The WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team has uncovered new information surrounding the mysterious Web user known as MD4Bush.
In private e-mail exchanges, MD4Bush coaxed Joe Steffen, a former aide to Gov. Bob Ehrlich, into discussing rumors about Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley's personal life on the conservative Web site, FreeRepublic.com.
The 11 News I-Team has uncovered e-mail addresses used to register the MD4Bush account on the Free Republic Web site. The 11 News I-Team does not know who opened the MD4Bush account.
According to a source familiar with the MD4Bush postings, the e-mail address used in October 2004 to open the MD4Bush account is: ryanrock2004@yahoo.com.
Sources said that e-mail address was later changed to rodoherty@mddems.org, then changed for a third time to brianwaverly@yahoo.com. That third e-mail address remains as the address registered on the Free Republic account, which remains open.
Free Republic Web founder Jim Robinson refused to publicly disclose the electronic trail of MD4Bush; however, he authorized a statement weeks ago, as follows:
"Free Republic has evidence that an mddems.org e-mail address is associated with the MD4Bush account. This is not just coincidence," Free Republic spokeswoman Kristinn Taylor said.
According to Free Republic, anyone who has the password to the MD4Bush account could change the e-mail registration address at any time. It is not known how many people may have had access to that password.
MD4Bush used e-mails to coax former gubernatorial aide Joe Steffen into discussing rumors on a conservative Web site about the personal life of Baltimore's mayor. The e-mail address information obtained does not shed light on the actual users of the MD4Bush account, nor does it reveal whether someone attached the Ryan O'Doherty e-mail address to the account without his knowledge.

I don't know about that, his picture has been posted often enough.
Bookmark and BTTT.
this story isn't going to go anywhere. All the media in Md love O'Malley, hate Ehrlich and W, and will paint poor Jim Robinson, however well intentioned he might be, as some right-wing cook. They will simply bury the story without a smoking gun.
Hi Jim, I didn't know you were a right-wing cook. LOL
I was thinking that they would try to portray all Freepers as a bunch of right wing nuts, that should be laughed at.
yes, but in Md it will probably work.
I can believe it. I live in WA State, probably just about as liberal.
Good post, thanks.
A right wing cook in a right wing restaurant?
And Absalom no better felt nor worse,
But with his mouth he kissed her naked arse
Right greedily, before he knew of this.
Aback he leapt- it seemed somehow amiss,
For well he knew a woman has no beard;
He'd felt a thing all rough and longish haired,
And said, "Oh fie, alas! What did I do?"
"Teehee!" she laughed, and clapped the, window to;
And Absalom went forth a sorry pace.
"A beard! A beard!" cried clever Nicholas,
"Now by God's corpus, this goes fair and well!"
This hapless Absalom, he heard that yell,
And on his lip, for anger, he did bite;
And to himself he said, "I will requite!"
Who vigorously rubbed and scrubbed his lips
With dust, with sand, with straw, with cloth, with chips,

What kind of scummy public official sends people to spread nasty rumors about himself?
bfl
That was very clear to understand. Have any of the MSM picked up this story, given it's been a few hours?

Ryan O'Doherty has ties with a man named Douglas Duncan through a group called Citizens for Quality Living a group representing real estate developers. Both men were members of the group. Duncan is a fellow Democrat but is a political foe of Baltimore Mayor O'Malley
Aha. Douglas Duncan. he man who is opposing Marty in the primary. The man who would benefit the most from spreading false rumors about O'Malley, then getting Republican Governor Robert Ehrlich blamed for it.
At the time, I said that this looked like a Duncan operation. This information tends to support that.

I've always appreciated your efforts with FR. All the more now that I know you are also making sure that the trash is regularly cleaned up. Merry Christmas.
Calling you out, MD4Bush, AKA Ryan O'Doherty, Democrat operative. You are again exposed. I hope you're proud of yourself, because you're going down.
