Not saying that it’s so, but just throwing out the possibility.

For crying out loud, read the freaking material and make up your own mind.

Horrors! I guess I’ll be busy today scrubbing my site of my extensive anti-Katie material lest I get called on the carpet by…

Atrios? This article was written by Atrios - a.k.a. Duncan B. Black - and anyone takes it seriously? You know, the T-shirt guy?

I’d suggest reading each of the posts. I only looked at one and it was taken out of context. The rest are probably similar Atrios-level smears.

Maybe it just feels like a safe place to vent and be petty. Great information source and once in a while you find a meaningful discussion. So much of the content is very petty partisanship, though. Similar to DU.

Joseph Wilson’s background is far more damning than Corsi’s but he was held up as a paragon of virtue.

(That was until it was found he was a lying sack of dung.)

The Dems say that the fact he is a loony tune has nothing to so with the charges he levels against Bush.

Seems like a double double standard standard to me.

Yes, indeed. While anything you type can and perhaps will be used against you by people like Duncan B. Black, I doubt whether these comments were written with the same “voice” with which one might right a letter to The Times.

Also, the DU posts I’ve seen seem to be deadly serious, whereas many of the “Chubbie Chelsea” style comments one sees at FR are meant as a bit of a joke.

Also, there’s that little matter of Duncan B. Black having a bit of a problem with FR for some reason and attempting to indirectly smear all other FReepers.

And the anti-Catholic and anti-Islam posts of jrlc go beyond playful banter. And the whole “Hell-ary” bit is simply towards the lower levels of discourse.

Of course, I don’t read Eschaton because I find Black to be almost as juvenile in his daily posts. Drum may annoy me, but at least he is reasonable. Black’s posts hardly read like a think-tank economist.

And Mr. Wilson clearly has some truth issues, and I don’t find him credible. However, while I found Wilson to be arrogant and annoying, and his logic questionable, there was nothing along these lines that I am aware to point to prior to his book.

Understand that just saying: “Well, the left liked this guy or that guy” does not excuse someone on the right that you want to believe who may have questionable credentials.
