I just switched my home page to google news (poltical section) yesterday. I have had it with Drudge and his bias against Gingrich.

Drudge probably lost 100 hits a day just from me.

sent mail to him telling him that his bias for Romney is way over the top and that now I will not use his site nor my family.

I haven’t visited the Drudge Report for years. I already have a 2 year head start on this boycott.

omg THIS AGAIN....?! I have been freeping for well over 10 years —I think I signed up 30 days after FR was born. I don’t like Romney at all —I want NEWT. But do people REALIZE how much Drudge has helped us? Ann was nutty, so they said SCREW ANN —she has helped us a lot also. And now they want to throw Drudge overboard, too —THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

Um...I think this is about what they've been doing recently.

Drudge sure isn’t helping us on Fast and Furious. I am only aware of one posting of the F&F story on Drudge. I found a thread saying that he had put it at the top with the siren. I was a half hour late to the thread and when I checked his site it was not only not the top story but nowhere on his site. How many hundreds of articles have been written about F&F in the last year and he puts up one for a half hour?

Except when posting?

I have gone through every electronic device I can find and deleted Drudge Report from all bookmarks and favorites. I am so, so done with him. I am only sad that while I was deleting the page from device after device that I accidentally clicked onto the page a few times.

Whether it's found or invented, we're not going to win by trying to cover it up. That might work for the Dems who have the MSM on their side, but not us.

If it was invented, we can refute it now instead of getting blindsided two days before the election. If it was found, we can discuss it now, again instead of getting blindsided just before the election.

okay, so then you will do what you have always done, because you have always done it, even though drudge was a cannibal devouring a conservative. I think we are probably talking about 5 minutes, or less, from when a story of worth breaks on Drudge to when it is posted here. Five minutes. I am from a military family, you are laughable.

Even if it is gossip and lies, I’d still rather have it out and refuted now instead of being blindsided two days before the election.

Has Matt Fudged ever posted these tantalizing tidbits?

http://gawker.com/5200009/drudge-i-do-not-love-sex-with-men

Drudge: ‘I Do Not Love Sex With Men’

4/6/2009

Drudge has never been said to particularly relish his homosexuality or embrace it; in fact his gay romantic/sexual side has been described (when alleged) as conflicted and awkward.

David Brock, the former right-wing writer, wrote in his memoir Blinded by the Right about a “scary” date in which Drudge, after bringing Brock flowers and navigating the Santa Monica gay strip “like a pro,” stepped on a competing suitor’s foot “really hard” (in Drudge’s purported words) in a nightclub to scare him away from Brock.

Alec Baldwin stated that Drudge made an advance on him in an ABC Studios hallway, a proposition that had “kind of a creepy quality to it.”

Drudge denied he was gay to the Miami New Times in 2001, even as he launched into a disquisition on (as the New Times put it) “the reigning DJ king of gay circuit parties” and summarized his nightlife thusly: “I go to straight bars, I go to gay bars.”

Ann Coulter Named Honorary Chair Of GOProud

“Ann helped put our organization on the map. Politics is full of the meek, the compromising and the apologists – Ann, like GOProud, is the exact opposite of all of those things. We need more Ann Coulters.”

The board includes some other names you may recognize as well: Margaret Hoover, Grover Norquist, Andrew Breitbart, Liz Mair, Chuck Muth, Lisa De Pasquale, Christian Josi, Roger Stone, Andrew Langer, Kathryn Serkes and Bob Carlstrom. Last year, Coulter was a big draw at GOProud’s first-ever Homocon event in New York City.
