there. It was a perfect for him actually.

I remember him when he was playing 'just another commenter' on a liberal blog. Out of hundreds of commenters he always seemed to get the attention of those who ran the place. People wondered why, he was certainly not particularly liberal or even interesting for that matter. I probably never would have noticed him had there not been a huge effort to 'push' him and to go after anyone who dared to disagree with him. It was extraordinary considering how many great liberal commenters there were on the blog.

But then we found out. And it all made sense.
