Political discourse and commentary have reached rock bottom.
In fact recent town halls indicate that the new reality in political give and take has been hijacked by anarchy. That's right.
The universal certainty that there is no difference between a fact and a fallacy, has been turned on its head.
"Your Voices" blog is no more. The Star Tribune's D. J. Leary has left the building or at least his unmediated space in cyber land.
In answer to David Brauer's post on MinnPost's Daily Glean, yes, other bloggers will set a standard and abide by it and then there are those who will mislead, make up stories, and treat reality as if it was irrelevant.
We believe the steady digression of political discourse in 2009 is a harbinger of what the 2010 Election will be like: based on the kind of zealousness and fervor that eliminates facts and replaces them with accusation and innuendo...to achieve its end.
