The Fox news article is LE playing defense which is good. It was short so it means they don't have much to defend themselves with.

I never check Drudge. But it's been submitted. Now that wikileaks has it we're in a much better position.

That AP article is great. The more I read it the more I like it. It was an excellent way for the story to break.

thats why Fox used some retarded argument like Stifling political thought to make the other side look weak
they couldve been honest and just linked the AP article. but no they wont

I dont check Drudge too. I dont trust him and I believe hes part of a disinfo operation. just knowing hes based in Israel kind of scares me. I doubt he will spread this. but lets wait and see. usually what those people do is wait and see if others broke the news. then theyre forced to do it

liberals on Drudge Retort post a link to the Missouri shenanigans
[This is not Matt Drudge's website. This is a liberal website called the Drudge Retort. some people may have emailed him thinking this is drudge]
well they posted it on their frontpage. some comments left by the l are scary

These don't really look mainstream.

We're kind of better off it doesn't hit the mainstream news... why?

The vast majority of people will only hear this:
Ron Paul = Libertarian = Conspiracy Theorists = Militia = Domestic Terrorists

Just for kicks I printed out the whole document in question and handed it to a few folks and asked if they thought Paul supporters should be concerned. None saw anything wrong with the police profiling for militia even if it included innocent people. They've had 8+ years of conditioning... they see nothing wrong with a police state. I'm really kind of torn up by this because I showed it to family and they had the same reaction "nothing for you to worry about".

maybe not all of them, but its a start... don't be so negative... get on the phone and demand the major news cover this too.
