Drudge taking on the GOP/White House?
-snip-

Just look at a sample of Drudge's headlines, from one week early in September:

"FORCES STRAINING IN IRAQ MISSIONS, CONGRESS IS TOLD ... Army troops, Budget Stretched to the Limit."

"COUNTRIES WARY IN REACTING TO BUSH'S SPEECH ON IRAQ ..."

"ZOGBY POLL: Bush Numbers Hit New Low; Dean Tops List of Dem Presidential Contenders ..."

"Report Finds Size of Government Up Sharply Under Bush ..."

"Secret Pentagon Report Faults War Planning for Iraq ... "

"U.S. Lacks Manpower to Keep Current Occupation Force in Iraq Past March."

But if these 72-point screamers aren't exactly what you'd expect from a former Fox News Channel talk show host, neither is Drudge's relentless focus on government plans to snoop on average citizens. In recent months, Drudge has given attention to creepy surveillance programs like the CAPPS II airline passenger screening system and "Combat Zones That See," the Pentagon's plan to keep an entire city under watch.

1. Drudge is an outright idiot and should be ignored
Maybe he'll go away.

2. He is a fuckin asshole to be ignored.
A traitor to this great country of ours. Its guys like him thats messing with our lives. Its almost as if they have a mission to create misery and keep it high here in America.

They(Hannity, Rash, Oreally, etc) promote discord. They are full of the seven sins.

3. I honestly think he's trying to broaden his audience
That means using more material from both sides. Honestly, his site has gotten better. He still fucks around and throws up garbage sometimes, but compare what he's had up in the last month to what he had up a few years ago. COMPLETE difference.
