Once and for all regarding the Drudge report,
Edited on Wed Jul-28-04 04:12 PM by bobbyboucher
shove that shit up your arse. Quit dragging his lying ass over here so the curious will give hits to his low-life site.

That sick little fuck has sold his soul for the almighty dollar even though the people he aids with his smut would just as soon kill his ass as look at him, that is, as soon as he is no longer useful to their sick agenda of hate.

What a pathetic clown. Let the Freepers woller in his slime.

(Don't forget to buy a shirt at 8643.biz, but for the easily confused and markedly unwise, selling anti-bush shirts doesn't equate with whoring for the enemy, you follow?)

21. Plus today's Kerry re-enacted does not even refer to convention bio flick!

But the media is not correcting other GOP lies - why should they start now on this latest one!

Kerry Campaign Response to Misleading Bush Videos ignored by media

Kerry Campaign Response to Misleading Bush Video

Reporters will be receiving the latest attempt by the Bush-Cheney campaign to distract voters from its four years of failed policies and lack of a positive plan for the future. In an attempt to separate the truth from the fiction in their latest deliberately misleading attack, the Kerry campaign is providing this handy fact sheet to walk you through the distortions contained in their video.


“This video is nothing but a stale old attack from the Bush-Cheney campaign, who can’t for the life of them find anything positive to say. It comes from the same President that told us Saddam Hussein was tied to al Qaeda, that we’d be welcomed as liberators in Iraq, and that we wouldn’t be bearing the costs and casualties alone. Need any more reminders of why this administration’s lost its credibility?” - Kerry campaign spokesman Chad Clanton.

2. "kick his gay ass?" Not appreciated, we have enough hate and nasty
aspersions to add more hatred. How about just kick his ASS?

5. Thank you for pointing that out, Catfight.
Although I expect to see some rationalization follow your post. Let's hope I'm proven wrong.

6. It is because he is gay that
they would kick is ass. Sorry if the word-choice offended. If I get another complaint, I will edit it.

Drudge is a piece of shit, but don't bash him about being gay.

I think it should be edited too.

18. Sorry about the wording, I changed it, maybe
you should change your post too, I mean, I have no ill will towards gay people and admitted my hasty mistake, so unless you are trying to preach, you might want to consider an edit as well.

3. "has sold his soul for the almighty dollar" -- odd
Not that I'd compare you to a money grubbing loser, but this comment followed shortly by "(Don't forget to buy a shirt at 8643.biz)" -- amusing juxtaposition.

11. :shrug:
FTR, I do recognize the difference between those who are comfortable saying ANYTHING if it'll bring them money, and those trying to make a living. I guess Bobby's the latter.

10. Odd comparison, being you know not what you speak,
so if you would be so kind, please connect a gay man doing everything he can to help the political party that would mostly like him dead, for money I would suspect, to my promoting a website owned by a friend, that completely supports my point of view and, unless I am at the wrong site, the positive point of view supported by the majority here..

Thanks in advance.

4. I have to admit it. I went onto his site today.
I didn't bother with the Kerry re-enactment story, but I fed him two tips--one on Bush's psychoactive drug prescriptions from Capitol Hill Blues, and the other the latest on the AWOL story from Raw Story.

Please forgive me. I usually don't go onto his site, but today I just thought he needed some new material and I felt the urge to help.

15. Sludge report
I never have visited that site and never will.

Why give any creedence to that crap here?

20. Because lots of people actually read that crap
I go there to see what the Repig talking points of the day are, bucause Drudge prints them almost verbatim.

If anything, the increased traffic costs HIM money. I just don't click on any ads or 'MyWay.com' news links. That's all adware.

But it does us no good to bury our heads in the sand and ignore what idiots like Drudge and FOX are saying. I like to read a variety of sources, but I have my own political philosophy, and they will not change it anytime soon.

22. You give him money when you view his site
Both page (ad) views and clicks determine how much money he receives. Whether the gratification you get from your visits there is worth it is for you to decide, but the original post was about dragging that crap back to DU and sliming these forums with his bile.

23. Got a link for this info?
Besides, I have a customized HOSTS file, and most ads (partcularly on his site) don't load.

Therefore, ad servers have no way of knowing whether I've visited or not.

24. "It's common knowledge" isn't good enough, so here's an eplanation
http://www.netiq.com/support/log/understandlog.asp

Basically, it's like magazine ads. High circulation media charge more, and page views are the equivalent on the net. The more page views Drudge gets, the more he can charge for his ad space. That's why he is more than happy to print up wild lies and participate in disinformation campaigns being run by the Cons. Click-throughs are analogous to reader reply cards or phone calls referring to a specific ad campaign, and so usually yield a small kickback to the Hosting site in addition to the basic ad rate.

Whether you have an ad blocker or graphics turned off doesn't get factored into the page view calculation, since the number is so small as to be irrelevant.
