34. Eh, they only have to look a little bit before
they start running off at the mouth with their bullshit.

Your point is somewhat true that the website could be better and that perhaps maybe he could be more visible on some things.

But in general I disagree. People should not be spouting crap about someone that they could easily do a little research and find it isn't true.

Short story: Back during the primaries, when the swift liars started their shit, I didn't know much about Kerry, and I didn't like what I was hearing. As a veteran, I found what they were saying compelling and disturbing. But did I go running around just repeating crap without checking it out first? NO. And I never spread what the swift liars were saying, because I checked out the facts first.

I realize (and rue) that many people do not respond by checking facts first. That's a bad deal for someone who claims to be a democrat, to do to a leading democrat like Kerry. Or Hillary, or Dean, or any of them. Even if someone isn't my favorite, I try to find out the facts and context about the bad things said about them.

And with the leaders of our party, we have a responsibility to know something about them before we start criticizing.

IMHO.
