Ex: Clinton's Legacy (Barf Alert)
I can see where it created a problem, but geez, some people need to lighten up. I doubt it was intentionally done to "forge" a headline. If you don't frequent these boards, you might not distinguish the diff. The author also could have pm'd the poster to at least ask why that was done.
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!
Uhm no. The charges made by the Swiftboat Vets were proven true by officers who served with Kerry, they were never discredited or proven false. Lots of Lefty's insist the swifties were discredited, but none have ever followed that charge with examples or proof. Wishing doesn't make it so.
Damn mods type faster than me too! Meanies! :)
"Yah, but brackets are commonly used at FR to add satire or disclaimers, and are known to be the poster's, not the authors. "
Yeah, I know now and have already apologized to presidio9.
