"Ron Paul And David All
In politics and in life, people who can't win arguments often tend to get personal, indiscrimately attacking their rivals rather than sticking to the subject at hand. That's what happened this week as Republican bloggers debated the decision by RedState to ban supporters of GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul from the site.
The target in this case: GOP new media consultant David All. The personal attackers: Erick Erickson of RedState; another GOP e-politics expert, Michael Turk of Kung Fu Quip; and blogger-turned-campaign-aide Lance Dutson, who is working to re-elect Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine.
All's cardinal sin was not toeing the GOP line as envisioned by RedState. At his techRepublican blog, All joined Ed Morrissey of Captain's Quarter's in scolding RedState for banning Paul supporters.
"Generally, Republicans need to welcome Ron Paul (and all others willing to wear a Republican banner) to the debate and the discussion," All said. "If Ron Paul doesn't win the nomination, we need him to actively endorse and support the winner so that his supporters will use their energy to defeat Hillary [Clinton]."
