Ah, the natives are restless on the lefty side again!
To: Mobile Vulgus
It seems likely the move is related to controversy in recent days over Sundays Post column by ombudsman Deobrah Howell. She has been heavily criticized by some political Web sites and bloggers for writing that indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff gave money to both political parties, when most research shows he only gave directly to Republicans. They're so desperate to spin it this way!

The left probably called the WaPo a tool of the right.

Yes, definitely a bunch of democratcompsympliberalpinkos doing all the threatening and stuff. That's so typical of them.
Think Ben Bradley got in his 2 cents worth too?

Yeah, I need a shower now. But it was worth it to read this:
I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF ROVE (4.00 / 6)
had his minions type offensive stuff so that this would happen and make the moderates look unhinged. Didnt he bug his office to make his opponent look bad?
LOL

Wow, that was fun. Can't ANY of them spell?
I would never close a blog, or an ombudsman blog. But the scandal isn't about Abramoff's personal contributions; it's about his personal contributions AND the contributions he diverted from others--that's the source of at least part of the suspected crimes. The libs just can't handle the truth that their guys are corrupt, and want to squealch the truth with silly obfuscation.
This scandal will sink R and D alike, and it should. Libs and conservatives should be in agreement that all corrupt politicians should be found and dumped. But libs don't care if "their" guy is corrupt, because "their" guys at least oppose the eeeeevil Republicans.
There's a message here for Republicans, too.

"Hate speech," huh?
What was it? Rationality?
To: nickcarraway
How many times do we have to be sicked by how unfairly right wing the Washington Post is?They're so unfairly to the right politically that DU archives the whole website on DU's server, and nary a peep from the WaPo. I mean, how assinine can they be?

You have to admit though, the WaPo isn't ready for prime time. They should just ditch trying to become a blogging site and just stick strictly to being a damn newspaper.

"While Abramoff, a Republican, gave personal contributions only to Republicans, he directed his Indian tribal clients to make millions of dollars in campaign contributions to members of Congress from both parties."
Howell is exactly right about this. What's more, an examination of every lobbying firm in Washington and most state capitols would confirm the practice. That is what lobbyists do. They direct their client's PAC (political action committee) contribution dollars to the committees and leaders with whom they do daily business. Congress loves it, because it helps them fund their campaigns, and lobbyists stay in business in direct proportion to the amount of dollars they can pass around.
Been there, done that.
To: Mobile Vulgus
It's just one of the moves according to their agenda. Attack, attack and attack because they have nothing else they can go by. No facts to speak of. Gee, I wonder what kind of classes they have to learn this silliness?
To: Mobile Vulgus
The research I read shows he also gave directly to Democrats.
