Because FReeRepublic was FIRST to discover it, before this paper and the news media learned of it, that's why. And this is not the first thread on this. We even reported it to Drudge, FOX and elsewhere. It was after we reported it that they began covering it.
When reading Stack’s manifesto/homocide note (see my #25) the “white elephant” phrase struck me. I knew I had read it on a thread much earlier, but can’t seem to find it. Do you have a link for that thread?
