Look, as much as I hate to say it, Joe Klein has a point. Of course he communicates it badly, because, well, that's how Joey talks, and yes, it seems he internalizes their hate against himself (ironically, linking himself with the right-wing, those he claims to disagree with) but we have finally got to admit that certain elements of the Left wing of the blogosphere are rude and belligerent.
I mean just read the comments under Mudcat's last post on Swampland. From what was a rather innocuous and saccharine essay came dozens of ugly, rude, and counterproductive comments.
Look I'm not saying that sarcasm and a bit of bile doesn't have its place, but I thought the progressive left was supposed to be the good guys--the Jedi to the right's Sith. We should do a bit better than Ann Coulter rhetoric, especially against our own.
