It will go under some day, until then it will continue to be a liberal cause. Wealthy liberals will give money to keep Salon going on "principle" (propaganda) rather than ever expecting to see a financial return on their investment.
Page 82, Treason:
The story began with a bitter dispute within the Voice of American about where to locate a satellite transmitter. It appeared to be more than a technical dispute. . .The peculiar ken of some government engineers to locate the VOA transmitter where it was useless raised obvious questions.Ray Kaplan was among those who opposed the Seattle installation . . .Kaplan was happy to testify. But before he got the chance, Kaplan committed suicide by leaping in front of a truck. He left a suicide note, saying 'When the dogs are set upon you, everything you have done from the beginning of your life is suspect.' Liberals assume..."the dogs" referred to McCarthy."
(and you have to get the photo from the web)
LOL! Perhaps, but not like MTV slutty.

How to post a picture: <img src="?" height="" width=""> (?=the address of the picture)
In this case the picture address is: http://www.freerepublic.com/images/frlogo.gif
the image height is 130, the width is 150
(It's from the FR home page)
<img src="http://www.freerepublic.com/images/frlogo.gif" height="130" width="150"> =Be sure to add the height and width sizes if at all possible. It allows the threads to load more efficiently.
About now you may be wondering. How do I find the picture address, height, and width?
Some pointers on formatting images:
If you use an IE browser, and see a graphic you want to bring to the FR forum, just right-click on the graphic, and look at the "Properties" menu. Then highlight the "Address" listed in the Properties window, right-click on the selected Address, and choose "Copy" from the popup menu. Now the address of the chosen graphic is in your Windows clipboard, ready to be pasted.As an example, the "China Spy Guide" graphic on FreeRepublic contains this address: http://www.freerepublic.com/images/prcexports.jpg
In order to place it on a Reply page, I would normally center the image, and add a caption underneath:
<P>
<CENTER><IMG SRC="http://www.freerepublic.com/images/prcexports.jpg" height="120" width="120"><BR>
China Spy Guide</CENTER>
<P>
The above HTML shows up as:
China Spy Guide
He doesn't mention either that McCarthy investigated the VOA becasue there was a revolt going on in the agency. Anticommunist actually formed a group to fight what they saw as a pro-Soviet slant by higher ups. Wire service copy (which always ran clean) going to Central America was being changed by editors. In one case, a local anticommunist rally in support of Eisenhower was referred to as a "pro-democracy" rally. "Democracy" and related words had been totally co-opted by communists south of our border. Anyone reading it would assume communists, or those on the far left, were at the rally.
Some interesting McCarthy hearing testimony was posted last night on this thread:
STATEMENT OF SGT. BARRY F. RHODEN (The McCarthy Transcript Liberals Do Not Want You To Read) ^
(Don't miss "Mr. Hacko" later down in the thread. He went into a screaming incoherent fit over being called to testify. He didn't get his turkey for dinner.)
Dear Mr. Conason,I occasionally read your articles and never before felt compelled to visit your email box. However, there are a couple of things you wrote to which I want to respond.
First: >>And perhaps more pertinently: "What's being lost here is the Republicans' lack of understanding of Judaism. They're decrying the behavior at 'Paul Wellstone's funeral' on Tuesday. The fact is, the funeral was Monday. Tuesday was the post-funeral celebration of his life -- a long-standing Jewish tradition ... This is how his survivors chose to celebrate his life. If the Republicans don't like it, it's none of their damned business." (The Norwegians and Swedes may be too reticent to send in their interpretations.) <<
That's just not true. There is no such "long-standing Jewish tradition" of raucous celebration so soon after a death. In fact, the only Jewish traditions regarding death involve grieving, mourning, solemnity, comforting mourners, etc.
You might find this link informative and interesting, regarding how death and mourning are treated in the Jewish religion: http://www.myjewishlearning.com/lifecycle/Death.htm -- with particular attention to the section on "The Mourning Period."
If people want to have a raucous, political rally days after the tragic death of a man, his wife and their daughter, so be it -- but please don't let anyone con you into believing that it's part of Jewish tradition.
Oh, and as for why Mrs. Clinton was just about booed off the stage of Madison Square Garden last year, I don't know exactly why the fire fighters did so (although I have some good hunches), but I'm sure that the cops' vigorous response to seeing her up there at their event brought back memories from her campaign the previous year. Especially when she very publicly called four NYC cops "murderers" when they were about to go on trial re: the Diallo shooting. I mean, she did this right when jury selection began -- didn't she (or someone on her staff) realize that such harsh words from her about the 4 cops would make big news here?! (FYI: they were acquitted after a very brief deliberation period)
I just thought I'd share those two bits of info with you.
Best wishes,
(NYC GOP Chick)
New York, NY
