I think Mike's comments come from the fact that this was going way cool as long as the conservative bloggers make the discoveries and expose the left. But there's also an active left blogsphere and they too will unearth ditties on us that will get traction.
The blogs are as dangerous to conservatives as they are to the liberals. Ask Gannon/Guckert.
Gannon/Guckert also has the blogosphere to thank for discrediting the Leftist critics and exposing them for the hypocrites that they are with their "Look - he's gay!" outing meme. I also note that Gannon has said that he has made "mistakes" rather than being proud of his conduct and promoting homosexuality as a good, alternative lifestyle. He seems rather repentant, which scores big points as far as I'm concerned.
The freedom of the blogosphere is not nearly as dangerous as the institutionalized Left-wing, anti-American Big Media. At least blogs really are the voice of the people.
I am not afraid of Left-wing blogs - all things being equal, the truth will prevail.
