Many Liberals Reject Markos Moulitsas's Anti-Conservative Book Max Fisher Max Fisher Thu Sep 2, 8:06 am ET
WASHINGTON, DC A number of liberal writers are condemning American Taliban, the just-released book by prominent liberal blogger and political organizer Markos Moulitsas. Moulitsas, also known as Kos and the chief of prominent website Daily Kos, argues in his book that elements of the U.S. conservative movement are akin to the Taliban, a militant terrorist group responsible for thousands of deaths in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Some liberals--though certainly not all--think that's a bad idea. Here's why.
The book's official description reads, "America's primary international enemy--Islamic radicalism--insists on government by theocracy, curtails civil liberties, embraces torture, represses women, wants to eradicate homosexuals from society, and insists on the use of force over diplomacy. Remind you of a certain American political party? In American Taliban, Markos Moulitsas pulls no punches as he compares how the Republican Party and Islamic radicals maintain similar worldviews and tactics. Moutlitsas also challenges the media, fellow progressives, and our elected officials to call the radical right on their jihadist tactics more forcefully for the good of our nation and safety of all citizens."

Isn’t he sort of old news. I thought Huffpo was the major influential Lib site now.
Can’t wait to pick up a copy at the local “Dollar Store” soon.
It shows the paucity of the liberal mind that this guy is a spokesman. What an embarrassment.
Don’t kill them. Just cut off their funding.
I mean really you can jut look at the gy and see that he isn’t all there. Who in their right mind would take anything he says seriously other than other nutty lefties? He should change the name of his site to the daily nutter.
Thirty years ago, thought and utterances like these might have garnered some attention. Today: Yawn. Just another liberal moron angling for the spotlight.
