And Judge Posner is a highly regarded CONSERVATIVE jurist, though one who seems to have lost patience with the current extremism coming from both directions. Comment writers who try to warp a news article to fit their personal agenda by ignoring, misquoting or embellishing its contents are a plague, all right. But it's an equal opportunity plague that strikes conservative sites as hard or harder than liberal. All depends on your perspective, I suppose, but judging websites by their commenters would quickly stop me from reading any sites at all. I'd rather judge them by the articles themselves, and as you say, this was a good one.
