BUMP... and you probably even missed some

The idiot Democrats figured they would use the truth (New Media) to their advantage.

They were wrong. I imagine some IP traces are being conducted from CA as we speak.

[Carling]

I regret to add this, but this also shows how easy it is for the Democrats to invalidate the content on this board. A few 'newbies' can try and smear an entire site, and they can have the Washington comPost back them up on it.

I bet the comPost has a major role in this, and I'd guess this wasn't a crapshoot.

You missed a link to Kristinn's post about the number of articles in the WashPost about this.

Bookmarked!

What amazes me is that they used FR like this.

We would not be interested in this inane gossip about a dem mayor, so that sorta misdirected me until I figured out they were setting up the Governors hatchet man, according to what they believed him to be.

They claim he was cleaning out the dem partisans from the admin.

It was pay back. It was a skirmish which they won.

I was impressed!

The evidence that NCPAC will need to file his expected libel suit against certain parties is accumulating qute nicely...

Thank you so much, backhoe.
I'm book marking this thread.
I know you will be adding links
as you get them.

It's very good to see you.
I hope you are doing well. ;o)

You rock backhoe. Next time I get down your way the fishing's on me.

BALTIMORE SUN HAS PROVED ITS OWN LIBERAL BIAS-

"Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry was having an affair. But when the mainstream media began chasing that story, it proved groundless."

--There were several sources out there stating that they knew about the affair. Mainstream media did not chase the story. They only stated what Kerry and the Girl stated.


"Rumors of O'Malley's alleged infidelity have long circulated in Baltimore but were not printed in such daily newspapers as The Sun or The Washington Post. "

--Why has the Baltimore Sun and the Washington Post refused to look into the "rumors". Shouldn't they post accountings of their investigative reporting and research on the issue....

BUMP
Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks for the recap. The longer the suspense, the greater the fall!

Managing a rumor [O'Malley "had cheated on his wife"] quietly, then openly

SHAMELESS RHETORIC OF THE DAY: MARTIN O'MALLEY By Michelle Malkin   ·   February 09, 2005 01:48 PM

snip... On a separate note, O'Malley was caught up in this very unpleasant story involving a conservative activist/aide to Maryland Gov. Bob Ehrlich who apparently spread rumors of infidelity by O'Malley in e-mails and on FreeRepublic.com, where other posters were engaging in speculation about O'Malley's private affairs. Gov. Ehrlich deserves credit for immediately firing the rumor-mongerer (who posts on FreeRepublic today here). Some GOP insiders are complaining about the timing of the story and seem to be justifying the rumor-spreading on the Internet by noting that the rumors have been floating around the capitol for a while. That doesn't make the whisper campaign right. I feel very badly for O'Malley's wife and kids, who reportedly have had to face these ugly rumors at school. O'Malley's to blame, his critics will say. Maybe so, but it's the O'Malley family's own damned business, and no one else's.

from "Show Biz Ireland"

And just to show just how much of a desirable place Dublin is for musicians The Mayor of Baltimore - the much tipped future President of The USA (yes you heard it here first), Martin O'Malley brought his bulging biceps and rockin' tunes to Eamon Dorans to show there is still some soul in politics... Good Man yerself!

Lawyer Martin O'Malley, Balitmore's youngest ever Mayor, also leads O'Malley's March, an Irish folk rock band which has played in town pubs for the last 12 years.

Thanks for bring this all together, backhoe!

A true cautionary tale for FReepers. NCPAC had a bunch of enemies in the MD dems and their media enablers. I'm sure he felt pretty secure here at FR among fellow FReepers. Unfortunately, the other side has some crafty and unethical operatives. I've got to give them some credit here, it was a sneaky little ploy and well executed.

Take care FRiends.

[backhoe]

Ehrlich all for investigation of fired aide

Excellent job of indexing as usual. This is my favorite:

"I've got some very interesting information for the governor's investigation regarding the Maryland Democrat Party dirty trickster that setup Steffen and the Washington Post reporter er, Democrat operative that was working in concert with him. Almost hoping to receive a subpoena."
