Dang -- good analysis.

I wish there was a MSM outlet that would publish your thoughts. They are clearer than JG and certainly more cogent.

Some things about being a Liberal: You don't need facts and you don't need internal consistency.

They say so many things yet so little in that interview.

And none of her assertions are challenged in the interview. It is a clever bit of propaganda to smear this site.

She used the word FReep but never discussed FReeps, what they are (rallies or voting in a poll), and why they matter (or don't). Just used a buzzword and moved on.

As to the online poll activity, everyone does it. Rats influence the visibility of stories on Yahoo News by voting up/down stories on the war, abortion, etc. DUmmies will out a FReep of a poll while insisting that it is okay to DUmp on that same poll. MSNBC even posted an "editorial comment" linking back to an FR FReep This Poll thread when one of their polls didn't go their way (Are you a Bush Basher?).

MSNBC didn't care that Omar Chouhardy (one of the men stopped in that Florida toll roll bomb threat case) had ISLAMmed one of their polls with other Muslims to place Mohammed as the world's most popular philosophical figure (the activity came up when I googled his name as the story broke, the forum thread where he boasted of his activity no longer exists on his college's servers).

So if she takes issue with FReeping polls, she is petty and establishing a double standard. If she is referring to the FReeper rallies, then she is opposing our public activism. I guess we aren't permitted to gather and stand our ground.

Little despot.
