I'm not sure what my completely unrelated block has to do with anything. Generally speaking, it seems to be okay; however, I have two problems with this proposed version (one of which is a legacy of the existing version). First of all, it removes significant parts from some of the quotes (Krugman talking about Armey, Maddow specifically stating "astroturfing", for example). Secondly, I have no idea what the last paragraph has to do with this section. It seems completely unrelated and added as an afterthought.
