Does ABC News Condone Hate Speech?

by Kagro X

ABC News' Terry Moran enters the Edwards blogger fray, under this oh-so-coy headline:

Does John Edwards Condone Hate Speech?

How does Moran sum up the issue?

Questions: What, if anything, does it tell us about Edwards that he's joined up with this blogger? Is Edwards' association with a person who has written these things a legitimate issue for voters, as they wonder--among other things--whom he might appoint to high office if he's elected? If a Republican candidate teamed up with a right-wing blogger who spewed this kind of venom, how would people react?

One commenter to Moran's thread said perhaps all that needed saying:

IF????

Are you serious?

No surprise here, though. Terry Moran's brother, Rick, writes -- perhaps unsurprisingly -- pretty much the same stuff at his blog, RightWingNuthouse. That'll explain the blindness in the Terry's right eye.

If ABC News hasn't been able to discern for itself that the right blogosphere provides more than its share of controversial figures, and that those controversial figures are right now in the employ of leading GOP presidential candidates, as Glenn Greenwald demonstrates with about five seconds worth of Googling, then the blindness must be willful.

Does ABC News condone hate speech?
