Let the REAL Plame Swiftboating begin.
It already has, if links provided in another thread are any indication:

Malkin

National Review Online has two links already

you can imagine what the Terminally Mendacious Right Wing Blogosphere, aided and abetted by Rove and his little minions, is churning out, even as I type these words.

You thought it's been bad for the last three years?

You haven't seen anything yet.

Watch the M$M to keep doing what it's been doing, ala CNN (see all the threads here that have sprouted)

maybe this would be a good place to start linking what the Lying Liars have to say.

I'll start with the thread started on the comparison between US and International news organizations' treatment of the suit:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1632572

typical of the liars is a Hawaiian blog that repeats the lying meme about the Senate Intel Committee contradicting Wilson, when anyone familiar with the whole story knows that the report contained an unagreed-upon addendum in the summary which disagreed with the body of the report (which, itself, supported Wilson's story).

this is what they do: lie and repeat. lie and repeat. lie and repeat.

1. media matters is already on the case, however

Fox's Smith announced Plame lawsuit by uncritically airing Novak's dubious denial of a "concerted" Bush administration effort against Wilson


Summary: In announcing that Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame had filed a lawsuit against Dick Cheney, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, and Karl Rove, Fox News host Shepard Smith uncritically stated that Robert Novak "was on this network yesterday saying there was no concerted campaign to out Plame as a way of punishing her husband." But Smith omitted special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald's findings that a "concerted action" by "multiple people in the White House" had been intended to "discredit, punish or seek revenge against" Wilson.

3. Bob Novak!
He was so funny today on Fox, trying to remember his lines.

2. you were on the swiftboating, Gabi
You were hollering bloody murder about it as it was happening to Kerry. You were right. Too bad those people who get paid for political strategy weren't as smart as you.
