An incredible host of conservative bloggers, ranging from
Mark Tapscott at The Examiner, who is a member of the Freedom
of Information Act Hall of Fame, to
me and
Brian Faughnan at respective blogs at the Washington Times,
to the directors of
Red State, to
Breitbart's blog, to several at Red
County, to a particularly well-researched one by
Jim Geraghty at The Campaign Spot at NRO, .... and the list
goes on and on and on; I wish I could post every last link... has
stepped forward in solidarity with John McCormack of the Weekly
Standard to demand that New York congressional candidate Dede
Scozzafava withdraw from her race because of her campaign's use
of the police to try to intimidate McCormack. I report this here
at the Spectator not by way of advocacy, but by way of
observation that this is a unique example of conservative
bloggers working in "viral" ways to push a common theme. Any
student of the new media should find this fascinating as a
cultural/media phenomenon.
