Finally, A Democrat With a Backbone

Lawrence O'Donnell, the moderate Democratic commentator, was on Scarborough Country with Swift Boat front man and long time Kerry adversary John O'Neill and just comlpetely slammed him.

You can see the video on the Daily Recycler, but what's more interesting is to read through the 200+ comments from the readers, most of whom are conservative. There's some quality stuff in there. The vitriol is heavy on both sides.

It doesn't matter what the story is or what the facts are, partisans on either side are quick to back whatever version of whatever story is being pumped that day that supports their view. I'm definitely guilty of this myself sometimes, but at least I make an effort to absorb as much media from all sides as possible in order to make an informed decision.
