October 5, 2005 -- THE producer at the center of last year's "Memogate" scandal at CBS News says she was derailed by a vast right-wing conspiracy.
The producer, Mary Mapes, is one of four CBS staffers fired last January in the wake of the scandal.
She is convinced she was the victim of a group of loosely associated Internet bloggers "with a harsh political bent" who pounced on CBS News minutes after the airing of the now-infamous Texas Air National Guard story on "60 Minutes 2" in September 2004...
"Within a few minutes, I was online visiting Websites I had never heard of before: Free Republic, Little Green Footballs, Power Line," writes Mapes...
"They were hard-core, politically angry, hyperconservative sites loaded with vitriol about Dan Rather and CBS."
"This was something else, something new and fundamentally frightening," Mapes writes. "I had never seen this kind of response to any story.
"It dawned on me that I was present at the birth of a political jihad."

All I can say is, "ROFLMHO!"
The left is plumb eat up with drama queens.
Tag away!
Then you weren't looking or listening.
We've been screaming at our TVs for decades. The internet came along and gave us all a way to be together in the same room, watching you guys lie and distort and propagandize on the little screen.
Your big mistake was in thinking you were smarter than the rest of us. You aren't.
All my favorites, with FP being far and away #1!!!
Looks like it's time to hit that "donation" button.
Still Crazy After All These Years
Or at least after one year. And maybe it isn't crazy--just, mentally challenged. Mary Mapes still doesn't get it:
Within a few minutes, I was online visiting Web sites I had never heard of before: Free Republic, Little Green Footballs, Power Line.
This is the first hint of her cluelessness. The fact that she'd never heard of these sites before shows how insulated she was. Free Republic has been around for many years now, and was instrumental in bringing out many of the Clinton scandals. It's one thing to say (as I'd expect a hard-core Democrat to) that they have no credibility, but to claim ignorance of their very existence?

Mary Mary quite contrary, ya lie ya die in the nooooze business ya cunning runt ! You got caught by folks in their pajamas with yer pants down Mary.....that is the really funny part.
Ya been freeped reeeeeeeeeel good !
If ya don't have yer ducks in a row a freeper "will" squash yer salted quacker in a loud and public manner.
The word jihad was used intentionally.
Congratulations!
Hmmmm?? Is Mary Mapes mad enough to assist Earle in his pursuit of DeLay. It seems Earle has come up with "new evidence" over the weekend. Plus, Dan Rather's daughter is associated with this same group of people.
I already don't like the smell of that "new evidence"!
As for Mary, she's mentally slooooooow. Dan and Mary...LIARS, INC.
Isn't that interesting? What I find "frightening" is an out-of-control and drunk-with-power news media that finds it acceptable to manufacture (from NOTHING) a story about a good and decent man in order to bring about his political demise.
But that's just me.

From what I understand, that was created on the default Microsoft Word settings!
Worst.
Forgery.
Ever.
"I had never seen this kind of response to any story."
Surprise, surprise surprise!
No sour grapes on her part! };-)
This woman is so far behind the power curve it is unbelievable, to not know the opposition will kill you every time.
Very astute. I say we replace MSM with the acronym for the Stone Age Press.
