I really hope you're just posting this nonsense because we are in a political campaign. Surely you don't actually believe that anyone who criticizes Media Matters is a member of the GOP? That's about the most bizarre thing I've seen here. You might want to lighten up with the dogmatic posts because they don't make any sense.
