The final exchange between Jon Chait and his netroots critics has been posted (see also Chait’s article and part I and II).
Much of the carping by his netroots critics is tedious and/or nonsensical — particularly the posturing by Matt Stoller (with Chris Bowers), who was last seen claiming that conservatives “hate democracy.” However, Chait’s reply (which cites one of my posts) is well worth your time.
