anything.

In the past two weeks, I have seen links to The Daily Caller (Tucker Carlson's RS site) and The Blaze (Glen Beck's RW site) posted here as legitimate sources for news stories.

The first thing I see when I log-on to DU is a click-through ad about impeaching Obama, and another claiming to know Obama's 'dirty secrets'.

So complaining about links to a site that actually supports the Democratic president is rather ridiculous - but somehow not surprising.
