The Democrats have a code, and John Edwards (and the blog left) has broken it. Here’s Huffington Post blogger Chaz Proulx on Edwards/bloggers and their comments about Hillary’s planted questions. An excerpt:

Retail campaigning is nuts. That’s why it’s so much fun, and that’s why you won’t see a top tier candidate capitalize on opponents’ staffers’ mistakes very often in a primary. There is an unwritten code for good reason –it can happen to anybody. Blowing an isolated incident out of proportion is disingenuous by default.
John Edwards has not only ignored the code. In his efforts to sully the character of Hillary Clinton, he has stooped to deception. It’s working. Hundreds of bloggers nationwide are amplifying this right now. From Daily Kos to Blue New Hampshire you can see the same cut and paste thread. And thousands of Hillary-bashing Democrats are using language that should be reserved for the likes of Karl Rove, Grover Norquist, Tom Delay, Dick Cheney and George Bush.

We need Hillary on that wall. We want Hillary on that wall…
