"The salivating morons who make up the lynch mob prevail."

This, perhaps, explains why I need to replace my keyboard so often. As for lynch mob the term media frenzy pops to mind as I consider some recent big trials, scandals, and Dan Rather's faux pas.

Add "salivating morons" to the mainstream media's growing canon of stupid things to say about the ever-vigilant bloggers.

C'mon! Get it right! It's "salivating morons in pajamas"! Geez! :)

Well, at least the Corrupt Old Media won't stoop to using deception and subterfuge (read: reporters operating under the FR moniker "MD4Bush") to force the firings of those "salivating morons" on web sites like Free Republic such as posters like "NCPAC."

I'd hate for the Corrupt Old Media to go after such Free Republic posters as NCPAC or Jeff Gannon, after all, much less after Swift Boat Vets who post here, after the Corrupt Old Media decried such "headhunting" by "lynch mobs."

By the way, Bob Beckel did his whacked out angry/lib/hack routine on Hannity and Colmes this night. Bob was all bent out of shape about "the blogger" and their effect on poor Eason Jordan of CNN. He was quite offended about the new growing power of places like this (board). Twice he angrily used the phrase "Lynch Mob Bloggers". It was hilarious.

Also, somewhere else it was noted that David Broder said what happened to Jordan was "overkill". I'd say his resignation was way overdue. Jordan, it is said, was quoted in The Guardian back in November saying much the same things as he did at the economic meeting.

Interesting, eh?

Millions upon Millions of "vigilant bloggers" and 100,000 registered "Angry Freepers" will overcome the incompetence of a liberal MSM every time.

An aware, hungry and growing giant has been awoken and it isn't going back to bed.
Somebody better call housekeeping and alert the kitchen.

Add also, as loath as we are to do so, the Wall Street Journal's editorial comment from yesterday that professional journalism, of which it proclaims membership, is much better than "the enthusiasms and vendettas of amateurs."
Wasn't every reporter who has ever written for them an amateur at some point in time? And isn't enthusiasm a desired trait in reporters?
Has the WSJ gone Native American? Should they be called "Running Scared" now as well? Maybe they're worried about someone counting coup on them as well and they're concerned about it.

"The salivating morons who make up the lynch mob prevail."

Sounds like the sort of thing old King George III would have said about the time Cornwallis got himself bottled up on the peninsula.

The Washington Times is so refreshing. Maybe it's because they don't lie to the readers like the main of the presstitutes. As such, the WT does not fear (and hence attack and try to discredit) bloggers and the collective citizen investigative reporters here on FreeRepublic.

Memo to MSM: Your days are over. Get used to it. Better yet, start being 'fair and balanced' (*snicker*) and maybe we'll start trusting you again in another decade or so once we are satisfied with your bona fides....
