This week I have focused quite a bit on the angry left and their gestapo tactics widely being used throughout the blogosphere attempting to disrupt and attack anything to the right of them any way they can.
The emerging concensus seems to be that this behavior has thrust these activists so far to the left that the party and candidates they support up to this point are dropping like flies as a result, and their present cannibalism of Joe Leiberman will be the test of their true effectiveness.
Do the country a favor and keep it up Kos & Kompany.

DEBORAH ORIN - New York Post Online Edition: Commentary: "Sen. Joe Lieberman's bitter primary battle is the biggest race in the country because it's a naked test of how much clout the MoveOn/Deaniac angry left holds in the Democratic Party.
It's a Democratic civil war. If they can beat Lieberman and make the Iraq war a litmus test, the angry activists hope to become kingmakers with vast clout in picking the 2008 presidential nominee.
Activists like Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, founder of the popular Daily Kos Web site, claim their mix of hot rhetoric and Internet organizing is the path to victory for Democrats.
But they have yet to notch a single win in a primary or general election. Howard Dean crashed and burned in a 2004 Internet-fueled presidential bid.
That's why the stakes are so high. If the activists can't beat Lieberman, their clout shrinks fast.
For centrist Democrats, it's vital that Lieberman win to keep the party from lurching to the left and risking a repeat of George McGovern's 49-state loss to Richard Nixon in 1972.
'This reveals a self-destructive tendency on the left of the Democratic Party, a cultish fervor,' says Will Marshall, who runs a think tank linked to the centrist Democratic Leadership Council. read more
