Bury the Hatchet
It is sometimes amusing when we see one liberal faction unhappy with another. We can disagree on the right, too. I voted YES for a school board levy referendum, for example. Now we have a more serious disagreement, between MDE and Anti-Strib.
Yes, Anti-Strib (Tracy Eberle) was over the top, though much of what he said has at least some basis in fact. But the MDE (Michael Brodkorb) reaction was equally over the top. You shouldn't hang a friend out to dry based on one post, given his many contributions.
Tracy's point that Brodkorb's reaction is is a month later is very telling here. I couple that with some cases where Brodkorb seemed to prefer GOP talking points to the truth. I finally note the language in MDE's reaction - a Charles Schumer style outburst, not constructive criticism.
While I will not excuse or exonerate Anti-Strib, I will stand with Tracy Eberle here. If I were to drop one of these sites from my blogroll, it would be MDE.
However, I'd much rather read how they buried the hatchet this week.
