Excellent bit of fact-checking here on the part of Daily Kos. Many folks were intrigued by the possibility of Lakota succession, including myself. That doesn’t make up for us all doing sloppy research and re-posting this stuff without verifying it first.
UPDATE: This is maybe not so great fact-checking going on here. I’ve been getting a flurry of emails indicating that the Daily Kos’ research is pretty one-sided and to some degree bogus. That being said, I still stand by my point of the problem of the “echo-chamber.” I don’t have the time or energy to cover this story as thoroughly as I’d like to, so I’ll refrain from getting too much farther into it, and let the facts work themselves out over time.
