A good post by Glenn Greenwald criticizing the tactic of quoting anonymous blogger comments on left-wing sites (e.g. HuffPost, Kos) as indicative of liberals in general and hence to declarations that all liberals are unhinged, deranged, etc.

The specific claim is in reference to anonymous blog comments that lamented the fact the suicide bomber in Afghanistan didn't get VP Cheney. But compare that to Ann Coulter publicly stating she was sad Tim McVeigh did not blow up the NYTimes building.

Greenwald correctly notes you are just as likely to find vile hatred in anonymous right-wing blogs (although most right-wing blogs smartly do not allow posts). This is why I'm against anonymous comments. Such views are correctly rejected by mainstream left, right, center, up and down.

No doubt Greenwald is totally one-sided in his blog, in his outlook, but he is very good in puncturing many of the other side's myths (especially when it comes to the left-wing media).
