When they come after FRee Republic and Jim Rob over some imaginary crime, I want you to email me and say the same thing.
That is if emails still are allowed.
The News of the World is such a toilet of a paper, I was really shocked when he bought it, but then it was the most profitable paper in the UK and he is a businessman. I'm glad its gone. I wish the same would happen to The Guardian.
Does anyone care that Soros just gave a few million to NPR to hire new "journalists"? Guess not.
“You have proof of this?”
No, but unlike you, I do not believe that there needs to be absolute proof that a person committed a crime before there is an investigation.
I don’t see much conservatism at FR either.
Or said another way, "It's the seriousness of the charge, not the nature of the evidence."
Investigate and if no one committed a crime, no one goes to prison. If someone committed a crime, they will go to prison.

Emmett Tyrrell
The Kultursmog Against Murdoch
Anyone encouraging the government of the United States to investigate a news organization without proper cause is an enemy of freedom. And the harassment of Rupert Murdoch is being executed by enemies of free speech.
It's not the state-run-media, it's THE STATE.
Napoleon: "Three hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonettes."
I have no trouble with the FBI investigating criminal activity.
I DO have trouble with Jay Rockefeller leading a lynch mob.
Your sanguine comfort that the Regime's People's Police will conduct an impartial investigation is not shared by me.
“Your sanguine comfort that the Regime’s People’s Police will conduct an impartial investigation is not shared by me.”
So therefore, no crImes should be investigated?
Because I choose not to take the word of The Guardian, I say it likely ain’t so.
I wonder if Emmitt penned a piece stating that the hacking of Sarah Palin’s email should not be investigated?
With the Palin hack, there was actual evidence. But what the hell, we’re all guilty of something anyway, and its just a matter of what the Ministry of Love chooses to come after us with.
Do you use hyperbole much?
How does that work out for you?
As Holman Jenkins pointed out in yesterday’s WSJ, (PINGING Captain Obvious to enlighten us re: WSJ’s ownership) hacking has been going on in the UK for a long time, and as long as it was hacking of the voice mails of celebrities, politicians and the royals, it was perfectly OK with the public, but once it was done to one of the peasants (the dead girl), it becomes a scandal.
Are we seeing a similar reaction here?
That’s what the FBI does. They investigate allegations of federal crimes. And in this case, not only is the FBI investigating, but News Corp itself I’d investigating to see if voice mail hacking occurred.
They (the FBI) also act as a Secret Police for whichever Regime is in power.
See the evidence here.

Are you serious?
Quite. The evidence is in the tapes. Read the transcripts and then get back to me.
