Breaking the Rural Votes embargo: How to access Giordano's posts

During the long primary season, many here at Daily Kos came to appreciate (and link to) posts by Al Giordano, driving force in the "Authentic Journalism" movement, over at The Field. For much of that primary season, these posts were hosted at RuralVotes.com

But at the end of last week, Giordano and the hosts of Rural Votes parted ways, apparently due to a dispute over censorship. Giordano has indicated that one of his missives which discussed what the Obama campaign learned from legendary activist and organizer Saul Alinsky was taken down by Rural Votes, for reasons which still are unclear. (The presumption by many is that Rural Votes wrongly feared, in a concern-trollish way, that the association with Alinsky would somehow be used to smear Obama).

In any case, fans of The Field have been wondering (a) what is going to happen to their donations (approximately $5,000) to send Giordano to the Democratic National Convention in Denver, and (b) what is going to happen to the extensive archive of stellar Field content (and comments), which are no longer accessible at Rural Votes.

There is, however, a way around Rural Votes' embargo: Namely, pages cached by Google. Try this link:

The link above is to an advanced search of the terms "Al Giordano" and "Field" at RuralVotes.com. For each result, there is provided both the old link to the posts (which does not work) -- but also, glory be, a link to Google's "cache" of that page.

Click on "Cached" under each link, and  you'll get the text of an old Field post. The layout is a bit screwy, but the text (and comments!) are preserved.

It would take a little time to grab all of these and create an archive, but perhaps some Fieldhand wants to undertake that project... To that end, I've posted this info here, at Ning.com, and also at Giordano's new home at NarcoNews:

So, anyone want to help grab all the old Field posts from these caches, and create an archive for Al?
