Too big to fail

Military thuggery
Remember the 'forsakethetroops.com' site? It was discussed here a couple weeks ago, but I couldn't find the thread. Seems a couple of military thugs took matters into their own hands and killed the webmaster.

such a tragedy
 Sorry, but I have no sympathy for this guy. His website spread lies and hatred towards the military. How many might have died as a result of that? It's sad that he was killed, that's really too bad. That shouldn't happen. But, i put this on the level of Arafat's death.

Interesting that a google search comes up with no news articles confirming this. Hmmm, will Thom have to do a retraction?

That's some pretty weird, extreme schit. The guy had an unnatural hatred for the military like I've rarely seen, and not much common sense to boot. If you broadcast a website espousing the the death of any group of several million people in this country, I would think that your life span woould be short.
I don't advocate anyone being killed for exercising their 1st amendment rights, no matter how offensive or odious, but this guy ain't gonna have a national holiday in his honor.

More drivel from the website: "Our problem is this: the military is a lifestyle these morons chose. What idiot risks their life for a country? It's what they chose. Forsake our Troops! They must think that if they go to war, they don't need to pay taxes just......just like the rest of us. Let 'em die in combat-- we don't need their ilk!" Lucky he did not live near me. Would have been glad to go over and have a "discussion" with him. He enjoys his freedom and ability to speak freely but disses the military who put their lives on the line for people like him. Sorry to see him die (do not agree with this) but very happy that he is not spouting off his BS any longer. Now if we can just get Al Franken to run out of money sooner and close down his radio station. JoeA

If it turns out to be false, I'll gladly retract the story
 I posted it because I thought it was interesting from the point where people took a 'cyberspace' issue to 'meatspace' with severe consequences. This isn't the first time this has happened, and probably won't be the last.

A quick Google search indicates this whole thing may have been a fraud perpetrated by a Scott and Laurie Vogel. I would like to see any news stories of Mr. Crook's death carried in the established media. For now it appears a couple of very sick lefties made the whole thing up including the horrible beating and death. I don't know what to think at this point. If there was a Mr. Crook he was certainly a deranged individual. If there never really was a Mr. Crook, than it sounds like the Vogels might have some issues to address. Either way, there are some very sad s.o.b.'s that pulled that site together.

If true--so what..
if not true, I am sure some military personnel would love to visit the Vogels.

Hmm, I guess I should start looking for some salt and pepper - looks like I might have some egg on my face...

high-level anonymous sources lead you to bad information and you ran with the story too quickly, thom? Now you know exactly what happens when people want a story to be true.

No worries widebutty. You hit anything anti-American like a bass hits a night crawler. Or should I say mullet?
And besides, this isn't nearly as lame as your story about your stable of women.

Rather's position hasn't been filled yet, has it? Aren't they just using temps until they can find another resident liar, i mean, journalist?

I don't believe 90% of what is written about Hillary and what a criminal she is. I just don't like her policies. Having said that, there are some things I want to believe, but there is a lot of fiction out there and you have to verify before drawing any conclusions.
If this freak who had the hatethetroops.com website were in fact killed by military personnel, you wouldn't have to Google to find it. That story would lead the news for the next 2 weeks!!
