“I chose to sit back and mock it.”
I’ll call them on their abject hypocrisy.
It’s disheartening to see what this forum has become. It started as a smallish group of erudite conservatives seeking enlightened discussion of the events of the day.
It has become an extension of the Gateway Pundit, not content with the bland realities of political discourse.
Any headline that confirms bias makes it to Breaking News, no matter how poorly sourced.
When I first came here (-1997), the forum consisted of two primary constant themes. Investigating the RUMORS about Bill Clinton, and incredible FLAME WARS between Dole and Kemp supporters who were still mad about the primary election. I only lurked because there were some serious headhunters on here if they disagreed with you. Eventually settled on my handle because Eagles Up was the site’s battle cry when an infiltrator was about to be crucified. Now it’s cats and zots but we’re still aggressive.
My point is the site has always been edgy. Freedom Underground was an offshoot of original posters but the name is still representative. I’ll agree that we don’t have nearly the same level of hard nosed investigators of our own, but the interest is still there. And there are a lot more other sites feeding us potential information than just Drudge, which is all we really had back then...
