Sorry Mary, but what came out of FR wasn't jihad, it was FACTS. Facts about font types, proportional fonts, centering, superscripting, etc. You were brought down by truth - not vitriol. So there.

Excellent! I was waiting for that line.

[Yossarian]

Oh no! She's caught on to the true EVIL nature of us Pajamadeen!

If you haven't seen it PJ-comix has used Mary's book as fodder for the DUmmy FUnnies.

It is priceless.

Mary, you should be thankful for being shown the Real World.
Did you live in a cave or what?

Hmmmmm,
I knew there was some poetic symbolism when I saw a car nearly get smoooshed by a huge flatbed of portapotties.

"It dawned on me that I was present at the birth of a political jihad."

She is talking about 60 Minutes. I had not realized she was with Dan Rather and 60 Minutes from its birth.

I was thinking the same thing. These people are so out of touch, it is unbelievable! They've created their own little world to live in, safe and sound, where they are always right.

Is that "progressive?"

[VoiceOfBruck]

She is convinced she was the victim of a group of loosely associated Internet bloggers...

It's not just a river in Egypt! Victim my butt.

She and Dan Rather committed fraud and FR/LGF nailed them! The "victim" of the crime is GWB who only ended up being assisted by their chicanery.

I still fail to see the logic in the continued dismissal of the forgeries. "But the story is esentially true!"

"This was something else, something new and fundamentally frightening," Mapes writes. "I had never seen this kind of response to any story.

Now you know not to make up $h!t. That's what happens when people find out they've been sold a bill of goods.

[fhlh]

Mary , you ignorant sl*t".... THINK before you try to fabricate a news story (lie) about our President..... The new media is here, it ain't going anywhere and it's keeping you jerks at the MSM inline!

"Within a few minutes, I was online visiting Websites I had never heard of before: Free Republic, Little Green Footballs, Power Line," writes Mapes... "They were hard-core, politically angry, hyperconservative sites loaded with vitriol about Dan Rather and CBS." "This was something else, something new and fundamentally frightening," Mapes writes

She hadn't been visiting DU, D-Kos, and other leftist blogs? It only shows two possibilities: (1) she's okay with the "vulgarity" of the left, but not of the right. (2) Err... she never visited any blog but called herself a 'credible' journalist?

Hey Map, guess what, c bs is not the only news outlet anymore.
