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.
FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - "Po-Jama People"
Some people's hot
Some people's cold
Some people's not very
Swift to behold
Some people do it
Some see right through it
Some wear pyjamas
If only they knew it
The pyjama people are boring me to pieces
Feel like I am wasting my time
They all got flannel up 'n down 'em
A little trap-door back aroun' 'em
An' some cozy little footies on their mind
Po-jama people!
Po-jama people, people!
They sure do make you sleepy
With the things they might say
Po-jama people!
Po-jama people, people!
Mother Mary 'n Jozuf, I wish they'd all go away!

The really ironic thing about PMSNBC's contempt for us is that the whole original vision of that crap network was this supposed synergy between NBC and Microsoft - the merging of news and information technology.
Heck, remember when John Gibson had his show there, they had some dreadlocked guy who was the "internet correspondant" who basically sat around reading emails.
I think their contempt stems from the fact that their original vision is now flat as a pancake, steamrolled by the right and the truth. They are truly Old Media in spirit, if not in age.
Let their network of lies die with CBS and the rest

Have Pajamas---Just need to take the course--"Bloggering for Idiots"--?!
Heard the Rush kudos for Free Republic!
We love you Rush!!!!
I checked the stats last week and there were about 50 percent more new registrations than is normal, beginning the day after Rathergate broke (Saturday). Haven't checked recently but it went on most of last week.
Just hearing it in Milwaukee. Delayed an hour on WISN 1130 AM
I was think that Rush screen name would be the Maharushie.
Please stick around - who knows what may come up in the future that you may be a part of.... Who could have guessed a few months ago that we would need "experts" in the field of typewriters ???
Adding my appreciation and love to Rush!!!!
recording now ... will transcribe (WBAP 1 hour delay)
I thought someone already posted that Rush's screen name was realrush.
ThankyouThankyouThankyou!!!!
Be vigilant. 5 weeks left.
I adore Rush. The only show I will catch 3 hours a day, every day.
Just realized in props I forgot to thank the creator of the site! Thank you Jim Robinson!
Well if you hang aroud FR and then listen to his show almost everything heard on his show was on Fr before the show. I think that most people can connect the dots.
Hm. Wonder if anyone in WWII wanted to be exhorted to go Kamikaze (besides the Japanese)?
Viva la Pajamahadeen!
Ehhhh...I'm not so wild with having our efforts labelled in the same category of the Islamist Mujahideen.
"I think Freepers should agree on a name. Pajama Brigade, Pajama Patrol, Pajama Squad"
You'd have a better chance at herding cats that getting a concensus on a silly name around here.
imo
BEing repeated right now on WBAP.com
Thankfully, you heard wrong. Rush referred to it as the "Pajama Brigade."
