Yeah, we liberal bloggers and netroots and Dean people were considered loony because we didn't like Bush, we thought the war was a bad idea, we were opposed to all the financial deregulation, didn't want to privatize social security.... are we loony because we were right or because we were right about these things before the "normal" people were. I don't hold it against anyone for not realizing these things until later, but I think its really out of touch (in a typical media pundit way) to act like we were still "loony" all along.

And I watched the scream in person, at the party where he gave it. He had a hoarse voice that night to begin with, and the microphones amplified the scream beyond what it sounded like in real life while suppressing the prevalent crowd noise. So the scream sounded different in real life to Dean and others there, and the media knew it, but they replayed the scream a billion times anyway until he was destroyed as a candidate. The "liberal media" strikes again. (snark)
