True, but it didn't matter then. Now, with something like 75% of the American Households having some access to the net, and web publishing something a high schoold dropout can master, it can no longer be ignored.
It was easy to ignore 5000 radicals at various colleges. Even if they proved their point and showed the documetation, nobody would listen, and you couldn't get it aired to save your sole. But now we need no one else's concent or approval to get something really wide exposure.
But, be that as it may, the important part of this is not now widespread it is, but how adept the American public is at filtering the sewage from the wine. How well and how quickly the word spreads and the forged documents were found out. One day. One F*ing day!
The soulless creeps better keep their damned hands off my sole! And neither my soul, nor my sole, is for sale!
