While I don't agree with the personal attacks, I'd like to be responsive to some of the claims made 1). I'm not a liberal. My previous op ed was for the Christian Science Monitor and I defended capitalism against Michael Moore's attacks (for which I was called a conservative hack) 2). The key research was the Benkler study, which said that, on average, liberal blogs have more inclusive policies. If there is research to the contrary, I honestly am interested in hearing it. 3). The libertarian/tea party movement is interesting. However, its only a percentage of the conservative spectrum, whereas the entire spectrum of liberalism seems to be more comfortable with inclusive policies. Also, I'm yet to see a libertarian social media pioneer. Much of the strategy is still taken from liberals like Dean and Obama. And, first movers will have an advantage. 4). Instead of writing blogs attacking me, you could just email me. Lee (or andrew), happy to talk it out over a Beer.
