Hint, Free Republic had nothing to do with it. Looks like a Democrat Party set up to me.
This story is like flipping over a dried cow patty....just when it crusts over and stops stinking, something comes along with a stick......

Not meaning YOU, JR....
Most definately a set up...I will be willing to bet its someone he knows...in his own office.
Picture this: He mentions in passing that he posts to FR over lunch somewhere...
A person not to fond of him over hears of his 'freeping' and decides to target him.
How else would they know not only that its him, but to target him via freepmail?
One more thought - remember how the linguists caught the author Joe Klein(?) author of The War Room (?) by examining his use of phrases/words cliches etc.,
That would be a start....to compare to the WaPo article.
just pondering.
Yep and their activities make reading post and replies a much more serious undertaking these days.
One participant working under the handle MD4BUSH, whose identity is unknown, drew Steffen into a private conversation and appeared to coax him to share more details about his role in spreading the rumor. Copies of those chat room e-mails were later provided to The Washington Post.The Oct. 18 conversation began with MD4BUSH complimenting Steffen and saying how obvious it was that the rumors about the mayor were true. Steffen, writing under the name NCPAC, replied...
A few weeks later, MD4BUSH contacted NCPAC again, asking, "If some of my friends and I were interested in keeping the story floating, do you have suggestions for us on how best to do it?"
Here, Steffen backed away: "I am sure you will understand, I cannot and will not offer suggestions that may be considered unethical concerning what you should do, campaign-wise. This is especially true concerning MO'M's personal life."

Lots of us in Maryland think that it was a Doug Duncan (Montgomery County) ploy against O'Malley, with a ricochet hittimg Ehrlich via Steffen.
I hope they are right. I love to see RATs eating each other.
Thanks for the info everyone. As the web turns another day...
