Dan Rather is suing … Mary Mapes is still ranting
“Mary Mapes: Still Lying, Even More Bitter Thu, Sep 20, 2007 at 4:43:14 pm PST from Little Green Footballs
It has been three years since we aired our much-maligned story on President Bush’s National Guard service and reaped a whirlwind of right-wing outrage and talk radio retaliation. That part of the assault on our story was not unexpected. In September 2004, anyone who had the audacity to even ask impertinent questions about the president was certain to be figuratively kicked in the head by the usual suspects.What was different in our case was the brand new and bruising power of the conservative blogosphere, particularly the extremists among them. They formed a tightly knit community of keyboard assault artists who saw themselves as avenging angels of the right, determined to root out and decimate anything they believed to be disruptive to their worldview. …”
And I would like to personally thank the conservative blogosphere for it’s self funded bruising power. It pleases me everytime one of the liberal media elect is called to account for lies and propaganda by a bunch of folks who now audit everything they do.
I would like to call it “fact checking”. I love it when they (the bloggers) raise the “bullshit” flag and topple the tower of liberal media control.
I think we are giving them a rash.

As one of those extremist bloggers I feel especially privilaged to be a thorn in the side of Dan “I’d Rather Not” and the media.

Pa, Marines have carte blanche with me! It’s truly unconditional love, how else could I put up with Gunny G at grunt.com and still find the abrasive t__d loveable?
