The 'angry' bloggers, the so-called Bush-haters, have played a pivotal and (dare I say) historic role during the Bush presidency. They've fought tooth and nail to protect the Constitution from an unprecedented power grab and they've stepped in and spoken the truth while so many in the media and the political establishment have abandoned any semblance of integrity and rolled over for this White House.
Let me explain. In recent months, several prominent media and political figures have had run-ins with left-leaning bloggers (examples here, here, here, here, and here). Their reactions have been eerily similar. Greg Sargent describes it accurately: "In recent weeks, one member after another of the D.C. media establishment has gone out of his way to depict bloggers as hysterical, angry and destructive. To hear them tell it, bloggers sitting at their computers are akin to squalling brats in high-chairs chucking baby food at their sober, serious elders -- i.e., major figures at the established news organizations."
Goldy has a different view. Roger Fulton asks: "We can all recognize a CRAP (Coordinated Rovian Attack Plan) by now, right?"
