Tony Snow's name and all of his posts have been pulled from fr** republic.

[Fridays Child]

Tony who? We ain't never heard of no Tony Snow 'round here (spit).

Yeppers, scrubbed all clean and shiny, kids! Agent Mike must have seen the thread over here, last night, about Tony's FR membership because it has now slid down the old memory hole like the well-oiled turd that Tony is.

[helderheid]

1. holy moly! Any chance we can find him on

www.internetarchive.org ?

[merh]

2. Did anybody do screen captures?

I sure hope so.

159. Screen scrape and Mozilla history!

As a relatively new DU newbie, can someone please explain to me in layman's terms what is being referred to? I know WHAT a screen scrape is, but are you looking for browser history from the cache. In my job, it affords me a lot of time doing market research. I am just looking for any guidance that can get me going down the right path to becoming your A #1 (well maybe not that much) person as a web pack rat. Anyone willing to take this one?

Thanks,

181. Sorry. I can't help you with those things.

Perhaps you could post that question in one of our specialized DU groups or forums.

It might be a good idea to back-up those pesky emails somewheres safe. :rofl:

[underpants]

3. I'm confused-does Snow have some relevance or credibility?

or is this just some free national publicity for the WH press core (the last being the male prostitute in their midst)?

Does the suit and the haircut and the tallerness (than Scottie) mean something?

Am I missing something important?

[NewJeffCT]

176. just another example of a poor background check

These are the people that hired Kerrick for Homeland Security, and then later it was found that he had all sorts of problems in his past.

4. Question about Snow

What will be different about his job at the White House as compared with his job at Fox? Oh wait! I know! He may actually have to invent some new answers now.

[me b zola]

92. It will no longer be an outside line calling with the talking points...

...now he'll just get passed the interdepartmental memo.


Snow taking this position may galvanize the rabid right's support for bush**, but it may well galvanize former fence sitters against bush** AND fox.

[bullimiami]

5. it will be so awesome if he becomes press secretary for bushco.

it will undermine the honesty of fox, snow and bushco even further.
and just imagine 'another snow job' as a headline over an over.

[JackBeck]

9. Can you imagine the uproar over there

if Dan Rather was the Press Secretary for a Democrat?

Hypocrisy at its finest.

[Dinger]

50. What Is Dan Up To These Days? I Miss Him

I hope he doesn't give up the fight.

[vickitulsa]

10. Oooooohhh, I LIKE that! :big BIG grin:

I'm new enough here at DU that I hadn't even learned yet that Snow actually POSTED over at Freeperland! What a gold mine this could be for critics, eh? SURELY his posts were archived somewhere they could still be found?

Even if not, just the fact that he was there, in addition to his coming from Faux straight to the WH, ought to speak worlds to anyone with half a brain....

[Fridays Child]

17. I love that meme! It needs to be pushed.

Keith Olbermann needs to use it! "Snow job!"

[stepnw1f]

34. Highlighting Fox's Collaboration

with the White House as another bullshit propaganda outlet.

[ClintonTyree]

150. Not to mention his participation on a hate site.......

FR is, if anything, a hate site. Bile and bigotry abound at FR and his connection to it can only be another black eye on an already suspect career. Someone has to save his posts and throw them back at him sometime, preferably during a White House Press Corps gaggle. Tony Snow, known bigot and all around asshole now doing the Bush Administration's lying for them. Perfect! ;)

[mwb970]

79. John Snow, Tony Snow, who's next? Vanilla Ice?

Sounds like a chill wind is a blowin' at the WH.

[dchill]

84. 'another snow job'

!

(not that there is anyone who could undermine the honesty of fox any more than fox itself has done.)
;)

[fooj]

163. Personally, I believe that this was an idiotic choice...

Why then, am I not surprised?;)

[ClintonTyree]

169. The freeps think it's just great....

To: VaBthang4
He's a great guy!
Maybe he'll get rid of the press corp and install a direct link to FR as a replacement.


Yeah, just what the American people need. :eyes: All of their information coming from a hate site with a bunch of crazed 32 percenters offering up their "wisdom" on national and world matters. :silly: The Reich-Wing lunatic fringe is all atwitter since one of their own brownshirts will be Bush's ministry of propaganda mouthpiece. :puke:

Maybe they don't understand that this is like flying a new band-leader out to the Titanic as it's sinking. It isn't going to make any difference. When the Press finds out about Tony's participation on a hate site it could get much, much worse. Silly freeps! :rofl:

20. What's his screen name?

Didn't he once post a racist piece on another site?

[Fridays Child]

88. He was signed up as Tony Snow and he chimed in regularly on the daily...

...Tony Snow Show threads for listeners of his radio program. He also responded to threads that were about him, in some other way, too. Rarely did he post to threads where the subject wasn't "Tony Snow." :eyes:

By the way, I gleened the above information from a Google search of "pdt by tony snow" a phrase that would necessarily appear at the bottom of all of his FR posts. For each Google hit, though, I had to look at the cached version of the page because the originals are 100% outta there.

[BuyingThyme]

13. Is that right? Isn't that a story in itself? What a bunch of fucking

Nazis.

[EFerrari]

16. Freepzis.

[Politicub]

109. This is a story

And though I loathe giving freepers additional publicity, someone needs to answer the question about what Tony has to hide. Is he ashamed of owning up to his own words? Fucking pathetic and a typical republican move if you ask me.

[MADem]

179. Someone needs to point out that FR is not an independent website

It's part and parcel of the RNC, seeing as it takes orders from them, and should be audited along with all other RNC assets. It needs to be factored into their campaign finance declarations which should be available for public perusal.

[Freddie Stubbs]

21. Did he actually post under his name?

:shrug:

[grasswire]

23. yep (eom)

[Karenca]

25. Yes...he posted alot under his name & he started posts titled "LIVE THREAD

WITH TONY SNOW"

Hundreds of freepers cheering him on.

I really hope some of it will be recovered.

[Pacifist Patriot]

26. I guess that proves he has the intelligence to fit in with Bush & Co.

Interesting that he made this statement.

unemployment

[ClintonTyree]

171. They CAN'T file for unemployment....

since they're here illegally. And about reporting a crime? Yeah, just what an illegal alien wants is the police interviewing him/her. This is the type of mentality that got us into the freaking mess we're in at the moment. :eyes:

Go to google's advance search and plug in the posting name, asking for links from that domain only.

The posts will come up even though they've been deleted because google caches stuff for a long time. Click on "cache" instead of the direct link and you'll see the post as it was a few days ago.

Jim Robinson has no control over the caches at Yahoo and Google but he has scrubbed Tony Snow from his web site. At Free Republic, all of Snow's posts are gone, as is his user name, which now comes up as "banned or suspended." And the posts in response to Snow are gone, as well.

==========

And on another website I found this recounted blurb between Snow and the Freeps:

Fox's sensitivity to Republican complaints came into the open during the 2000 presidential campaign when Tony Snow was the target of a barrage of criticism from posters to the far-right website FreeRepublic.com, who accused him of being too negative about the Bush campaign in his columns and on Fox News Channel.

Snow responded to the Freepers, as the site's conservative contributors call themselves, with a long and detailed apologia, highlighting every pro-Bush aspect of his work in excruciating detail. Discussing his syndicated conservative column, he wrote:

I have found over the years that the best way to be friendly to any politician is to be honest. Having said that, I've hardly been hostile to Bush in recent columns. Yes, I have criticized him this year, but no serious reader could possibly believe Gore has gotten the best of the exchange.

Just check out the two most recent columns. A piece on "specifics" notes that Gore offers virtually no specifics to voters and the few he mentions are nuts. There's plenty of grist there for Bush fans and the Bush campaign. The most recent defends Bush in the Adam Clymer affair.

In response to a writer who was irate at a video clip showing a Bush gaffe, Snow replied: "Yes, we carried a Bush gaffe at the end. It was funny, not damaging to the candidate."

And perhaps most tellingly, he described the strategy he had recently used on Fox News Sunday (9/10/00) to interview a pair of guests about the presidential campaign-- the first an aide to Bill Clinton, the second the Republican governor of Pennsylvania:

1) We opened with a tough interview of John Podesta, taking Clinton to task for a series of things (including hate crimes legislation) and asking some tough questions about Gore's energy and health-care policies.

2) Tom Ridge came next. We tried to get him to fire away at Clinton/Gore corruption. He wouldn't do it. We tried to get him to urge a more openly conservative campaign by Bush. He wouldn't do it. If you have complaints about such matters, I suggest you write the Bush campaign, not Fox News Channel.

In other words, Snow admits he was trying to put the Democratic guest on the defensive about Clinton--while goading the Republican into playing offense against Clinton. (The episode is a perfect example of Fox's notion of balance: attacking Democrats and liberals on substance while challenging Repub-licans and conservatives only on tactics.) In closing the memo, Snow wrote, "Parting thoughts: I made fun of the United Nations." He concluded: "I have a hard time finding anything in that lineup that Freepers would consider treasonous."

That's all I've found so far. The cleaners have been hard at work.

[Fridays Child]

61. Good catches. They'll be gone soon enough, I suppose.

[helderheid]

66. Screen capture it!

[magellan]

73. Done, here they are

[helderheid]

75. YOU ROCK!

:yourock:

[magellan]

80. Thanks! And a question

Did Snow belong to/write to any other forums? I've been a fair ways through Google and can't find that he did -- but that doesn't mean much. I'm curious because...well, I've been quiet on the Snow thing, but now that it's happened the fact that he's a longtime freeper (or would that be "32 percenter"? lol) speaks volumes.

As if we needed more evidence of how narrow-minded and out of touch this misadministration is. They're on the fast-track to zero credibility with mainstream America, hiring freepers to speak for them.

[helderheid]

83. wish I had an answer for you - certainly does speak volumes!

[SoCalDem]

111. Yes, HH, freepers are talking about it in this thread

from this morning:

No, nothing to hide, but better not to give the other side fodder. Anything anyone on FR says or said could become twisted in the media...

Not that the media would do that.... but past history says they would.

It would not be a good idea for Bush's press secretary to have a freeper account, anymore than a Clinton press secretary should have a DU account.

There's too much risk of guilt by association with people who are not screened before joining the club.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

91. DUers should take note, that for all the ridicule that fr gets here, they

actually play a significant role in shrubco that shouldn't be ignored.

Gannon/Guckert is/was a freeper.
So was Corsi, the ghostwriter for the Swiftboaters.
So was "Buckhead", who "broke" the typefont/Memogate thing.
Now Tony Snow, although his role as a FAUX talking head is likely more significant.

Etc.

So while the typical spell check disabled freep is no doubt a pawn, window dressing to their little scheme, the site is probably funded by or paid off through some Repub slush money through Scaife, pilfered Iraq Coalition Provisional Authority or Abramoff type money, useful for "anonymous" rumors to be floated and "clever observations" like that of Buckhead to appear or be planted.

[helderheid]

95. good point

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

96. Not only that, it probably serves their purposes better for the site to

retain its poor design and look, to preserve the "cover" that it's a homegrown Mom 'n' Pop operation.

[helderheid]

97. but not a whole lot showed up to their "rally" in DC

[jayfish]

102. How Do You Suppose That These "Celebrity" Posters.

aren't smeared with the taint of racism, bigotry etc, of FR in their public lives for posting there. Can you imagine the outcry if any well known Dem posted here? I can here the name calling now.

112. Don't forget Mark Levin

whose nick over there, I believe, is the greatest one or something moronic like that.

[DoYouEverWonder]

124. Google "Free Republic Network"

They are the core group behind Free Republic.

[Generic Other]

131. No "they" are people who USE Freepers

as minions and henchmen.

"They" are psychopaths pulling the wings off butterflies. Dimwitted middle class Freepers will wake up to the fact that they have been left to crawl on their bellies like the worms they are. And not at our hands, but at the hands of their buddies in the WH. This is a foregone conclusion.

We know it is a fact.

[Catrina]

152. And Mark Levin is a freeper, also from back in the 'nineties ~

He doesn't post under his own name.

[SpiralHawk]

183. Excellent point, Signor Machiavelli

I do hope this horseshit scrubbing will come back to bite them in their corrupt and corpulent butts.

[magellan]

98. Why scrub the posts? Seriously

Why do all these RW "luminaries" get their posts scrubbed from FR once the public spotlight is turned on them? Isn't their participation in that bastion of RW excellence good for their resumés? Aren't they proud of what they say on FR? Don't they want others to see what kind of thought process makes one a perfect fit for the Bush** administration?

I bet Carl Sheeler won't get Skinner to scrub his posts from DU if he becomes a Senator!!

[progressivebydesign]

162. The average Freep should be hurt and insulted!

I'd be pissed and insulted if someone of note posted here regularly on DU, then.. when they were in the limelight, disapeared themselves from ever being here with us. Think the Freeps can stop scratching their ass for a minute and scratch their head instead wondering WHY the Snows of America are ASHAMED to be associated with them???

[CarlSheeler4U]

194. You mean WHEN I become Senator! Nothing to say that I'd want scrubbed.

used some dispariging remarks about Martin Luther King that was gleaned from a Anti-MLK site operated by the notorious neo-nazi Stormfront? Do the GOP needs that kind of baggage.

172. Now, if you could find THAT........

that would be some interesting information to confront Mr. Snow with. ;)

[ClintonTyree]

173. YES, here we go..."Fox News Host Tied to White Supremacist Group" .

http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Fox_News_host_tried_to_white_1223.html


As yesterday's revelation that a Fox network television affiliate promoted a white supremacist organization leads to greater scrutiny of the group, it has emerged that a Fox News host is also tied to the same organization. While perusing another site hosted by Stormfront.org, blogger IntoxiNation discovered material written by Fox News radio and television host Tony Snow.

Snow, then a columnist for Detroit News, wrote a piece slamming Kwanzaa, which is currently hosted by a website dedicated to discrediting Martin Luther King, Jr.

The site, MartinLutherKing.org, at times attempts to mimic one devoted to promoting King's work. However, when one clicks on the link titled, "Death of the Dream: The day King was shot" they will come across this:

[Ksec]

103. Its no big secret that these aholes and fox are two of a kind.

Look what network gets all the big interveiws with the bush administration..

And its the same one who always pushes propaganda. Swiftboats, Iraq talking points, pro bush spin...

Snow and Fox and Bush. Three flowers from the same weed.

that it's a relatively big news story that Bush's new Press Secretary is a longtime member of a far rightwing hate site.

Hopefully, MSM journalists are being clued in.

Since he was a regular at FR, he must surely know about us.

We should pay extra attention to him and post very embarrassing threads that he can see, as if he was watching us all the time.

The TRUTH about Kwanzaa

Dec. 31, 1999/22 Teves, 5760
by Tony Snow

BLACKS IN AMERICA have suffered an endless series of insults and degradations, the latest of which goes by the name of Kwanzaa.

Ron Karenga (aka Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga) invented the seven-day feast (Dec. 26-Jan. 1) in 1966, branding it a black alternative to Christmas. The idea was to celebrate the end of what he considered the Christmas-season exploitation of African Americans.

According to the official Kwanzaa Web site -- as opposed, say, to the Hallmark Cards Kwanzaa site -- the celebration was designed to foster "conditions that would enhance the revolutionary social change for the masses of Black Americans" and provide a "reassessment, reclaiming, recommitment, remembrance, retrieval, resumption, resurrection and rejuvenation of those principles (Way of Life) utilized by Black Americans' ancestors."

Karenga postulated seven principles: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith, each of which gets its day during Kwanzaa week. He and his votaries also crafted a flag of black nationalism and a pledge: "We pledge allegiance to the red, black, and green, our flag, the symbol of our eternal struggle, and to the land we must obtain; one nation of black people, with one G-d of us all, totally united in the struggle, for black love, black freedom, and black self-determination."

What are they hiding anyway??

Hmmmm...

148. Can't have your new Press Secretary posting on Free Republic.

What would the neighbors say? :eyes: To the lurking Freeptards - way to go on getting one of your own promoted to big-time crime! Honestly, how do you RW assholes sleep at night?

[ruggerson]

149. The story, from the MSM angle

is why were his posts all deleted?

What does he have to hide?

Why is someone who is purportedly going to have a job which entails TELLING THE TRUTH to the American people furtively hiding things about himself the moment his appointment is imminent?

[zulchzulu]

155. Snowjob will melt under the weight of his own lies

All through the years, Snowjob could lie and read the talking points from the RNC and talk to well-screened callers willing to suck his weeny for Jesus. Now he's going into the hell he helped create...to defend the lies he helped create...and to eventually fall from the weight of the truth.

Heh, maybe he'll get a book deal later about how he saw how inept the Chimmpsters all were.
