Nasty, Unhappy, Liberal Bloggers

Followers of the South Carolina blogosphere might well wonder what is it about liberal bloggers that makes them so angry, vicious and hateful, not content to offer their own perspective, but determined to belittle and offend anyone who might disagree with them. The phenomenon is larger than a local psychopath or two. This rant from the Daily Kos about the Palmetto State may sound familiar:

Warning: Offensive language

I mean really, what the fuck is wrong with the people of South Carolina? You want us to overlook the fact that you started a civil war, you elected this prick to the United States Senate for 47 years, you elected this ass hat Governor, you put this slimy bastard into the U S Senate after that prick, and that you still want to fly this above your state capitol building. Any of these 5 things would force most people of sound thinking to avoid your mostly backward ass state; but for some reason people have been willing to overlook these. Maybe it's because of your golf courses or maybe your very nice beaches. BUT NO MORE! I am telling the state of South Carolina to go to hell until you remove that slimy, two faced, double talkin, lie with a straight face, partisan hack, Lindsey Graham from the United States Senate.

Vulgar as this may be, I think we should be encouraged that South Carolina's ethos may actually be keeping rogereaton and his ilk away. Who knows, it may even encourage similar visitors to go back to Seattle or to whatever rock they crawled out from under.
