Greenwald makes a fair point that not just Democratic hires from the blogosphere. However, though he quotes Hynes at length, he fails to do the same with Marcotte and McEwan, simply asserting that Hynes is worse without giving readers the information (nor even a link) to decide themselves. He further avoids fairness by calling Marcotte and McEwan's previous record mere "bad words" and posts that conservatives "claim are offensive" while calling Hynes's comments "vulgar and insulting." Not even a pretense of fairness...

Reminds me of Spy vs Spy from MAD magazine. Nice feud if you like that sort of stuff -- it's what keeps the ideological blogs ranting.

Raises valid question about the standard for bloggers who become part of presidential campaigns - and the apparent double standard imposed on the John Edwards campaign's new hires from the land of blog.

Does a great job holding Republicans to their own standards (as well as pointing out the uncritical media claim that right-wing criticism=something everyone should care about).
