I pulled the quote from the article.
MY comment on it was: "Interesting, so some of the pro-Cindy trolls lately have been 'independant commentators'?"
We've had trolls lately slamming us for not showing sympathy for the twit.
How about reading my post again.
Note that the first line is in QUOTATION MARKS.
That means it is QUOTED.
Note that the second line, my comment, is NOT in quotation marks.
The full quote from the article says this:
"The backlash is becoming a new object lesson in how saturation media coverage and the instinct for personal attack are shaping political debate. Some independent commentators said the pushback on the right has succeeded at scuffing the public sympathy and deference she had earned as the mother of a fallen soldier, and has shown how virtually any subject relating to the Iraq war and Bush's presidency is viewed through a partisan lens."
Note the line about 'independant commentators'.
I'm willing to bet those 'independant commentators' were the trolls we've had lately.
That line stood out for me also and I was about to post something similar....good post.
