So any blog that supports something you like is
just fine with tricking you into clicking on it?
Even if the links could just as well be posted here?
You support trickery and theft as long as it favors something you like?
With all due respect, I think there are lots of “blogs” out there that support conservative causes and as long as they are decent and provide a good consolidation of information, I have no issue visiting them. Otherwise the Internet could be a very boring place. PalinTV, conservatives4palin, etc., are really nothing more than “blogs” that essentially consolidate videos and articles and some “original” content - but they are great sites where I can find information I might otherwise miss. I guess I really don’t see the harm in someone posting links to their own blog as long as it’s a decent site. Let’s face it, FR is largely a place where other peoples content is linked to. Even Drudge is not much more than a place that consolidates information from other sources. YouTube and other video sources allow embedding in order to allow people to share videos via their own site, so I don’t see why it is such an issue here. This fellow has taken the time and expense to put together a pro-Palin blog and as someone who has run an automotive discussion forum myself for ten years, I really don’t have a problem supporting his site with the occasional hit.
PS: this forum is titled “bloggers and personal” so if links to personal blogs are a problem here in the “bloggers and personal” forum, them what the heck is the point of this particular corner of FR?
