JUST POSTED ON TAP ONLINE: NO END TO IDEOLOGY, ROUND 2. Scott Winship's article about the netroots and ideology attracted a flurry of responses. Winship has now stepped up to engage his critics -- in two parts. Over at the Democratic Strategist blog, he takes on the critiques offered by Chris Bowers and Sterling Newberry, and things get a wee bit heated. ("It seems that Newberry needs a guide to rhetoric, which I�m happy to provide here. The belief that his TPMCafe photo is pretentious, for instance, would be an opinion. The major arguments in my essay would be supported factual claims, even if we might disagree about the extent to which they are adequately supported.")
Here at TAP, meanwhile, Winship now offers a (very thorough!) response to critiques made by Ezra, Matt, and Mark Schmitt. Anyone who's interested in this debate should take a look.
