Michael was a member of FR for years.

. After all, he doesn't appear to like our country
any more than these other meat brains do.

I'm sure Mike loves this country at least
as much as the next man.  The government
is another matter.

Well, now we know where our old friend Mr. Rivero has parked his flying saucer. As for his ilk, perhaps the best counsel of all was proffered by Mr. Frank Chodorov in 1949:

The danger, to those who hold freedom as the highest good, is not the ideas (they) espouse but the power they aspire to. Let them rant their heads off - that is their right, which we cannot afford to infringe - but let us keep from them the political means of depriving everybody else of the same right.
- Frank Chodorov, analysis, 1949.

That, by the way, is useful counsel as well, when contending with those among us here - of any particular political party or persuasion - whose purpose is screaming down rather than dialoguing; whose preferred tactic and methodology is insult before insight; whose ambition for our nation is mere power, rather than restoring properly-construed government (as opposed to the improperly consecrated State); and, whose idea of bringing and securing the blessings of liberty to their fellows is to drive any and all demurral from whatever party line into - if you'll pardon the expression - a locked box to be buried in the approximate vicinity of Davy Jones' Locker (and I don't mean the former Monkees singer, either)...

A sacred cow is worth but one thing...steak!

Mike Rivero was a long-time freeper.

I don't defend antisemitism, if there is any on his site. I would point out that these days, many left-wing sites are virulently antisemitic. But they get away with it because they are politically correct.

What I have found valuable about Rivero's work is that he does, indeed, provide a lot of very useful links to useful materials.

Some of his conspiracies seem like tin-foil hat material to me. Others I am inclined to say are true stories that have been covered up by a habitually lying media. In the latter category are Waco and OKC, Ron Brown and Vince Foster. Not to say that everything anyone has ever posted about these matters is true, but that since the media have agreed to conspire to cover them up, we need all the resources we can get to uncover them and get them out into the open. Let people decide for themselves what is true and what isn't.

You go ftd. Beat 'em around the head with the 1st.
amemdment. That'll teach 'em.

I don't see anything in your post that supports the case that Rivero is anti-semetic. Because Rivero claims two Jews got caught with explosives, he's anti-semetic? He was a freeper here for quite awhile, and I always thought his posts were interesting. As for whether I believed them, well, sometimes. Also, I don't necessarily think he's wrong in questioning Bush's war motives--hell, I know he's not alone in doing so.

Someone had linked to this crap last week and I looked at this site and could not believe how much hatred for America I saw there. There was a section on the front page in BIG RED letters that qutoed Donald Rumsfeld as saying something about there being no connection between Iraq and Bin Ladden. Now this guy who runs this site goes out of his way to link to everything under the sun trying to find a shred of proof, and stretching it at that, but he had no link to show where this Rummmy quote was taken from. When I emailed them about it I got no response at all. I guess you can lie to the readers of your website as long as they are unwilling to to questions you.

They talk about Sheeple all the time and all they try to do is brainwash their followers. This stuff is garbage and not even entertaining garbage.

However, it was the link to Iver Bogen's opinion piece that made me want to tell both the author of the article and web site owner Mike Rivero where they could go. Located at (go to source link), the article was titled "Hitler...Bush...listen, there are some eerie parallels."Bogen, who is a professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota at Duluth, wrote in part:

This is beyond the pale, only I can't find any such link at What really happened.com

Did you verify any of this before you posted this?

Thanks for identifying the site www.whatreallyhappened.com.

I am a big fan of free speech, even when it crosses the line and mentions some negative information about an unmentionable ethnic group.

Okay, never mind all that. I have one question:

They said Vince Foster's fingerprints weren't on the gun because they....ahem...melted off due to a 90 degree day. Now if you swallow that one, let me aks you this:

Why, then, did one (1) (unidentified) fingerprint remain? Why didn't it melt off too? Hmmmmm?
