Of course, they are lying. We have done it twice of which I am aware. Once was for the military-hating Coast Guardsman. The other was some clown posting and sending e-mail to JimRob from some state's department of transportation computer while he was at work. He was bragging about how smart he was. When the bosses checked his computer and saw all the time he was stealing, he was canned. I almost reported a certain lunatic teacher to his school district but refrained. I don't know of other instances.

You might try sending a personal message. He can’t post but can read.

Doug, I think he's pulling your chain.

JUST as I suspected! Words cannot express how disappointed we all are.

"The left's in a panic. They're losing their grip and lashing out as their world collapses around them. Expect it to get worse as it progresses (this campaign season is just a taste of things to come)."

You have nailed the Leftykazis. They know that their strangle hold on information is being weakened each day.

They can no longer get by with spiking the good news for us and the bad news for them thanks to the internet and conservative talk radio.

Even more disastrous for them is losing their ability to lie, rewrite history and spin DNC mantras as news. For an example look at the NY Slimes and the trouble it got in for their lying editorial of no relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda.

Finally, their lunatic behavior can no longer be spiked nor promoted as normal. Their behavior at a certain funeral of one of their senators chased a lot of moderate voters away from their candidate.

Thanks to the Internet, the propagandists, aka 'news media' or 'the press,' are not the only source of information. Truth is also available now, although it is buried in the background noise on the Internet.

Widens the rift, huh? Gee, as a former lib who owes her epiphany in large part to the internet, I find the title hysterical. The internet is surely the worst thing that has happened to the Left in ages. Thank Heaven for the internet.

THAT'S IT!!! There's only so much a man can stand. He needs to tied up and be forced to watch a barbra streisand concert!

Wow, another "Evils of the Internet" story.

Ever notice how that when Old Media has a story on the internet it either involves kiddie-porn, political extremism or identity theft? Never do the sheeple hear anything positive about the internet because Old Media knows that they've lost their ability to spoon feed information to the masses.

Apparently that news is on the internet with pictures.

Personally, I am waiting for the pictures of you jay walking, drinking milk out of the carton and backing your gas sucking SUV up in your driveway without your seatbelt.

When those are posted you are toast!

Actually, one of Michael Moore's islamo photographers is stalking, er following you at a distance with his telephoto lenses.
