Rachel Maddow on the Importance of Reporting on Wingnuts
In the two-and-a-half years I've been doing this blog, I've focused on a lot of wingnuts. From Sarah Palin to Michelle Bachmann to Glenn Beck and everyone at FOX "News", a good chunk of my nearly 6,000 posts have been about wingnuts, and the spew of crazy unleashed by them nearly every day. So, why do I do it? Why give them the attention they so obviously crave?
Rachel Maddow encapsulates pretty well the reason why I--and she--like to shine a spotlight on the crazy train. Because to ignore them is to let them gain acceptance for their nutty ideas.
