		<description>&lt;em&gt;FreeMarketLiberal Says:

Oh boy how I love that the Independents even post how REDICULOUS TP is!!!&lt;/em&gt;

There&#039;s nothing &quot;independent&quot; about your wingnut site.
&lt;blockquote&gt;24Ahead.com offers no-nonsense coverage of topics such as &lt;strong&gt;immigration&lt;/strong&gt;, national politics, &lt;strong&gt;media bias&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;multiculturalism&lt;/strong&gt; and we&#039;ve been doing so in over 8000 posts since 2002.

&lt;strong&gt;The coverage leans somewhat to the &quot;right&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; on many issues, but this site gives no quarter to Party hacks, no matter the Party. This is an archive/news and opinion/advocacy/&lt;strong&gt;activism&lt;/strong&gt; site that occasionally does original reporting.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Bold added by me - all right-wing code words.  This is not politically &quot;independent&quot; at all.  Change &quot;right&quot; to &quot;left&quot; in the second paragraph and it could be describing TP.

If it&#039;s really &quot;independent,&quot; then the site owner should be some organization with a reputation for &quot;independence.&quot;  But nope, it&#039;s just some guy from Hollywood.

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
What makes this particular individual&#039;s website &quot;independent?&quot;  As far as I can tell he&#039;s just another wingnut.  So why cite this guy&#039;s blog as an &quot;independent&quot; news source?

The site you reference itself oddly cites &lt;a href=&quot;newshounds.us/2008/03/20/hannity_denies_past_association_with_white_supremacist_but_evidence_suggests_otherwise.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt;, which merely supports Amanda Terkel&#039;s conclusions regarding the Hannity/Turner relationship.  And yet, your site calls it a &quot;smear&quot; to point out that Hannity and Turner are linked, saying that we should dig through the comments at Huffpo for proof:
&lt;blockquote&gt;...pointing out that Hannity&#039;s radio producer has noted a series of holes in Turner&#039;s account (choose &quot;HuffPost&#039;s picks&quot; on the comments popup at huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/23/sean-hannity-confronted-o_n_92961.html and do a find for PhilBoyceWABC).&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Digging through a comments thread on a website is not an appropriate journalistic citation.  Not even for a wingnut.  It&#039;s over 8 pages, and I&#039;m not going to click through them all anyway.  Fortunately, HuffPo updated that item to include/explain PhilBoyceWABC&#039;s comments:
&lt;blockquote&gt;Update: Newhounds has updated its Hannity/Turner post, pointing out a comment signed by Phil Boyce, Program Director of WABC, Hannity&#039;s radio station, disputing many of the facts, especially the dates, in Turner&#039;s account (Boyce&#039;s comment has been posted here as well. See first comment below). Newshounds responded to Boyce&#039;s criticisms, saying: &quot;the real issue is what was Turner allowed to say on the air, how often and what was Hannity&#039;s reaction? We have an article in a national magazine plus one of the parties involved who say that Hannity was a welcoming, friendly and encouraging host for Turner&#039;s views for a good while. Neither Boyce nor Hannity has specifically denied that.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Here&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newshounds.us/2008/03/23/neo_naziwhite_supremacist_hal_turner_confirms_friendship_and_kinship_with_sean_hannity.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Newshounds&#039; response&lt;/a&gt;.  It makes for a fascinating read, too fascinating for me to quote a portion of.  Well OK, maybe one; I can&#039;t resist:
&lt;blockquote&gt;In his post (Warning: not for the faint of heart) that reveals just what kind of guy he is, Turner writes:

&lt;blockquote&gt;In my opinion, based on my first hand experience, I believe Sean Hannity is, in fact, a Hal Turner sort of guy. It seems to me that a big difference between Sean and me is that I am willing to say publicly what I think about savage Black criminals, diseased, uneducated illegal aliens and the grotesque cultural destruction wrought by satanic jews while Sean and many others keep quiet to protect their paychecks.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So your &quot;independent&quot; website is lambasting Terkel for reporting (as they say, &quot;smearing&quot;) that Hannity and Turner have a relationship which (although disputed by Hannity&#039;s program director) has been thoroughly documented by Newshounds.  Not very &quot;independent&quot; after all, is it?

The moral of the story: learn to traceback your links before marching in here and telling us what the Interwebs say.  If I have to do your homework for you, then things aren&#039;t going to go well for you at all, you stupid wingnut.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Republicans Love Facts Says:

by Larry Wohlgemuth
Share this on Twitter - Olbermann = Piece of Crap = Rush Jr. Wed Jun 24, 2009 at 06:57:24 PM PDT
Yeah, you heard what I said and I will scream it at the top of my lungs.&lt;/em&gt;

Ah, this is what you were talking about.  OK.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/6/24/746547/-OlbermannPiece-of-CrapRush-Jr.&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Here&#039;s the link&lt;/a&gt;.  You do realize that anybody who registers at DailyKos can post their own blog (or &quot;diary&quot;) there, right?  You can go there now, register an account and say whatever you want also.  Then come back and tell us all about what &quot;DailyKos said.&quot;  It&#039;ll be awesome.  Go!

.

&lt;em&gt;flight Says:

Conformation of Koh may be the realization that they are fighting windmills and/or they are losing the base support as well as the independents.&lt;/em&gt;

Well, they could only have delayed it for so long.  Time ran out.  And they don&#039;t have the votes to really stop anything without a pretty good reason.

.

&lt;em&gt;flight Says:

I hope Obama’s stalling concerning the torture issues may have been the fact that he did not have a point man. Now he does!&lt;/em&gt;

Here&#039;s hoping.  Of course there&#039;ll be a huge amount of paperwork to do before they can announce everything, seeing how much of a mess Bush/Cheney left everything in.</description>

		<description>Why is it that Palin and Sanford get caught abusing funds spent for their travel and it&#039;s supposed to be alright that they just pay it back.  Why aren&#039;t they investigated for the fraud they committed.  RLF?</description>

		<description>It is not fiscally conservative for taxpayers to be paying the salaied and benefits for (R)s to throw spitballs, disrupt class and play hookey.  The obstruction of the party of no is a total waste of money.  The (R)s should all be fired and sent home to do their day jobs.</description>
