So far...the right-wing seems to be ignoring Scott Prouty.

Even the Freepers seem to be ignoring him.

I have my doubts that'll last, however.

I give Prouty less than one day before right-wingers start posting libel and slander about him, and sending him death threats.

Attacking him just gives the 47% comments more press and they want the story to go away.

real or made up. Wait and see, someone will pop up on a blog and claim he dated the Geico pig or something equally as ridiculous.

Trying to do the extraction too quickly can lead to injury.

Maybe they have learned that railing against this kind of thing only keeps the story on the front page.

Prouty struck me as honest and apolitical, the right has no idea how to respond to that, they don't understand it. I think their trying to dig up dirt on him and when that fails they'll do their usual 'make up what we want everyone to believe' routine. He also did the right thing by staying out of it and making it all about Mitt, can't accuse him of being a media hound. Three cheers for Prouty!

15. He looks too white-bread conservative, which is a danger to the liberal stereotype they've created.

It's a huge danger, actually.
