Blunt spokeswoman attacks bloggers.
“Dale Franks [libertarian blogger] should get the soothing balm ready and beware: Fire ants attach themselves to a person by biting with their jaws, then pivoting their heads and stinging from their abdomens in a circular pattern at multiple sites. They tend to attack and sting in great numbers — just like bloggers.” — Blunt spokeswoman Jessica Boulanger, 1/24/06

Blogging must me effective then.
January 24th, 2006 at 10:41 amStupid lady, she is just calling more attention to the blogs, where a person can find real information.
January 24th, 2006 at 10:43 amThe GOP mob is scared to death of the level-field
January 24th, 2006 at 10:57 amnature of the internet. Watch for future attempts
to eliminate this “freedom” to protect us from
“terra-wrists”.
just like partisan lobbyists with fists full of cash, more like.
January 24th, 2006 at 11:06 amScrew her and the shrub she was drug in on. We need the communication and will make every effort to keep our rights to free speech along with the rest of our rights given to us under the constitution….Blessings
January 24th, 2006 at 11:12 amGeorge Town University Law School going over the wire tapping on C-Span right now. Give a listen….
January 24th, 2006 at 11:15 amThey are finally relizing that a blogger’s sting and bite are worse than his typing. And that is BAD!
January 24th, 2006 at 11:15 am#3 The real problem for the GOP is not only that it is a “level-field”…it’s that the left/progressives/liberals OWN the internet. I mean really…you’ve got one lefty blog that gets more traffic than the leading winger blogs combined.
January 24th, 2006 at 11:16 am8
I view the internet as a forum for a voice that has always been there. When they hate blogs, they hate Americans.
January 24th, 2006 at 11:18 amBut was her husband crying behind her?
January 24th, 2006 at 11:20 amDale Franks [libertarian blogger]
That’s the Q and O blog. Franks, Henke and some clown nmaed McQ after his favorite John Wayne movie perhaps. Libertarians? What the hell is a libertarian anyway? There are all kinds of libertarians. They are anarcho-capitalists and I hope they get eaten alive by their own. I’m a libertarian and I have nothing in common with them.

What kind of a threat is that? These people are creepy.
January 24th, 2006 at 11:40 amThey are objectivists, too. They worship the Ayatollah Rand.
The Q and O blog: That’s Queer and Odd. Clowny-assed morons.
January 24th, 2006 at 11:41 ambloggers are free media, as you know, or perhaps NOT Bushcos war is on Liberals (Anti-capitalists aka Journalists)
Look at the books produced by neo-kook lawyers and Rush Limbaugh Blame game books, (pundits) and Lawyer blame game book writers (Coulter Libby) and the MASS of propaganda coming from partisan blam game think tanks
January 24th, 2006 at 11:41 amGive it a rest. Q and O blog is no friend of yours. They reap what they sow. Their bullshit put this mob in office. Let them rip each other to shreds. Less work for us.
January 24th, 2006 at 11:43 amSo much for the unified front of the right.
GOP newspaper says impeachment is a real possibility
Now if only there was an organized opposition to fascism and the right wing extremists instead of an opposition party full of apologists and wimps.

Gordon has it right. These people are self serving. They are against a Free press because it exposes them. The Bush people are against intellectuals, Journalists, Poor Blacks, or anyone whim is not crazy enough to follow the Fascists.
Well to the Buscho fascists, left right and center. The Demise of your crooked EMPIRE, shall not be because of the America people,it will be due to the Greed and Power hungry that split the people, lie to them, mislead them, that will soon be suffering because of that very same Idiocentrist Bias.
For I as a poor man need not Corporations, nor Macdonalds, nor any other of these Corporate extremists with their Ideologue organ grinders in tow.
Aye, Beware the bloggers. And Beware the Silent Majority
January 24th, 2006 at 11:50 amBehold the power of the Blogs
We are the peaceful revolution…

there is some truth to this simile… consternatives give us bloggers a lot of material to bite into…
January 24th, 2006 at 12:12 pmI was wrong yesterday about 40 Democrats running for office in 2006

I think this comes from a right wing “blog conference” between Boehner, Blunt and Shadegg. Apparently Shadegg and Boehner took unscripted questions, but Blunt “spun” the whole thing by inviting bloggers outside of the original invitation and only allowing questions in advance. The other bloggers were furious over this. I don’t under stand why. The Bush Administration does it all the time. Here’s the link for the post.

Libertarian, just another name for Neo-Con.

January 24th, 2006 at 12:49 pmShe knows a lot about fire ants. Did she work intel duty at Abu Ghraib?
January 24th, 2006 at 12:51 pmFlash, you are off topic. Its not that helpful.
January 24th, 2006 at 12:58 pmI’ve been attacked by fire ants, and it ain’t pretty, but if that’s the image it takes to get to these people, it’s fine by me.
January 24th, 2006 at 1:08 pmthough i’d much rather continue to ignore you, flashback – very annoying, off topic “messages” – i will reply with this:
January 24th, 2006 at 1:31 pmyes, i too am having the same difficulties, wordpress…have contacted TP…
anyone else?
I’m also having problems posting, katy.
January 24th, 2006 at 1:37 pmI’ve had problems too. Probably just Bushites trying to clean things up a bit! The truth is just too hard for them to handle.

I do go to Burger King once and awhile. I can’t help it.
Screw McDonalds. I never eat that crap.
January 24th, 2006 at 3:50 pmYes Katy,
It is due to the spam filters, or so Judd posted yesterday. He says they are working on it. Try using Mozilla Firefox. It’s a free download and you can have as many different browsers on your PC as you like. I use both MSIExplorer and Firefox.
