THE LEFT DEBATES

And the debate is whether or not we should be airing speculation about stolen elections.

Check this post from Atrios. The debate is raging here, in the comments.

There's a strange reluctance among established lefty bloggers to discuss this stuff. They seemed to be worried about the political implications--the "sore loserman" argument. But I don't think that's entirely fair, and I know that it fails to take into account the essential nature of this administration: the use of state power to intimidate, destroy, hide information, and lie, all to keep a firm hold on power. There's not that much debate about the last. So why so much debate about the first?

...I know Atrios doesn't read this site but why is the responsible speculation that his original post inspired buried in his comments? Why should people have to search for this stuff? Isn't this the point of blogs?
