The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
~Nietzsche
Mob mentality has taken over on Daily Kos. Dissenting voices briefly hit the rec list, followed by three journals that contrast the dissenting opinions that is favored by the mob, followed by a crappy snark diary or two. Thrown in between that pattern, we have opinion diaries by popular bloggers, pictures of dogs and cats, and single paragraph BREAKING NEWS OMFG!!!! diaries that just barely beat CNN to the punch - and sometime they don't even do that. Elementary school-like disposition is ruling the play ground.
I don't necessarily agree with any of the dissenting diaries... I just recognize the pattern of mob mentality. It's getting old. I just don't have time or patience to sort through the crap to find the real news.
