1. Huffington Post isn't a friend of mine, hasn't been for a long time.
Not selective with their contributors and people assume they're a liberal blog - they're not.

3. I was looking for their take on the earthquake and I saw his lead on the front page
I must have turned red because he is OUR enemy.

5. I'm not surprised he's there.
Republicans are on a mission to present themselves as populists; as ordinary, middle-class loving people. There are infiltrating everywhere and their motives are not what they seem.

Scarborough is definitely our enemy; Harold Ford is too (thought I'd throw that in there).

9. I'm okay with you boycotting them. I do, however, read NYT articles and WaPo some even though they
have some conservatives writing for them. But, everyone can decide for themselves.

10. I no longer read or link to the WAPO, they are scum
the NYT has only a very few whom I will read (Frank Rick, Maureen Dowd, Paul Krugman).

12. HuffPo is javascript Hell
It's hard to view even the simplest of articles sometimes because of the autorunning graphics, self-refreshing pages and pic-heavy content.

And it's fast becoming the TMZ of progressive sites. WTF do I care about how Gwynneth Paltrow's latest "enema cleanse" makes her look so damn good?

11. Don't have a problem with him being a contributor but
have a problem with the way they censor any responses to his columns.
