ok, lemme see if I understand your drift.
Some FReepers may have spread rumors so we’re all guilty therefore KOS’s slander is our fault?
Kos and DU slander isn’t our fault and it’s wrong. But the point is that people act is if only the left does nasty stuff like that and it happens here, too. Saying that Hillary deserves the attacks and Palin doesn’t misses the fact that the left feels the same way in reverse. So this is less a matter of principle than of partisan indignation.
