From driftglass:
It is necessary but not sufficient to use whatever talents we have to hang a lantern on the Conservative monsters and quislings who are killing the country.
We are also called to support those who will stand with us against the monsters, even as we acknowledge their imperfections. In the Liberal Blogosphere, respecting and supporting anyone who is not 100% Stein-Certified and Greenwald-Approved brings down the wrath of the Purity Angels, and over the last 13 years, this has cost me about half of my traffic. Which, as one of the last single-shingle, non-ad-supported bloggers still standing, meant taking a serious hit.
Was it worth it?
Damn betcha.
