Bush Blog Positive Counterpart To DNC By Jimmy Moore Talon News October 10, 2003 WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- The official weblog for the Bush-Cheney 2004 reelection campaign was opened this week to help keep the public informed about the major campaign issues and activities. The new Bush blog, the term commonly used for a weblog, located on the Internet at www.georgewbush.com/blog launched just weeks after the controversial new Democrat Party blog entitled "Kicking Ass." As previously reported by Talon News, the Democrat blog contains mostly negative stories and postings about President Bush and members of his administration. Also, it has...

I saw a bumper sticker today that reads "Vote Democrat, it's easier than working." Finally, some honesty! Simply telling the truth, though, does not get the Democrats off the hook. Here is a party whose very survival depends on robbing Peter to pay Paul, and there is no shame -- they advertise it! Redistribution of wealth and nanny states do not strengthen society, they weaken it and can even destroy it. Thomas Jefferson would be ashamed. The bumper sticker slogan is misleading, because someone always has to pay and someone always has to work. Is it a coincidence that unemployment...

<p>LONDON, England (CNN) -- The Baghdad bloggers became famous for their insights into life during the Iraqi war.</p> <p>The Internet pioneers courted danger and risked death by messaging to the outside world. Now Internet cafes are opening up across Baghdad giving Iraqis the chance to connect without restriction or hindrance for less than $1 per hour.</p>

"The Ultimate Perfumed Prince" was a nickname reportedly given to General Wesley Clark by those serving under him. David Hackworth first picked up on it during the Kosovo conflict. This first edition of the Perfumed Prince Report (which will be repeated most likely on a weekly basis) has recent and not-so-recent pieces from the blogosphere and beyond on Wesley Clark's past and his present presidential campaign. Feel free to add anything you might have or to submit it for next week's report by sending e-mail to jeff -at- jquinton.com.

NOTE to FREEPERS: On the threads throughout the campaign season of 2004 about what the Clinton DemocRATs are doing, you will get the RAT Attack warning label to let you know what you are about to read is from the enemy! The following site has been launched by the DNC as a Blog to go on the attack of President Bush and his Administration. This is an official blog of the Clinton DemocRATs launched just in time to help Weasley Clark (thanks to a Freeper for that nickname)! * * * * * * * * Introducing Kicking ?*!:...

'I became the profane pervert Arab blogger' It began as an internet joke with a friend in Jordan. But then the media - including the Guardian - picked it up, and suddenly he was the Baghdad blogger, the most famous web diarist in the world. Salam Pax describes what it was like to play cat-and-mouse with Saddam's censors. My name is Salam Pax and I am addicted to blogs. Some people watch daytime soaps, I follow blogs. I follow the hyperlinks on the blogs I read. I travel through the web guided by bloggers. I get wrapped up in the...

ON THE OTHER HAND [Jonah Goldberg] A reader warns that we shouldn't be too hard on Bush lest we face the alternative: Jonah, I am a 25 year old medical student (4th year) at Penn, and have followed your writing over the last three years. I greatly appreciate your ability to communicate fundamental (but often unspoken) arguments, and your advice on challenging cliches has helped me make sense of much of the intellectual mush I've been fed over the last several years. With all this in mind, I am honestly very frightened when I hear key conservative voices talking about...

<p>TIME WAS, we thought that a conclusive demonstration that the emperor had no clothes would be sufficient to overturn his reign. No leader could take power without media support; no ruler could keep his throne without the cooperation of the press. But the consolidation of media in recent years -- a series of intermarriages consecrated by the FCC -- has created a panic among tube-feeding activists like myself. Increasingly, the opportunity to define the "truth" has been concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. What's more, the new Media Hyperbarons are corporations of such colossal wealth and power that they are guaranteed to support the status quo that gave rise to them.</p>

President Bush's campaign will unveil a Web site today that allows proprietors of online journals -- Blogs or Web logs -- to "get the latest campaign headlines and inside scoop posted instantly to your site through a live news feed from GeorgeWBush.com!" Bush's campaign is leaving nothing to chance as his devotees spread his message. The automatic feeds are offered in horizontal and vertical versions. ... Campaign manager Ken Mehlman said the site's purpose is "sharing the president's positions and tying them to grass-roots activities so that everyone who wants to, has something to do." The site allows a user...

We've all heard of Senateur John Le Kerry's little faux pas in Philly the other day: If Sen. John F. Kerry's presidential aspirations melt like a dollop of Cheez Whiz in the sun, the trouble may well be traced to an incident in South Philadelphia on Monday. There, the Massachusetts Democrat went to Pat's Steaks and ordered a cheesesteak -- with Swiss cheese. If that weren't bad enough, the candidate asked photographers not to take his picture while he ate the sandwich; shutters clicked anyway, and Kerry was caught nibbling daintily at his sandwich -- another serious faux pas. "It...

Hi all. I'm here to announce that my blog is open for business. I don't have an email page or a bulletin board up yet, but I will. Meantime, I'd like to hear whatever reactions I can from any of you who choose to drop by and take a look. Just hit the source link and it should take you there. I would appreciate any reactions on this thread. Thanks again. Be Seeing You, Chris

<p>WASHINGTON - Tom Daschle is coming soon to a blog near you.</p> <p>The Senate minority leader and South Dakota Democrat will post a daily diary on his official Web site as he drives around the state next month during Congress' annual August recess, he said Wednesday. The diary is modeled on the growing phenomenon of the online journals known as Weblogs, or blogs for short.</p>

Operation Expanding Freepdom continues to grow by leaps and bounds with new Freeper blogs coming out of the woodwork and joining our network everyday. I can barely keep up! Thank you to everyone who has participated so far, and if you want to know how to start your own blog, read on or click here, here, or here. Despite sensible voices like Andrew Sullivan, James Lileks, and Glenn Reynolds, blogging is being portrayed as the medium for left-wing candidates and activists. Therefore, I'd like to begin a feature where we spotlight leading examples of conservative activism in the blogosphere....

Earlier this week, a Free Republic Blog Directory, or Blogroll, was established here on Free Republic. The goal of this effort is to spotlight key weblogs written by Freepers from a conservative, pro-Bush perspective -- and to expand Freepdom to include the fast-growing "blogosphere." Hence the name: Operation Expanding Freepdom! The response so far has been great. Here's the very latest listing of Freeper blogs, including those started as a result of the original thread. If your blog isn't on this list, REPLY TO THIS THREAD with your blog's address. Cathryn CrawfordWilliam McKinleyRegnum CrucisMichael KingFederal ReviewThe View from ArlenImalMHGinTNAnna Z.The...

On Friday, I wrote a piece asking why Freepers don't get more involved in reading and writing blogs to expand Free Republic's influence in a growing medium that needs more conservative, pro-Bush voices. The response was phenomenal. Click here to read the original thread, "Are Freepers Still Winning the Online War?" One of the ideas that grew out of that thread was to start a Free Republic Blog Directory, or blogroll, as bloggers call it. From time to time, we will list all Freepers with blogs on threads like this to draw attention to their fine conservative writings. All Free...

washingtonpost.com 'AOL Journals' To Bring Blogs To Millions By Leslie Walker Sunday, July 13, 2003; Page F07 The "blogosphere" may never be the same after America Online releases free blog-publishing software to its 34 million members this summer. AOL this month began showing demos of its tools for creating Web logs, or blogs, to veteran bloggers. AOL has dubbed its service "AOL Journals" because its surveys showed that members found the word "blogs" confusing, said Rick Robinson, AOL's vice president for community products.

Are Freepers still winning the online war? I think we still are. But as conservatives, we need to ask what we can be doing better. One area in which we can and do must do more is blogs. What are blogs, you ask? They’re personal web journals run by online pundits, and they’re achieving enormous popularity both online and in the media. Blogs like InstaPundit.com, the Volokh Conspiracy, and Right Wing News are daily must reads where some of the best minds opine on the really important stories of the day, and where upstart bloggers (folks not unlike you and...
