No offense, but I don’t recall being asked to be on your ping list, thanks.
Nah -- Bob J's a newbie. Actually, he and I signed up on the same day but I signed up a bit before him and got the screen name 'Bob'. (Sorry about that Bob.) His Freeper number is 48 and mine's 43.
You can find someone's number by going to their Profile and clicking on 'In Forum'. The address that it links to has the number on the end.
I remember the statement about the internet needing a gatekeeper.
That’s the date Jim started the registration process. I think I’m 37 or 39. It would have been lower but I had to work that day and didn’t register until I got home...heheh.
At the time no one imagined a registration number would mean anything to anyone else.
Oh ya, 48. How’s it hanging Grandpa? Heheh...
With google on her side, baby, it's in the bag.
Had to change my about page.
Interesting.
Ping.
sign me up, please. :D
Thanks for the welcome. ;-)
Many of us FR vets remember talking about the internet-posting operatives in the White House basement!
My number doesn’t really correspond with my original signup date under my original FR handle of “MadAsHell”.
The report blamed talk radio, online newsgroups and other New Media outlets for spreading “conspiracy theories” about the 1993 death of deputy White House counsel Vincent Foster. Hillary viewed these "conspiracy theories" as the number one threat to the Clinton White House, at the time.
The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy at its finest!
I remember the statement about the internet needing a gatekeeper.Gn 22:17 your descendants shall take possession of the gates of their enemies
Anyone With A Modem Can Report On The World
...[Hillary Clinton] said, "We're all going to have to rethink how we deal with the Internet. As exciting as these new developments are, there are a number of serious issues without any kind of editing function or gatekeeping function."
Independence From the Press Rocks the Gatekeeper's World
... the idea of the press as the great adjudicator has also been knocked down. ...
To say, “I don’t think newspapers can be the gatekeepers anymore,” as James O’Shea did, is to recognize an historic shift in the politics of information. It’s the sort of thing that can leave you stunned, angry, confused and depressed, if you have always thought of yourself as keeper of the gate. ...
Newspaper sale$ decline should be blamed on the Journos
...People who work at journalism full time ought to be able to do a better job of it than people for whom it is a hobby. But that's not going to happen as long as we "professional" journalists ignore stories we don't like and try to hide our mistakes. We think of ourselves as "gatekeepers." But there is not much future in being a gatekeeper when the walls are down.
She’ll get you and your little dog too!
And your tires, and your FBI files...
And yet those who demand “change” and an end to the snooping and chill wind of GW Bush want Hillary back IN office.

Citizen Media Comes To Washington
Posted by Danny | 09:35 AM
The Center for Independent Media, which operates the blogs Colorado Confidential, Iowa Independent, Michigan Messenger and Minnesota Monitor, is expanding its operations to Washington and is looking for a couple of leaders to run the shop.
First on the list is a Washington news editor. “You will develop news, investigative and feature stories with a team of full-time reporters and part-time contract contributors,” the job listing says. “You will combine the best of traditional journalism with the new paradigms of the Internet.”
The Washington news editor will work with Jefferson Morley, who earlier this month decided to leave The Washington Post to become the center’s national editorial director. “With Jeff’s magazine experience from The Nation and New Republic, daily newspaper experience from The Washington Post, and track record as an editor of the Post’s Web site, Jeff is ideally suited to help lead the way to the 21st-century newsroom,” David Bennahum, the center’s president and CEO, said in a statement.
The other job now being advertised for the center as a part-time (30 hours a week) managing editor. It entails training and supporting reporters, as well as recruiting new writers. The center is looking for candidates with at least two years of Washington experience in news or policy and also online news experience.
Here’s a description of the outfit from the job listing: “The center’s programs emphasize the importance of citizen-driven journalism as a critical founding principle of our nation, the positive role of democratically elected government in securing the common good and social welfare, and the continuing benefits of our founding culture of government by the people, for the people.”
The center figured in a blog scandal last year when folks at the Minnesota Monitor clashed with Republican blogger Michael Brodkorb of Minnesota Democrats Exposed over the appropriate way to disclose financial relationships on blogs.

Indeed, Anti-Freedom HILLARY RODHAM and BILL CLINTON are again pushing hard to eliminate the threat Free Speech in America has always posed to them.
Just like their Anti-Freedom hero Communist North Vietnam Dictator HO CHI MINH did during the Vietnam War.
For all during that war HO CHI MINH’s Communist propoganda arm Hanoi Radio kept telling the world over and over again that there wasn’t a single one of his North Vietnamese Army soldiers fighting inside a then Free South Vietnam.
Only problem = They were there in droves *
* See 5th Photo down that I personally took of 2 of HO CHI MINH’s North Vietnamese Army Soldiers we captured in battle ..inside.. a then Free South Vietnam at the very ..beginning.. of the Vietnam War in mid-November 1965:

So, be afraid ..America. Be VERY afraid...
..in a new time of war
..in a new century
..with our own Freedom now
..directly at stake
..right here at home,
And Anti-Freedom HILLARY RODHAM and BILL CLINTON pushing hard, just as hard as their hero HO CHI MINH did in Vietnam, to kill Freedom for us all in a still Free America.

I believe “Unknown Jerome” at DailyKos is a beneficiary of Blogola.

HILLARY RODHAM and BILL CLINTON’s, along with JOHN KERRY and TED KENNEDY’s, support for their Anti-Freedom hero Communist North Vietnamese Dictator HO CHI MINH’s push to take over a then Free South Vietnam during the Vietnam war ..horridly brought down upon a once Free South Vietnamese People:
