The KKK were Democrats, so I don't see how you could make the connection to Free Republic.

In the book Mapes presents expert opinion and evidence that the accusation--all the stuff about typewriters, superscripts, proportional spacing and typefaces--was just wrong.

And if I close my eyes, click my heels and wish really hard my cat will sprout wings and turn into a flying unicorn and I can have mystical adventures like Harry Potter. Really.

Robert Byrd is a Democrat. He was a klansman.

WHAT?!?

Same problem, she must be blaming the DU folks, who are about as close as you can get to the old KKK -- Or Sen. (KKK) Byrd.

But the people who took her chair out from under her, weren't the KKK.

... Once she got back out there with the dogs, she said the neighborhood was a source of solace and strength.

I guess it does take a village. /sarc

I bet he voted no on Proposition 2 on Tuesday.

This is so delusional I don't even know where to start. Maybe with this:

"Another telling point to recall is that not even the high tribunal and commission set up by CBS to explore the issue was able to corroborate the accusations of fakery."

Does this jerk really think that the commission, which was set up and paid for by CBS itself, made any effort at all to prove that they were fakes? Their chief concern was to deflect the criticism and protect the corporation.

Besides, the apposite term isn't fakes. It's forgeries.

If they wanna say those documents were real, then they really cannot be dealth with. You have to be rock-hard stupid to think those documents could have been produced in the pre-pc age.

The fact that Mapes still cannot bring herself to admit this tells you all you need to know about her attitude toward anybody who disagrees with her. Just a little peek into the mind of the people who make the MSM news...

Go to the "last" of this, and work back- all the proof you ever need of "fake but accurate"--

Someday, someone will write a book and document how much destruction 60 Minutes wrought with all of its hidden camera exposes and phony consumer advocy. Will that be compared to the KKK too?

"extremists on the Internet are the Ku Klux Klan of today"

That fits Soros and his sycophants, perfectly!

The really sad thing about Memogate is that even if the documents had turned out to be real, it wasn't much of a story anyway. The zeal with which Mapes and Rather seized upon such a "nothing" story, while ignoring the Swifties' account of Kerry's service shows how myopic they had become in their efforts to "get Bush".

Well I guess under her own philosophy, she would have to come out and prove that we're wrong.

My point is that the anonymous haters and extremists on the Internet are the Ku Klux Klan of today.

And where do we find the most vile examples of hatred on the net?
