“It looks to me like it’s going to be Obama, so yeah, I’ve been coming out to find ways to support him”.

Listening to that show again is torture. It’s no wonder you ran from Shane that day. I have the show downloaded, and would be more than happy to share it with you just in case you have trouble finding it. Your monologue that day was about how you would “endorse” the Democratic Party nominee – so the only person who has used that word is, again, you. Why does this all matter? I’ll tell you why. You whined on Rick Moran’s show that Shane had lied about your support for Obama – that was itself a lie, and he should have called in to the show and slammed you, but he has class, and didn’t think it right to use Rick’s show to do that. But we don’t forget thinks like that, especially when the evidence of your dishonesty is so easily found. You owe Shane an apology – are you man enough?

Bloggers have only their credibility to defend them, that’s why when we find a person so willing to slander others, whether its political opponents or well known Republicans, it can’t go unanswered. Your marketing strategy relies on attacking others, not their ideas – for that reason, you deserve the bad reputation you’ve earned.

Second, CStanley was commenting on the number of Limbaugh posts on the site, not the number by me. (Which is a total of “one” for quite some time.) That's what we were discussing, not my “opinions” on Rush. The choice of readers who don't care to read about Limbaugh to comment on any given Limbaugh thread rather than skipping over them. Man, the number of comments at Hot Air on that alone is hilarious.

Last, tying into number two, as our Editor and I discussed, this was yet another of my satire pieces, mostly making fun of all the hub-hub over Limbaugh this week. For chrissakes, I linked to a graphic of a *BIORHYTHM CHART” taken from Fark.com and ended it by saying “you read it on the internet so it must be true.” How both the LA Times and Hot Air readers managed to think that was a serious piece is a mystery, unless you simply read the title and commented without reading the post. It was making fun of all the nonsense over a non-issue. The fact that so many of you didn't get that is not on me, it's on you. Go back and actually read it again and you'll see that there's no way anyone could take this “article” as a serious analysis of Limbaugh being equal to Moore unless they are either entirely brain dead, or (like the Political Vindication boys) stuck in a mode of lying and not bothering to check any facts.

Stick to material that is simpler to grasp. As the recently passed Paul Harvey would say… “Good day!”

If you truly believe in the comparisons you have made, why not compare Obama and Hitler, you could easily show the MANY similarities b/w the two. Both great speakers, both for “the people”, both came from modest means, both have high approval ratings (in the begining), both are feared by the media (Gibbs and Emanuel calling out people by name). Do I believe that Obama is like Hitler, not hardly. Its just an example of how you can make two things look similar, that couldn't be further from each other.

Personally I think that bloggers tend to get way too defensive when someone criticizes the overall content of a blog, although I suppose that's because you can never please everyone (I realize, for example, that nominally conservative blogs must get a lot of flak for not being pure enough, and same for nominally progressive blogs, and then moderates get criticized anytime someone thinks that they're not playing it down the middle.) It still seems to me that on some level though, bloggers should consider that their readers are their customers and people who have been hanging around for a while (not just a drive by ) should be permitted to express an opinion relating to overall blog content once in a while if there's clearly a tilt or hyperfocus on one subject for a number of days.

If you and Joe and the rest of the staff disagree, it's your prerogative, but that's simply how I see it.

No, your browser is not stuck on this URL, and if your only response is to take your business elsewhere rather than simply skipping over posts that don't interest you, that's your affair and best of luck to you. But as you depart, please keep in mind that you were the one to not only read the article on a topic of no interest to you, but to take time out of your busy day to comment on it.
