I actually agree with him. Taxed and I were just talking about this yesterday, how Drudge may inadvertently be feeding this psychosis in our Nation.
Look at all the media hype stories about race relations, or the lesbian yogurt BS, a story most would never have heard about, but his mention of it, just helps their cause in making the conversation front and center, and by process desensitizes Americans to the issue.

So Drudge, can you focus more on the Dim party failures, deceptions and outright lies instead of tabloid bull shit?

Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger this week blamed misinformation from sites like ObamaTrade.com and other sites like Drudge Report that pass along those links for distorting information about trade legislation, including bills on trade promotion authority, trade adjustment assistance and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the massive trade deal that has yet to be finalized.

"If you look at Drudge, if you look at Obamatrade[.com], people are saying, you know, 'Paul Ryan has said it's in secret and you've got to pass it to find out what's in it.' Well that's not true," Kinzinger told WROK-AM on Wednesday. "What he was saying is, we have to pass TPA so that TPP even exists and so that we have an opportunity to read it and vote on it."

There is "a lot of misinformation" online and elsewhere, he added, and its sources can be deceiving. "Nothing on what we voted on was a tax increase, or a secret deal, or an immigration issue. It is a very basic thing," he said.

"In fact, a lot of where this misinformation has come from, it's actually amazing. I saw Paul Ryan on 'Fox and Friends,' and even the anchors of 'Fox and Friends' did not really know the difference between TPA, TPP, TAA," Kinzinger remarked.

I haven't been to Drudge's site for a long time. Mostly what he does is collect links to other stories. There is not much original content there.

If Drudge posts anything worthwhile I'll usually hear about it on Rush, Beck, or Levin, and I'll just go to the source.

I agree that TPA, TPP and TAA have all been very confusing to the voters.  The acronyms leads to more confusion because they are so similar..... causing people to confuse the content.

It actually makes me wonder if the intent of all this is actually to confuse the voters!!!

It is like a shell game.  TPA, TPP, and TAA are being scrambled around in the dialogue so as confuse people!

What the hell is lesbian yogurt? I seriously only knew that yogurt is good for pro-biotic digestive health. I didn't know it has a choice of sexuality too.
One of every five Americans you meet has a mental illness of some sort. Many, many, of our veteran's suffer from mental illness like PTSD now also. Help if ya can. :) http://www.projectsemicolon.org/share-your-story.html
And no you won't find my "story" there. They don't allow science fiction. :)

It's the cure for their sort of yeast infections. It's a girl thing.

You mean you can't hear them laughing at us for the three-card monte swindle they just pulled, distracting us from Lerner and Hillary's various campaign issues, or Obama and Kerry's complete acts of diplomatic and military incompetence?

Stoke the fires with an INSTANT, orchestrated assault on the Confederate flag, followed by SCOTUScare and Pervert Wedlock. Look! Bright! SHINY!... And then bam, you got to pass it to know what's in it. You will eat der black capsule and you will LIKE it, ja?....

The gangsters win again.

Yeah, that.  Drudge is just a one page stop listing headlines from around the web.  At least I can load his website without going through a myriad of ads first.

As to this TPP stuff, how are we supposed to know, or how is congress supposed to know what's in it if it's such a big secret?  I heard Cruz comment on the immigration part, because that's what he read, which had been leaked by Wikileaks. 

As to the subject of this article, the Illinois Rep, Heritage gives him a 42% conservative rating.  Whether that's important or not on this issue, it's certainly nothing for me to judge, as I know nothing about him or the TPP.
The danger to America is not Barack Obama but the citizens capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.

From your few posts I can see you have an extremely limited vocabulary.  Your posts would carry more weight if you learned more of the English language...... especially adjectives that make you more articulate and interesting.

Foulmouthed halfwits don't last long here. They get help in leaving, since none refuse to change.

Agreed. Yes, he has made a few mistakes (principally in the doom-'n'-gloom category) and yet he remains the single most brilliant headline writer I have ever seen. Juxtaposition of stories is second to none (doing his editorializing by implication). But he's only the guidepost on a day's newsgathering.

"Misinformation" claims from the Obama cadre is neither surprising or believable, given the shameless coverups underway over Lerner and Hillary Clinton.

Drudge does link to Conservative websites, but he also links to all the lefty one's too, so I don't get why they are upset.

No matter where you are on American politics, I sincerely believe he offers the best general links to the widest possible array of news sources. His site receives more than one million views each day, and THAT is what scares liberal snivelers. He's not under their control. He's too big to suppress.

Drudge isn't the only one in this news-aggregating thing. Nor is he as plainly conservative as these two....

This one focuses on northwestern states Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. (You folks in Oregon better up your insurance with all the potheads out on the roads.)

...and then there's Doug Ross doin' his thang at BadBlue....

If this dolt Kinzinger wants to talk about misinformation, then why is someone with a paltry 43% conservative rating still calling himself a Republican and is not honest enough to change parties?
