I've been absolutely aghast at how the "progressive" movement has largely aped some of the worst parts of the conservative movement. Namely, they refuse to recognize and criticize their own, or hold a consistent standard of behavior across idealogical grounds.
We may all agree that the focus of the Obamaniacs is much more benign than McCain or Bush - this is true - but their behaviors are such that they lose any moral high ground.
Olberman is a perfect example. He made his mark by telling truth to power about the Bush administration, but then lost any credibility as more than a partisan hack when he overlooks Obama's misdeeds.
