Considering the hay Republicans made of user-generated Bush/Hitler comparisons on MoveOn’s website in 2004 and GOP campaign committees’ proven eagerness to publicize Democrats’ association with their over-enthusiastic and unpredictable supporters, the DCCC would like to save themselves this press release attack.

This kind of guilt-by-association has unfairly dinged the man behind Big Orange, and Reynolds has said before this is one reason why he doesn’t have a comment section of his own. For what it’s worth, he doesn’t even self-identify as conservative, but in much of the blogosphere, it really doesn’t matter what you call yourself. And if you do describe yourself as “center” anything, you’re more likely to get burned at both ends.

To a devotee of attack journalism and smear campaigns, it’s a rather unsatisfying document; we carry no brief for Kos here, but when the slings and arrows are this poor — or this poor — it’s hard not to remark upon it.

(beta) Fri, 18 Aug 2006 23:39:17 +0000 http://www.blogpi.net/defending-the-kossacks#comment-100 <p>[...] As an activist, Stoller appears to project his own “hatcheteering” ways onto others, especially political journalists. Oh well. He’s made up his mind on this for sure, but if I’m an unblinking partisan hatcheteer, then he really isn’t reading very closely. Then again, Matt isn’t exactly known for his sense of proportion. And you can tell he hasn’t been reading very carefully in part beause his imprecise writing style implies that the “for instance” relates to me, when in fact he’s linking to Conn’s Wednesday column.
