So do you think the people contributing to this site generally believe the things they write? Maybe some of them are genuine extremists and others are humorists/trolls (of moderate-to-liberal origin). Maybe even they don't know who's who.
As far as I can tell, the site started out in good faith (if a little crankily) and was an accurate representation of what its authors were wanting.
Then they, er, got famous. And got hit hard, by a thousand enthusiastic vandals and parodists and real cranks... and the entire thing went completely incomprehensible.

I'm disappointed to find out it started out as one thing, then morphed into something incredibly amusing. I really did think it was one of the only good liberal joke sites on the web--both sides in American politics take themselves too seriously and really think they are unique. Well, one less fun site for me, I suppose. KP
