BALTIMORE -- For the first time, the operators of a California-based Web site are revealing they have evidence that an e-mail address from the Maryland Democratic State Party is associated with MD4BUSH.
WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team reporter David Collins said the operators of FreeRepublic.com are not revealing the name behind MD4BUSH. But this is the first time that they are suggesting the state democratic party is associated with the MD4BUSH account on their Web site.
Jim Robinson, the president of the conservative Web site, issued the following statement: "Free Republic has evidence that an mddems.org (Maryland Democratic Party) e-mail address is associated with the MD4BUSH account. This is not just coincidence."
They also call on the account holder to come clean.
Free Republic has the electronic trail associated with the saga of MD4BUSH.

Last week, the name of Ryan O'Doherty, a former official with the state Democratic Party who left that job in January, surfaced publicly in connection with the MD4BUSH mystery. That happened when the governor's lawyer forwarded an e-mail with O'Doherty's name on it to the committee investigating the governor's firing practices.

The I-Team caught up with O'Doherty outside the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, where's he's held a newly created job for the past nine months. The agency is publicly funded, with close ties to the mayor and county executives.
O'Doherty is a friend of Steve Kearney, one of the mayor's top aides. Sources said Kearney first tried to get O'Doherty hired in City Hall. Kearney told 11News he couldn't remember if he provided any help.
Collins reported in response to Free Republic's disclosure, Josh White, the executive director of the state Democratic Party, said how could anyone take the word of a right-wing Website that wants nothing more than to help the governor.

It is a fact there are not that many people to sort through in
MDDems.org and I doubt if that many ever had access to the organizations computers. Add to that the fact that other
supporters were notified before the story broke at the WP.
How would they know this if they were not involved?
AMEN!
I apologized. Lost my head. Forgiveness is requested.

Well Done and Thank You Jim...I'm glad theres a few of us left to preserve integrity.
Like the previous reply before this one, 2 women from Chuck Schumer's office did it - they haven't been fired, either. And Chucky's also in on the racist attack on him.
Here's a link - I hope it works for you.

Here is my Absurd Example Post 15
Lots of us believe that O'Malley
1) really screwed up on Feb 8, 2004 in a speech before many of the country's mayors
2) had the swirl of ugly rumors about infidelity over his head for months
3) dropped the dime -aka NCPAC/MD4BUSH freepmails - to Matthew Mosk on the evening of Feb 8, so that the next news cycle would be covering an offended Mayor and his wunded wife standing sympathetically in front of City Hall blaming Ehrlich's nefarious "prince of Darkness" for spreading malicious rumors.
This cost Joe Steffen his job, and did stop everybody in Baltimore from talking about the O'Malley rumors.
A page from the Clinton playbook --get bad news out early - remember the discussion ofJennifer Flowers on 60 minutes after the Superbowl of 1992 - than which there is no greater prime time. For the rest of the primaries that year Clinton was inoculated against the bimbo eruptions because "it had already been discussed" - old news - moving on - marriage stronger - etc
Good work. I tried to find him on the current site, but of course he's gone.

Oops. My last post went to the wrong Freeper. Sorry about that.
Good work on finding O'Doherty's former email address.
They don't call this the logic free zone for nuthin'! Go figure.
Have to make sure I watch WBAL TV at 11:00.
Dutch is my Congressman. Should I call his office tomorrow morning, to ask if Steve Jost is still working for him!
The name Steve Jost kept ringing a bell for me. The ringing has just stopped. Bring on B1-Bob. What amazing stories he could tell.
