I’m not sure if the mods could control it if they wanted to. In the Bush years they had to step in and ban 9-11 truth diaries and even Ron Paul diaries became so popular they had to be banned. But the progressive instinct to love people like Bradley Manning and Snowden has a very strong attraction. Some just can’t resist.
The difference in Dem and TPGOP loon-management is simple: we know our loons are loons, they think theirs are prophets. A few koskids aren’t going to make a lot of difference, and their enthusiasm is sort of touching.
Black Bloc ninja anarchists are a different story—they wreck every cause they touch.
