A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997. Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.
A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY
If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.
We're having fun and hope you are!

The O'Donnell Factor
by JohnHuang2
I know I'm going to get pulled into the grand jury for saying this but the source for Lawrence O'Donnell was . . . Bill Burkett.
One press report asserts that 'Rove-Gate' "is fast becoming the Administration's worst scandal since taking office..."
Really? Then this would be bigger than Bush's last "worst scandal," Downing Street Memo-gate, and bigger than the last "worst scandal" before that, Gitmo-gate, and bigger than the last "worst scandal" before that, Jeff Gannon-gate, and bigger than the last "worst scandal" before that, Diebold-gate, etc. Strange. Seems like Bush has a "worst scandal since taking office" every few weeks. Thank goodness there's no liberal media!
Off his meds and out of the straightjacket for the first time in months, O'Donnell, "senior" MSNBC "analyst," told the McLaughlin Group Friday that TIME mag e-mails will prove once and for all that Karl Rove was The Source -- Matt Cooper's source -- the Mastermind behind the 'outing' of Valerie Plame, the CIA "operative" in the agency's department of incompetence and intel failures. As part of her cover, Plame for years worked as a desk jockey in some front company with a sign out front: "CIA Headquarters." (Located on the corner of Keystone and Kops.) And posed for cover photos in Vanity Fair. So meticulous was Plame about her covert status, only the entire D.C. social set knew. (The New York Times reports that, "after a year's unpaid leave," she's "returned to a new job" at CIA, examining possibilities like: What would things be like if the Soviet Union dissolved? What if Saddam ever invaded Kuwait? What if CIA analysts were competent?)
Plame, you'll recall, sent her husband Joe Wilson off to Niger so she could lay off the antidepressants for a while. After a thorough tea-sipping probe to see if there was anything to these silly rumors about Saddam shopping for nuke material, the tea-sipper filed his now discredited report with the New York Times, whining that Bush was ignoring the tea-sipper. And trying to frame an innocent dictator. Days later, Plame gets "outed" in "retaliation." The press, which knows who leaked the name, soon demands that DOJ name a Special Counsel to find out who leaked the name, vowing to resist telling the Special Counsel who leaked the name, even if it means doing hard time chained to the floor listening to Christina Aguilera in Bush's gulag.
According to liberals, Rove can secretly wire Bush up for debates, rig Diebold, mail anthrax, engineer tsunamis, bring down Wellstone's plane, melt polar ice caps, build pyramids at Abu Ghraib, dress up as Lucy Ramirez to frame Dan Rather's 'Unimpeachable Source' Bill Burkett, paste a beard on and play Ayman al-Zawahri in those fake al-Qaeda videos, then flush the Koran with no hands, never once getting busted -- except, of course, by posters at Democraticunderground. Remember the moon landing? Fake. Karl Rove again. Probably had a hand in Princess Diana's car crash. Rove can do all this, but forgets that you don't 'out' CIA 'operatives' by e-mailing TIME reporters directly from the White House, as O'Donnell alleges. You e-mail from the Grassy Knoll.
Bear in mind that, in Washington circles, O'Donnell is taken seriously. It's not like he writes episodes for some fantasyland political drama or two short-lived TV series.
Following up on his McLaughlin Group 'Rove revelation,' unveiled two years after Joe Wilson's 'Rove revelation' (a revelation Wilson later retracted), O'Donnell on Saturday blogged the following at the Huffing&Puffington Post: "I revealed in yesterday's taping of the McLaughlin Group that Time magazine's e-mails will reveal that Karl Rove was Matt Cooper's source. I have known this for months but didn't want to say it at a time that would risk me getting dragged into the grand jury."
I read this and my gut reaction was: That's a lie, O'Donnell! Keep lying, it's all you do! Lies! You lie about documents endlessly! You're just lying about it! You have no standards, O'Donnell! Point to his name in the report! You liar! Creepy liar! Just tell me the initials, you liar! You are a liar who makes things up! You want the lies! That's how you make your living, on lies!
Oh wait -- that wasn't me, that was O'Donnell! He was on Scarborough Country back in October, offering his sober and thoughtful opinions on Swift Boat Vet John O'Neill's book, while having a meltdown. Poor dear. This was just before he joined Michael Moore at the nuthouse. To get therapy.
Blogging further, O'Donnell Saturday made this startling prediction: "I know Newsweek is working on an 'IT'S ROVE!' story and will probably break it tomorrow." I knew then Rove would be absolved.
In a piece headlined, The Rove Factor?, Newsweek's retractable Michael Isikoff, crawling gingerly out of a Gitmo toilet bowl after searching fruitlessly for flushed Korans, dropped his 'IT'S ROVE!' bombshell this way: "It is unclear . . . what passed between Cooper and Rove." Breathtaking, I know. Not. But let's not get too picky. O'Donnell got the 'IT'S ROVE!' part right, like in 'It's unclear if IT'S ROVE!' Had he put it this way, O'Donnell would have had the whole McLaughlin Group McLaughing.
What is clear is that O'Donnell is an idiot. The TIME e-mails, rather than being largely between Cooper and Rove, are "largely between Cooper and his editors," with Cooper mentioning Rove as someone he talked to. No evidence Rove leaked the name. But in O'DonnellWorld:
- The fact that a liberal reporter like Matt Cooper is fighting this proves how committed liberal reporters are to the principle of not betraying Karl Rove! They can't wait to go to jail for Karl Rove.
- In Campaign '04, the media pulls out all the stops to get horseface elected, even to the point of airing phony Nat'l Guard records, but the media sat on a bombshell like this out of loyalty to Karl Rove. Must protect The Architect!
- Karl Rove signed a waiver releasing reporters he's talked to, e-mailed, cellphoned, smoke-signaled, decoder-ringed, telepathed, etc. from any confidentiality agreements, which allows them to testify (no confidentiality agreement, no case to withhold info), but you know the New York Times -- that paper'd never give up Karl Rove!
- Matt Cooper called Karl Rove. Karl Rove did not call Matt Cooper. So Rove must've made some telepathic connection with Cooper. ('Cooooooooper, please call me, I want to illegally leak the name Valerie Plame. Have a notepad handy!')
Since Rove has testified before the grand jury and has released reporters to testify, Rove can't be The Source. Since Plame's CIA gig was widely known in D.C., there was no "leak." These reporters aren't protecting a leaker. They're protecting a comrade. Joe Wilson. The whole thing was the first botched attempt to create a mega-scandal to affect an election. The second was Rathergate. In both cases, political operatives schemed to 'get Bush' and used "reporters" as cutouts in their operation. Both operations soon backfired. The "reporters" end up going to jail or getting fired. Since libbies are delusional, they then suspect their 'get Bush' operation was really Rove's idea! Rove, roving secretly in O'Donnell's head, made O'Donnell think it was Rove who was the source of the "leak" in order to protect the real source of the "leak": Lucy Ramiriz!
I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse me -- got Rove on the phone to plan our next project. Bye now!
Anyway, that's...
My two cents

Oh, my, Dear John!!
Reading through your latest great essay, everything suddenly went black, kinda like on an old tube TV screen -
flashed back on then to a
Fantasy Island image!!
There were the central characters, Mr. Roarke and Tattoo --
,
and Tattoo was exclaiming "Da Plane! Da Plane!!"
Ricardo Baby had to 'splain, "No, Tattoo -
da FLAME! da FLAME!!
is what JH2 will be writing about down the long road!!
======================================
Sorry, but I musta dozed on and off for a long time, because there was another flashback, John -- was on the playground back in the 4th grade, and The Other Side was chanting madly,
"Red Rover, Red Rover - send Karl Rove over!!"
They sounded so mean, and the faces seemed somewhat familiar, and I was confused 'cause we didn't even have a Karl on our side...
Coming back from Unreal to to Real Time, I realized they were children who grew up and became the Nancy and Tom and Barbara and Joe and Harry and Teddy we know too well --- still mad and mean -- still forming The Other Side --
Just look at 'em --
--
--
Found something very interesting
about advice given Teddy!!
and just look at this about Harry!
-- LOLOL
======================================
Afraid that's all the dirt digging I can do - Editor Miss Billie has another urgent assignment for me, John, and I hafta run --
thanks for the laughs!

Today's
ElijahList contains a word from Chuck Pierce.
You might remember he is the prophet who published in September 1999 a prophecy about the 2000 Presidential Election - about the sections of Florida around which it would center - the delay, like an election in the 1800's was delayed when Florida's votes had to sail from West Palm Beach around to the Gulf of Mexico, and then over land to get them delivered to Tallahassee to count!
It all came true...
Here is today's interesting article --

July 7, 2005
Chuck Pierce on London Attacks: "I was awakened this morning at 4:30 am, unable to breathe . . . "
by Chuck D. Pierce
Glory of Zion International Ministries
www.glory-of-zion.org
Dear Friends:
I was awakened this morning at 4:30 am, unable to breathe. Around 5 am, the Lord told me to turn on the television and watch the news. I had been praying about our trip to England that I leave on this afternoon. When I turned on the news, Tony Blair was making the statement that London has been attacked by terrorists. The underground transportation network and bus network in central London had been suspended due to several bombings. Actually, the bus that was shown on the news that had been attacked was very close to the hotel we are scheduled to stay in.
TODAY IS THE 40TH DAY
Here is the word I gave 40 days ago concerning London and Great Britain:
HERE .
If you remember, when we returned from Nigeria in late May, the Lord had us stop in London overnight and I spoke at a County Tour meeting in London County. I gave a very detailed word that within 40 days the nation would change. You can read the details from this report here: . TODAY IS THE 40th DAY! (click on this link)
When I was in England in May 2004, I gave a word about an 18 month window for the realignment of that nation. This realignment would set the course to determine the next seven years of spiritual activity. In that word, the Lord said, "Do not resist in this season of war. Raise your shield of faith high. Do not become complacent and sympathetic with the enemy that is in your land. If you do, your land will be overtaken . . . Governmental and social banquets should be watched carefully."
I believe the G8 Gathering that is going on in Scotland is very strategic to change a course of world finance. This bombing occurred at the beginning of that gathering.
WIN THROUGH VIOLENT PRAISE
We are returning to England because a gathering has been scheduled to begin today in London. This meeting is called AWAKEN. The purpose is to change the course of their nation. This meeting is hosted by Rod and Julie Anderson, and runs from tonight through the 10th. They share, "In an environment where for a few days we can all gather to pray and seek God, with no agenda, and no concrete schedule, we believe the synergy that takes place could birth much insight if we will have ears to hear. To create this atmosphere we need to pray and depend on God to awaken people's hearts to the 'Now Move' of the Spirit of God. God's word is all truth, but then there is the 'present truth' that the Lord wants us established in (2 Peter 1:12)." Other speakers include Dutch Sheets, and Tom & Jane Hamon. The team traveling with me consists of Dutch Sheets, Marty Cassady, Ginny Marks, Robert & Linda Heidler, Joe & Vonnie Askins, and Brian Kooiman. Then on Sunday night (July 10), I will be ministering at a citywide gathering in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In light of the upcoming marches (Protestant versus Catholic) that are scheduled to begin there next week, this is a key time to see the Body of Christ arise in a new way in Northern Ireland.
In a separate email I will be sending out the clear word that came forth in the most recent Tuesday morning prayer meeting that I lead. This is probably one of the most incredible words that I have received from heaven to direct us for this season. So be watching for this word. The Lord began by saying, "Many people are trying to use old methods of warfare to win the war they are in. The only way you will win the war from this point forth is through violent praise. You cannot win any other way ... If you do not shift now, you will not be able to see the nations shift. I am sending you back to the root of this nation. Shift the root through violent praise... This is the time to open up the window of your future. Do not go backward. For in the next 10 days if you retreat then you will see the window of your future close, you will find yourself on the wrong side of Jordan, and your promise will not be able to be maintained."
Blessings,
Chuck D. Pierce

"It's important ... that those engaged in terrorism realize that our determination to defend our values and our way of life is greater than their determination to cause death and destruction to innocent people and a desire to impose extremism on the world."
"Whatever they do, it is our determination that they will never succeed destroying what we hold dear in this country and in other civilizations in the world."
"We know that these people act in the name of Islam, but we also know that the vast and overwhelming majority of Muslims, here and abroad, are decent and law-abiding people who abhor this act of terrorism every bit as we do."
"When they try to intimidate us, we will not be intimidated
we will not be changed. When they try to divide our people or weaken our resolve, we will not be divided and our resolve will hold firm. We will show by our spirit and dignity ... our values will long outlast theirs."
~~~Tony Blair~~~GOD BE WITH OUR BRITISH FRIENDS IN THIS TIME OF SORROW! |
