When I see them distort the facts about (5.00 / 2) (#78)

Dems, I now don't really trust their words about Republicans either.  

My surfing habits have become more niche, as I learn which blogs have which specialties, whereas I used to spend more time on Kos and TPM.

Myabe the saddest part is that there are now blogs where I never, repeat never, visit the comments section. Between the nonsense and nastiness it is a waste of time.  Do I really care who was the first to post a comment in a thread? No. Are we still that amazed by technology?

Amen Chorus (5.00 / 2) (#102)

I used to read FDL religiously, and I still go there every once in a while to read what Jane has to say, or emptywheel (not TBogg, since he seems like an Obamabot, to my limited exposure to him).  

But the comments at FDL have become a politically correct echochamber which I have come to avoid in the last couple years.  The last time I read a comment by TeddySF it was because the subject was pretty incredible (about some fundy wanting to deport the gays).  Wondering if I might be sent to the Riviera or to Soweto, I read the post which was so silly it was embarrassing to me as a gay man, and I couldn't resist the urge to comment.  My comment was the 65th or so, and I was the first to even hint that it was hysterical nonsense taken completely out of context.  TeddySF responded by calling me a misogynist and homophobe for using the word "hysteria" (and never responded to the substance of my criticism).  And then he had my response to his response deleted (no, there was no profanity or flaming, since I knew I was surrounded by zombies loyal to TeddySF).

Anyway, it's like that old saying about the Nazis.  First they came for the trolls, and then they came for the "concern trolls"...  And then all that was left was Fitz!  Jane! First! and the amen chorus.

The sad thing about the liberal resurgence I think we've experienced in the last year or so is that it's mostly made up of the stupid sheep who voted for Bush not long ago, and they are incapable of critical thinking or accepting that their side or their man (or woman) has any serious flaws.

BTW, although Digby and Kevin Drum have not "had it with Hillary" they have both voted for Obama and declared their support for him.  And I suspect the same of Atrios.
