MyDD is sort of the godfather of progressive blogs. It's founder, Jerome Armstrong, inspired Markos Moulitsas to start DailyKos, the biggest of the big political blogs.

DailyKos diarist Bob Johnson links to a series of anti-Obama posts on MyDD and declares:

Good thing Jerome and company are on our side. I hate to see what they'd write if they were a Republican blog!
Then, a Daily Kos open-thread with the subject header, "Will the MyDD/DailyKos split hurt the online progressives?" receives just under 200 comments so far, with author "doriangz" finding:

Before things get too heated, MyDD diarist "sricki," blogs a post entitled, "This Needs to STOP," citing several "absolutely ridiculous" MyDD attacks against Obama and pleads:
Quit it. It's idiotic, annoying, and embarrassing. I know this wasn't much in the way of a diary, but I really needed to say this. I would thank Clinton and Obama supporters alike if they would rec this so that maybe a few people will read it and stop their freakish behavior.
