My response was to the latest breathless scandal from a lame blogger who considered it so important and damning that they had to lump it in with last week's manufactured gnus.

And yes it was also a response to the op who just last night argued that Hillary didn't run a dishonest, racist campaign in 2008.

It's a glass houses thing.

I don't get my news from blogs that are owned by Hillary fans and I certainly don't recoil in shock when posters who have been smearing my candidate for months claim they're "chilled" by something they read on one.

Ymmv.
