RedState corrects the record

I Think CNN.com Badly Mischaracterizes This Site | RedState:
Here is where the context is important and why I think CNN.com badly mischaracterizes this site.
The first quote had absolutely nothing to do with the reelection of Barack Obama. It came from this post and a criticism of RedState from within the center-right coalition that RedState was complicit in the loss for being a conservative activist site instead of just championing Republicans. The quote was a defense of RedState’s core mission to help get conservatives elected.

It had nothing to do with anger or denial about the President getting re-elected and everything to do with making no apologies for what we, as a site do, in our willingness to primary Republicans. Last I checked, Barack Obama did not run in a Republican Primary and could not in the context of that post even be in anyway implicated by that post.

The second quote came from this post. It, again, has everything to do with an analysis internally of the Presidential election within the context of the Republican Party.
