Rich Crowther’s posts at the Conservatives for Palin website do one useful thing, anyway: they provide great examples of the practical use of logical fallacy in public discourse.
Conservatives for Palin & civility: Fairly unbalanced

Progressives, civility, & Palin: Anatomy of an apology
A classic example of an apology that is not an apology, however much its author tried to make it into one.
Progressive bloggers on Palin: Civility versus namecalling
Okay, so we don’t like Sarah Palin or her political views. But does that mean it’s good for us or the nation for us to exercise our free speech through namecalling & insults?
Chuffed
I’m pretty darn chuffed that my blog was recognized by Phil Munger of Progressive Alaska for Best Investigative Reporting for 2009 among Alaska progressive blogs.
My story of 2009
Not quite ALL about my 2009, because that would take a year to write. This only took several hours.

Mea culpa: My post about Palin yesterday distorted what she said
