And contrary to what most comments here are saying, I'm sure he has had his share of threatening/nasty emails. Funny how some here so called liberals are so ready to judge and show intolerance (definite traits of conservatives.)<BR/><BR/>If I remember right Blue Gal did some diary roundups or something or other over there. I read Kos daily and while I may pick and choose among the subjects that I find interesting, I do rely on the information being disseminated there. Between him, FDL and HuffPost, I feel we liberals have a fighting chance. Used to include Blue Gal and her commenter's in that list.

I grew up in a house with a sister who was threatened by a former boyfriend. That house was torched and burned to the ground. My sister was home at the time and managed to get out because a barking dog woke her up from a nap.<BR/><BR/>That's a true story.<BR/><BR/>Whenever I hear some numbskull all-too-easily dismissing and brushing off threats made against other people, I get a very sickly stench in my nostrils.

However, as a liberal blogger myself, my legs would probably be broken for speaking out against the chosen one.
