THAT URANIUM STORY

NRO ^ | 7/14/2003 | David Frum

[Jorge]

It's just that in the entire two-and-a-half-year history of the Bush Administration thus far, this is the FIRST ginned-up pseudoscandal to come along that both: a) has had legs, and b) is complex enough to allow the leftists and haters to play semantic games and argue basically anything they want from any direction.

People said Enron had legs as well. All we heard and read in the liberal media and from Dems was "Bush-Enron, Bush-Enron, Bush-Enron...etc".

That issue even went all the way to hearings.

But it ultimately died because nothing was there.

I say this will die the same death. Of course the real Bush haters will never let go of any of these issues, but that's to be expected.

[justshe]

Since you are posting across threads......you should have posted Jim's current stance.

A partial post from HERE

Thus I am unwilling to allow Free Republic to be used to damage Bush or ANY of the Republicans chances, especially with fabricated leftist propaganda. For this, I am labeled a traitor to the conservative cause. So be it. Come hell or high water I'm sticking to my guns on this one. The Democrats are NOT going to be allowed to retake control of our government any time soon and that's a fact!

You think todays little teapot tempest is about Bush or the GOP?
-- Get real. Its about a neo-coven at FR trying to control what they view to be the agenda here.

Feel free to correct me, but I hope this is still FR's agenda:

"Free Republic is a place for people to discuss our common goals regarding the restoration of our constitutionally limited republican form of government. If people have other agendas for FR, I really wish they would take them elsewhere."

Thanks, Jim

Just wanted to make sure you had the CURRENT....statement by JR...and were not relying entirely on your post from 2002. I don't see his latest post as anything other than a refinement of the 2002 statement he posted.

Don't you people ever tire of that re-tread of a 3 year old statement??

Everytime someone wishes to bash the owner of this site, that is the best you all can do.

I wish I had a dollar for everytime you guys post that on TOS's

[Matchett-PI]

"Or more likely it is, you perfer a slow and painful death by a thousand needles ..."

You refuse to accept that what I say is what I mean, and continue to insist on misrepresenting me. Once again you chose to run my words through your brain and by the time they came back out again, you have them "more likely" meaning something else.

I hate to break it to you, but you are NOT a person who will have credibility with intellectually honest critical thinkers. And the others don't matter.

[Miss Marple]

Hi, Neets. Interesting that the seminar callers are appearing on Hannity's show, regardless of their true identity.

I still maintain that this is a coordinated effort, and that while there are those who are sincerely questioning one aspect or another of Bush's policies, there seem to be an awful lot who are determined to move some people into the third party column.

I just don't trust this "I supported Bush, but he moved left and so now I am going to a third party, even though it means electing a democrat."

I still say that there are a fair number of democrats here spouting that stuff, especially the newer registrants who don't have a posting record to draw upon.

If we had a dollar for every single time they used that quote, we could use it to bribe Jim to let us run this web site!

BTW, did you notice how he thought he trapped me into getting him to post that? pathetic

[Neets]

Thanks for that post Ma'am.

[Neets]

I just found it all too odd that this callers' comment's echoed much of what we have been hearing here from those determined individual.

Much I cringe while listening to Sean, I wish our DR's appt was later so I could have finished listening to this particular caller.

[Neets]

What time is the secret vote for latest banning nominations???

[justshe]

You are most welcome. Usually becomes a thread stopper when I post it.....LOL.

[justshe]

Secret vote? SECRET VOTE?????? I thought there was a discussion period prior to voting and all votes would be just a simple up or down. I don't know if I want the votes to BE secret....at least amongst 'us'.

Ok...when did these rules get changed and WHY didn't I get the notice??????

[A Navy Vet]

Please, no "road maps to peace"...this is the best damn political catfight I've seen on FR in ages. Information actually comes out of these heated exchanges.

[justshe]

You know they won't own "I supported Bush, but he moved left and so now I am going to a third party, even though it means electing a democrat." Perot didn't happen. Or....it was the fault of the candidate....NOT the 3rd party candidate.

[Area51]

I see you weren't honest enough to ping Jim Robinson to that post, were you.

Tells me all I need to know about you.

You really don't understand a lot of what is going on around here do you?

I know enough to ping the people I'm trying to trash.

Kinda hard to trash someone with their own posts? Your tactics sound alot like Lanny Davis's back in the Impeachment debate while defending the Clintler gang.

Yeah, right. Howlin the woman of integrety. So how many folks have been banned on threads you have been baiting on? How many did you have direct discussions with on those threads and how many did you brag about after they were banned? Come on, Miss Honor, tell the truth. You got to have a number. I can't believe someone as obtuse doesn't keep score.

Your record of you and your guild jumping threads that end up getting people banned says otherwise. I hope some day someone caculates how many thousands of dollars your tactics of attacks have cost this website or donations to other causes linked to it. The facts are on the front page.

I don't need to sneak. I posted what I posted. I understand completely what is happening around here. You and others have decided that there will be no disention in the ranks. You have come up with the mantra that if you critisize Dubya you must be a DU member, Democrat or disruptor planted here years ago. When you find a thead with someone critical of the Ole Mighty King Dubya, you ping your guild and you'll come running like cows to a milking. Take one political thread from yesterday (which In wasn't even posting to) or today that have over 400 posts on it and tell me that isn't happening?

Funny thing about your rant, Most of your gaggle of old goats were no where around when the fight was actually taken up by us so called plants. Our words, energy, showing up in person and OUR money put ads in the Washington Newpaper and FORCED the Republicans to take action against a Felon in the Whitehouse.

So you take your condesending attitude, know it all, my way or the highway RINO support and label tossing and stuff it. You are the one that hasn't a clue. And if your original thoughts were gold you couldn't cash in enough to buy one.

You of all people really ought to not be questioning ANYONE'S motives here. But just like a trashy dog, once you got the taste of blood you just can't stop.

Have a good day dearie.

"Please, no "road maps to peace"...this is the best damn political catfight I've seen on FR in ages. Information actually comes out of these heated exchanges."

I've been gone this afternoon(Calif) and just caught up on the thread. You have got this right LOL

[Howlin]

What I have decided is that you are slam nuts.

Ask Jim Robinson, if you have the nerve, how many people I, or for that matter MY FRIENDS, have had banned. That's a story you people LOVE to tell youselves because you can't face the truth -- that you make yourselves unwelcome in civil company.

You have major issues with women and/or people who don't agree with you, so you must destroy them in order to exist.

And since you seem to have a COMPREHENSION PROBLEM, i.e., this remark:

Your record of you and your guild jumping threads that end up getting people banned says otherwise.

I haven't posted on the Guild thread in two and a half years. So much for YOUR knowledge.

You all have given me/us WAY more power (or whatever the hell you think it is that I have) than I actually have; and in doing so, you insult the owner of this forum. If you believe that Jim Robinson can be bought off for $364 a year, you'd dumber than you look and you insult HIS integrity. But, of course, isn't that what you live to do?

And just so you'll know, I've been here a LOT longer than you have.

[Area51]

Next time just type BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

And the archieves don't lie.

[Howlin]

I knew you didn't have the nerve to ask him. You might see something in writing that would blow your theory right out of the water.

Go bloviate at LP; they've already got your rant up, ready to congratulate you, big man!

[OWK]

Bravo!!

Standing ovation.

[OWK]

He's got your number, as do most who watch the goings on here.

You're the bait and snitch queen.
