We Love Kratovil - The Hypocrisy of Maryland's "Independent" Blogosphere

Liberals believe in something.  Unfortunately, the policies that they believe in have proved a failure.  That said, at least self-identified liberals (or "progressives") are willing to stand up for what they believe in.

However, liberal Democrats can't get elected by admitting what they believe in, so they claim to be "independent" or "moderate".  Some members of the blogosphere have decided to take a page from the Barack Obama / Frank Kratovil playbook and claim to be promoting "a different kind of politics" while in reality peddling the same old socialist solutions.  ShoreIndie has become the Maryland blogosphere's leader in this re-packaged hypocrisy.

ShoreIndie attacks conservative candidates for myriad sins and claims that they practice deceptive advertising.  Fair enough.  Unfortunately, ShoreIndie is incapable of distinguishing statements of fact from opinion.  He doesn't even appear capable of distinguishing a baseless opinion from an informed one.  Of course his pals, like liberal congressional candidate Frank Kratovil, NEVER say anything that isn't gospel.

Case in point - a series of videos ShoreIndie posted on YouTube of the first Salisbury debate between Andy Harris and Frank Kratovil.  It's important to remember that ShoreIndie did not post these until last week, long after the debate occurred.  Therefore, he is unable to claim that he is unaware of subsequent statements of, or actions by Kratovil.

We're using his video on "the Bailout" as an example.   Read More ...

"Unfortunately, ShoreIndie is incapable of distinguishing statements of fact from opinion."

Granted, Joe and his minions do plenty of good, but keeping fact and opinion objectivelt separated isn't exactly what one might call an everyday occurrence at SBYnews.
