_BiB_ Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 If this tape is legit, it really is scary -- what strikes me is that the "American" has a Jewish name, Pearlman. I wonder what made him convert to Islam? What made him hate the U.S. so much? Then again, maybe I don't want to know . . . 88353[/snapback] I found the name quite an odd coincidence.

Drudge is great; he kinda reminds me of that saying about the monkeys and the typewriter. But don't get me wrong, all the news he breaks is confirmed gospel.

The Guardian is a little too right-wing for me. I don't believe a thing until I hear it from the mouth of Castro himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman's Helmet Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Uh, they tried. Remember 1993? 88124[/snapback] Didnt the planning of 9/11 begin BEFORE Bush was elected? If Terrorists want Bush out of office, he MUST be doing something right. They're BEGGING for Kerry so they can treat him like the substitute teacher for 4 years.

I guess it's the nature of a message board. Just in the context of Drudge I found it humorous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So apparently the radicals from the part of the world that hates democracy also hated the idea of a stained democracy over here and decided to attack America. But then again, he's an idiot.

Oh, yeah, FACTS SUCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in the context of Drudge I found it humorous. 88541[/snapback] I think we should criticize everything Drudge reports. He has proven unreliable. A while back he seemed to imply that the illustrious Dan Rather had used forged documents in a 60 minutes II story. The nerve. First to break such an unfounded "scoop", but on top of it to question such a stalwart member of the press, a person with such high standards. How could he do this? Now he comes out and quotes the CIA and ABCNews as stating ABCNews has a tape. If he thinks ABCNews has a tape, shouldn't he go to a more reliable source than ABCNews to find out? He could have gone to Rather, but he's burned that bridge. Maybe he should call Katie Couric to find out if ABCNews has a tape. She might know.

Especially when it's one of the board's biggest hypocrites. There is a certain irony to the phrase being offered in a Drudge thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drudge just has a proven history of taking a scoop and running with it and having it disproven. Is he right some of the time? Sure. So are monkeys and typewriters.
