It is sad, there were many freepers who were certain this was true, I spoke to a few, they were not just wishful thinking, they believed it. I despise API for using Free Republic and other sites the way they did.

Fortunutely, they've lost all credibility now and forever.

When I first read this, I was skeptical but thought maybe it could be legit.

After their self-imposed deadlines kept coming and going.....

Maybe they’ll also print those Rove indictments that No Quarter which is promoting this was promoting during the Plame dance of the seven veils.

I see the sting now...

API will claim that they gave the ONLY copy of the tape to FNC. Then they will claim that FNC reneged and withheld the tape from the American voters in order to protect Obama.

This is a plot to destroy FNC's credibility after the election.

This whole API thing kept reminding me of something- and I couldn’t place it til just now.

It reminds me of this entire campaign of Obama’s. At first- there’s a rush of adreneline and millions of “followers”...willing to “believe”.

Time passes..and different kinds of people begin to ask questions about the background of the leader. They question his veracity. They point out times where he said contradictory things and yet a core group defends and finds excuses for everything he does or doesn’t do.

Soon, logcial, sensible people walk away in disgust, anger or disappointment- but a large group cannot help themselves- they hang on, justifying and rationalizing even the most outrageous claims made by the leader.

The next thing- people who disagree, rebel or call BS are banned from further comment- their IP addresses and emails are made public on the webiste.

Mass manipulation is an interesting phenomenon to watch. I am not immune either- for a week or so I was hooked by the WHAT IF of it all..

I never posted over there- because my GUT always said- something is off with this whole site...exactly the way my gut tells me something isn’t right with Obama.

Exactly, they don’t deserve to have a news organization, I would post some comments over there but I don’t want my information broadcast all over the place, they are true pondscum.

I couldn’t judge if they are deserving. But ...their credibility ranks right up there with the American MSM.

Thoughtful analysis.

I think some of the obamamessiahmaniacs are too far gone to know they’ve been had. I know, my mother is one.

Hoping to snare conservatives and fox news before the election.
