“Conservative bloggers are part of the story. They have vilified me, mounted a “wilding†attack against me…we were, it seemed the first victims of a new kind of digital McCarthyism, which uses the same techniques as the old McCarthyism–rumors, slurs, false charges and ugly attacks–but now employs the Internet, talk radio and cable TV echo chamber to ricochet information around the worldThe Anchoress has more via Instapundit.
Thoughts Online notes that the connotative usage of 'wilding' refers to the 1989 Central Park Jogger incident. Thus, Mapes equates right-wing bloggers with a pack of rapists and paints herself a sexual assault victim. Classy.
Prepare for the swarm Ms. Mapes.
Any other volunteers for the Digital McCarthyites? Any one have a better logo they can think of?
UPDATE: Tom over at Scared Monkeys Digial McCarthyite designed this logo. Awesome! Feel free to download the image here.
Goldfalcon comes up with his own McCarthy photoshop (it helps if you know something about old movies).
Other Digital McCarthyites (like a gang 'wilding' Ms. Mapes in an online Central Park): Charles Johnson, Bill Quick, Mean Mr. Mustard, Ace, Cream and Bastards, Scared Monkeys, INDCent Bill, Vince Aut Morire, Scared Monkeys, Beth at My VRWC, Dread Pundit Bluto, Musing Minds, NIF, The Right Nation, The Nose on Your Face, and a whole gang of others...

Liberals insult the real victims of the Holocaust by comparing Bush to Hitler and calling righwingers "nazis." This Mapes insults rape victims.
Rape victims are INNOCENT, and they get their vaginas forcibly PENETRATED, and then they get beaten within inches of their life.
Mapes, you just lost your job, and you deserved it you stupid cow.

wilding. Slang. The act or practice of going about in a group threatening, robbing, or attacking others (The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition Copyright © 2004).

The party is going down hard, and that will put a smile on my face. I am sick of this president being only as correct as he must in order to stay just right of center, we need a real man and a real leader, not chumps like Bush.
Oh, but wait, he secured Iraq! We don't need borders now, right?
This passport move is just one in a long line of idiotic moves that a moderate lib like Bush can be expected to make.

I have never heard 'wilding' used in any other context than to describe the actions of the group of young men in the Central Park Jogger case, and the term certainly wasn't in popular usage until after that incident, as this Google search shows.

Rumors? Slurs? False charges? Who is she referring to CBS or us Digi-McCarthites? Exactly what part about the fact that the Bush National Guard Docs were fakes did she not quite understand? Earth to Mary Mapes ... the docs were phonies.
I would think the ugly attacks and fabricating a smear peice on a sitting President so close to an election in an effort to have the MSM chose a President is quite a heneous act,

and Beck, Drudge, Ingrahm...
Oh, and reading Day as well.
I guess you think the homeland security recommendation (and now law) about requiring passports (those internationally recognized ID thingies) for international travel across our borders is no good because it would be bad for free trade (the mechanism that enables us to support slave labor in China all while increasing our trade deficit) in North America?

A “conservative†from the Repub party that will do something about our borders and “free tradeâ€, there are a only a few of them and I don't think the party wants them as Pres. As for the future, I clearly want someone that is actually interested in edifying and properly limiting government. Not just remaking it and putting a different face on it.
Sorry Carlos, I am a lunatic.
