Something I have noticed lately in the media when defending themselves.... Columnists, when attacked, often counter-attack the "conservative bloggers" that have been besmirching their name. Here's the thing, though, and this goes for conservatives and liberals.... If one person is blogging about it, there are plenty of others that think it and don't have blogs of their own. So if you share an opinion and see it attacked in blogs, you are a moron if you think it's only those damn bloggers who disagree and everyone else is totally cool with whatever you said. Bloggers are merely the most willing and energetic about sharing their thoughts, but that does not in any way imply that those thoughts are unique to the person writing about it. You can't just assume the opinions of the vast majority of people who are not regular bloggers.
