[npincus]

prominently featured on his page.

What was the story???

[rumguy]

1. BBBUURRRRNNNNEEEEDDDDD!

[grasswire]

2. hahahahahahahahaha!

I'm laughing like a crazy person.

Hooray for the blogosphere!

[spotbird]

3. He didn't issue a clarification?

Shocking!

[LTR]

9. Not shocking

He never retracts anything.

Either he makes it disappear (takes it down and pretends it never existed) or he spins it like a top (he countered the Bush Air Force claim with a document that did more harm than good - it actually made Bush look even worse).

I see he selected option #1.

I hope he gets burned on this CBS memo thing. He's giving it all he can right now in terms of overhype.

4. Check Skinner's thread on this and many others

Essentially, a man staged an event at a Edward's rally. Claimed his three year old had her signs torn up. Covered by AP but great DUers proved this was a set-up.

23. I'm so confused..

I don't keep up with the daily grind any more.
Too much emotion for me.
But I did a search for "Skinner's thread" and found only one, which he 'locked' >>>
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=2364494

Is there a cliff notes version of this somewhere?
I know I'm not the only one who doesn't have a Clue.

24. Here's the thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=830608&mesg_id=830608

He has links to several other threads

The Stinkers continue to Stink.

5. Guess sludge has realized it was a "FORGED" event after all!

We must hold him and the others in right-wing press accountable for spreading such known falshoods and basing news stories on fraudulent events. Fire him! Call congressional hearings!

[LittleClarkie]

15. Fire someone who is self-employed?

What are we going to do, shove his face in a mirror and force him to tell himself to hit the road?

[jefferson_dem]

20. um...i guess sarcasm is hard to get across in type.

I was playing off of the wacko right's demands that Rather be fired after "memogate", etc...

Still, fire him!

[Chichiri]

6. Believe nothing that Drudge says.

If he says the sky is blue, look out the window before agreeing.

[no name no slogan]

7. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Hey, anybody know how to type that wicked laugh The Penguin used to do on Batman?

[REVOLT823]

8. You would think that bastard would get tired of getting his

ass kicked on a daily basis and melt back into mediocrity.

[slinkerwink]

10. that's because of our good work! congrats to DUers!

[Sparkle]

11. LOL!

Too fricking late!

[johnnie]

12. That's cool

DU kicks some ass again. We really have some talented people in this place.

[doni_georgia]

13. Yahoo took it down as well n/t

[enigmatic]

14. I'm shocked.........absolutely shocked........

That he would get duped by a fraud of a story; what's journalism coming to these days?;)

[LowerManhattanite]

16. Well, well, well...

...ain't that somethin? :)

[fudge stripe cookays]

17. Ha ha ha !

Anybody get a screen cap before he did?

FSC

[Guaranteed]

18. I've been making fun of him all day,

pointing him to our threads.

[BurtWorm]

19. I was going to ask, did he answer you?

But evidently he did. ;)

[Guaranteed]

21. Oh, no, I was just using the anonymous tip thing

on his page.

[LoZoccolo]

22. Tommorow, we inundate him with articles about Parlock!

Let's see if he'll run that!

[Ganja Ninja]

25. The GOP wants the story killed as fast as possible.

It makes them all look crooked. I wouldn't expect to see much more on this but on Dem sites on the web.
