You may not realize the full effect of the blogosphere on current events, but I assure you it is not insignificant (just ask Dan Rather or John Kerry). One of the biggest far-left blogs is the Daily Kos (which I refuse to link to here), and it receives literally hundreds of thousands of visitors per day. When the Daily Kos posts something, it gets noticed. The founder claims of controlling the Democrat party leadership, and he's got a decent argument: all the major Democratic presidential candidates attended the YearlyKos convention, even though they skipped the Democratic Leadership Council convention, a much more moderate organization that typically hosts the Democrat presidential candidates.
That makes the following story all the more disturbing: a right-wing conservative blog, LittleGreenFootballs, posts about the Daily Kos openly advocating Marxist theory despite the fact that over 100 million people have lost their lives as a result of it.
I'm sure I don't have to tell you that if Marxist thought comes back into the mainstream of the Democrat party, it will cause an incredible amount of damage. Hopefully true mainstream Democrats are much more sane than to allow that.
There's my two cents.
