Someone posted yesterday that a Cleveland TV station reported that "President Bush, who lost Osama bin Laden, declined President Obama's invitation to Ground Zero."
Then other posts accused me of making that outrageous statement. Now I'm getting threatening calls and emails.
THAT IS SO WRONG! I never came close to saying anything like that. I introduced CBS correspondent Danielle Nottingham's report on the latest regarding Osama bin Laden. Here is where I think the intial poster stopped listening: Her story excerpt verbatim says, "Tomorrow - the President heads for Ground Zero in New York City -- where he will meet with families of those killed the 9/11 attacks. He invited former President George W. Bush to join him -- but, the man who launched the hunt for Bin Laden declined."
LAUNCHED! So please, stop sending me hate mail. And maybe, just maybe, consider for a moment that an accuser may just be flat out wrong, before you threaten the accused.

Release the pictures of you saying that.
Roll the tape.....
No, the person accussed her of making the statement on her broadcast.
Uh...Welcome to Free Republic...?
By the way, all I hear is a very soft hum from my CPU fan. I highly recommend the NZXT case and Antec case fans I chose.
I will quit calling you. I just wanted a date and didn’t know how to ask.
Would you share with us, verbatim, your introduction?
IBTZ!
“You weren’t a FReeper yesterday. How could you post anything? “

Where did she say that SHE posted?
I read:
“Someone posted yesterday”
Welcome to FR!
This does sound like a simple case of misunderstanding, and I can see how you would be upset to be incorrectly accused of saying something that you did not. There’s a fairly simple way to settle this, however — have your station release a video clip of the statement in question and post a link to it here. Then everyone can see (and hear) for themselves and there will be no question as to what was or was not said.
In the end, the truth is the most important thing.
sorry, you were misquoted. we keep trying to be better than the ‘progressives’ were during the Bush adm. but every time we look up, we get poked in the eye.
The adage that you become that which you hated, unfortunately, tends to be true. But at least we recognize the problem.
I believe Jim Robinson pulled the thread, so who knows what FReeper irresponsible misquoted, if one did.
Welcome to FR, I think? Do you know that the emails came from here or are you just that angry your broadcast was mis-interpreted? Of course, klintoon lost osama binsurfing. Maybe you could point that out next time
Welcome to FR. Some of us put the ‘jerk’ in kneejerk..............
Kudos to you for showing up "in person" as it were to address this issue.
Please understand, however, that you just signed up yesterday, and we ordinary users have no way of verifying your identity (although site management presumably does).
Two points for your consideration:
1) Would it be possible for you to post a link to your actual segment, so we can see for ourselves?
2) If you are concerned with being slandered, please take a step back for a thought experiment.
Have you ever considered, in the light of your experience, what Sarah Palin's life must be like (Trig is not her child, nationwide late-night host joking about the statutory rape of her daughter, being accused of fomenting the Gabrielle Giffords shooting)?
If you choose to lurk or to log in from time to time, you will find that FR is fascinating, funny, rough-and-tumble, acerbic, and exhilarating.
That's all on the same thread.
With time you will learn to distinguish serious discussion from earnest legpulling, trolls from stalwarts.
Thanks again for signing up and addressing this directly.
Cheers!
