1. No narcissism here...
I read your subject line, Don_G, as, "Will Pitt & DU Bears" watching, per the wing nuts. I clicked on your source, to see what Will and we Bears were watching.

Only a Bear would read it that way!

3. Opiate for the masses
Nothing like a good ol' fashioned culture war to turn the people against one another while the real criminals make off with our future.

4. 2 Problems with that
Edited on Sun Nov-09-03 02:38 PM by supernova
I don't see what Libertyposts.org's beef is with the article for 2 reasons:

1 - So they reposted in it's entirety an article by David Person of the Hunstville, AL Times. He's the one quoting Will's post. So, they are bypassing David Person's work, plagarizing it, in favor of the writing from Will. They didn't even bother to acknowledge this is David's meta-article about Will's original one.

2 - So? What's their problem with it? No context whatsoever. Maybe Libertypost.org thinks it should be self-evident that that they're miffed a military mom wrote a plea to Will, and not a glowingly orgasmic "I'm glad my son died in battle!" banner to Cheny. But still you really can't know that from what's posted there.

I tried getting to reader comments:

3 - When I clicked on the "latest comments" link, I was taken to the general forum page. I didn't see a thread for that article. Maybe I just missed it.

All in all, a shoddy reference and not a shred of analysis to go with it. "Disinformation"? Hell, that person can't even do a citation properly. I don't thing he/she is clever enough for disinformation.

6. Notice the Poster? TLBShow
Will's arch-nemesis from the FR. The guy is mad with jealousy of Will's success....he's fixiated on Will.

What I can't figure is why this typing warrior isn't volunteering to support his pResident in Iraq....
