Morals and Family Values
Posted by Kevin

A blogger named Wild Bill outed the identity of one of the pages that was a victim of Mark Foley. That, in and of itself, was bad enough but, fortunately, Wild Bill doesn’t get much traffic. Unfortunately, Glenn Reynolds and Paul Roger Simon — too of the largest right wing bloggers, linked to the post outing the victim. (UPDATE: Sorry, wriote this in a hurry. Insty linked to Simon’s post linking to Wild Bill. Should have been clearer, sorry) I would ask if Reynolds and Simon have any shame, any decency, any moral calling higher than protecting the Republican party, but what would be the point? The answer seems pretty clear.

    Yep — he liked to someone linking the outing. But, of course, he will try to hide behind is lame “but I only linked!I didn’t agree” crap when called on it. No one of decent morals or character would lik to either the outing or people who liked to the outing. Period.

    Actually, Reynolds didn’t even mention that there was this particular information to be found at those links. Simon didn’t even mention it either, though he did link. I disapprove of the Wild Bill post too, but let’s not get carried away here.

    […] concludes the above-linked Think Progress post, primly. Not wanting to link to “Wild Bill” — the blogger who printed the former page’s name along with a bunch of pictures — is understandable, but not linking to a guy you’re claiming did link to it is problematic when he actually didn’t. (James Joyner analyzes this error here.) The trouble with this supposedly-principled omission of links is that people using Think Progress as a clearinghouse don’t necessarily check these things.
