CREW-DiFi Corruption thread: gone but not forgotten

UPDATE: Blogger P911 drops by and makes this observation shotssnapcom.jpg

”I wouldn’t be surprised if that cache disappeared, one dark and stormy night.”

It’s gone, Jim…

Yup, it’s gone. It never existed. Melanie Sloan has some explaining to do.

Attorney Sloan, where is this page? www.citizensforethics.org/node/19923.

CREW: Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington uses high-impact legal actions to target government officials who sacrifice the common good to special interests, or, so states the website’s self-description.


After leading the charge along with the NYT against Mark Foley (R-FL), it must have come as quite a shock to the radical left to see a popular Democrat come into CREW’s cross-hairs in a January 25 expose of the Feinstein – MILCON scandal. Still, CREW stood by their story, which was linked or referenced by scores of conservative websites.

difi.jpgSo what changed? It’s not like anyone really believed that the Soros-funded “CREW” was anything but a partisan hit site. Maybe it’s a testament to the Digg Effect. Four days after the CREW article was posted on Digg, and some 900 diggs, the thread disappeared. Only Melanie Sloan knows for sure. Perhaps Sloan, a Democrat activist lawyer, decided that being true to her Democrat roots is more important than the high-minded mission statement of supporting ethics in government.

Here is the Google cache of the original story.

How long will the MSM continue to ignore this important story? As long as they can, of course.

As usual, the New Media is taking point: Nuke’s bookmarks on the DiFi mess…….

  1. I believe you got the answer to the question you asked about Google, Nuke.

  2. Yup. A real shokka

  3. Whoa! Lt. Gen. McInerney on Fox News just came right out and said that we have a huge problem in the US with radical Islam and jihad being promulgated to the brainwashed masses in mosques, and compared it unfavorably to fascism, etc. Thank you for saying it out loud, Lt. Gen. McInerney. He also said that it isn’t a war on terror, it’s a war on radical Islam. He also said something to the effect that military people have long been worried about the prospect of terrorists just walking across the border and into the country, but I was busily yelling “it’s about DAMN TIME somebody said it” to the television and so didn’t get the whole thing.

    Where there are mosques with speakers advocating armed slaughter of US citizens, I advocate jailing their leaders, seizing and selling the mosque assets, and keeping a real close eyeball on all of the members, their movements, and their finances as members of a terrorist organization.

  4. Must get some work done. Back this evening

  5. Yeah, I’ve had some unpleasant work thrown my way, so I’ve been avoiding it. Just ignore it seems to be my mantra this morning.

  6. Towns west of me (not far!) in Baker County, Florida are being evacuated as the Okefenokee fire nears. I’m glad that the wind is coming in off the ocean because the only thing between our place and the towns being evacuated are a lot of woodland.

  7. I…uh…sure wish a screenshot or word document had been made, for posterity.
    Maybe someone saved it.

  8. Good luck with that burn going on. If you delay the unpleasant tasks long enough, maybe the flames will get them.(?)

    Meanwhile, in the land of daily thunderstorms, I went to bed with the current weather map assuring me that all was well, and no disturbances were to be expected in my immediate area for about 48hrs. As I was leaving this morning, I looked around, and thought it looked like it rained last night, but it must have been the high humidity. I turn on the traffic and weather report and discover that a big boomer rolled through sometime after 1:30a.m., with the Good Lord’s own idea of a light show, and a heavy downpour. There were even some homes destroyed/damaged by lightening strikes. Me? As I have often said, I didn’t see nuthin’, and I didn’t hear nuthin’.

  9. Yeah, just got a call from my employer due to my inactivity on that particular account who asked if I had a problem. “Yes, I would like to see you dead and burning in hell!” He just laughed and told me to get to work on it. Sigh.

  10. Many of the fires currently being fought now are the result of lightning strikes with no rain. Lightning can really damage a house.

  11. We might want to screenshot this story too, as the chronic corruption of the leftards has a way of disappearing.

    No wonder the Horny Hick was laughing so hard after Ron Brown’s funeral.

  12. Well, Swampie, you obviously haven’t conveyed how totally serious you are, if he’s laughing at your sincerest wish.

    Demography is destiny. When I was in kindergarten in 1950, Detroit was the nation’s fifth largest metro area, with 3,170,000 people. Now it ranks 11th and is soon to be overtaken by Phoenix, which had 331,000 people in 1950. In the close 1960 election, in which electoral votes were based on the 1950 Census, Michigan cast 20 votes for John Kennedy and Arizona cast four votes for Richard Nixon; New York cast 45 votes for Kennedy and Florida cast 10 votes for Nixon. In 2012, Michigan will likely have 16 electoral votes and Arizona 12; New York will have 29 votes and Florida 29. That’s the kind of political change demographics makes over the years.

  15. Hey!
    I posted that one night, several weeks ago.
    /well…

  16. Great piece from The American Thinker, from yesterday.
    A Theory of W.

    So W. is the man. He’s made the toughest decisions, and he was far and away the best choice for this very hard time. I admire him, and also see his limits. That’s life. We don’t get perfection in presidents. Lincoln had a squeaky voice. Washington had false teeth. Jefferson kept slaves. Humans are flawed.

    We’re just blessed that in a time of real danger, the United States has lucked out again and found the right man for the job.

    Amen, brudder!

  17. #15 “Demography is destiny.” Yep or as Mark Steyn is so fond of reminding us, if you want to make history, you gotta be there for it. Europeans are by and large removing themselves from the genetic pages of history as are liberals here.

  18. The entire town of Taylor, Baker County, Florida, is now under *mandatory* evacuation as a new fire in the Okefenokee started by lightning has jumped over from Georgia. Unfortunately, the (light) rains from the system in the Atlantic are not forecast to reach the fires; the winds are. We can only hope there won’t be any lightning associated with it.

    * A lot of those people are likely choosing to stay and fight the flames.

  19. Davis, Georgia, is now under mandatory evacuation as well. Wildfire viewer.

  20. Bradford county fires burn 25 sq. miles overnight.

  21. The DiFi post “gone”. Well how about that. Quite the enigma, wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in rhetoric – eh?

  22. It’s all of that, and then some. Naturally, it means that the “corporate philosophy” of You can make money without doing evil does NOT mean that you can’t jump in between the sheets for a roll with evil. After all, Clinton taught us that what they’re doing at CREW’s behest really isn’t sex, after all.

  23. Oh, congrats on getting on El Rushbo’s show today!

  24. Thanks, it was really fun and enjoyable.

  25. Whoo-Hoo!

  26. I’ll leave it to our readers and friends from the UK, to determine if what this guy says is true, but for what he seems to know about what is happening in the U.S., this guy is an idiot.
    This is what happens when you have a template, reach a conclusion before writing, then fill in the article with nonsense.
    A guy from the Guardian, wrote this.
    I started to leave him a comment, but what good would it do…he’s already so misinformed, and so certain of his leftard template, I would come across as the idiot, for commenting.

  27. Hi,
    I’m Gerry.

    Just saying hey – I’m new.
