The REAL story here is that either:
1) The Washington Post used a fake "pro-Bush" (MD4Bush) account on Free Republic to entrap an aid to the Republican Governor of Maryland.
- or -
2) The Washington Post obtained illicit (and possibly illegal) copies of private e-mails between FReepers.
If MSM lurking here were worth their salt, they'd get on that story right now.
BTW nothing NCPAC posted on FR was cause for him to lose his job.

I'm not so sure. As NCPAC himself

As for your other post asking why I posted certain things on FR if I knew they were wrong, please read my FR post which is quoted in the Washington Post. I never started the rumor. I was commenting on a rumor that had been out there. However, given the volatility of the situation - and knowing the blowback potential on the Governor - I opted out rather than letting him bleed further at the hands of O'Malley. By commenting on/propagating a story already out there, I was inadvertantly opening up the Governor as a target. That was a mistake, one for which I am willing to take full blame and consequence.
And he has since apologized to Mayor O'Malley. Perception is sometimes a lot more important than reality in politics.
