I think you've nailed it.

That's pretty much my take on what's been happening over at kos lately: if you're perceived as an embarrassment by expressing views or linking to sites that fall outside of a limited range of whatever is considered "politically correct" then you will be silenced. I'm not saying this to bag on dailykos, as that blogging community is really merely a microcosm of the state of political discourse in America. All the same it's pretty damned tiring.

Visit Notes From Underground: red state rebel scum since 2003.

What I find foreign is that someone's ideas reflect on me positively or negatively. That to me is very telling. Do I somehow benefit if I make a stupid comment in an otherwise smart thread?  No, there's no spillover in either direction.

That's probably my favorite thing about the South.  In the midwest, we tend to hide our eccentric relatives.  In the South, they get the best seat at the dinner table. That's healthy and freeing, a family is as sick as its secrets.

As Eleanor Roosevelt said, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." That goes for embarrassment as well.

Unlike Northerners, Southerners are proud of their crazy people. We don't keep them cooped up in the attic, we sit them right up front in the parlor for everyone to see. It's never a question of 'Are there crazy people in your family?' but instead, 'Which side of the family are your crazy relatives on?'
--Julia Sugarbaker, Designing Women

It's also worth noting that Ms. Sugarbaker was immediately asked which side of the family her crazy relatives were on, and she replied, "Both sides."
