A classy move by a Seattle monthly
Used to live in Seattle and really liked The Stranger -- it's sort of an alt. monthly with an intelligent snarky attitude that covers interesting music and cultural events. A bit liberal for my tastes but hey, I support freedom of speech and they can say whoever they want.
Today, they crossed a very big line. Hat tip to Seattle blogger

Message to The Stranger. Two can play this game Asshole!!
Drudge Report just linked your filth journalism all over the world.
First off, you're a bunch of punk mother fuckers. Secondly, you should ask yourself whether or not you would want some rag journal publishing your addresses like that. I assume you wouldn't, but its too late for that now.
Below are the home addresses and some phone numbers of The Stranger staff members.
What Brendan Kiley at The Stranger had done was to drive around, take photos of houses with Republican signs and publish these photos
along with the address of the house
The Stranger changed the above link to re-direct to The Drudge Report and it has redacted the addresses on its article. Fast work morons...
The new article is here:
