FREEPER SALUTE TO JOURNALIST TOM LIPSCOMB --- he made a difference

Some of you may be familiar with his work. I have read much of it during this election cycle. Tom Lipscomb should win a Pullitzer Prize for the investigative journalism he has done during the last year.

Lipscomb writes for the New York Sun and did incredible investigative work regarding John Kerry and what Kerry has been hiding. Some of his best work was exposing what happened in November of 1971 when Kerry attended a VVAW meeting in Kansas City. At that meeting, the hierarchy of his anti-war organization actually discussed a plan to assassinate U.S. Senators who supported the Vietnam War.

I've had the pleasure to have several phone conversations with Lipscomb. When I told him that his reporting could really help the President, his response was that he would leave that to me. He said that he was a journalist, not an advocate.

Here's to you, Mr. Lipscomb. Now, how about some good investigative journalism about Hillary Rodham Clinton? I'll know what to do with it.

Tom Lipscomb is a great reporter, not afraid to report the facts even when he knew he would be hammered by the MSM. Good job Tom...

Thanks to Lipscomb.

I hope the question of who wrote the after action report that supported Kerry's Bronze Star will get debated and settled.

I suspect that Tom has several good reports yet to do on the junior senator from Massachusetts.

Pay attention, Doug. Maybe he should win a Pulitzer instead of a Pullitzer. :)
