Patrick Appel responds to my post yesterday about Andrew Sullivan’s weird obsession with the ludicrous Trig Palin conspiracy theory, by taking a slap at LGF: Hashing It Out.

The tolerance of dissent is among my favorite aspects of the Dish. I often select Dissents Of The Day for Andrew to keep him honest, and I make sure he links to bloggers who challenge him. LGF and Michelle Malkin are gleeful because I called Andrew out over the Palin baby rumors, but I can’t imagine that either blog would ever allow this type of open debate.

Appel clearly has no idea what happens at LGF, where we have more than 5,000 comments a day debating every topic under the sun from every viewpoint. The key word in his response is “imagine,” because he apparently has an imaginary LGF in mind.

But “debating” a loony conspiracy theory? Hey, the Daily Dish has lots of that!
