(90,645 posts)....that is way off base. This has nothing to do with the great big boogyman of triangulation.
Back in the day at DU there was some really good sourcing to be had at DU. Right Wing Watch was and is a good source, as is Southern Poverty Law Center. People for the American Way. Another site dedicated to critical information just about the religious right, people like Rushdoony, etc. All of them created by people on our side.
All of these groups and their websites are good for info, analysis, and reference to primary sources, with plenty of links to whatever hate group you want to research personally. The thing is, you know this already. There's no need to link DU directly to Stormfront when you can refer to SPLC or the like and benefit from their research, and, as I said, follow it from there if you want to.
Linking directly to certain things is a hazard to the site and to the home researcher -- I will never forget the time some impetuous (or malicious) person on this site started an OP about the horrors of child pornography, complete with link to a child porn site just to make sure we got the point. Without warning the reader that's what it was. You think I really want the cookies from either that or hate sites on my computer?
"Triangulation" for pete's sake.
