ANTI-WAR PROTESTERS TARGET WOUNDED AT ARMY HOSPITAL
Wed Aug 2005 24 21:20:05 ET

Anti-war protestors besieged wounded and disabled soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C, a new web report will claim!

CNSNews.com is planning to run an expose on Thursday featuring interviews with both protestors and veterans, as well as shots of protest signs with slogans like “Maimed for a Lie.”

The conservative outlet will post video evidence of the wounded veterans being taunted by protesters, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Developing late...

[merh]

3. Sounds to me like a concerted effort to blame anti-war protesters

of the woes of the nation is underway. They hire a PR firm to send anti-anti-war protesters to Crawford. I wouldn't put it past them to hire provocateurs to do this and blame it on the anti-war movement.

:argh: I hate these evil, sneaky bastards. They will stop at nothing to keep their illegal, immoral war going and to destroy our nation.

:mad: :cry:

4. WTF is CNSNews?

Is this a Gannon organization?

[izzybeans]

11. Yep sort of, but it was "disaffiliated with it" his org. was a wing of it.

It used to be called conservative news network. There were some threads a while back about who ran it. I can't remember much else.

20. A guy I know works for them

An acquaintance - actually, the "Captain" of my Star Trek club - works for CNS. They're a web-only outfit that's basically a conservative aggregator for news. My friend is a decent guy, not one of these foaming-at-the-mouth conservatives. But hey, he got laid off from his job as an editor, and this place was hiring. They like him there.

15. Yikes

I'm beginning to think counter-propaganda and agent provocateurs. But then again, I'm skeptical of everything.

17. Well yes...apparently at least three of us were countering the counterers

so were something near a countererer or something. one of the threads was mine.

6. Its got Karl Rove written all over it

Hire some goons to play the part of war protesters.

Come on P J Fitzgerald, finish up your investigation and indict these guys.

7. Please don't give a link to his site..... ever

he gets PAID for each click. If you click on his site, you are paying for him to continue this shit. Is that something you want to be a part of?

[CatWoman]

9. You obviously are not acquainted with me

and my many rants on the same subject.

I found this story on another site.

As my subject line read, I very rarely go over to Drudge.

However, I chose to post this because:

1. It's such an outrageous story and needs to be debunked.

2. Skinner allows it.

[Maru Kitteh]

14. Sorry, no offense intended

I just LOATHE the idea of that slick slimeball making a single cent. I'd love to see him with a tin cup outside a train station stinking of his own urine.

It's just a little dream I have........

[DougieZero]

21. LOL

Rumor is that Drudge blew it. That military hospital is very well known... no one else has mentioned this all day. No news reports. None of the usual g protest groups are talking about it. There is nothing on google news or yahoo! news photos.

It dosen't seem like some sort of mass protest, maybe just a person with a dumb sign across the street.... drudge had a flashing siren at one point... sheesh..

18. Thank you.

I try to tell people the same thing. It's all about who receives the most hits.

12. Ba-Zing!

The spin machine just keeps on truckin'.

13. As explained by the wonderful Ben Burch...you can visit drudge & other

winger sites by doing the following:

type in the site name and add .nyud.net:8090

you only get the cache, not the site itself, and your click "doesn't count." For example

www.drudgereport.com.nyud.net:8090

try it, it takes a little longer to load is all.

[Maru Kitteh]

16. COOL! Hadn't seen that before.

would be great to have that on all sludge posts.

[AnnInLa]

19. I post it whenever I can, and also the advice from another DUer

NOT to click on links here at DU when you go to vote in a poll. Instead, copy and paste the link into your browser. That way, they can't tell that you came from DU, and discount your vote.

Please help me out, and post the 2 pieces of info whenever appropriate. Thanks!
