Dear Droppings (liberal yammers about FR to local paper, mentions presidio9 -am I famous now?)
(Montpelier) Times Argus ^ | December 29, 2005 | Rama Schneider

Posted on 12/30/2005 7:23:05 AM PST by presidio9

Just wanted to send a note and say hey and tell you about one of the darnedest things. And I gotta say it is one of the clearest examples of how CONservatives (not to be confused with honest conservatives) have managed to convince so many people so many lies are in fact the truth. This is indeed a rather mind numbing stor ... eh ... no ... actually it's what I'd expect.

So here's what happened, Droppings: Somebody with the screen name of "presidio9" picked up my piece Green diets vs. global warming and posted it on the Internet message board Free Republic (click here to read post). You'll note presidio9 added "(eating better may reduce the methane released into atmosphere)" to my title without attributing his/her editing to her/himself ... and it's an edit that had nothing to do with my topic! The pretense of discussion that follows turns out to be chatter about the title part presidio9 itself added, and the responses were to a point never made in the article.

Simply put they took a truth (the article), added something that was not true (change to the title) and then acted like it was the author, and not one of themselves, who made the change to the title.

Those on the Free Republic site don't even rate as amateurs, but there are indeed pros doing the same thing. Remember John Kerry, my dear Droppings, and those miserable swift boat claims? They took the truth that John Kerry served in Vietnam, received several decorations and was wounded several times ... added their own claims that Kerry wasn't at certain incidents or wounded himself or lied on official reports ... and then made a "mainstream" media assisted and huge uproar over the issues they raised ... issues that turned out to be false!

For the mother of all lies ... Saddam Hussein and Iraq ... it was a set of actors that included so many in such high governmental offices: President, Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense (my what a misnomer), National Security Adviser and on and on. Droppings, it was so easy for them to layer the false claims regarding WMD and ties to al Qaeda onto such a despicable and barbarous person as Hussein ... and they did and they did and they did ad nauseum ... such ad nauseum only matched by the obsequious press renditions of each and every lie.

Forewarned is fore armed I guess my dear Droppings, and understanding how CONservatives (not to be confused with honest conservatives) manipulate the truth is a good forewarning for all of us I'd say.

PS. Droppings ... make sure you read Frames (click here) too!

Yeah, I know now and have already apologized to presidio9.

HEY! Didn't you know that brackets are commonly used to editorialize in the title? Get with the program, mister!

"Ahh, no problem. I made a jacka$$ out of myself with my first response to presidio9 and have been braying in apology ever since"

Good man. And don't sweat the mistake. I make a jacka$$ out of myself all the time here :) And the mods are CRUEL because they won't allow an "edit post" feature here. *whines to mods* Meanies!

What a fitting name for a left wing blog.

LOL! I was about to say, there's something just *wrong* about the combination of the "Droppings" title and the subject matter of Rama's original article. ;)

During the sixties and seventies (last century), Vermont became a residence of choice for many Northeast hippies and leftists. Leftists like to congregate in places where they can control the local politics. Rama is either one of them or one of their offspring.

You'll note presidio9 added "(eating better may reduce the methane released into atmosphere)" to my title without attributing his/her editing to her/himself ... and it's an edit that had nothing to do with my topic!

What a typical LIEberal liar. First, the addition was in parenthesis, a typical FR thing and everyone knows it's a comment by the poster, and not from the original article.

Second, the comment IS relevant to the original article, which said: They also counted methane and nitrous oxide produced by cows, sheep and manure handling.

I guess LIEberals think that if they say it, it's true. We won't go back to the source and check them out. They must have some comprehension problem where every day is a new day and what they said before didn't really happen.

I posted a comment to the author on this article... and set him straight about FreeRepublic.

Needless to say... it was removed.

He actually has a point, in that you shouldn't have changed the title of the article.

I don't see the problem. His addition was in parentheses. I have always understood that whatever is in parentheses is the thread poster's additions, not a change to the original title. Kinda like adding (Barf Alert!). I am sure that "Barf Alert!" is never actually part of the original title.
