Sweeping Out The Trash

What does a link from Daily Kos and attention from the Left get you? A flood of appalling comment-sludge. Not spam. Sludge, dumped by angry left-wingers who can't seem to make an argument without using a bucket full of foul language and without engaging in personal attack. Comments like that came in by the hundreds yesterday, each one a testament to the refusal of the Left to debate the issue of Barack Obama's coziness with terrorist supporters and focusing instead on the use of Obama's middle name. My blog's comments policy bars such language and personal attack, I deleted them. All of them. Because I simply didn't feel like wasting my time reading every single comment. Even supportive, favorable comments and non-supportive but reasonably-stated comments were deleted, and the comments sections to those posts were closed. To those commenters, I'm sorry, but the hostile, infantile, potty-mouthed Left turned the comments sections into a room full of obscenity-screaming crazies and I'm not required to allow that on my blog.

To those of you who sent supportive emails - and there have been many - I thank you. We will fight on. You can join the fight here.
