    That's fascinating to me. There is, I agree, a creepiness to the whole approach that is quite unsettling. I don't pretend to understand it but agree that, At the fringes, both sides have their self-righteous crazies who Must Not Be Questioned. Which always makes me chuckle whenever a wingnut refers to an Obama or Kos as a radical far-left fringe liberal. Hardly. Not even close. They're Federalist Society material in comparison.

    You know, whenever I have the misfortune of seeing the likes of Bill O'Reilly or Hannity, both of whom rail on about DailyKos as the epitome of the far left radicals among us, I laugh. And just for the reason you state. There is a radical leftist world out there that is far less permeable than the likes of these will ever know.
