Not that I am suggesting such a thing, but wouldn't it be funny if lots and lots of people continue doing just that on Larry's site, not that I would ever suggest or endorse such an idea....... :^)
People offer him his own words and he bans them, what kind of nonsense is that?
Arnett should have had his work permit revoked after that Tailwind story! I'm all for a free press, but I'm also for people taking responsibility for their actions. Our "journalists" long ago quit reporting and engage in pontificating.
I find it ironic that so many journalists adopt a tone of feigned righteous indignation in demanding accountability from the government, but when their own accountability is called to account (as with Arnett's behavior or any number of other stories) they display a complete unwillingness to accept criticism from the public whose interests they supposedly guard. For instance Rather is still resentful of "right-wing bloggers" because CBS failed to hoodwink us over the National Guard story; yet I'm sure if CBS had caught Bush in a similar fraud he would've felt very proud of CBS' "investigative journalism". Evidently for certain media dinosaurs some investigative reporting is more equal than others.
Do you mean something like this? It's been there without reaction for 15 minutes so far......

Looks like the same post I read earlier in the day.
Sen. Saxby Cambliss, R-Ga., current committee member: "The fact of the matter is, even though he claims to have gained a lot of that expertise by serving on the senate intelligence committee, during his eight years of service on the intelligence committee there were forty-nine public hearings held by the intelligence committee, and John Kerry was absent from thirty-eight of those forty-nine hearings. That does not include the classified hearings. ... And I would hope that he would agree to release to you the record of his attendance at meetings and hearings of the Senate Intelligence committee over the last year and a half, or his total service on that committee." (Republican National Committee And Bush-Cheney '04, "Transcript of Wednesday, July 28, 10 a.m. Republican Press Conference," Press Release, 7/28/04)
Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., former committee member: “The other illustration of lack of leadership with regard to this issue is the question of the intelligence. And since I served on the Intelligence Committee with Senator Kerry for eight years I believe, I call for him to disclose his attendance at the briefings and hearings of the Intelligence Committee. The classified briefings and hearings of course are not on our public record, but he could make his attendance public. He missed 38 out of 49 of the public hearings, and those are the hearings most people want to be seen at, but he missed those. John Edwards was on the Committee and came on later, and he missed half of the public hearings as well. But I think that they should both disclose their record of attendance in the Intelligence Committee.” (Bush-Cheney ’04, “Remarks By U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl And U.S. Rep. Scott McInnis During Today's Bush-Cheney '04 Conference Call,” Press Release, 8/7/04)

Kerry was getting CLASSIFIED info from Rand Beers!!!!!!
Tyler Drumheller...Mr SHIFTY EYES!!! What a LIAR!!
Laura Ingraham was really ragging on him on her radio show today...
She said he looked like Webb Hubbell..and asked how the CIA could possibly let their agents get so out of shape...LOL
LOL!! However, I would prefer to have a FAT PATRIOT in lieu of a Skinny TRAITOR!! This Drumheller was SHIFTY.
Funny, it wasn't me..... but someone must like to remind Larry and his audience of what tremendous insight and foresight their guru is possessed......
Check out article linked below..... 'Source' says Mary McCarthy fired for "pattern of behavior"....
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1620925/posts?page=13#13
One never knows what's really going on with all the anonymous sources commenting about anonymous sources. Still, IF there's something to this article, that would seem to suggest that Typhoid Mary was not the main or sole inside source for any of these leaks (which many of us suspected - she very likely has plenty of help leaking secrets). It may be that she played more of a 'background' source the way the infamous "Deep Throat" was often portrayed, of confirming or denying certain lines of inquiry, guiding the reporter(s) without actually turning over classified docs, etc. Maybe she thought she was being clever, maybe she was playing shepherd to the sheep (both MSM libs and traitors within the CIA, etc.).
If the "pattern of behavior" claim holds true then she may not be the main culprit at all but one of several aiders and abettors.
Whatever the details turn out to be, if there were good grounds to fire her over this then she should be doing some serious jail time!! And she should have to turn over all her accomplices if she hopes to bargain with the special prosecutor who ought to be appointed any day now???
I'm starting to believe there are more traitor revelations coming ..........
Are we seeing a "non-denial denial" from Mary McCarthy via Rand Beers in her 2nd-hand statement today?
The "pattern of behavior" claim (stopping short of claiming any specific leak from her) may also explain her so-called 'categorical' denial that she was THE LEAKER.... again, assuming she's not just outright lying (which is always a reasonable presumption when dealing with Clintonista hacks), she may think she is being artful......
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1620891/posts
It's the old "non-denial denial" so well practiced in DC: make a very specific denial in wording that may be (according to someone's construal) literally true, while you are squirting black ink like a squid all over the larger picture. SO, maybe just maybe she did not turn over any specific piece(s) of information or document(s) to any reporters..... instead, her role was to play guide and mentor to Dana Priest (and others?)..... perhaps they had a secret signal so that Thyphoid Mary could affirm or deny the validity of certain assertions and lines of inquiry without actually uttering the words..... that way, in a Clintonesque manner, Mary may feel her conscience is salved when she says "I DID NOT HAVE TREASONOUS INTERCOURSE WITH THAT REPORTER, MISS PRIEST".........
If she wasn't the main culprit...and only an aider or abettor...then that means some BIG ONES...are yet to fall, doncha think??
Surely, they know who she aided...can't wait!
My response to that thread
"A congressional aide said that prior to the public revelation that a CIA employee had been fired, the intelligence committees were only told the person was a 61-year-old female in the inspector general's office. "
The intell committee had a heads up huh?

WASHINGTON — The new chief of the CIA's venture capital organization, In-Q-Tel, has resigned after just four months on the job.
Amit Yoran, who was the government's cybersecurity chief until he left that job in 2004, said Monday he stepped down for personal reasons.
The role of In-Q-Tel's chief executive requires significant travel, and Yoran and his wife — a U.S. government lawyer — have three young daughters.
Yoran said he agreed with In-Q-Tel's board to continue working as a consultant and adviser.
In-Q-Tel — named for "Q," the fictional inventor of spy tools and toys for James Bond — makes about a dozen such investments annually with roughly $60 million it receives from the CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the FBI and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
One might wonder if he was laundering some of that money to people like Mary McTraitor to donate to Kerry and the rats in Ohio or to fund trips to Niger by Joe Wilson.
