By unambiguously taking this side of a highly partisan political issue, I fear TBL has lost a lot of credibility in the eyes of many of the people he needs to fix the actual problems that have befallen the web.
I don't read anything in the article which I would consider political, or taking a "side" other than admitting the issues mentioned exist. Nowhere is any specific political party or ideology mentioned or blamed.
I don't know why TBL would lose credibility, or what he would lose credibility in, specifically.
