Look Danielle, considering B-HO's father was a Muslim and all available evidence suggests for some years he had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian step-father it shouldn't come as a surprise that such rumors (of him currently being a Muslim) flourish. That being the case, attempting to locate its origins is a fool's errand -- way too many sources.
Only if you FReep in the tradition of Einstein.
Seems she has causation chronology down. First, I would love to know how she 'deduced' that FReepers had a role in the email, and secondly, how does she not also come to the same conclusion that her 'evidence' is a reverse of the causation chronology- the FReepers reacting to an existing email?
Next, so what? Why can't the question be asked. The left always likes to dig into the religious beliefs of the right to try to find perceived 'hypocrisy'.
Finally, it is this reporter who is contributing to this story staying alive, I 'suspect' she may be part of the original story and it is in her interest, although unstated, to keep the story alive.
It sounds as if she is a member of a liberal “I’ll-tell-you-how-to-’Think Tank’!”
Now, I must have missed that Memo... I can accept this as a principle, but fundamental? A natural right, perhaps?
Does this tenured knucklehead believe freedom of speech means "right to be heard?" perhaps "right to opinion being legitimate?"
This is not science, this is hogwash fed into a computer and then counted, so that hogwash can then be expressed as mathematics... quantified hogwash.
Not content with being tenured and funded, even published, she takes her hogwash and actually wants it to become part of some policy debate about "fairness" no doubt.
As the late, great George Carlin once said, "there's no two ways about it. There's two sides to every story."
I've heard that he built a political career using dirty Chicago pols, convicted criminals, unrepentant terrorist murderers, racist churches, autobiographies of questionable accuracy, the intrusion into the personal lives of his political rivals, neo-fascist manipulation of a delusional national constituency etc., etc.. As for the tin foil stuff; it's probably true.

Therefore never send to know for whom the bells curves; it curves for thee.
I can only breathe with my mouth open, anyway, so I’m in
You in the press seem to be treating some on our side questioning this as if we are accusing someone of child rape. All some are asking is if he is being honest about his religious upbringing. Why not stand up and say “so what if he was a Muslim”? Your little witch hunt to find the origin confirms to many that you do think there is a problem with someone being a Muslim.
Wow, she is really on to something here. Apparently twenty one million people are in on this conspiracy. She is sooo smart...
Personalized Results 1 - 10 of about 21,000,000 for "Kuran".
Danielle Allen definitely has too much money and too much time on her liberal hands.
Oh, and the first result of “Kuran” actually pulls up an Islamic site, so they must be on the conspriacy too.

In the old days they would just cut out their tongue...my friend./s
BTW.... her whole thesis was disproven, because neither Freeper mentioned had anything to do with the e-mails. Therefore, her main objective was to chill discussion/ participation at FR, not to develop some pseudo -scientific methodology about information dissemination. Why would a “scientist” publicize a failed experiment?
It never occurs to these bozos that any system designed to stop "lies" will mostly end up being used to stop truth. Such is the history of censorship.
And is there any doubt that we will someday read a majority opinion from the Supremes that the 1st Amendment was never intended to provide protection to liars. It could happen any time that Justice Kennedy feels the urge. He has four solid votes right now so it is entirely up to him to decide. The writings of those evil Global Warming Skeptics would make a good case. Sadly.
She ought to spend more of her time investigating leftist websites, where they lie constantly.
No bias here:

See post #78 and you may understand.
The question people aren’t asking, is what do radical Muslims think ?
To THEM, Barack Obama is the son of a Muslim, and therefore, by many traditions, is a Muslim. Worse still, he now professes Christianity, which makes him, in their eyes, an apostate.
Consider THOSE implications, when looking at the future. . .
If elected, it will NOT likely be a peaceful 4 years. . .
