Drudge might have went easy on Obama during the 2008 primaries because he was afraid of Hillary being elected POTUS.

Remember it was Drudge that broke the Lewinisky story. I’m sure Hillary remembers that fact and Drudge was afraid of what Hillary would do to him (IRS audits, etc) if she was elected President.

DRUDGE has ticked me off over the Gingrich mess and his Romney love. Who would it benefit if DRUDGE fell off the map? I am still mad at DRUDGE but I am wondering about motive in this.

Drudge, Limbaugh, Coulter, Levin, Medved, Beck, Hannity, and the many other so-called "conservative" yappers caved, for some reason, when they failed to defend Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution and vet Obama in many other ways. They will do so again in 2012. They are entertainers! They "use" conservatives for their personal gain. We must not mistake them for courageous patriots.

The following is what Barry Farber wrote about Breitbart's death:

We have here one of three possibilities. A) Despite the breathtaking coincidences, Andrew Breitbart died a natural death; B) Somebody wanted Breitbart silenced and now smiles “Mission Accomplished.” Option C is yet more dire. Could this be the start of a campaign to silence the right with terror? Could we now be in that period between the first and second planes hitting the WTC?

And, if, God forbid, C is the answer, will we soldiers of media behave like Londoners standing up under the Nazi blitz? Or will we cave, quit fighting for America, paste on a happy face and look for cowardly things to be courageous about?

Agreed. Drudge has sold out and all he does is provide links anyway. No journalism here EVER. I really do think he feels like a hero.

But, IMO, Drudge is a businessman and muckraker first and foremost.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And....So are the other so-called yappers. ( Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Coulter, Medved, Levin, Steyn, and many of the rest). They failed to vet Obama in 2008 and failed to defend Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution.

If true tyranny comes to our nation, the so-called barking conservative yappers will sell their talents to the fascist oligarchy and spit shine the jack boots crushing our necks. Bet on it!

I pray that God will raise up true leaders.

Drudge is homosexual, hence he supports Obama.

I've heard this a couple of times. Is it an established fact?

David Brock, who used to write Clinton White House expose's for American Spectator, was turned by homosexuals working for Hillary, back when Brock started a book on Hillary. He was blackmailed and hauled all the way across the political spectrum. The hook was, he'd be socially blacklisted in gay-land if he didn't back off Hillary. He'd never get another date, never have sex again.

Then, after he backed off and left all the conservatives wondering why his (worthless) book came out as such a puff-piece, they shoved Brock the rest of the way by outing him in the New York Times (Frank Rich, who's gay himself -- as are very, very many Timesmen -- did that), which caused a lot of conservatives to pull away from Brock. He wound up eventually at Media Matters, droning for John Podesta, George Soros, and the Brotherhood of Evil.

David Brock was blackmailed and extorted. So that is how the other side likes to play. The same may be going on with Drudge, since he's a property worth having, and the Dems like to steal things -- Jim Jeffords, for example (who crossed the Senate aisle in 2001 and gave the Senate to the Dems after the Pubbies had won it).

“The video released today was nothing about silver ponytails. Does he have proof Obama was around Ayers in his college years?”

From Beitbart.com:

(For the record, this is only a portion of what Breitbart found.)

No mention of the illegal ‘occupation’ of Harvard law offices by Obama.
No not that Obama. His wife!

Michelle Obama.

But the tape is out there now.

‘Occupiers’ are not something new to the Obama’s.

It’s simple: Drudge despised Hillary and preferred to give good coverage to Obama.

Umm, have you ever seen Drudge? I saw him on tv during the Lewinsky thing. He is gay. No one had to extort him. The gays think Zero is their savior.

Drudge is a homo, and Barry likes him that way, so Drudge wants a homo (symp at least) in the WHite House. It’s as simple as that.

Homos are nothing but trouble. It’s gay uber alles for them.

Romney is pro homo, so Drudge prefers him. It’s so very enlightened, so unlike those horrible Christians.

Drudge didn't get Obama elected, Jon Stewart got Jon elected. Anyone who spent any time around college-age people should know that they were all voting to be able to sit at the Cool Table.

Without the Mean Girl, Jon Stewart, Obama would probably not have been elected because the stupid college kids would have stayed in their dorms smoking dope November, 2008.

Everyone on FR underestimates the reach and influence of this repulsive, dirty-mouthed creep on Comedy Central, at least in 2008.

Now, Drudge may have been trying to curry favor at the Cool Table. But he didn't get Obama elected.

I find the story and timing odd and honestly I feel like I am living in alternate universe and it is getting stranger everyday.

Alternate universe - the culture we grew up in just disappeared like a puff of smoke. Was everyone just pretending?

Drudge has changed, but I think you're right. I think he acts like a rich man now, LOL.

The POTUS was exposed as complicit in offering forged documents to legitimize his presidency and you hardly heard a peep about this from any of the conservative pundits/outlets...therefore I am totally dumbfounded...now, it would not surprise me if Drudge was Obama’s boyfriend.

Ever do a metasearch (not on Google, I think they'll filter it) for "Man's Country"? Reasons not far to seek.

Rahm's ballet-days "studio still" photos are out there still, too.

No wonder the Russians wouldn't shake hands.

I have never thought that Matt Fudge was a conservative.
