How Freepers Honor the Dead
Via Atrios, I learned of this moving account of Pat Tillman's funeral, which everyone should go read. Now.
As it happens, I had also recently finished listening to Al Franken play Bill O'Reilly's latest broadcast slanders, which included the typical lie that Air America had "trashed" Pat Tillman on air. So I naturally wanted to see how the Freepers were handling this story. Short version: the same way they handled Wellstone's, by smearing his family and friends.
Standard disclaimer: Plan to take a shower after visiting.
