Dauo: A Seminal Moment in Blogland...History will look kindly on them.

Great stuff!

A Seminal Moment in Blogland

Lately, there's been a burst of energy in the progressive blog world, with dozens of great posts from high profile - and high traffic - bloggers on Daily Kos, Eschaton, HuffPo, C&L, FDL, MyDD, TPM, and several others. Among those blog entries are two seminal posts, one by Digby, the other by Glenn Greenwald.

Digby's post, entitled "Dispatches From The Fever Swamp," rightfully claims a crucial achievement by the progressive netroots:

Snip...

Now to Glenn Greenwald, who has written a definitive piece on the "Cult of Bush". I've always viewed intra-blog battles as a proxy for the larger debate, and Greenwald verbally eviscerates the legions of Bush apologists masquerading as conservative bloggers:

Snip...

The attempt to marginalize progressive bloggers as part of an angry, unwashed, irrational mob is in full swing, but truth-telling has a self-sustaining power. Bloggers will continue to cut through the fabricated storylines, providing clarity, sanity, honesty, and an abiding loyalty to the Constitution and to the principles our country is founded upon.

History will look kindly on them.
