Murtha's Poll-the con echo chamber at work

[booley]

Just chalk it up to another example of cons making up thier own 'news"

"The congressman at the center of the battle last week over withdrawal of troops from Iraq removed the results from his own Internet poll on the subject after online voters overwhelmingly opposed his stance.

Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., posted the poll after he ignited a firestorm in the House that led to Republicans forcing a quick vote on the issue Friday.

While a revised poll page remains on the site, the link to it from his homepage has been removed, making the survey effectively invisible to the public.

A contributor to Web forum Free Republic.com, however, posted results as of 3:34 p.m. Eastern time. "

And gee, who wants ot hazard a guess that the poll was being freeped before they changed it?

saw this on another board and the freeper in question has a bad habit of not adding links to what he uses as sources. (sometimes he doesn't even mention that he's quoting somebody else)

So here' s the thread I gto it from for completeness sake...

Since when did free reich become a reliable source for anything?
