Calling Andrew Sullivan
For two days you have been whacking away at Sarah Palin. What is your reaction to this bit of slime?
Hope and change. Check. End the politics of personal destruction. Check.
UPDATE: Charles Johnson has confirmed -- or at least adduced email testimony -- that this site has no official tie to the Obama campaign, which is a relief. Instead, it seems to be the output of somebody with no known tie to the campaign who has built a network of web sites to generate quick responses and attacks on the McCain campaign.

Probably just one of those hair-trigger campaign reactions, not unlike the Chicago thug machine's attempt to prevent Stanley Kurtz's investigation of the Annenburg files or Kurtz's appearance on Milt Rosenburg's WGN radio program.
Hey is that a "chill wind" we feel blowing in off Lake Michigan? Somebody ask Tim Robbins.

Sullivan fell into McCain's trap.
Read the column by Democrat Kirsten Powers in today's New York Post: "A brilliant trap makes Dems the male chauvinists."

Why do you keep trying to drive traffic to that pathetic loser?
But thanks for telling me what the link was so I didn't get trapped.
Why would anybody care what Sullivan says of what she "thinks"?
Give it a rest.

Could it be her stance on gay marriage that drives Sullivan?
Who is Sullivan anyways? A British resident who isn't even a citizen, and we pay that much attention to him? This kind of continous slime is really going to persuade people?
It will surely convince the faithful that support Senator Obama of the stupidity, perfidy and general evil of Republicans, but as for the rest of the electorate, not so much, I think.

Smells like a political operation to me. The shared IP address doesn't lie.

I agree with Larry. I have tried Andrew Sullivan several times in seven years on the Internet and I've never found a reason why anyone would read him, except that he took a strong position on torture that I now consider overstated. Stick to Kevin Drum.
