As a peruser of DU I have been following their reaction to the whole phony soldier story. At this point, they know they have lost, were caught, however you wish to put it, but refuse to accept defeat. One of the more telling threads I came across had this as the first response:
“Meanwhile, back in Iraq....”
This of course is meant to convey that the phony soldier story is keeping people from thinking about or talking about “important” issues and it is time to move on. It is also a very clear attempt to deflect. That in itself is a admission of defeat.
When confronted with the evidence of the manufacture of the attack on Rush, I have found that rather than discuss the issue, the majority of the comments, and I mean the VAST majority, are childish personal attacks on Rush, O’Reilly, Scarborough, or anyone else who dares question Mediamatters or any other member of the lynch mob.
They come across like little kids in a schoolyard who, failing to win a argument, resort to screeching and name calling. And they really hate it when the other side does does the mature thing by not screeching back in response.
The kool-aid drinkers are really admitting that it was a false story? I'm amazed...............
