You seem to be the right people to get the below info to.
Allen and the WashPost attack alleged smearing of Obama by stories suggesting that Obama is or was a Muslim. They attack the open forum on FreeRepublic.com and investigated two of the posters that Allen and WaPo accuse of slander.
Yet the same “Obama is/was a Muslim” stories were posted months ago to the WaPo website per below. Amazingly, the latest Allen piece attacks the posting of anonymous comments because defamation occurs, even though the WaPo website allows and encourages such posting.
Incredibly, the WaPo trashes FreeRepublic.com for accepting anonymous comments when THAT VERY ARTICLE OF THE POST IS SET UP TO ACCEPT ANONYMOUS COMMENTS, INCLUDING SMEARS OF OBAMA, BUSH, MCCAIN, OR ANYONE.
Will the WaPo do a series of exposees on those putting the same “Obama is/was a Muslim” stories on the WaPo website?
What about those at the WaPo website repeatedly posting the “Bush lied, people died” slander (consider that the WMDs were said to be in Iraq by all, including President Clinton) and similar anti-Bush slanders? Or those WaPo website posters repeatedly posting “McCain is a war criminal” and similar calumny? When will the WaPo go after those people who use the Post itself to spread lies?
Is there a Pulitzer Prize for Hypocrisy? The Washington Post would have a lock on it.
