People weren't as online back then yet, but those libs that were, did. While everything was going on with Bush and Iraq, he also had a lot of the evangelical political activity that resulted in the new atheists as backlash.

Yeah, DailyKos is the one that really pops out in my mind. And it's not even like they were wrong... They just stopped giving a shit about a lot of stuff when Obama took over.
