Knee-Deep in a Sewer Full of Insanity

That's the best way I can describe participating in the Horse's Ass comment threads yesterday - as the hordes of wingnuts tried their best to dig up dirt on Darcy Burner because her bio doesn't include every last detail of her life, and therefore she must be hiding something. Carl Ballard feels the need to do the same with Republican Senate Candidate Mike McGavick:

Finally, does he eat babies? The 8 paragraph bio he wrote didn't mention it one way or the other. If he'd really never eaten a baby, why not mention it in the bio? Is there a history of baby eating? Does he know any baby eaters? Does he eat them raw or at least have the decency to cook the babies he eats? Are you too stupid to figure out that I haven't answered the baby eating question, and instead just put a bunch of silly questions?

I'll give the wingnuts a little credit. It took them less than 24 hours to figure out her maiden name.
