Red, there is nothing to be scared of here. If anything it points to the continued slide into irrelavance by the local bird cage liner. They stopped being the paper of record a long time ago and their continued drop in circulation is proof and the greatest thing that could happen.
Today’s news consumers are a bit more savvy and have more diverse sources of information than ever before. The curtain has been pulled back and Oz is finally exposed, this time with it’s pants down.

Gee, what a shock the Register would print something defamatory to a Republican without having actual facts.

It should scare the crap out of all of us that the editor of their ultra-liberal editorial page for the past several years is now in charge of news content.

What happened to the follow-up investigation on who leaked this original nonstory? Inquiring minds want to know.

I’d like to see a follow-up piece by the Register on this. This one-sided reporting is B.S.

Well whattya know, the Locust St. Liar can’t confirm another hit piece on a Republican! Are these folks still so ate up with BDS(Bush Derangement Syndrome) that they can’t focus on doing the fundamentals of journalism and have proof of these allegations?(YES!!!)
Bigger question is who is the source of this story? Who in the campaign thus far has an ax to grind against Chris Rants? That is where I’d focus my attention if it were me.

Good article. Hopefully no candidate’s bloggers will take after Christopher as this article makes it clear that such unfounded attacks could target anyone. For those (many) of us who choose not to read the DMR either out of personal preference or because it is difficult to obtain, who are the people in the picture above?
