I'm not going to bother linking to Robert Scoble's web site. I don't want to drive one more person to that site than I have to. His quote below is the reason I have plonked him from my blog list:

no, you're here for Robert Scoble's views. And, those views are mostly about tech, but I do have political views and will occasionally let you know them.

And therein lies the problem. If you want to build an audience based on tech entries, and then start blogging about politics (aka poliblogging) or other sensitive issues (e.g. religion, lifestyle, etc.), then you are behaving in a very irresponsible manner. I have plonked a couple of other blogs for poliblogging in the past, and interestingly enough, I have plonked both those with whom I've agreed and disagreed. When I fire up FeedDemon to take a look at the latest tech news, I don't want to be greeted with politics. IMO, Scoble is no better than the common low-life spammers that inundate my inbox with topics I could care less about. I think the fame has gone to Scoble's head and he thinks he can do whatever he wants. Well, he can. Just don't expect us to follow along. Perhaps a nice campaign is in order to post feedback to people who abuse their blog.

Don't get me wrong, an occasional post about important events in your life is fine. After all, we are not robots. However, to take up one political crusade after another is out of bounds.
