The O'Malley Affair- NCPAC, MD4Bush, Ehrlich, & more

click here for more info back story licks there as well as better discussion :)

Jim Robinson's short and cryptic reply re what really happened in the Md Gov mess and Free Republic:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1341174/posts?page=20#20

MD4Bush posted, "Yeah, he cheats on his wife. I heard that he is not allowed in the house and is living in some new high-rise near city hall." link

NCPAC posted that no one can figure out how he was outed. link

What we do know-- MD4Bush was the source of some FR mails the WP got. You can see that from his gloating posts on 02/08/2005. link Looking back at his posts now he was a provacatuer and is from MD. link. The only reasonable surmise is that this was a Democratic partisan in the area. Nobody outside the MD area is going to be interested in something like this. At the time of the threads on O'Mally we had several new posters commenting on it and they have not been back. link

The Law of the Blogger -- This is why I switched from legacy media to the web as my primary news source. You cannot get away with inaccuracies, spin, or even a mild manipulation of readers like this without someone immediately taking you to task. This is why the Blogisphere is so much more reliable than the legacy media.

Recent update - NCPAC apparently posted from his office computer, so all someone had to do was go through the firewall logs. The computer has been seized by the Attorney General's office (BTW, the AG is Mayor O'Malley's father-in-law).

I often FReep from work, so I have to be VERY careful not to post anything that could be taken out of context if someone decides to investigate my Web use.

I may have missed this - I have not been through all the relevant threads - but I heard Frank DiFilippo (Democrat reporter and former Governor's Press Secretary) say that he heard the rumors about O'Malley when there were no Republicans within 10 miles. He would not say who talked to him or when, but I would guess either one of Doug Duncan's people or one of Kathleen Kennedy Townsend's.
