Beware the Bloggers’ Bile

I posted something a politician said on Swampland, the political blog at Time.com, along with my opinion about presidential politics.
The next day, I was blasted by a number of left-wing bloggers: Klein screwed up! On Eschaton, a blog that specializes in media bashing, I was given the coveted “Wanker of the Day” award. I got hammered by bloggers and Swampland commenters for “stalking” a politician into an apology and for being a “water boy for the right wing” and many other riffs unfit to print.
