Other bloggers have adequately expressed their contempt for Andy Hammond and his "Operation Chaos," so I'll not bother to waste much of your time doing so here.

Instead, I'm wondering why Hammond's little project has been prominently featured in Montana's newspapers. Now I do realize that journalists think that publishing these kinds of reports actually does more good than harm. That is, expose the creature to the light, and he'll wither and crawl back into his hole. But do you really think a marginalized Limbaughian fanboy's anti-social rant is really news?

Hey, we're all on pins and needles waiting for Lee Newspaper's coverage of Andy's next "project":

Talk show host Rush Limbaugh is sparking controversy again after he made comments calling for riots in Denver during the Democratic National Convention this summer.

He said the riots would ensure a Democrat is not elected as president, and his listeners have a responsibility to make sure it happens.

"Riots in Denver, the Democrat Convention would see to it that we don't elect Democrats," Limbaugh said during Wednesday's radio broadcast. He then went on to say that's the best thing that could happen to the country.

"Operation Bricks and Bullets"! Maybe your reports will get a few folks down to Denver with pipe bombs in their suitcases!

I am genuinely curious about the ethics of airing marginalized views like Hammonds. IMHO, the column space could have been dedicated to worthier issues...
