I really don't get what the problem the left has with Drudge.  Nearly all his links are to legitimate news stories & sources.  It's not like he's making things up, like our leftist friends *Cough..Bush AWOL cough* do

Here's the deal. Yes they are only links but if not for Drudge many of these news stories would be ignored but Drudge brings unwelcome attention. For example, where would you find a news article about a typical lie Obama makes up about Health Care legislation? You won't find it at the NY Times, Boston Globe or LA Times but these stories are out there and so people like you and me go to Drudge to easily find them rather than search all over the place. Also, Drudge makes it harder for Obama, Reid & Pelosi to lie to Congress. And of course your Senator and Congressman know that millions are going to Drudge and getting educated and naturally an educated electorate is much harder to dupe and control over brain-dead morons like the kids they are putting through our public schools system for huge amounts of wasted dollars. So in a nutshell Drudge screws it up for liberals and I would guess if not for Drudge, Rush, Beck, Savage, and other CONSERVATIVES health care legislation and illegal immigration legislation would already be in place. I don't think hate is strong enough word to describe liberal hate for Drudge, Rush, Beck, Savage, and other CONSERVATIVES!

Oh I completely agree.  Again, the bias in the MSM is largely what they don't report.  So, in that vein, one could see the problem some leftists would have.  But my point is how they criticize Drudge, simply for being, as if he is making things up.  He's not, as we all can read, and check his links.  And you're right, it's the stuff, the left, would prefer not be read, thus the demonization efforts.  My question was perhaps a tad sarcastic

demonizing their opponent is right out of the playbook --  I think it's on page 2 so it's pretty high up there in the top 10 things to do to get the agenda passed the noses of the masses.

The Times argues that lawyers who "take on controversial cases" should not be "demonized with impunity." No one can reasonably disagree. But the Times is guilty of rank hypocrisy, for it has a record of engaging in just such demonization. In an editorial last May, the paper endorsed a politically motivated witch hunt against three former Bush administration lawyers who wrote memos setting forth limits on the interrogation of terrorists -- limits that, in the Times's opinion, were insufficiently gentle:

Their acts were a grotesque abrogation of duty and breach of faith: as government officials sworn to protect the Constitution; as lawyers bound to render competent and honest legal opinions; and as citizens who played a major role in events that disgraced this country.

Not only did the Times demonize John Yoo, Jay Bybee and Steven Bradbury; it called for their disbarment and for Bybee's impeachment (he is now a judge on the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals). And these lawyers were employed to defend America, not its enemies.
