re: #644 Charles

We don’t know. We do know that two of the people who signed it said it was very different from what appeared at the Truther website.

CNN has now moved this story to their prime position; it’s their lead at the moment. The caption accompanying the headline is playing up the 9/11 petition signature as the only reason for his resignation.

I take this as a sign of things to come. By Monday AM, CNN will also have “discovered” that this particular tale is full of falsehoods and distortions, laying the groundwork for future scoffing at anything the GOP brings forward as criticism. By the time health care is getting another look, anything criticisms emanating from the GOP will be laughed off with scorn as delusional hysteria, “just like the Van Jones witch hunt.”

If anyone thinks CNN is headlining the Troofer angle of this story and giving it pole position, remember all the times you’ve remarked about how the MSM is dedicated to the Democratic Party and to undermining the GOP. Why on earth do you think they’d do this for a little-known underling whose departure would have caused little more than a vague ripple otherwise?
