I suppose I'll take traffic no matter where it comes from, but if you're going to link to me from an overtly political blog, whether or not you're liberal or conservative, at least do me the courtesy of putting me in context.
Yesterday I wrote about how the DNC, run by Howard Dean, who is revered for running the first "Internet campaign" attacked John McCain because a blog that they said contained "hate speech" had a John McCain ad on it, served up by Google Adwords. Of course, that site also had AdWords-served ads from Barack Obama and Mark Warner. I quoted a GOP spokesperson on the issue, etc etc.
Matt Lewis at TownHall graciously linked to my post, which I do appreciate, but I'm afraid he overreached called me (when actually this site is run by two people) a "liberal blogger." and said that I was criticizing the DNC.
Actually, the best way to describe my feeling would be "a pox on both your houses."
Both the DNC and RNC screwed up by running ads on the regular AdWords platform, since they can't control where their ads appear. Then, when someone found a McCain ad served up on a controversial anti-immigration blog, the DNC outrage machine freaked out.
I can easily reverse the situation if say, an Obama AdWords ad appeared on that same blog and someone got a screenshot of it.
In other words, both parties are equally stupid here. I'll even quote myself from yesterday:
On the other hand, I'm seriously disinclined to vote for any candidate that can't hire people smart enough to understand how modern internet advertising works, and even angrier at people who blame campaigns when network-based ads run on subscribing sites, and they haven't been pro-active in looking at who the ads get served to.
Let's clarify, shall we? I also specifically state that I'm a registered Independent. While we've been supportive of one Dem candidate here, if the GOP were to field a candidate that we felt has good sense policies, neither of us would have a problem with them, either.
What I have a problem with is poorly executed campaigns and party operations that set themselves up for this kind of weapons-grade fail. Both of you want to run the country and you can't even hire or retain people that can realize what would happen with AdWords, despite the fact that both Google and Yahoo! have special political advertising divisions that presumably would take care to make sure your message reaches your targets, and doesn't reach those who wouldn't want to see it.
If Mel Martinez were criticizing Barack Obama for the same thing, I'd be just as annoyed.
It's not the politics, it's the lack of a clue about how an ad platform they're shelling out big bucks for works.
Sorry if you were looking for a "liberal" blog. You might agree with us sometimes, but don't look for a party line that we toe. It's not the party, it's the technology.
