You know, maybe my bookmarks are a bit outdated, but when I click on the one that is titled "Daily Kos", it takes me to a place that I hardly recognize anymore.
I guess all those who doubted me and attacked me in my diary from the other night really showed me how objective they are and would NEVER stoop to knee jerk recommends over unsupported and unsubstantiated allegations against Hillary Clinton and her campaign.
But why should we let facts or reality get in the way of a good smear? After all, I am sure that not waiting a few hours and finding out that both Clinton and McCain had their passport files breached as well was well worth having a diary that is short on relevance or insight but long on conjecture and accusations get over 300 recommends in just under 4 hours.
Let me guess - the fact that Clinton and McCain’s file was also breached was an elaborate setup by the Clintons to defray the blame and cover for themselves, right? And the Bush administration has always been on the up and up when it comes to spying on Democrats or political opponents, so this is obviously another Clinton ruse.
And I am sure that there will be an updated retraction and call to unrecommend yet another diary that makes unsupported accusations and shady links to Clinton’s campaign. After all, the fact that Bill Clinton’s passport file was breached in 1992 when.....George HW Bush was President means that this would be revenge to Obama for that - right?
But why not try and point the finger where it should be pointed - at the current administration and its outsourcing of basically everything, as well as the politicization of just about everything.
Maybe I need to recheck my bookmark links. This place USED TO rely on facts and support for anyone to make an assertion. Diaries that didn’t have that support not only didn’t get recommended but they got shot down and the diarist’s credibility was called into question.
As I said the other night, not any more. Because a foaming at the mouth emotional posse of attackers and accusers is so much more fun when it comes to reporting than actually, you know, having proof and facts.
Nice going. Just when I thought this place couldn’t reach a new low, even I am surprised. I can’t wait to see how this one is outdone the next time. Maybe a diary can get 500 recommends when it makes an even wilder accusation that is completely devoid of substance or fact or proof.
