Mary Mapes, the former CBS News Sixty Minutes producer who lost her job in the wake of the Rathergate scandal has published an essay entitled The Monster is Dying at the Huffington Post celebrating the pending victory of Barack Obama and the demise of her conservative internet tormenters, including Free Republic.
Mapes likens the domination of conservatives and the McCain-Palin campaign to Fifties sci-fi flicks where the mad scientist gets it in the end but the pretty female assistant survives.
Mapes, who was fired after forged documents were used in a Sixty Minutes hit piece on President George W. Bush in September 2004 in an effort by CBS News to undermine Bush's re-election bid, mocks Republicnas for using "phony" imagery and "bogeymen."
An excerpt from Mapes' gloat-fest:
Americans aren't responding to the old plays -- the fake fears, the faux outrage, the conservatives who yell "Communist" at the news cameras, the pompous right-wing bloggers who once held such sway.
I know all too well how scary and effective these old tactics were in 2004.
Today, they are toothless.
Ha, ha.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing once swaggering players like Powerline, Free Republic and Little Green Footballs forced onto the sidelines, left to limply watch this campaign pass by like a parade in which they play no meaningful part.
They just don't matter anymore.
...and spent.
bitter beotch ping
Which is why such news orgs are going out of business.
I’d take this seriously if she had a respectable, ethical, honest, dependable character....BUT SHE DOESN’T.
Hey Mapes, I gotta believe your out there reading these posts....first thing I taught my children is that the most important thing you have is your character. You lose that and you have nobody that can respect you...
GUESS how you’re thought of?....
Didn’t we become big when Clinton was in office? I think we could see even more growth
Thanks for your opinion Mary—
Now, back to work! I’d like a large coffee, no sugars, and room for cream.
Who would hire her? A confirmed liar and forgerer.
Mary.....you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
Mary “doesn’t matter” more.
Demise? Sounds like a threat. But then, that’s what they do.
“Mary Mapes Gloats...”
Oh. I thought that said “Mary Mapes Blows Goats.”
My bad! :P
We won’t go away, but they’ll do their best to make sure we’re not heard from again,
using the government to silence dissenting opinion on the airwaves and the internet.
It’s because their ideology is logically indefensible, and whenever they enter the arena of ideas, they get brutally defeated.
It was worse than just forged documents - the documents were made up out of whole cloth!
For all the people considering a protest third party vote, these are the people you are enabling.
Hey, Mary.......
Still BITTER much? BWWWwwwwwaaaahaahahahahahaha!
Why does she think the Freepers will go away?
“I know all too well how scary and effective these old tactics were in 2004.”
Yes ma’am, we ran the tag on that Mack truck that ran you over: `FR POWN U’.
