Yep, I still stand by it. Yep, I could be bitten in the backside by it, but I’m not changing.
TNR claims that the Army is the main bad guy in all of this (along, of course, with the Weekly Standard and Drudge), and also claims that Beauchamp contacted them without military supervision to say that actually stands by his fiction as fact after all, but is simply being forced not to say that [...]

At RedState, we were 100% honest and straightforward about our new policy regarding Ron Paul spammers. It’s our site, it’s private property, and it’s a user-driven community, which means that its functionality is largely dependent on our users playing well with others (which is a large part of why we have the Posting Rules linked [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Why I think STB is sincere
I’ve had a lot of folks question why I think that Beauchamp is sincere in wanting to move past this, and asking why in the world I’d think that he’s being anything other than an opportunist in this case, as well, with simply a setback in his original plan to use his military experience to [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Foer, TNR accuse the *military* of "selective leaks" of information they tried their best to suppress
Said TNR’s Franklin Foer, “It’s maddening to see the Army selectively leak to the Drudge Report things that we’ve been trying to obtain from them through Freedom of Information Act requests,” Mr. Foer said. “This fits a pattern in this case where the army has leaked a lot of stuff to right wing blogs.”

Drudge may have pulled the Beauchamp story, but the phone transcript is real
Here’s simply how I know that: In the list atop the first page, call participants are listed. Foer, Scoblic, Beauchamp, etc. are up there — the obvious participants — and then there’s a Specialist (E-4, or low-ranking enlisted man) from FOB Falcon’s 4th IBCT Public Affairs Office, a little no-name by the name of Ben [...]

Many of you know that I’m a Director of RedState.com, one of the top righty blogs on the web. Earlier today, our site decided that enough was enough with the crazy, and that loony Ron Paul’s loony following would no longer be welcome on our private property.
The reaction of Paul’s supporters? Well, let’s just say [...]
Immediate Post-Debate Reax: The Huckabee and McCain Show
10/21/07
Tonight’s GOP debate was truly the Huckabee and McCain show. Huck demonstrated the same smooth, articulate, can-sell-snake-oil-to-a-merchant demeanor that has propelled him to where he is now: one of the Big Five that actually deserves to still be attending these debates (if not doing what he really should be doing with his time, which is [...]
McCain in rare form [Updated with video]
10/21/07
John McCain is in rare form in tonight’s debate and, in my opinion, has already offered the line/response/smackdown of the evening.
In response to the question of how he would beat Hillary (and why that would be important), McCain pointed out the junior Senator from New York’s attempt earlier this week at a seven-figure earmark for [...]
Seriously?!
Straight from the “proof that the press will find something negative to say about ANY development in Iraq” department is this, courtesy of the ever-professional McClatchy bureau in Baghdad (yes, they’re “in Baghdad”; no, all journalism which technically takes place in a combat zone is not created equal):
As violence falls in Iraq, cemetery workers [...]
