Rush talking about bloggers breaking CBS story (Update: Rush, thanks for plugging FR. We love ya)

Cool.

Mod update.

Ordinary Americans have dragged slowly but surely other big institutions to the truth. The big institutions were the last to arrive at the truth and some of them to this moment are still not there.

Now I realize that within this new alternative media there exists some jealosy,. I sense that some people don’t want to give the blogosphere the full credit. They have to parcel it out because every body wants a piece of the action; this is quite normal, this is human nature. The fact of the matter is that it was the blogosphere and it was a couple of sites: Powerline and FreeRepublic. And FreeRepublic has been one of the most impugned blogs / websites in the history of websites by the very institution that has been brought down.

When Dan Rather talked about partisan political operatives, he means those who lurk at FreeRepublic. Who is FreeRepublic, it’s ordinary Americans – liberals look down at ordinary Americans, don’t know have enough decision making power, [?] do the right thing, not smart enough …

You don’t know how much it grates on them at CBS that its something like FreeRepublic or one of their chat rooms or one of the FReepers there or the Powerline … you have no idea that it irritates them that that kind of person brought them down. An average, ordinary untrained journalist that … you just do not know how this irritates them inside. More than the fact that they got caught, it’s who caught them that irritates them.

And, so just as I started out … I was a fad, and I was a liar, and I made it up and I was bad for America and I posed threats to democracy, as the cover of Time said. So now the same things are being said about the bloggers. Fox news has had its turn and we all continue rotating in the criticism carousel of the left.

"It was Rush...doing this thing for America....and you cannot know how much I credit this good man for his dedication to the truth and his absolute cartload of common sense, always couched in dead on humor. I love him."

Reagan had a nice quote about credit. Basically, that it is secondary in importance to reaching the objective.

Right. And Ronald Reagan received credit for his accomplishments.

Everyone likes credit. For example, if you kill yourself on a project at work, you want the credit. That Reagan quote grates on me. I keep seeing it posted here in regards to FR uncovering the CBS crime. Should we just shut up about it? Jim Robinson even disagrees with that nonsense as evidenced by his postings.

WoooHOOOO!!

Do they make tux pajamas? Will we loose all sense of our NOT P.C.ness if we have to dress to post? Give me p.j.'s or give me death! :)

There goes my whole theory. But I'm sticking by it anyway. It's true. I want to make clear to you. I want to make clear to you, if I have not made clear to you, that this story is true and that more important questions than how we got the story, which is where those who don't like the story would like to put the emphasis. The more important question is, what are the answers to the questions raised in this story which I just gave you earlier?"

Cordially,

[Mr. K]

Now if only JimRob would ADOPT A BETTER BSINESS MODEL!!!

Moronic sites like Salon.com and Movon.org get millions in funding- isn't there a better way to fund this site???

[RS]

Are we really "normal" like Rush says?? I always thought we were "above average!"

normal ?


Well, I suppose so, we put our pajamas on one leg at a time like everyone else...

[princess leah]

Free Republic is THE PLACE to come and find the latest and most breaking news without all the bias (well, ok, there's some conservative bias)...I've felt for a long time that all we get is recycled news on TV passed on by the AP wire. The MSM left cutting edge newscasting long ago (about the time color came onto TVs) and they are lazy,liberal,egotistical hollywood wanna bees.

I want my FRTV.

[texasbluebell]

I guess this means they won't be inviting us to their socialite parties ?

You made a typo there, Mo1.

Didn't you mean socialist parties?

[GretchenM]

It made me proud to be an ordinary American!

Someone in a news article t'other day called us Citizen Journalists of America. It wears well and fits just right.

[RandallFlagg]

I'm gonna PM Rush and ask him to chime in on this thread. Care to join me?

That Reagan quote grates on me.

Ron Smith, of WBAL in Baltimore just mentioned Free Republic as well. He mentioned finding a particular article in our archives.
