Here at Blackinformant.com, I make no attempt to hide my conservative leanings when it comes to politics. Why should I? I’m not going to try to cloak this fact by referring to myself as a “new school”, “ol’ school” or “hip-hop” Conservative or better yet–a plain Independent. This is just as bad as Liberals who are now resurrecting the word “Progressive” as their latest moniker. To me, that is a very cheap and silly way of trying to avoid the fact that you are a person with an opinion that may differ from who you perceive is the majority.
This morning I read about Sen. John McCain is reaching out to Liberals bloggers by opening up his weekly conference call to bloggers to include Liberals.
“In answering the first question on the call, Mr. McCain said his likely Democratic opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, lacks the judgment to be commander in chief, which set him up for a bruising from the readers at TalkingPointsMemo.com, a liberal-leaning site that joined in the call.
Blogger Greg Sargent said it amounted to “what may be [Mr. McCain's] most direct attack yet on Barack Obama’s national security credentials.” But commenters were split: Some took aim at Mr. McCain, some said they were thankful for the intelligence on “what the enemy is planning,” and others lashed out at Mr. Sargent, saying he should have been harsher in evaluating Mr. McCain’s attack.”
Now check out what is said next by someone who is unafraid to be honest for a change.
“This IS a Democratic blog, and as such, it would seem to me that there SHOULD be SOME bias with regards to how YOU report of McCain’s craziness, as opposed to treating his ranting and attacks with a sort of dignity they and he DO NOT deserve,” wrote one emphasis-abundant reader. (more…)
“Fair and Balanced” is relative in politics. So the next time someone wishes to lecture me on not being “Fair”, keep this in mind. Capiche?
At least someone was honest
