PING.
The Washington Post calls you "a reclusive California conservative", Jim.
The Washington Post calls you "a reclusive California conservative", Jim [Robinson].What a bunch of morons the Washington ComPost is! JimRob is quite an activist. Almost every Friday he is out in Fresno supporting the Troops and lots of other stuff. He went to the inaugural last month. Last June, he made a tour and I met him with other Texas Freepers for supper at a local Mexican food restaurant (see my profile page).
Of course, these idiots also wrongly call FR a "blog" and .....
The blogosphere "is the international waters of the Internet age -- a lawless area where anything goes," said Matthew Felling, media director for the nonpartisan Center for Media and Public Affairs. "Sometimes that means information the quote-unquote mainstream media are keeping you from, and sometimes that means rumors the mainstream media responsibly ignores."
Ah! There you go! So when the Washington ComPost buries a story, they are being "responsible".
A-holes!
Why am I seeing images of long finger nails, the 'Spruce Goose', Jane Russell, and Howard Hughes?
:-)
I'm betting the next phase of the attack will be a push to get internet sites like FR to be bound by the "Fariness Doctrine".
Hardly consider Jim Robinson reclusive ... going back to the Fall of 1998 (October 31)FreeRepublic staged a very well attended March for Justice rally on the Mall in Washington. Attendance was estimated to be somewhere in the vicinity of 5 thousand (that would be touted as a half million if it were any other group), with FReepers coming from nearly every state in the Union. The 'reclusive' Jim Robinson was very much in evidence, giving a welcome speech on a stage erected for the event. He was just one of many featured speakers. The March for Justice rally was covered in its entirety by C-SPAN and virtually ignored by the Washington Post.
Any thoughts?
