The short version of why they hate Robert Stacy McCain is – “They’ve gone mad”. Slightly-longer version:
– He’s figured out how to make the transition from the oldest of media (specifically, the still-good Washington Times to the newest of media, the blogosphere.
– He’s still doing actual shoe-leather journalism.
– He throws out links better than anybody, and I mean ANYBODY, I’ve seen (especially in the mirror).
Despite that, or probably, because of that, Rachel Maddow brought back an old and false charge of racism (funny how that always seems to be the prefered card of the Left), which a West Virginia paper repeated like any good parrot (never mind said paper has gone to the mat time and time again to defend their former-Klansman Senator).
I had the privilege to run into R. S. a couple months ago. He is simply a great person.
If they’re not calling you a racist, you’re not being effective.
