- you mean a bunch of emotionally crippled sky-god worshipping freaks were upset when somebody didn't go along with their sky-god crap? Shocked! Shocked, I am!
I fear that the mistake that these two bloggers made was to give up. FIght the fight (or ignore it, as you would a yapping dog or non-existant god). If you were a liability to the Edwards campaign, it is their job to boot you. Or so it seems to me.
Further, I agree with Ms. Marcotte that this will only embolden the right wing noise machine and allow them to recruite new and eager e-soldiers to fight the only battle they can win- the smear campaign.
And yet more. The smear campaign must be destroyed before it destroys us. Since the 80s, whenever I hear anybody talking about entering politics, almost everyone says "Not just no, but HELL no. I wouldn't do that to my family."
The smear campaign has become so common and so expected that nobody even seems to notice it anymore, much less notice that it's driving out all the normal people and filling our leadership pool to the sociopaths (who don't give a damn about their families anyway) and the absolute freaks with something to prove (G. W. Bush).
