That Took Foerever: Beauchamp Story Collapses
The Weekly Standard ^ | October 24, 2007 | Michael Goldfarb

Posted on 10/25/2007 2:24:11 AM PDT by Puzzleman

The Drudge Report has posted a a series of documents that reveal the lengths to which the New Republic’s editors, specifically Frank Foer and Peter Scoblic, went to cover up the truth about the Scott Beauchamp stories. This is the end of the road, and a long road it's been.

Worked OK for me. Sounds like Beauchamp has a lot of pissed off fellow soldiers surrounding him. If he were not such a vile slug, I’d feel sorry for him.

I think I saw it was on LGF that the files were pulled after Drudge posted the link. Go to LGF and look through yesterdays posts and you will see 2 stories on it. The lastest tells you what was posted with copies of the original PDFS that were later deleted and the earlier post has the story about Drudge. I read it last night.
They buried themselves..LOL

It’s the link at the top of the WS article to the documents that I can’t access..
I have no pity at all for one who wants fame no matter what the cost to others on the battlefront.
Slug indeed.

It is now clear that somewhere along the way, TNR stopped acting in good faith and started doing damage control.

Ah, Nixon Syndrome. A venerable sickness.

Rather indeed! The internet again helps inject the truth into something that in the Golden Era of Broadcasting, when the Gatekeepers ruled, would never have seen the light of day.

Well, they started publishing back in 1914, if that helps to pin things down any. ;)

The documented library of the Left’s war on the truth is becoming quite the portfolio. I can’t imagine how it must feel to wake up in the middle of the night knowing that your campaign of imaginary and invented myths is being exposed for what they are.

The media Leftists got used to assuming that their lies and inventions would never get any sort of public exposure, other than from friendly fellow travelers who knew that the real truth must be dribbled out only AFTER the lies have had their effect (If at all).

The endless litany of false accusations and outright lies is growing exponentially:

1) Dan Rathers false-but-accurate National Guard story
2) The Plame game of dirty political tricks portrayed by the MSM as perfidy by the White House
3) Anthropogenic Glo-Bull warming
4) Hurricane Katrina = right wing hate of minorities
5) The Is-lamists were created by our invasion of Iraq
6) The war is “lost”
7) The surge is declared a failure before it begins
8) The DREAM act isn’t amnesty
9) “Comprehensive immigration reform” isn’t amnesty
10) Everything Iran does is only in reaction to what we (The USA)do or have done
11) The Duke LaCross players are guilty till proven innocent
12) The “Jena 6” is about white racism

Once again the mathematics of it prove irrefutable:

LIBERALISM + MSM = FILTH

Well done Carbonado - you have succinctly identified the long and growing list of fabricated liberal theology. I think you forgot to add “for the children.” It can be applied to any of the scriptures of spin - kinda like the lib version of the Lords Prayer. One thing I have always noticed about libtards, when real threats appear they always deny the threat and create a bogus threat. Today it is WOT versus Globull Warming. The bottom line is they are cowards. They would much prefer seeming brave against a phony enemy then actually being brave against a real one. I think they learn this mindset at college, its called deconstruction. But in reality it is denial of reality. Life for them is merely a make believe world where men and women of character don’t really exist.
