1. That's hilarious

And they are trying to justify rumours of the affair in the thread.

BTW, ever notice that Bush and Condi seem really close?

4. I wish I could reply to THIS one...

>>Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley spoke at a Kerry fundraiser on June 28, 2004 and said this:

"I remember after the attacks of September 11, as Mayor of the city, I was very, very worried about Al Qaeda... and still am. But I am even more worried about the actions and inactions of the Bush administration."

>>More worried about Bush than AQ? ... When was the last time that Bush flew some aircraft into buildings?

Uh...September 11?

5. They're talking about Buckhead too - the freeper who is an attorney

in Atlanta. The LA Times figured out his identity and published it in an article. Buckhead was the freeper who claimed to "just figure out all by myself in my pajamas" that the Dan Rather memo was fake.

Buckhead also took part in the "riot" down in Miami in 2000 that shut down the recount - he and a bunch of other attorneys sent by the White House.

Oddly enough, the "evidence" that Buckhead presented was fake itself. How did it arrive at Buckhead's fingertips within minutes of the 60 Minutes episode?

Now we find out that "Jeff Gannon" is linked to the same news service that promoted the Dan Rather hoax.

Ehrlich Aide Ousted Over O'Malley Rumors
Web Postings, E-Mail Spread Affair Gossip


Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley yesterday accused agents of Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s administration of spreading false rumors that he had an extramarital affair, and Ehrlich responded hours later by dismissing a longtime employee.

The mayor, a Democrat considering a bid for governor in 2006, said he believes that the widespread and persistent rumors were part of a "concerted and orchestrated and sustained" effort and called on the Republican governor to apologize to his wife and children. "I don't think any of us run for office expecting that this sort of hurt will be heaped on our kids or our spouses," O'Malley said.

Ehrlich said an apology was premature and denied any personal involvement in spreading the rumor. He then asked for and received the resignation of Joseph Steffen, a longtime aide working in state government. Steffen confirmed yesterday that he had discussed the rumor on a popular conservative Web site and in private e-mails, which were given to The Washington Post.

I'm glad the Dem mayor spoke out and got this little punkass fired. Did you see his post?

"How in the world did they find out he was NCPAC?"

No one can figure that out.

What can I say other than the Governor had no knowledge whatsoever of any postings on FR. For the record, I offered to resign before being asked to do so. And, no, I have not spoken directly with the Governor about any of this.

The Baltimore Sun will be running a piece on this as well on Wednesday. They called Tuesday night and were ready to pin the whole thing on the Governor, and I couldn't let that happen because it simply isn't true. The Governor had no knowledge of anything involving O'Malley or the "rumors."

Also, the Baltimore Sun has a list of FReepers they read off to me to see if I was "also" posting under those screen names. I don't remember all of them, but CrushKerry was one.

It's been one wild ride, FRiends.

7. So the Free Republic members are congratulating this guy,

for having the courage to stand up and admit he spread false rumors about the Mayor having an affair?

I never knew it was courageous these days to mark someone through lies. :eyes:

8. A strange sense of honor and integrity, no?

But, then again, they think Bush and Cheney are men of honor and integrity, so we shouldn't be surprised when they support one of their own who engages in unsubstantiated rumor mongering. I mean, it is FreeRepublic, afterall.

10. Erhlich should be worried, O'Malley is pretty popular in Baltimore

and Erhlich just isn't well liked in MD.

We should be able to get this state back in Dem hands!

11. Silly Freepers, there is NO anonymity on the internet. NONE!

Seriously, there is ALWAYS a way to trace the traffic back to the origin. ALWAYS. FR doesn't even need to log IPs. If he ever once visited FR from work and was logged in, BANG, they've got him!

It really doesn't take much courage for me to use my real name because if somebody wanted to know who I really was, they would find out.
