What the hell happened?
Yesterday I read an interesting diary by "Fist of the North Star" which discussed the history of the Bush family (I now referred to them as The Bush Reich)and more specifically GEORGE BUSH SR. and his relationship to the family of John Hinkly, the man who attempted to assasinate President Reagan.
I cannot remember the exact title of the diary and cannot pull it up in a search because the diary has apparently disappeared into a diary Black Hole. Yesterday after doing three separate searches for the diary (both under my "comments" and Fist of the North Star "diaries") I was still unable to locate it. I am still unable to locate the diary this morning.
I had made three or four comments on this diary between approximately 5:30pm-6:40pm PST yesterday. There were around 50 or so comments on the diary. I was enjoying it and wanted to read and perhaps comment further on this thread. I was therefore pretty frustrated and flabergasted when it seemed to "disappear" into the Daily Kos diary black hole.
One can only assume that the diary in question was either deleted by the author, "Fist of the North Star", or by the diary police at Kos. The author has posted other diaries which are significantly more controversial than the one about BUSH SR. that I am refering to, most notably two diaries directly stating that "BUSH IS AL-QAEDA" and "BUSH CREAMED HIS PANTIES ON 9/11." These diaries are still available through search,even though they clearly break sight rules about "conspiracy diaries."
If "Fist's" two diaries on Bush/Al Qaeda have been allowed to stand, why should a diary questioning the relationship between Bush Sr. and the Hinkly family be expunged, if indeed it was "expunged." ?
It is of course possible that the diarist himself has deleted this diary, but he has not responded to two queries I made in separate diaries yesterday evening (one of them was a comment in Hunter's diary about Disney and the farcical treatment of "The Path to 9/11")asking about the issue.
If you indeed did delete your diary about BUSH SR. and Bush family ties to the Hinkly family please confirm "Fist of the North Star", and please explain. I was enjoying the diary and the thread and was thus disappointed to see it disappear so unceremoniously. Further, unlike your two diaries on the ties between Bush and Al Qaeda, I don't remember seeing any comments/demands that you delete the piece.
Where did it go? Oooooo I want to knowwww.
You present some pretty compelling material and some important facts "Fist," and I think it behooves the Daily Kos community to examinge these facts further.
Anybody out there who has a good understanding of how Kos "searches" function,and possible problems, please help me out here. While you are at it, I haven't been able to access my comments and diaries from further than 30 days back. I have had this problem for at least a month now. If possible please explain what is going on with this as well.
