Let's repost tptacek's comments, to see how partisan they are:
>"Expect to see lots of superficial genuflection from Republicans towards the Swartz case; the GOP is in a constant low-grade conflict with the Democratic DoJ."
Any show of support of the GOP for Aaron Swartz is "superficial genuflection" driven by partisan conflict. Doubtless, Democratic support would be considered genuine.
>"Here, let me put it this way: what do you honestly think Aaron Swartz would think about this clown using his name to score political points?"
A Senator with a history of support for Open Access is a "clown" that is so odious that Aaron would be upset to have his support.
This is partisanship at its worst. tptacek is dehumanizing Republicans in a way that kills rational thought. A Republican can't even do something tptacek agrees with without receiving his scorn.
Is that reasonable to you?
