To The DU Handwringing Brigade: THIS Is What Vetting Looks Like!

[BlooInBloo]

You're welcome to parrot McPOW's "the internets are mean" bullshit as long as you like. Everyone now knows damn near everything there is to know about The Worst VP Selection EVAH, and it's largely thanks to those mean internets.

Or as AmericaBlog puts it:

http://www.americablog.com/2008/09/this-is-what-vetting-looks-like.html

"The new GOP talking point, dutifully repeated in the last 24 hours by McCain's spokesman, by Bill Bennett, by Gary Bauer, by Bill O'Reilly, and pretty much by every Republican surrogate on TV (they're very good at handing out talking points) is that the blogs are mean. That's John McCain's only response to the revelation that he didn't vet his choice for vice president of the United States? That bloggers are mean? Wow. If John McCain can't handle words from DailyKos, how is he going to handle bombs from Al Qaeda? But putting that aside, what really irks the Republicans is that the blogs, and the corporate media, did the vetting of Sarah Palin that McCain failed, and refused, to do. The next time a McCain supporter throws a temper tantrum over how mean everyone is to Sarah Palin, ask them why John McCain didn't even bother vetting our potentially future commander in chief. Had Sarah Palin been fully vetted, we'd never be discussing any of this.

Just a week or two ago DUers were kvetching about Democrats "not taking the gloves" off (really just a variation on the "Obambi" slam). Well the gloves are off biotches! :rofl:

Palin is the republican VP candidate. She's fair game.
