    More than anything, it’s just sad. Poor, crazy woman.

    It’s disgraceful that you reported this with that video yesterday, IMHO.

    Shame on the right for jumping to conclusions. It only shows BO to be an even more honorable candidate.

    Eng Esch,

    While it is true this is another example of the right jumping to conclusions, it does not in any way serve as proof that Barack Obama is the the “even more honorable candidate”.

    What I have witnessed is attempts to condemn, by extremists, every example of a loony by one side or another without being willing to acknowledge the reports about the loonies on their own side.

    I will say that Bearing Drift has served as an exception to this rule. But if you want proof that what I am saying is still true of the right just tune in Rush Limbaugh.

    Little David –

    I meant it only in a sense that every blog yesterday seemed astutely RIFE with espousing Drudge’s reporting. From this point, any blogger thus have thus cast a false sense of shame on Obama. By owning up and reporting it as false (good job — honestly) Obama comes out even more on top!

    BD does a fairly good job of reporting no-nonsense stuff. That post yesterday was horrific and by including that video (WHY!?!?!) it did McCain more harm than good — even if the story turned out to be true.

    You cannot claim that by “getting in peoples faces and arguing” Obama is directly responsible for this “attack” and yet that is CLEARLY what the author of the post intended. You don’t want to add fuel to the fire, and that post was clearly unprofessional and ugly. My two cents.

    Well, I am reluctant to agree with you. From what I have witnessed (limited exposure acknowledged) at least here the problem was admitted to.

    I am reluctant to agree with you only because I sense a willingness for you to condemn that what you yourself might be most guilty of.

    Thanks for the reminder, Jason.

    I just really love how every argument that the conspiracy theorists (on the right AND left) have against MSM treatment just fall into oblivion when something like this is exposed for what it is — a hoax. The fact that BD astutely fell in line with Drudge tells me more about this site’s ditto-headed beliefs than anything.

    To a degree, it’s impossible not to have some bias in the media. But your argument basically goes against the thought that everyone can think for themselves. Free will — it’s the basis for democracy. If everyone was subscribing to the same thought, this would be a terrible country.

    I enjoy the variety of opinions on BD, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that they all come from one side. I’d love stories with more variety, and less left-bashing. Give me ideas — this is why the GOP is losing. I don’t want ideologically bankrupt arguments that go counter to what has been proposed by one party — give me new thoughts, new dreams, new ideals.

    Until I see any, this will be my last comment participating on this site. I’d so much rather spend my time hearing proactive approaches from the “liberal left” than continue hearing utter negativity from every pore of the right.

    Such a shame that Reagan’s dream has come to this.

    This pathetic woman is obviously desperate for attention. What a waste of space.
