This will be short. The shrill on this site has reached such a level of irrationality that a Hillary-bashing diary currently sits at the top of the Rec List despite its sole source being- The Drudge Report.
There are plenty of valid reasons to criticize Hillary Clinton. There are also actually plenty of valid reasons to criticize Barack Obama. But few rational people write diaries criticizing Obama, at Daily Kos. Most of such are written by trolls or borderline trolls, and are given all the respect they deserve. But every possible conflation of logic, every misinterptetation, every quote taken out of context, and every story based on dubious sources is taken at face value, if it trashes Hillary Clinton. If it demonizes Hillary, it must be true.
I remember a time when this community prided itself on being reality-based. The FPers try to keep it that way, but the community as a whole clearly no longer does. The Drudge Report is now the sole source for a top of the Rec List Daily Kos diary. That says it all.
