The War of the Words

The War of the Words is an online mockumentary that tells “The Story of the 101st Fighting Keyboarders,” in the style of Ken Burns’ documentary of the Civil War. (Warning: strong language.)

They came from across America. Theirs is a story of courage, determination, and, above all, typing. They were the conservative bloggers, pundits and commentators, whose loud and prolific support of Republican foreign policy goals helped change the course of history in ways that would be felt for many years to come. They are the men and women — mostly men, though — who would come to be known as the 101st Fighting Keyboarders. This is their story.

I’m thinking most of the people immortalized here would rather have obscurity.
