[[You DO NOT post a personal rant on the FR, refer to the FR to an audience that, from the context of the article, isn't reading it on the Free Republic, and pretend it's a real article. It's a fake. And manipulation.]]
Personal rant ? I thought I was posting an opinion. I do not think I singled out any individuals in the original, though it is apparent it hit close to home for some, gauging by their reactions.
Because I referred to Free Republic by name instead of using 'here', makes it a fake ? I made many punctuation, grammatical and spelling errors, but there was no 'fake'. I did not attribute it to another source or another author, those would be your basic clues. I think it is more a case of comprehension and not manipulation. Quite obviously you disagree with my opinion, but rather than address it substantively, you chose to take this direction.

That's the Mary Mapes school of thought for you. Don't question that it was a fake, but only what you are spinning.
