Katharine Q. Seelye of the NY Times is at Netroots Nation and she reports that members of the netroots are swearing off their “use of profanity” in the blogosphere… or at least some say they “have scaled back” on it.
Digby Parton, who writes on Hullabaloo.com, said she initially thought of her blog as an ephemeral [...]

If we could stop eating our own we might have a chance…
Newsflash to the netroots and the media (which seems perpetually confused on this issue): The netroots are not the base of the Democratic Party.
Overwhelmingly white, male and highly educated, they’re a loud anomaly in a party that’s wholly dependent on the votes of African [...]

Just about everyone seemed to the think the “seal” was a bad idea, from staunch Obama supporters in the blogopshere, to the media, it was mocked and ridiculed.

I’m with Paul Krugman, Greg, dday, and Atrios – Obama’s cave in on FISA is “a downer.” It’s not a good sign for things to come from an Obama administration, quite frankly and anyone making excuses for him doing this, shouldn’t be. Thankfully most liberal bloggers are calling it as they see it:
