re: pot, kettle
The article would have been more honest if it had pulled up at least one other example from another mainstream source (Townhall counts as mainstream IMO). Sorry, but I don't consider commenters at a BBS like "Free Republic" to be a mainstream source, any more than we are here.
For the record, the Daily Kos is constantly at or near the top of the blogs with the most hits of any blog. What is said there is not inconsequential.
