Excellent points...thank you.

[Kackikat]

You are welcome.

Get your HAZMAT on, Suit Up, and let’s make a difference now, while they are still whining about Corsi’s book. Let’s hit, hit, hit, so they have so many holes they don’t know who to attack next. IT needs to be “an all hands on deck” assault! We’ve only got a few weeks, so let’s not waste time. I’m writing everywhere I can...but I’m only one person, so any and all are appreciated.

It has to come from all sides. If you can do UTUBE videos, do it. If you can write articles on public sites, do it. If you can comment on bash articles against us, do it. Make it AN ALL FRONTS ATTACK. THERE ARE MORE INTELLIGENT AMONG US THAN THEM...go people, now is the time to steamroll the dems, and don’t let them catch their breath.

YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN will thank you for participating if we can defeat them at their own tactics of trying to influence the internet.

[Kackikat]

So many FR’s are talented, and can do videos, plus use pics in OBAMATRUTHFILE on FR, with articles of info not being used by Elite Media. Absolutely, we have to be tactful and use truthful points that dispute what they are saying.
If I could use UTUBE I would, but writing is my best weapon, since I am somewhat electronically challenged. My blogs are a struggle at times. Thanks for your input, it’s right on.

[Kackikat]

Our email list is effective somewhat, but the public forums are best...some sport 100,000-1 million members, like facebooks, myspace, ezinearticles...etc. Thanks.

We can also start up free websites in geocities.com Basic knowledge of html code is all one needs to make pages there. It’s really kool to have your own home page with your favorite links anyway— such as checking for weather, your favorite spots, even searches of some of your FReeper friends if you like.

Then every time you click to your home page, it increases your search engine positioning. Also, you can mention things about Obama Nation. That way, as the search engine position [of positive messages] increases, it will cause the postitioning of negative messages to get buried. Clever FReepers can swap private messages about how to raise their search engine positioning— which is key in something like this.

[Since I suggested this, please don’t private message me any questions. But you can google-search for tips on how to increase your search engine positioning.]

Paul Waldman of Media Matters said Swift Boat Veterans are liars.

And he is working with an ADMITTED LIAR, David Brock!

A declaration of war

This week, the conservatives declared war.

Not on The New York Times. Not even on the media in general. No, this week the entire conservative movement -- from the White House to Republicans in Congress to Fox News to right-wing talk radio to conservative magazines -- declared war on the very idea of an independent press.

They declared war on the idea that journalists have not just the right but the obligation to hold those in power accountable for their actions. They declared war on the idea that journalists, not the government and not a political party, get to decide what appears in the press. They declared war on the idea that the public has a right to know what the government is doing in our name.

This is a profound threat to our democracy, and we underestimate it at our peril.

Here at Media Matters for America, we spend a great deal of time pointing out the news media's faults and missteps. But we do so because we believe in journalism, because we want journalism to fulfill its sacred obligations to the public, because we know that even in the world's oldest democracy, a free press is what stands between us and tyranny. The right wing, to put it plainly, does not share this belief.

There is a reason the Founders singled out the press for special protection when they wrote the Bill of Rights. It was because they understood that without an independent, free, aggressive, courageous press, democracy itself is impossible. When the government decides who gets to report the news and what they get to say, we no longer live in a free society. When journalists live under threat of prosecution and even violence, we cease to be citizens and become only subjects.

The right has kept the media under constant assault for decades, and the response from the media has been to bend over backward to prove they aren't biased -- by being harder on Democrats. They should have learned long ago that the "liberal bias" charge has absolutely nothing to do with the content of the news. It is a political strategy, a way of "working the ref" and providing easy excuses for public rejection of the right's goals. But what we have seen this week is something qualitatively different.

Given the constant drumbeat of criticism directed at the media from conservatives, it might be easy to dismiss this latest expulsion of bile as just more of the same. But it's worth stepping back to take a look at exactly what has occurred over the past week. Members of Congress have suggested revoking the Capitol Hill credentials of journalists, so that only news organizations that do not displease the ruling party may be permitted to report from Congress. Other members have accused members of the media of "treason" and advocated their prosecution. A conservative television and radio personality suggested that the government establish an Office of Censorship to screen the news. Another said, "I would have no problem with [New York Times editor Bill Keller] being sent to the gas chamber." The House of Representatives passed a resolution saying it "expects the cooperation of all news media organizations."

In short, the right assembled a posse this week -- vigilantes stalking television studios, radio airwaves, print, and the Internet, their apparent goal to revoke the First Amendment.

Yes, Paul Waldman, is a LIAR!!!

Big surprise! /s

This is a great idea...however we only need one website on there, don’t we, or should we have more? If someone who is a website geek would do this it would be appreciated...my blogs take a lot of time, and it is trial and error for me sometimes. Someone who is good at this type of thing should take it on, and I’ll promote it wherever I write. I have a myspace page, and belong to some of the social medias...so I can drop the webaddress onto them, wherever I write.
Any volunteers? I am open to private emails here for more info, if we want to keep who is doing this from being bombarded by the left. They are monitoring FR, and said they would try to bring harm to opposers of Obama. I know some of you are really smart with technology.

Paul Waldman:

“We’re angry that when we talk about ending this monstrous war, the soulless hypocrites who are glad to send more and more men and women to be scarred and maimed and killed in Iraq have the gall to accuse us of not “supporting the troops.” We’re angry that people whose actions exhibit nothing but contempt for freedom and liberty and justice, who wouldn’t know real patriotism if it came up and smacked them across the face, pin a little flag on their lapel and say that we’re the ones who hate America.”

“We’re angry that America may now be the only country in the world in which torture is an officially sanctioned policy, proclaimed proudly in public. We’re angry that in our name prisoners are subjected to sleep deprivation, water boarding and other forms of psychological torture to the point where they are literally driven mad.”

“We’re angry because every other industrialized country in the world has a single-payer health care system that works, and we pay more for ours than any of them, yet we have 45 million people with no health insurance. “

“We’re angry that the federal government is brimming with people fundamentally opposed to the mission of the agencies over which they preside, the anti-environmentalists who run the Interior department, the mining company lobbyists in charge of mine safety and the union-busters in charge of worker safety. We’re still angry about Hurricane Katrina, that our government left thousands of its citizens stranded to suffer and die.”

“We’re angry that our government sends religious fundamentalists around the world to discourage condom use, thus condemning untold numbers of people to unwanted pregnancy, disease and death.”

“We’re angry that forty years after the Voting Rights Act, the Republican Party continues to exploit racism and do everything in its power to stop black people from voting in each and every election. We’re angry that in the richest country in the world we can’t seem to find our way to a system in which you go to the polls, cast your ballot and know that it will be counted. And yes, we’re still angry about what happened in Florida in 2000, that through lying and cheating and pure luck the Republicans were able to steal a presidential election, and five unprincipled partisans on the Supreme Court helped them do it. We’re angry that every time we look at Al Gore all that pain and frustration and outrage comes bubbling up through our guts no matter how hard we try to “get over it.””

“We’re angry because a repellent ghoul like Ann Coulter can regularly advocate the murder of people with whom she has political differences, yet continue to get invited on the Today Show. We’re angry that journalists who ought to know better tut-tut progressive bloggers for using dirty words but don’t blink an eye when conservatives spew forth the most abominable hatred and calls for violence that one could imagine.”

“We’re angry that there is not a single show on cable news in which a progressive is given an hour to spout off his or her opinions, but that privilege is given to the likes of Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck and John Gibson and Tucker Carlson and Joe Scarborough and all the other two-bit electronic hucksters of phony aggrievement.”

I'm an ‘antique geek’ [guess you could call me that anyway]. My home/search page is cheesy, but it's a quick load for landlines:

http://us.geocities.com/forceofreedom/search.html

The more hits, the higher the search engine positioning. So if people want to make it their temporary home page, feel free. It's freeper-friendly. I could even add more weather report links or other links if that helps anyone.

First I used rhetorics ‘Obama Nation Sux, Right?’. Some people like to google adding the word ‘sux’ to see what ‘the other point of view is’.

I topped the page with a google link to “Obama Nation”, “Jerome Corsi”, and “utility room”. I also deleted some stupid heckler from the google search. The link will change daily, but currently it has a free republic hit at the top of google. Come to think of it, I'll change it to only the Free Republic hits.

[Kackikat]

Waldman has a mental problem.

[Kackikat]

I checked it out, its cool; and we all need one it seems to make the search engine positioning change from neg to pos.
It’s free and one page is enough..if I can undestand the instructions then anyone can. I was concerned it was like building a webpage on a website, but its more like a blog page...which is easier. In a few minutes, at most half hr, it can be done..and I’m working on one.

We should post our web address like you did on FR with our comments; then we can connect to each other pushing the search engine positioning faster; and be linking to other places at same time...YOUR IDEA IS GREAT.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Good suggestion. I have a search engine link at my home page. It’s freeper friendly, easy load:

http://us.geocities.com/forceofreedom/search.html

[The link to Obama Nation will be aimed at Free Republic posts— two birds with one stone. I can also wash out DU ankle biters. While I try to ‘sound’ like a DU ankle biter myself. Rotten, but oh well.]

Anyone can make that his or her temporary home page [to jack up search engine positioning], but others could make better ones than me. Mine’s made mainly for quick loading.

Please feel free to offer suggestions. I could strip down the page, add info, direct links, etc.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

[And you got the ball rolling!]

Oh yes, I forgot that there are more user friendly versions of geocities.

To everyone else— your own free, CUSTOMIZED home page— just some ads on the side bar. Cut out all the junk you normally load:

http://us.geocities.com/

Here’s mine if they’d rather someone else did it:

http://us.geocities.com/forceofreedom/search.html

I do hope better ones come along than mine. Someone might even pay a few bucks and have no ads.

[If you make one, please put in a link or two about Jerome Corsi and his book.]

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I thought I could handle the critics at wikipedia, but frankly, I don’t remember much about the Swiftboat controversy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome_Corsi

Wikipedia’s search engine positioning is high up there.
