It's a sad day when Drudge has more credibility than Dan Rather

[CatWoman]

I really wish you Drudge-bots would put a fucking lid on it.

[Scorpious_Maximus]

1. NO SHIT.

:mad: :mad: :mad:

[devinsgram]

[imax2268]

3. same here...

He has been proven a liar so many times it's not even funny...

[leftchick]

4. Brian Lamb referenced sludge this morning on c-span....

but then again Brian always refers to his favorite reich-wing rags and institutes. He really is showing his bias lately.

[CatWoman]

10. you expect it from Brian Lamb

I'm amazed at how many people here post in rapid succession Drudge's bullshit called "news".

[City Lights]

5. Amen. eom

[Chili]

yep

...shoot, I started my very first thread (LOL) on this, but it's a dupe, after reading this, and sinking fast. The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Republicans would never EVER display any doubt about any source of theirs that would discredit a Democrat, they would immediately circle the wagons, dig in, and lie lie lie to fight off any contradictory information, no matter how credible. Ever see any right-winger say, "gee... those Swiftboat guys... are we SURE they're telling the truth?"

But shed even the flimsiest doubt on evidence that backs up a story or theory discrediting a Republican, even from the most unreliable and unworthy of sources - Matt Drudge for God's sake?! - and what happens? Democrats start slitting their wrists and pulling out their hair and bending over backwards to HELP Republicans discredit a story that benefits them. O the Incessant Search for The Truth. We must ALWAYS be right, we must ALWAYS tell the truth, no matter how damaging to our own cause. It's an admirable way to go through life, but it doesn't win elections. Republicans can count on us skewing our own sources just as surely as they can predict the sun rising in the morning. That's all they have to do, just point the way and we'll diligently follow - leaving them free to sit back and enjoy the self-flagellatioin. It's sickening, but it's the curse from which we'll always suffer. People determined to be right will always suffer from their own obsessions with it.

[Chili]

16. thank you!

[CatWoman]

19. I too must commend you on a kick-ass post!!

:thumbsup:

[Chili]

24. thanks much!

I can't believe what happened yesterday. Geez, the burden of proof is on THEM, not us! Democrats had nothing to do with these documents coming to light and yet we must debunk them ourselves!

[democrat_patriot]

25. Hear hear.

How they so easily get us off topic is scary.

People: * disobeyed a direct order to take a physical.

That's all you or anyone needs to know/repeat.

6. Drudge-bots aka

Freeper Sleepers.

[goodhue]

7. amen

some people say some people don't know what they are talking about

[NewYorkerfromMass]

8. I couldn't agree more.

The clothes of our media have been removed and we can all see it now for how ugly and utterly wretched it is.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

9. KICK for the bedwetters

[kerry-is-my-prez]

11. I'm so fed up..... the American media sucks.

n/t

[bobbyboucher]

12. Most of them are trolls, who else reads that shit?

OK maybe a few dilligent "keeping an eye on the enemy" guys and girls, but most of us can't stand it. Why go there?

[madrchsod]

14. i`ll see that and raise

you..how about going over all the facts before jumping off the cliff.it was lost to alot of people that the whitehouse saw the report and that they said nothing...then they dropped the fake shit to drudge and others... but it all distracts from the fact the country is slowly turning into argentina and only the intelligent people actually can see it....

[StopTheMorans]

15. Drudge-bots

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

:thumbsup:

[henslee]

17. Like it or not, Drudge is an influential news source.

Scan ASK THE ADMINISTRATORS, you will find requests to disallow Drudge on DU. DU Admin. objects based on logic that like it or not, its a news source many use and its imp. to not ignore it.

[CatWoman]

20. you know why he's influential?

PEOPLE FALL FOR HIS BULLSHIT, AND TREAT IT AS RESPECTABLE NEWS!!!!!!!!!!

And I was one of the people who has begged DU admin to put a lid on all the Drudge threads in LBN.

I was overruled, but I'm still going to have my say in the matter.

Drudge is full of shit.

[henslee]

26. I was overruled too. Maybe this needs to go to SCOTUS.

[CatWoman]

27. LOL

DAMN RIGHT!!!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

21. Why is Drudge given so much credibility?

:grr:

[LuminousX]

23. More influential that 60 Minutes?

18. I'm getting fucking angry now with those pushing this phony story

anyone giving the tiniest credence to Sludge deserves fucking Bush.

You have to get into your heads..these freepers DO NOT CARE that Bush was a deserter, a liar and a thief..they admire him because of it.
Nothing will change their minds..they are fucking morons and they love this fake forgery story because they love to see Dems demoralized.

They couldn't give a flying f*** about decency and honesty and soldiers dying. Taking notice of these lowlife turns them on.

Here is an example of how they think : I just had one who I trade emails say that 1005 death in Iraq means fuck all because more people die in their bathrooms every year. As long as it someone else.

IGNORE THEM AND THEIR BULLSHIT.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

22. I also saw "Little Green Footballs" used a source

:eyes:

Of course, these sources have been used by DU's resident Fifth Column.
