“The blog where you found this post also lists Democratic Underground as one of its “favorite” websites. I’m sorry, but I can’t put much credence in a blog that admires DU.”
Yes I understand and I do consider the sources, but that doesn’t mean that they are always to be dismissed out of hand. The Enquirer is hardly the go-to source for reliable news, yet they’ve gotten some great scoops. In the eyes of the DUmmies, Hannity was seen as a kook and an enemy when he kept harping on Obama’s Wright and Ayers connections, but to their chagrin they turned out to be true and powerful stories.
My point is simply that your enemy is much better at digging dirt about you than your friends, so if dirt is an issue you may want to pay attention to what they got.
Most of the time I ignore what DU and its ilk have to say, but in this case there is just too much “smoke”.
Be honest with yourself - do you really think the McCain team did a responsible job of vetting Palin, if at all?
