Shorter PowderLine:
I’m for free speech except when I’m against it.

This is the smae Dartmouth that produced so many of our fine wing nut pundits (Laura Ingraham) and they are concerned about free speech?! Huh!

Are they getting paid by the visit???
Well, kinda, yeah. Most right wing blogs seem to have patrons instead of relying on blogads of reader contributions. Things like Glassman’s almost-like-journalism techcentralstation, for example, fund dollars to winger bloggers.

I looked at the site meter for Powerline.

Their average visit is 3 seconds.

“What, exactly, is contradictory about wanting to change the law while attacking others for breaking it before it has been changed?”

umm, in the context of a post that urges people to vote and mentions that candidate X has really good ideas ?

So, you’re saying that PowerLibel is being hyprocritical? Stop the presses.

In other breaking news, people will die today, and others will pay taxes.

And btw, Zywicki is the worst blogger on the conspiracy—he makes Bernstein look like a fair-minded independent thinker.

It is the Todd Zywicki of Volokh Conspiracy. He's mentioned the election here and elsewhere.

What, exactly, is contradictory about wanting to change the law while attacking others for breaking it before it has been changed?

One can believe that a law while simultenously believing its wrong to break laws.
