Digby: The New Anger

A reader tipped me to this fascinating review by Stanley Kurtz of a book called "A Bee in the Mouth: Anger in America Today." It's fascinating because it once again illustrates the degree to which conservatives have absolutely no self-awareness.

You see, this "New Anger" is a cultural phenomenon pretty much confined to the left. Indeed, it was invented on the left (during the 60's, naturally.) And left wing bloggers are especially angry. Glen Reynolds is characterized as being merely "sardonic" --- Atrios is something else, Kutz doesn't say what, apparently wanting to spare our innocent eyes from the beating the author gives him.
