[...] Bearing Drift: ”Today’s joint failure by Tribbett and Abbey is shameful and should be condemned by all bloggers, regardless of their political stripes. And Sen. Deeds should take his campaign staff to the woodshed, in particular Joe Abbey, for his actions today too…unless, of course, he condones this sort of behavior.” [...]

Come on folks. Everyone knows you can’t believe half the crap written and posted on the Internet.

When any moron can sit infront of a computer and write whatever they want, you have to take that media with a grain of salt. Sorry but spin, BS and out right lies are mixed with the truth everyday on the Net. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just plain foolish.

If you’re a Democrat and your side’s got no game, you can always pull out the “Republicans, especially from the South, are all racist morons” card.

And they think he’s still relevant?!…

Benny-wenny, who blogs over at Not Larry Sabato (no, I’m not going to link him), seems to think that he can use blatant lies and poor reporting to promote his candidate, Creigh Deeds, over Bob McDonnell to govern Virginia. While Deeds is gallivanting …

Vivian –

Don’t you think the fact that Abbey pushed this via Twitter doesn’t at the very least raise eyebrows? It’s painfully obvious that (a) the picture is taken at an angle for a reason, and (b) certain people are invested in pushing the meme.

That having been said, once again we see the lines drawn up between ethical bloggers and bottom feeders. Damn shame… when the MSM is burned enough, they’ll stop feeding the trolls.

Vivian – Just as many Dems have called on Bob, Bill and Ken to disavow their unrelated supporters, so too should Deeds and others be held accountable for their supporters. Wrong? Maybe, but what’s good for the goose…

Wonder if Ben’s just as disgusted by Jim Webb or Mark Warner embracing the stars and bars. This and calling Deeds’s rural outreach a “Deliverance Tour” shows an awful lot of hate and narrow mindedness toward folks outside of the bathhouses Ben hangs out in in NOVA.

First of all, I know it’s easy to try to pin this on the Deeds campaign but you need to do a bit of research yourself before jumping to that conclusion.

Was Abbey an idiot to retweet it? Yes. But that doesn’t mean in came from him or the Deeds campaign to start with.
