Fighting The Fear Merchants

Browner is blogging about the Edwards Blogger Kerfluckle:

The Blog | Matt Browner Hamlin: End of The Standoff and Pointing Our Guns At The Right | The Huffington Post: "...The netroots responded resolutely by taking up arms against the rightwing partisans who were leading the attack on the Edwards campaign and letting Edwards know that a misstep here could fatally damage his relationship with the liberal blogosphere.

And so the vicious standoff was set, carrying into the night. Then Edwards lowered his gun, previously pointed at the netroots via Marcotte and McEwan, and has stood by his bloggers. Now the tables have turned.

The netroots must continue to push back on the rightwing partisans who launched this attack on the netroots and the Edwards campaign. We must continue to point out that top staffers at the top levels of Republican presidential campaigns have ties to ongoing criminal investigations and past criminal malfeasance. We have to make sure the world knows about the ethical hardships some Republican presidential blog staffers have gone through in the past. We have to remind the media that they were played by Donohue, a hate-monger with no credibility to speak of (and potential lawbreaker himself)..."
