Talked to Kristinn tonight and he told me of the interview he had given for this piece. He wasn't sure what the angle was going to be.

I looked at MD4BUSH posts and he sure doesn't post like I would imagine an agent proveucater or mole would. I'll ping him to see if he will weigh in on (1)the reasons for his FReepmail to NCPAC and (2) if he forwarded NCPAC's replies to others or otherwise has any thoughts on how the private FReepmail was exposed.

The Baltimore Sun is now declaring war with Free Republic over the rumor. However, long-time posters on the Baltimore Sun's own web forum said that the rumors were repeatedly posted on that forum long before any known FR posting.

Click here to read a current discussion from BaltSun forum and indicating that the rumors were on that forum long before they appeared on Free Republic.

Apparently, the Sun would take down the posts, but perhaps one or more less prominent references to the rumors still remain on some old postings.

Any FReepers want to help find proof that the Baltimore Sun (BS) published the O'Malley rumor on its website talk forum before Free Republic? Click here and try to locate posts in the local news forum that are in July of 2004 or earlier and that mention the rumors.

TRICK: Apparently, BS pulled down threads specifically about the rumors. Therefore, the titles are unlikely to directly reference the rumors. Instead, any remaining posts of the rumors are likely to be down-thread.

The rumors coincided with the conviction of O'Malley's buddy and police commissioner Norris for using city funds for his mistress (mistresses?). Thus, a thread about the police corruption may have, buried within it, a comment about the Mayor behaving similar to the womanizing commissioner.

(And for the record, I don't endorse the O'Malley rumor nor even believe it. My point is to show that the BS website started this terrible plague of unsubstantiated, irresponsible postings, not FR.)

Just catching up, but I remember looking at a discussion off FR and believe it was the Sun forum. This is all BS and stinks from the word go. The rumor was around years before August and Sade's "accident". As I said at the time, I heard it from someone who works in Baltimore. It was around the watercoolers and was not limited to Sade - she was just the latest most serious because of the pregnancy. Even local radio was talking about the rumor. O'Malley outing this now, the WAPO and BS Stinks! O'Malley stinks!
Erlich is on 1090AM talking about this now.
