An uninformed, ill-advised opinion...

Here's a little thought on a side issue on the whole "Democratic candidates pulling their ads from Kos" incident (go over to Kos and check the diaries if you don't know what I'm talking about). I wonder how many of the candidates and members of their campaigns were truly aware of the nature of blogging, besides the fact that they knew it was a tool that allowed Howard Dean to raise a shitload of cash. I'm honestly surprised something like this didn't happen sooner, and I can almost respect (albeit not admire) the bulldog-like ferocity and tenacity the wingnuts showed when they got their teeth into this.

The real disgusting aspect of this whole incident is, once again, the Dems had the opportunity to play this card and didn't. Do any Republican candidates advertise on Free Republic? (I ain't linking, or looking at that one). What about any congressperson who appeared on a talk show panel with Ann Coulter, a pundit who has advocated violence against liberals and Muslims in the past? Did anyone raise a stink about that? Not that I know of. I understand that Dems/liberals, are, for the most part, rational human beings that think about the good they can do for the country while the Bushies only concern themselves w/winning elections, but maybe we've got to change our thought process slightly.

Yeah, the last sentence is an unfair generalization, but no one reads or advertises on this blog anyway. Oh, the joy of being unknown (hee)...

Oh, and the lessons Dem candidates should learn? If blogging interests you so much, take the time to make your own frickin' blog (like the candidate for VA-5, Al Weed!)
