We noted several days ago that Senator John Kerry had posted on left-wing hate site Daily Kos, demonstrating the increasing difficulty of distinguishing between the kook fringe and the "mainstream" of the Democratic Party.
Today, via Michelle Malkin, we see that Senator Ted Kennedy is also aligning himself directly with the Kos-Kooks.
But they support the troops!
On a related note, The Washington Post has an article today about the influence of liberal blogs on the Democratic Party:
Democrats are getting an early glimpse of an intraparty rift that could complicate efforts to win back the White House: fiery liberals raising their voices on Web sites and in interest groups vs. elected officials trying to appeal to a much broader audience.
These activists -- spearheaded by battle-ready bloggers and making their influence felt through relentless e-mail campaigns -- have denounced what they regard as a flaccid Democratic response to the Supreme Court fight, President Bush's upcoming State of the Union address and the Iraq war. In every case, they have portrayed party leaders as gutless sellouts.

* For the uninitiated, the title of the post refers to the owner of The Daily Kos website, whose reaction to hearing of four of his fellow Americans being brutally murdered in Fallujah was "Screw them."
