Bury the Hatchet

   It is sometimes amusing when we see one liberal faction unhappy with
   another. We can disagree on the right, too. I voted YES for a school
   board levy referendum, for example. Now we have a more serious
   disagreement, between MDE and Anti-Strib.
   Yes, Anti-Strib (Tracy Eberle) was over the top, though much of what
   he said has at least some basis in fact. But the MDE (Michael
   Brodkorb) reaction was equally over the top. You shouldn't hang a
   friend out to dry based on one post, given his many contributions.
   Tracy's point that Brodkorb's reaction is is a month later is very
   telling here. I couple that with some cases where Brodkorb seemed to
   prefer GOP talking points to the truth. I finally note the language in
   MDE's reaction - a Charles Schumer style outburst, not constructive
   criticism.
   While I will not excuse or exonerate Anti-Strib, I will stand with
   Tracy Eberle here. If I were to drop one of these sites from my
   blogroll, it would be MDE.
   However, I'd much rather read how they buried the hatchet this week.
