Go back to that thread and see my comment which is #93. Without going back and reading the entire thread, my recollection is that almost every comment on the thread was negative about Ridge. I don't know how anyone could conclude that somehow Ridge's comment was ignored.
Let me rephrase. I missed that thread. While Ridge has come out and directly insulted Palin there has been one article (same one posted twice) on FR and little to no controversy in the blogosphere. On the other hand, while Mitt Romney has continuously sung Palin’s praises and campaigned around the country for her, there are countless threads smearing Mitt Romney on FR for days on end and a conspiracy theory hysteria in the blogosphere.
