A right to free speech is no excuse for lying.But apparently freedom of the press is...
The Wash Post link brought me back to this thread?

Snopes Shows Real Photo of Fonda And Kerry
Danielle, ‘genius’ — you have only the most feeble association with facts yourself. Jon Carry’s problems were not about private calumnies, it was all about very publicly stated charges and criticisms to which he had no (adequate) answers. The “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth” was comprised of around 200 patriotic, heroic war veterans who rose up against the vicious depraved calumnies that JOHN KERRY had directed against all Vietnam War veterans.
Arguably, calumny defeated John Kerry in 2004, and the infamous Swift boat television ads of that summer were, importantly, preceded by an aggressive Internet campaign begun that January that included perhaps the first viral campaign e-mail: a computer-generated image of Kerry and Jane Fonda beside each other on a podium at an antiwar rally. The image originally emerged at the Web site FreeRepublic.com, and Fonda had not in fact been at the event.
Horsesh**.
Utter rubbish
The Corbis photo, an authentic COLOR photo of Kerry and Fonda together at an antiAmerican (pro-North Vietnam war) rally (all of Jane Fonda's rhetoric was PRO-Communist victory over the US, including stateside)... anyway an authentic photo of them seated near each other had already surfaced.
The gag photo with caption was posted and almost immediately pulled. It seems that DUmmies did more to keep it alive on the internet because with it they could discredit (or at least cast doubt) on the real Corbis image (which for copyright reasons cannot be posted to FR).
Corbis and the presstitutes never seemed concerned that there is a parody photo of the REAL Corbis image that also has GWBush pasted into it.
The fake photo was strictly used by the Left to discredit the real one. FR did not tolerate the forged photo. Unlike SeeBS and their forged memos that AssPress also ran with for a week.
So, is Ms. Allen going to get JFK to sign the SF-180 and thereby disprove the SwiftVets television ads?

1. Out of the handful of people who heard this reported in the media, we all heard about it after we already voted and not for McCain. I asked dozens of Republicans and most didn't even hear about the fliers.
2. Wouldn't have mattered to me anyway.
We didn't want McCain then for some of the following reasons;
1. His part in the Keating Five scandal.
2. His ready acceptance of the Democrat crossover vote. The most common response from fellow Republicans “ Democrats don't choose our candidate”, something they forgot this year.
3. He was and still is just plain creepy.
* The people who printed the McCain smear fliers were most likely of the white sheet wearing variety and not known to have brains or be members of the Republican party.
Her writing is despicable. You almost sense even she doesn’t give credence to her own sentences.
Ms. Allen is niggardly with truth and facts. Though I’m sure that her use of obscure words is meant only to enlighten us hicks, who cling to guns, religion and the Constitution, I feel that her defense of Sen. McCain is disingenuous and duplicitous.
This is truly bizarre.. two Wapo articles on this subject? Both making heroes out of this woman who knows how to google? Both refusing to address the underlying claims? what shoddy journalism.
Bull. The Registered composite was touted far and wide by MSM outlets as an example of dastardly Internet deception well before the Swift Vets even formed. To claim that the composite was a major factor in Kerry's defeat is grotesquely dishonest. Even the leftist professor Ken Light, who took the photo Registered used and eventually filed suit against him, admitted in the Washington Post on Feb. 28, 2004 that "the Internet has come as close as it gets to a correction. If you use a search engine... you find the hoax explanation before you see the photo itself."
There's no shortage of evidence that Kerry and Fonda did in fact work together to achieve a common goal: US defeat in Vietnam. The two radical activists used exactly the same tactic - lying about US war crimes in an effort that was carefully coordinated with the Vietnamese communists. D. Allen wants to pretend that a trivial incident involving fake "evidence" had a major impact, so she can ignore the real evidence against Kerry that really did change minds.
That "arguably" in front of her "calumny" charge against the Swift Vets is a nice bit of weasel-wording. Allen obviously has no qualms about using innuendo when she can't find evidence. When her "genius grant" expires, expect to see Ms. Allen pumping out slipshod research and leftist polemics someplace like Media Matters.
Like Publius, Silence Dogood, Poor Richard, etc.?
Barack from Kenya or was it Indonesia?
He has a Muslim brother, I wonder about his mother.
He likes to toot his own horn, I wonder where he was born.
He has a lovely house, that's in a gangster's yard.
He thinks he'll become President, by playing the race card.
It is a little surprising, however, that the Washington Post is giving this scumbag an open-ended platform.
"D'oh!" What am I thinking.... No it's not.

As usual someone else has to do Danielle's job for her.
