I’m not making excuses for Kos and DU. Those people are despicable. My point, and I think sam_paine’s point, is that people here say some despicable things, too, and it makes us look bad when we tolerate the same sort of claims here.
Try to compare anything on this site (usually said as a joke) to the day to day flood of sewage from Media Matters, Huffington Post, Daily Kos or DU. I dare you.
