It tells the story of how Freepers exposed Dan Rather's fraudulent National Guard documents story during the 2004 presidential campaign.

If the rest of the book is as good as chapter 13, it’s definitely a must read.

We have power.

And we don't and won't take crap.

We can take down the RINO GOP Establishment, too, which is trying to force NON-CHOICE "choices" on us in the primaries, when we have perfectly good alternatives in guys like Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo.

Let us light a few prairie fires.

Now they could only watch in horror as ordinary citizens with computers tore the story apart.

Lets hope these minor league propagandists fade away before ordinary citizens tear them apart.

This is a beautiful documentation of Dan Rather's Waterloo. I'm pleased that it exists. Bookmarked.

You know this entire episode, along with the Swifties story, the Downing St. memo reaction, the Plame/Wilson incident, and countless other big media missteps during Bush 43 would make an EXCELLENT documentary. I just wish I had the time!

Hi, Scott. I figured this came from the book. I have a copy, and I'm holding it to read while I'm on vacation.

I served with your father back in the '60s, at Holloman AFB. He e-mailed me to say you were his son.

Good job.
