Noonan: Reagan Commemoration Driving Media Nuts (NewsMax)
"[Journalists] are willing, over the next few days, to concede what is so obvious that they have to concede it - his personal goodness, etc.," Noonan told Matt Drudge on his radio show.
Perhaps it was content. She told me that a few others called before me to say that Joe Lieberman was excommunicated, but they were not put through, either. I guess I just don't trust Lynne Samuels because of her strong liberal stance. I hope Drudge's trust in her is well founded.
Just as there is presently a website started by lay Catholics, www.CatholicsAgainstKerry.com, to let Catholics know that John Kerry is not a true Catholic, it seems that this was an equally important story in 2000.
Here's an excerpt on the story, if anyone is interested:
Jewish Court Excommunicates Lieberman
By Scott Hogenson

1st write thru: adds details, background
(CNSNews.com) - A rabbinical court in Brooklyn, New York has taken the unusual step of excommunicating Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential hopeful on Al Gore's ticket.
The New York Torah Court stated that Lieberman caused "grave scandal" for the Jewish religion "by the fact that, while claiming to be an observant Jew, Lieberman has been misrepresenting and falsifying to the American people the teachings of the Torah against partial birth infanticide, against special privileges and preferential treatment for flaunting homosexuals, and against religious intermarriage of Jews."
Rabbi Joseph Friedman, a spokesman and participant in the rabbinical court, said in a statement that Lieberman "violated our sacred Torah by his Senate votes upholding partial birth infanticide and legitimizing homosexuality, which abnormal and unhealthy behavior the Torah strongly condemns as sinful and immoral." Friedman was traveling abroad Monday and not available for comment.

Are you talking about a recent attempt to discuss this older story from 2000 or a recent attempt to bring it up?

Actually, I was wondering if any other conservative had problems getting through to Drudge, because of Lynne Samuels (his screener).
President Bush won the election by only around 275 votes (Florida), and in another close election (2004), a liberal screener could make the difference.
For instance, what if an Orthodox Jew (or 275 or them) would not vote for the Gore/Lieberman ticket because they found out that Lieberman was not a true Orthodox Jew.
Some Catholics will not vote for Kerry, because he is not a true Catholic. Some Catholics will vote for Kerry, because they THINK he is a Catholic.
I see what you're asking, but I guess the chips just have to fall when it comes to elections. I haven't heard any specific instances of conservative callers being shunned. Drudge is, after all, conservative himself. But I'll keep my ears open.
Thank you and thanks for a great post and thread.
I blame the House. Just like I credit them under Nute for balancing the budget. If I blame Bush I would have to credit Clinton. Truly the Senate is screwed, Stuff that comes out the house is doubled when the senate gets to it.
