Another Example Of Blogosphere Political Garbage
There's a new example today of the political garbage that sometimes shows up in the blogosphere. This time, it is on http://www.demookie.com/, a forum for Oklahoma Democrats that has a history of allowing posters to make unsubstantiated allegations.
FALLIN HIRES ILLEGAL ALIENS the headline today on the site reads and the poster ("edwardwhiteokc") immediately confesses, "I don't know that the teaser is true, but the odds are that some of our representatives are currently felons. That is, they are employing illegal aliens. Wouldn't it be nice if they got bit by the snake they let go?"
The administrators of this site, Tim Reese, Jane Luttrell and Calvin Rees, say they don't prohibit such untrue or misleading material because they support the 1st Amendment.
Recently, Reese wrote, "This site is different from a blog, in that we don't censor the stuff initially coming in. WE do try to police it the best we can. This board is the creation of our readers. It's clearly the only two way internet conversation in this state."
