Guardian on bloggers and Rachel Corrie’s reputation.

The Guardian looks closely at how bloggers covered the aftermath of the Rachel Corrie story, finding an unsavory pile-on in the echo chamber. Cointelpro Tool takes on this line of reasoning and finds that it echoes the Indymedia line.

    A poem for Rache.
    [Glinda]
    Come out, come out, wherever you are and meet the young lady, who fell from a star.
    She fell from the sky, she fell very far and Kansas, she says, is the name of the star.
    [Munchkins]
    Kansas, she says, is the name of the star.
    [Glinda]
    She brings you good news. Or haven’t you heard?
    When she fell out of Kansas
    A miracle occurred.
    [Dorothy]
    It really was no miracle. What happened was just this.
    The wind began to switch – the house to pitch and suddenly the hinges started to unhitch.
    Just then the Witch – to satisfy an itch went flying on her broomstick, thumbing for a hitch.
    [Munchkins]
    And oh, what happened then was rich.
    *The house began to pitch. The kitchen took a slitch.
    It landed on the Wicked Witch in the middle of a ditch,
    Which was not a healthy situation for the Wicked Witch.
    *The house began to pitch. The kitchen took a slitch.
    It landed on the Wicked Witch in the middle of a ditch,
    Which was not a healthy situation for the Wicked Witch.
    Who began to twitch and was reduced to just a stitch of what was once the Wicked Witch.
    [Munchkin #1]
    We thank you very sweetly, for doing it so neatly.
    [Munchkin #2]
    You’ve killed her so completely, that we thank you very sweetly.
    [Glinda]
    Let the joyous news be spread, The Wicked Old Witch at last is dead!
