Just interrupted Rush to say that three people had been shot outside the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC.
I seriously wonder if there are people out there confusing (deliberately?) Stormfront and Free Republic. There IS a thread from 2004 on Stormfront praising Van Brunn.
Watching either CNN or MSNBC (looking for their take on the Letterman issue) I heard them mention Free Republic.com a few times while talking about this shooter. What gives?
Kos is suggesting membership here, but is actually asking for folks to post links to pages to which the guy might have posted something. OTH, there are postings that might/might not be legit on this site or Kos. Or elsewhere. By anyone really.
"This is a complaint concerning the behavior of your news anchor, Shep Smith, in the course of "reporting" on the shooting today at the Holocaust Museum. Rather than simply reporting the news factually and objectively, your resident Fox News peacock saw fit to go on a personal left wing rant, attempting to legitimize a widely discredited (and later withdrawn) report issued by DHS (Napolitano) attempting to paint combat veterans, constitutionalists, Second Amendment supporters, and loyal American conservatives as potential domestic terrorists which should be monitored by law enforcement agencies. This was an attempt, almost certainly supported by the Obama administration, to suppress and silence well deserved criticism coming from loyal American conservatives thoroughly fed up with our mainstream news media which has now deteriorated to the point they are nothing more than a cheering section and idolization branch office for Obama.
Mr. Hill's behavior was unprofessional, misplaced, erroneous, and insulting to loyal American conservatives. This guy has turned out to be a net liability to Fox News. We are very seriously considering dropping Fox News as our main news source. O'Reilly was bad enough, but now we have today's hissy fit by Mr. Smith. He's become an embarrassment to Fox News. You are very much in danger of becoming almost as irrelevant as the rest of the so-called mainstream news media..../s/"
I'm still pissed.
Kos’ headline doesn’t remotely match any of the “evidence” on his page.
I don’t even see any evidence anywhere that Van Brunn was a “birther.”
Effusively. One called him one of the "greatest white men of the century".
FreeRepublic pulls thread from December praising James von Brunn
Probably not a good move to pull such a thread. Folks will assume it was Freepers agreeing with and amplifying von Brunn's rascist and anti-Semitic views. Otherwise, why pull it?
A look in the cache shows it was actually a post to a Norwegian discussion forum, in which someone signing himself as James W. von Brunn points out our egregious lack of knowledge about Obama's background. There is nothing in it that would tie back to the themes of von Brunn's vile website.
Freeper wannabegeek started a thread to discuss von Brunn's article. What follows is a totally normal FR thread with comments like "It irked me how the left was snickering about McCain being 894th in his class of 899, but 0bambi never released his records for scrutiny."
What's the harm in discussing the time of day when a stopped clock happens to get it right?
The liberal nuttosphere needs a hobby.
This guy was a left wing nut.
I heard a rumor it was over a tube of eye-liner.
Don't just write emails.
TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO STOP WATCHING SHEP SMITH'S PROGRAM.
Watch every other fox show, but during "The Fox Report"--watch CNN instead. If we really do this, the ratings will decline and CNN will beat him in that slot. then Murdoch will not hesitate to dump him, since he is all about the dollars (reportedly Murdoch despises O'Reilly, but he's a moneymaker).
Getting fired will be great for Shep. He can come out of the closet, marry his boyfriend in CT, and join MSNBC, Bravo and Logo as a correspondent.
He was a nut, period. But given he was ranting about Bill Clinton being a Marxist in his book the "left wing" nut is a hard sell.
I wonder if they will now blame Wright for causing this man to kill? Like they did with Oreilly?
Leftwing bloggers are already calling on Napolitano to ‘revist’ the ring wing extremist memi.
