Just about every group is represented at this year's Democratic National Convention.

Recreate '68 is trying stir anti-war upheaval outside the enclosed Pepsi Center complex. Anarchists are actually keeping a schedule of meetings. Even Trojan Condoms has set up shop outside the convention gates.

And when it comes to new media, the Mile High City has pitched a Big Tent - literally.

Hundreds of liberal bloggers from across the country are huddling in a two-story tent set up just for them. The tent is a mish-mash of Internet subcultures, and serves as the off-site nerve center for new media.

While some 500 bloggers crunched out Web content from the main room Tuesday afternoon, users posted videos on "Why are you a Democrat in 2008?" to YouTube at a nearby computer station. The latest headlines capturing offbeat political views from Digg.com streamed across a wide screen monitor at the front desk.

"Outrageous! Police Trap Peaceful Protesters in Denver"

"Limbaugh Falsely Claims America Is ‘Conservative Majority'"

"McCain Meeting With D-List Celebrities"

Those were just a few.

Upstairs Dan Rather spoke in the Digg.com-sponsored lecture room on the shortcomings of the mainstream media, particularly in their handling of the Iraq war.

Rather emboldened his Webbie audience to blog and besiege the ramparts of establishment media as part of their patriotic duty.

"Much of the press is rolling over and playing dead. ... American journalism is in need of a spine transplant," he said. "Your country needs you now more than ever."

In the bloggers' quarters, Todd Beeton, of MyDD.com, said he and his blog are focusing on countering the mainstream media stories that play up tensions between Hillary Clinton's supporters and Barack Obama. Just about every major newspaper carried a story Tuesday morning about division in the party ranks, in the lead-up to Clinton's speech this evening.

"It seems like all the media can talk about is the disarray. I mean they love that storyline and I get that," Beeton said. "But the idea that there's going to be some coup or the idea that there's division, honestly, in this delegation is ridiculous."

Lucas O'Connor, of the California-centric site Calitics.com, said the bloggers are filling in with the kind of personal touch that the mainstream media lack.

"It's a more personal perspective I think. The traditional media has a role that requires a broader story to be told, whereas we can kind of burrow down into the more granular politics," he said. "One of the things about blogging is that by doing it regularly and just kind of on a rolling basis, it's more of an opportunity to create a narrative as opposed to creating an isolated story."

O'Connor said one of the recent challenges for his ilk has been blogging against the Iraq war - because they've been doing it for so long.

"At some point people just get burned out on it. So it's a constant challenge to find new angles and keep people plugged into it," he said.

Liberal blog Daily Kos, The Alliance for Sustainable Colorado and Progress Now are sponsoring the blogger headquarters.

The Alliance's Aaron Nelson said 3,000 applied for credentials and 500 were accepted. His group is hosting a series of speakers, including oilman-turned-alternative-energy-champion T. Boone Pickens on Wednesday.

Bloggers also have their own lounge in the Pepsi Center, where the convention is being held. Those at the so-called Big Tent Tuesday said the accommodations for bloggers this year are unprecedented.

But the Big Tent could have been a bit bigger.

Daily Kos bloggers sitting on the sofa in the back of the room seemed to have no interest in talking to FOXNews.com.

Asked if they could spare a couple minutes, they grimaced until their honcho said, "No," and they went back to blogging.

On the bright side, the Google stand was handing out smoothies. Their West Coast cafeteria is renowned for its food and the mango beverage did not disappoint.
