Fierce, Bullying, Intolerance Overtakes Left-wing of Blogosphere

Today, we are recommending an article by Joe Klein, author of Primary Colors. He notes that a terrible lack of civility has begun to take place on left-wing blogs. Because most would classify Klein with the left, the comments are remarkable. Says Klein:

"[T]he smart stuff is being drowned out by a fierce, bullying, often witless tone of intolerance that has overtaken the left-wing sector of the blogosphere. Anyone who doesn't move in lockstep with the most extreme voices is savaged and ridiculed—especially people like me who often agree with the liberal position but sometimes disagree and are therefore considered traitorously unreliable."
