Dear BartCop,

As a devoted reader since the theft of election 2000, I thank you from the bottom of my heart
for the worderful job you do.  I want to help with the hammer and all, but am a struggling wage-slave
supporting a wife and 2 kids on a measly paycheck.  Please give me some time on that.

I was very disappointed about the story you ran last week that was supposedly yanked off
abc news' website about the summary executions.

While I appreciated your retraction, I had already sent the story to my Dad, Brother, & best friend
(as you had implored us to do - thank god I didn't send it to more people.  Now these people think
of me as a conspiracy theorist & crackpot in spite of my retraction.  I suppose it's a good lesson
for me to double-check everything I read on the net before passing it on- it's just that I had expected
so much more from you.  I thought you were very thorough in verifying these things.  The sad thing is
that the message that Bush policy isn't very far removed from said story is pretty much lost on these
people now (they are all moderate enough to usually be receptive to my messages).

Anyway, I still love the site.

Scott.
 

Scott, I've said it maybe a hundred times, maybe I should say it another hundred times.
Don't believe everything you read here.

For that matter, you can't trust ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, the New York Times, the Wash Post etc.
All those "news organizations" traded their credibility for a couple of extra dollars.
You can trust Fox News to lie as often as the vulgar Pigboy and Laura the Unloved.

To cover yourself, instead of saying "this happened yesterday," say
"I read on  bartcop.com  that this happened yesterday."
That way, the blame falls where it belongs.
 
But as far as that actual story - stick with it.  This illegal gang of thugs who stole power has already
announced their intention to hold secret trials and secret executions. Since the press and the Democrats said
"Sure, George. Murder anyone you want, we're behind you 100 percent," Bush and Ashcroft can now legally
murder ANYONE they designate "an evil-doer," and you can bet they're not going to give us a play-by-play
of who they've executed and when. Hell, they won't even say who they've thrown into a dark hole in violation
of the US Constitution.

Also remember - I didn't retract anything.
Tamara Baker sent me a special e-mail asking me to run the original story again along with HER retraction,
which I strongly disagreed with. Like I keep saying, the killers have already proclaimed their intentions to
secretly kill anyone they don't like.    What part of that do you think they don't mean?

Four other points
You wrote:  I had already sent the story to my Dad, Brother, & best friend  (as you had implored us to do...)
Just for the record, there's a difference between printing someone's e-mail and my personal guarantee.

Second, the only HINT we have that the story may not be true is this line from Tamara Baker,  "I just found out
that Robert Basler of Reuters (Robert.Basler@reuters.com) has declared this story to be a hoax."

Now, I don't know what level of credibility you assign to Reuters, but they are not in the NEWS business.
They are in the money-making business, so you have to remember that when reading their reports.
For all we know, Karl Rove called them and said, "Kill that story right now, goddammit!"

Third: I might make mistakes, but I'm not being paid to lie by a billionaire. Ever non-web news source
in America is billionaire-owned and they aren't happy with the billions they have. They're going to give you
the story that will make the most money - NOT the truth.

Last: Think whatever you want of this website, but believe what they're saying about Bush.
          They didn't steal the White House so they could do the right thing.
          They stole it because they weren't happy with hundreds of millions of dollars.
          They wants hundreds of billions and, with noibody to stop them, they're on their way.
          Every country we're attacking has oil that will soon have the B.F.E.E. brand on it.
