#1  The source in question should be taken with a whole shaker of salt. If this were even remotely true, the NYT would be running with it on the front page.

#2 Judging from the "news" headlines on his site, I don't think Doug Thompson is a credible source. More propaganda masquerading as news--just like the NYT and BBC.

#3 President goes from quoting the Bible in one breath to obscene tantrums against the media, Democrats and others that he classifies as "enemies of the state."

I don't know, seems rather sensible to me...

#4 This is not even worthy of a Rantburg post. Read some of the other crap off this site and you too will agree.

#6 Saw this somewhere else a couple of days ago. Moonbattery, utter moonbattery.

What's hilarious, if you follow the link, when the site opens up you get a pop-box for "Tickle IQ test." That's a message from God if ever there was!

#8 This guy is a washed-up beat reporter who spent a few decades working as a second stringer for a series of small town and third tier regional newspapers. Now he's marketing himself as the guy who get's the scoops no one else in D.C. can get. Heck, if you can't get the story - make up your own right? That seems to be his style anyway.

#9 So according to the article, the media & Democrats = "enemies of the state", eh?

*smacks the surprise meter, then realizes that it died when Reuters "forgot" to put quotation marks about Bush being a bully*

#12 Doug Thompson is listed as the contact for capitolhillblue.com and apparently heads "Doug Thompson Media".

Translation: Another Bush-hating idiot.

#13 LHR I think he has a point on the 'enemy of the state business.' Too bad Bush would not frame it that way. More like: "Evil doer heplers." Troll meter was pegging before I opened the post.

#14 If the other news items on this website are an indication of anything, you can file this one under "F" for fiction. Imagine: a heretofore unheard of website has scooped every major news organization on not one, but several, blockbuster news stories--all of which the Abu Grabass crowd (with all of their contacts) would give their eye teeth to report on.

#15 # 3 I agree, I do that every day. fabricated slander from the Carville fax machine. Honestly, I don't know which is worse, be it the damage that the filthy Democrat attack machine has tried to inflict on the office of the Presidency(again), or of those who expect perfection in our leaders who would otherwise support President Bush. Make no mistake and Let President Reagans Death be a reminder; the office and the land he fought so valiantly to restore is under attack. The "its all so like Nixon..." tripe should be the tipoff. They done Nixon dirty, for putting Alger Hiss behind bars, and they hurt our nation and ourselves immeasurably, while aiding and abetting our enemies in Soviet Union and the terror they exported to the world (middle east in particular). Not only support, but pray for our commander in chief; it is a tough job. President Bush is the most successful President since President Reagan, and I for one, want four more years

#16 ...Again, let us return to 1984 - remember the 'stories' of how obsessed President Reagan was with God, and how he was 'visibly slipping'?...
Prediction - the Other Side is starting to seriously consider the possibility of horrrifying, nightmarish, stomach-churning DEFEAT in November, and they know what the consequences of that will be. They will pull out all the stops to prevent it.

#17 Man, the Left can't seem to decide which kind of supervillain the President is. One day he's the Hulk, the next day he's Lex Luthor, now he's Bizarro. Jeese, can't they just settle on something?

#25 LHR: I was not trolling. I apologize for leaving off the /irony or /sarcasm or whatever tag. What I meant was that the sentiments expressed in the quoted portion, i.e. that much media and some Dems are "enemies of the state" worthy of obscene tantrums, seems sensible to me. Not that the story itself or the source are in any way legitimate. Apologies all around for the confusion.

#27 Gee do you suppose AL Jazeira (sorry about the hack spelling but who gives a hoot about that rag) is going to run this.
I would think that Reuters would give this a front page lead right next to their attempts at deconstructing Reagan's legacy.
Anyone who thinks Bush lied about Iraq is a complete buffoon or terribly in need of medications. Every intelligence service in Europe plus China thought Iraq had them. Hell even SLick Willy and Tom the Terrible Daschle thought so in 1998 when they blew up a couple of tents to wag the dog and hide Monica's blue dress.
So you Bush Lied nincompoops are right up there with the grass knoll guys who think that Lyndon offed Kennedy.
What a shame that well educated people are so easily deluded with conspiracy theory garbage and liberal/communist drivel against honorable men like Bush and Reagan

#28 Now we know why Dan and Tom and Peter (the three main steford-newsanchors here in the US) are crying 'enough Reagan'.

They can't want to start spewing this sewage.....

#29 Actually, Capitol Hill Blue has been around for about 10 years. Doug Thompson actually wrote a fairly nice story about meeting Ronald Reagan in 76 and working for him as a very minor political staffer until 88. I don't know what prompted this hit piece. Although CHB has been trending very steadily to the left for the past couple of years, this kind of crap is out of character.

#31 Curious, I had a lefty bomb thrower point me to this article this morning. I took a look at the Capitol Blue website, scanned the headlines, reached for my barf bag, and disgarded the article.

#33 I can make up self delusional fiction with sources "willing to talk off the record" too... notice:

the transparent projections of both JFKerry(D)'s repeated use of the "F" word in public now being used as a smear...

the propaganda 'meme' of Bush is "just like Nixon" for fear of people seeing him as "just like Reagan"

the propaganda 'meme' of negative campaigning when it is the JFKerry(D) camp that is guilty

the misrepresentation of Tenet's resignation when in fact he could have, and should have, left some time ago

the obsession with anti-Christian rhetoric that exposes the author as a hater

This sad effort lists the author as Publisher... which is code for "one tin-foil-hat" operation confirmed by the fact he is in fact the site owner:

Thompson, Doug (SCZYQEUFUI) doug@dougthompsonmedia.com
Doug Thompson Media
3800 North Fairfax Drive
#111
Arlington, VA 22203
US

He's the sole owner of dougthompsonmedia.com too...

I mean really...

#34 I am not a Bush admirer but I think this is mis-information. Please look at how Bush behaves in public.Erratic behaviour can partially be controlled with drugs, and I think it would show. Please use common sense

#35 Erratic behavior? Jeez, before you know it, he'll be getting beaners from interns in the Oval office.
Oh, wait. That was somebody else. And, from him, it wasn't considered erratic behavior.

#36 Disturbing thought for the day: is the only reason people don't think of Clinton as being unstable that he didn't ever seem to _care_ about anything?

#38 BB - Actually, when they come totally unglued like this, it's prolly a good thing to be aware of it. And hell, at least half of the 75-IQ crowd swallowed it whole and have convinced themselves it was the Voice of God.

This falls into the Know Your Enemy category!
