and who would waste our time and talents responding uselessly and in vain.
It's also rooting out those who wish nothing more than cause discord and division, who are miserable dweebs who can only feel powerful by making others diminished.
We have had newbie trolls, sleeper trolls, Discordians, and those who are just plain mean. We have had scam artists, and purposeful disruptors. I have had friends, and myself, fall prey and victim to them in the past - but never again.
Because "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
Welcome!
"The Iron Triangle of the NEW MEDIA."
Woo-woo! Das what I'm talkin' bout'!
"Rush said the BLoggers on FreeRepublic aka The Pajama Hadeen took down CBS!"
Does that make us FRoggers?
And a hearty "Welcome To Free Republic!" to you!
This is just great~ I always listen to Rush and I always read FR and Drudge every day.
Kewl! I love mugs. On my desk is the "Interstate W-04" mug. Please PING me if something concrete comes along...badge or mug (or anything else). I appreciate it.
I think we are the Pajamahadeen Froggers?
I caught Rush's remarks live on the radio, also the caller who immediately preceded Rush's references to FReepers. Did anyone besides me suspect the caller may have been a FReeper? :-D
I missed something. What's this "pajama" thing all about?
Thanks! I'm learning to nav here... ;)
