I don't know how much truth there is behind this story, but I do know this: there's nothing uglier than a mob of angry teabaggers, on and offline...
A group of influential conservative members of the behemoth social media site Digg.com have just been caught red-handed in a widespread campaign of censorship, having multiple accounts, upvote padding, and deliberately trying to ban progressives. An undercover investigation has exposed this effort, which has been in action for more than one year.
