The Guardian quotes DU!!! Congratulations to all who jumped to

[Thickasabrick]

investigate Operation Rescue before the site was "scrubbed".

Here's the Guardian Link:

The site was unavailable at the time of writing, but before it went down the left-leaning website Democratic Underground reported that Roeder contributed to a discussion about a planned vigil at Tiller's church.

He was quoted as having written: "Bleass everyone for attending and praying in May to bring justice to Tiller and the closing of his death camp. Sometime soon, would it be feasible to organise as many people as possible to attend Tillers church (inside, not just outside) to have much more of a presence and possibly ask questions of the Pastor, Deacons, Elders and members while there? Doesn't seem like it would hurt anything but bring more attention to Tiller."

[progressoid]

12. OK, everybody be on your best behavior for a few days to impress the Brits

[NYC_SKP]

15. I'm going to try to not say FUCK so much.

And shift to using "bugger" or something like that!

[progressoid]

19. I'm going to dress like Angus Young (I know, he's Scottish), and I'll let my...

...dental hygiene go all to hell for like a week.

Top That! :P

[progressoid]

22. The French have something to say...

[NYC_SKP]

54. As a one-time colony, Australia works for me.

I'm lovin' me short panties! :party:

[druidity33]

59. you know...

Australia was of course not just any kind of colony. It was a penal colony. (Not penile)

It's where there rock & roll souls come from...

:)

[RagAss]

53. LOL...and I know Dewars is Scottish....but I'm drinking it anyway !

[bigtree]

18. Awesome! n/t

[Odin2005]

24. WOOT!!!

:woohoo:

[rainbow4321]

27. Yay for DU'ers!!

And let it be a lesson to groups like Op Rescue that shutting down your site while you scrub it clean doesn't do shit to the "click here for cache" option. Some dirt you just can't wash off!!

[AsahinaKimi]

[Laura PourMeADrink]

40. wow - K&R - How'd you find this? Bet your eyes popped out of your head.

[Thickasabrick]

43. You are right! I just sat there blinking - I had to read it 4 times before

I jumped over here to tell everyone. I am just so proud of our investigative DU'ers for all of their hard work!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

41. Get down with your bad self DU.

:fistbump:

[RainDog]

42. DU and The Guardian are the two venues that got me thru the first years of Bush

honestly. there were so many stories that were reported on The Guardian (Jessica Lynch) or here (Chavez coup) that NEVER showed up in the so-called free press here until months later (if ever.)

So, congrats!

I think DU got information out to a lot of outlets with those screen captures.

[Kurovski]

44. K&R. (nt)

[annabanana]

45. Boy Howdy is this place hot stuff or WHAT?

(blown away)

[kestrel91316]

46. DU: Now THIS is what REAL investigative journalism looks like.

MSM would do well to pay a little attention.

[madrchsod]

47. soon we`ll come out from the shadow of the mighty KOS!

we are finally being recognized in the media here in the usa and overseas.

[proud patriot]

48. Right On

:)

[Patsy Stone]

50. Yeah!

:toast:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

51. We lean left?

Oh.

That explains why I keep going around in circles ............

(That article is so damn COOL!)

[Liberty Belle]

52. they were smart enough to block access from the Wayback Machine site.

The GOP does this. I'm surprised Operation Rescue was so sophisticated and suspect they got help to clean house.

For those who don't know, you can find such things often by typing the scrubbed url here:

http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

You can also check for the cached copy.

When you see something damning, it's always wise to do a screen shot and save it for posterity.

[Norrin Radd]

57. Back in the 90's, when the archive.org went up, there were plenty

of articles on it in tech and web print mags and online discussing it and passing along info about robots.txt files.

[defendandprotect]

55. Congratulations fast thinking DUer's . . . !!!

[depakid]

56. DUer's had his criminal record and court dockets up really fast, too

Puts so called "mainstream" American journalists to shame.

[Norrin Radd]

58. Nice catch! Now, will all of the top, gutless Democratic sites that

refuse to link to us change their tune?

[Celtic Merlin]

60. I congratulate all DU folks who participated in the investigation! (n/t)
