Can we all agree that anything from Drudge is lower than household trash?
Regarding the sexual affair allegations against John Kerry, It is obvious that Bush co. used Drudge to sling dirt at the Kerry campaign. Which makes Drudge a political tool for the right wing. Can we stop posting the drivel that appears on his boring and often slanted site on DU?

Drudge is nothing but a tool for the right wing and has proven himself over and over to be just that. So please stop posting his idiotic drivel on such a dignified site as DU. We should not stoop ourselves to the GOP level of politics, the politics of personal destruction, lies and deceit.

Furthermore, Why give Drudge any money by giving his stupid site any click thrus? Do we really want to support this kind of dirty so called "Journalism"?

1. Are we slinging drivel? Are we boring? Are we a "tool" for the left?
My point is, just because it comes from Drudge doesnt necessarily make it incorrect or "planted" by the rw. I tend to think Drudge, like all other media types, is motivated by dollars. If slamming the right was more profitable, we would welcome him as a hero.

2. The fact that the sexual affair allegations came from Drudge,
Makes him no longer(If ever)a reliable source of information. Drudge is a tool for the VRWC. He has proven himself to be just that. If he was really a tool for info, he would have waited to corroborate the story before posting it, but he did not. he acted as a tool for the White House, and has discredited himself.
