The GOP harbors plenty of hate for specific persons - gays, atheists, scientists, immigrants, minorities, on and on and on. If a person falls into one of these categories, then all most conservatives offer is either sanctimonious pity (usually saying that they don’t know god) or contempt. As liberals, we might not agree with someone's individual lifestyle, career choice, etc...but we don't form groups to systemically marginalize, shame, or try to pass bigoted legislation in order to impose an intolerant, insular world view. All the GOP is now is a f'ed-up mixture of corporate bottom-lines and wedge issues. Most Americans, thanks to W and the GOP controlled congress, realize this and are turning away in droves. Here’s the difference:

Along the way there is pretty much anyone with an R before there name, and to be fair, about three quarters of the ones with D's. You hate oil, any sort of utility company (unless they put up a honking big windmill). You hate the papers, most media outlets, anyone that isn't buying into the Global Warming hysteria and seemingly anyone that attempts to hold any sort of morality-based opinion. In fact, about the only thing you do seem to like around here in Michael Moore, who is getting the heroes welcome in the wonderfully enlightened state of Iran. I am not clueless. And I did ask the question. Because I don't see a dimes worth of difference in rhetoric between those sites and this.

Your projection is amazing. Chris, if you have to ask that question, you truly are clueless. :)

I shouldn't have said he shouldn't be taken seriously, since I do think he cares about the soldiers. But Yon is proven to be pro-military intervention, de facto pro-war, and a staunch supporter of the faux reasons of why we are there, hence all the water-carriers on the right referencing him so much. The bigger question is: Why did the Pentagon give a blogger an embedded military assignment, especially while not having the credentials in the first place? That, and also given the testimony of previously embedded reporters saying they were not allowed to report on facts contrary to the administration's propaganda, should permanently place that grain of salt in everyone's mouth So if it smells like a fish and looks like one too, well.....

Powerline, LittleGreenBigots, PajamasMedia fill the first page of a Google search. Ann Coultier writes (or better yet, shills) for "respected" publications, but that doesn't add to her actual credibility now does it? You certainly know his bio pretty well, so I can’t be far off.
