Acting in very good faith, to try and help cultivate some alternative viewpoints in Blogistan, Brian Linse has set up a nice lefty blogroll. Unsurpsingly, some on the list have reacted as if they'd been thrown into a pit of vipers, or forced to go out on a date with Barbra Streisand, or something...
Without naming names, I'm quite amused at the extent of posts by "lefties" in Blogistan that go something like this. "I'm not sure if I'm really liberal, I support free trade..." Or, "I'm not anti-war, so maybe I'm not a liberal..." Or "I don't think the U.S. Govermnment should nationalize the entire economy instantly, so maybe I'm not a liberal..." Or, my favorite, "Those other lefties are just icky!"
