C&L and other progressive blogs have long fought against the likes of Bill O'Reilly and others who cherry pick random, incendiary blog comments and use them to try to give the impression that we lefties are just a bunch of mean and nasty people.

NEVER HAS ANYTHING SMELT MORE LIKE A SET-UP THAN THIS... the left wants this guys head on a platter, and we’er just going to sit around muttering inanities about how dumb this guy must be. I don’t underestimate anybody’s ability to be stupid, but this doesn’t pass the smell test, not right now it doesn’t.
