So “no” to “are we winning in Iraq” does NOT mean “we are losing in Iraq” but “I’m as gay as a treeful of parrots?” Just checking. :rolleyes:
ugh
so he’s double secret liberal posing as a shill for the right wing who doesn’t want him anyway
I think I have a headache
Funny, I thought daffyd answered that in post #13. As did, hm, Carnac the Magnificent! in post #4.
In what way is he working against the gay community? In my limited experience with him I have heard him on both the left and right side of social issues, leaning more towards libertarian than anything else (except on abortion which he is against). If you have other information, share it.
Wasn’t it Drudge who broke the “Kerry is having an affair with an intern” rumor?
Yeah, and Verne Troyer just slam dunked. :eek:
-Joe
Drudge breaks lots of rumors. That’s why you shouldn’t actually believe anything you read on his site until you see it corroborated on an actual news site.
-Joe
I don’t believe anything that Drudge says. It’s just that all the right-wing ranters on talk radio referred back to Drudge when hyping the story.
So, just how biased and extreme is Drudge. Well, let’s look at his site and see. Here are the articles available on Drudge as of 11:00 PST.

I won’t list all the writers linked to on his frontpage, but here are some of the right wingers:
Elanor Clift, Joe Conason, David Corn, Rosie O’Donnell, Molly Ivins, Andrew Sullivan, Thomas Oliphant, Helen Thomas, Paul Krugman, Mickey Kaus, Michael Kinsley, Joe Klein, Richard Cohen, Jonathan Alter, David Brooks, and Susan Estrich.
According to Wiki, Drudge admits to being a conservative on most issues. Also from Wiki:
So, yes, he is hated. But it seems only like people on the far left. And even some of them see the value of his website and contribute to it. Wiki has some negative quotes from Keith Olberman and others for those who are interested.
“According to wiki,” is like saying “According to book.” The name of the website you probably got those links is called Wikipedia. It is one of millions of Wikis.
er… I meant to say, the website where you got those QUOTES is called wikipedia.
The problem is that “news” sites will quote him without any checking. That’s not corroborating, that’s just an echo chamber.
Wasn’t it Drudge who broke the “Kerry is having an affair with an intern” rumor?
Ignore that last message. My browser went crazy just now.
All I know is if I google Matt Drudge is a Tool I get 411,000 hits.
Here’s the Salon article about the Kerry rumor. “Drudge freely admitted that Republican operatives had given him the story and that he had been used. It is his usual method.”
http://dir.salon.com/story/opinion/blumenthal/2004/02/19/kerry/index.html
Roy Cohn he ain’t. There will probably never be another Cohn, if there’s a God, anyway.
The quote by Squink from the link in post #20 was truncated. What Gates continued on to say was:
Learn how to use Google. “Matt Drudge is a Tool” gets exactly *six *hits.
Because He Has A Fondness For Typing Entirely In Capital Letters.
Damn. Anti.shouting feature. Let me try that again.
BECAUSE HE HAS A FONDNESS FOR TYPING ENTIRELY IN CAPITAL LETTERS.
