14. If you remember Rathergate

a lot of gullible people got burned by it, setting back (destroying, really) the task of proving Bush's AWOL service. And right here on DU, a lot of people too quick to leap at conspiracy theories bought into Bev Harris' claims of "knowing too much". They lost their hard-earned dough subsidizing that con-artist, and simultaneously causing some damage to the voting reform movement. It's for those reasons I prefer that criticisms of Bush and the GOP be grounded in solid reporting.

With that out of the way...
