I was referring to the blog ost as an article. I don’t remember if there are links. Iif this case is real I should think it’d be easy enough to search for it.

“This is a thread pimping blog post”

That doesn’t bother me. Blog pimpage as a whole is annoying, but in individual cases I can decide whether or not I want to read on. You are free to ignore it on principle. Just be careful debunking arguments you haven’t read, for they might be a different than you imagine.

In the very short description that the blogger gave for his blog entry, he said:

Why GOP won't challenge Voter Fraud.

It's not my fault that the blogger misrepresented his blog entry. The consent decree doesn't keep the GOP from challenging voter fraud. It doesn't even keep them from pursuing it.

I based my comments on what the blogger excerpted, since the excerpt should contain the meat of the article.

Having wasted my time reading the blog, I found nothing to change my opinion about what the blog was trying unsuccessfully to argue.

I don't care if people pimp blogs. I don't have to click the link, and I rarely do if they excerpt. And if they aren't smart enough to put good excerpt information in their threads, that's their loss when I comment on what they excerpted.

If the blogger wants me to comment on his entire thought, he can post it here.
