It used to be that I came to this place and I felt smarter. No longer. This place is getting stupider and taking me with it.
There is a diary on the top of the rec list now that has people outraged. It's title implies that Rahm Emanueland the White House don't care about dissent from the left on the HCR bill. and the with. It quotes this article, which if you actually read, clearly states that Emmanuel is referring to liberal Senators supporting the HCR bill, not "the Left" in general.
I understand some of you viscerally dislike Rahm Emanuel. I don't care much about him one way or the other. I doubt he has many fans except for his wife and kids. But seriously, people need to get a grip. Your outrage pumps are primed so much that you are willing to believe anything negative about him, without the slightest verification of the quoted sources.
That, my friends is stupid, and it is catching on like wildfire around here. Everyone needs to take a deep breath and dial down the outrage detectors, because anger makes you do stupid things.
