I read thehill.com pretty regularly, and respect it as a source of information.
That said, why would the people running this web site allow a commenter using the name “Ace DeLighted” to use its article on Nancy Pelosi’s 2007 trip to Syria as a venue for mass-posting the most vile anti-Semitic vomit he/she/it can come up with over and over again?
Click here to read the article, and then go to the comments. You’ll see what I mean.
I do not believe in censorship. I have never censored any commenter here for saying anything at all, including material I found personally offensive. But if someone started using this site to post a tidal wave of hate-comments, having nothing to do with the blog content itself, I would make an exception.
It’s way past time for thehill.com to do the same.
