Koskidz pushing back against the extremists…
Obama is the best president of my lifetime.

I’m not doing this sh***!!!
Both near the top of the Rec List and are worthwhile reads for those who want to understand the lefty mindset. Although I think they’re still missing the point a bit and still dancing around the real issue of OWS and the return of the radical anti-war lefty loons, at least they recognize there is a problem. This is a conversation the wingnuts should have had about the Tea Party extremists but too few people had the courage to speak up. Instead of blindly following the idiots over the cliff at least some lefties are fighting back.

I’m seeing a LOT of fighting back from smart lefties on Twitter.

This is one area where the left/Democrats are MUCH healthier than right wingers; people are willing to call bullshit on their own side when necessary.

The right is locked into groupthink on every single issue.

Of course, this could also be seen as a weakness of the left, but in the long run I have to believe healthy debate is better than lemming lockstep.
