Beware the Approving Link
Earlier today, Michelle and Jesse followed the lead of Greater Wingnuttia and linked approvingly to a John Ziegler’s hack operation HowObamaGotElected.com.
(The) Malkin(s) blogged that it was because “[s]tupid people voted,” yet in an interview with Nate Silver of 538 dot com, Ziegler said, “The point here was not to show that Obama supporters were idiots — there are plenty of idiots on both sides of the aisle — but what information they got from the media that they were able to consume.”
At least he’s polite, right?
NS [Nate Silver]: Well, since you’re running a website calling people misinformed, I’d like to see if — there are certain things you’ve said that I would consider misinformed.
JZ [John Ziegler]: Misinformed? You’re a piece of work! You are never going to have the guts to post a representative transcript on your website! I thought you actually ran a legitimate website!NS: Thank you, have a good day.
JZ: Go fuck yourself.
Of course, Hot Airian and Fake-Captain Ed Morrissey linked to it and even defended it. Gonna be a long eight years…
