Anyone notice that conservative sites are falling silent about Rove?

[The Night Owl]

An ominous silence is growing at conservative sites that have been, until recently, furiously carrying water for Rove.

The more information is revealed about the Plame case, the less willing right wingers seem to talk about it.

1. No offense, I spend zero time at "conservative" sites.

I get all the propaganda I need from my daily newspaper.

4. Yeah, ditto.

You could ask, "Notice that all the conservative sites have disappeared?" and it would be news to me (except maybe a I might hear a co-worker in the next office muttering about not being able to access Smudge or something).

2. They were ordered to bury the story and like the good little bots they are

they are dropping it. They are closing their eyes and holding their breath and hoping it will all go away.

[whistle]

3. I don't go to conservative sites on the web, get enough of their....

....mind numbing propaganda from the local talk shows and newspaper.

5. It's the only strategy left

It's their way of dealing with it:

Stick finger in ears and say loudly
LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-CAN'T-HEAR-YOU-LA-LA-LA

6. Because this is an Ongoing Investigation and their actions now

could be looked on as part of the conspiracy to maliciously attack Wilson. Its Not over!!!

7. They're hoping it will go away if it's not mentioned

8. conservatives

I don't hang out with conservatives either but I am in a group that has conservatives on it.

Yesterday I asked a question about the Rove situation. What I asked was.........why would the administration choose to speak on an 'ongoing criminal investigation' in '03 and '04 but now (when their boy is in trouble) why is it suddenly unethical for them to speak about an 'ongoing criminal investigation'?

I only got one response to the question and that response said something about convicting someone without having been judged by a trial or jury. I still observed they didn't answer the question!!!

They must be copying their leader of hypocrisy..........Bush!!

9. getting harder and harder to spin that piece of shit

yes INDEED

[Lecky]

10. it's because they were dying for the story to go away

They hate being on the defensive, it's hard work to constantly lie yourself into complete denial.

11. I used to link to FR from threads, but not any more

Either post the content (if you must) or I just ignore the thread.
