You’re Kidding, Right?

For the love of all that’s good and true! I can’t believe these are issues that are being discussed in the blogosphere. What is wrong…with you people!

We’re fortunate we have people like Abdul Hakim-Shabazz who are trying to focus on the issues of the 7th CD race rather than throwing out wild accusations against people like he was a member of the DCCC.

From Indiana Barrister:

I think I have officially seen it all today. Instead of debating real issues such as Iraq, health care, the slow meltdown of the American economy, the blogosphere is ripe with stories about Republican Jon Elrod’s sexual orientation and Democrat Andre Carson’s religion.

It’s ironic that individuals who want to be treated with the same deference as mainstream media are clearly demonstrating they are as about as far out of the mainstream as possible.

As one of the premiere bloggers in this state I can solve their issues for them right now. Andre Carson is not a member of the Nation of Islam and is not a follower of Louis Farrakhan. Jon Elrod is not gay. He is a single man who is straight and takes the institution of marriage seriously and has a “live and let live” attitude.

Now that I’ve settled that, perhaps we can back to a real conversation. Or if not, leave the race to the grown ups.

Chris Spangle had this follow up to all the craziness.
