I am embarrassed to be pro-life todayCannot be posted by FR rules.

At Daily Kos, there is a blog today on how to repeal Prop 8 in the future. LINK BELOW. Keep black and Hispanic turnout low, and counter Mormon Money... The title of the blog is "To Repeal Prop 8, Keep Black and Hispanic Turnout Low, And Counter Mormon Money." Does this sound to you like libs/Dems cherish black and hispanic votes? Does this sound to you like libs/Dems are against suppressing the minority vote? Don't libs/Dems want every vote to count? Could it be that libs/Dems only care about advancing liberalism and socialism and really don't care what they have...

For those highly mistaken people who think the liberals are the ones who bring gentleness and compassion and reasonableness to the political debate, we always have the rebuttal. It’s called the Daily Kos. This Thursday "diary" recently made it to the top of the Kosmonauts’ recommended list, despite the fact that the writer needs his keyboard washed out with soap: F*** you Dick Cheney! F*** your pompous condecension. F*** your straw men! F*** your mischaracterizations! F*** your sniveling attempts to keep you and your buddies asses out of federal (somewhat offensive movie quote removed, happy now?) prison! F*** your presumption...

US' own Hitler Youth- Daily Kos In todays NYT, there is an article about the boy scouts explorer program which takes scouts (boys and girls) between 14 and 18 and trains them in so called law enforcement activities.This proram now has over 35,000 members and semms to be concentrated in the border areas. My immediate reaction on reading the article was to think of the Hitler Youth movement in Germany of the thirties, and to this end I checked into Wiki and compared the two groups.

It was a sight to behold. President Barack Obama reverses himself on his promise to release interrogation (now redefined as "torture") photos and the entire leftwing blogosphere erupts in an explosion of anger. It was so bad that Cenk Uygur, host of the leftwing host of The Young Turks radio show, claimed that Obama was cowed into caving in to Dick Cheney as you can see in his Daily Kos post: This is an unbelievable moment. Dick Cheney's PR offensive over the last month actually worked. Barack Obama just crumbled and will follow Cheney's command to not release the new...

An unusually enlightening palate cleanser. If Fox News anchors started posting on HA, the hunt would be on for every last incendiary sentence ever left in the comments to prove that we’re a “hate” site. As it is, the leading lights at CBS, NBC, and MSNBC have been known to grace sludge pits like HuffPo and dKos and nary an eye is blinked, even when they “forget” to mention that they’re blogging there. I can almost understand that, though: Given the media’s own ideological slant, lefty sites must seem to them practically nonpartisan in tone, in much the same way...

You have to wonder what runs through the minds of some of the kooks at DailyKos.Amazingly, one America-hating Kossack who goes by the handle "KLS" actually denounced rescued Maersk Alabama Captain Richard Phillips for "recklessly put[ting] himself, the crew, and the Navy Seals at unnecessary risk." In a piece that was spotlighted at RealClearPolitics, KLS wrote: The pirates' modus operandi is that they hold the crew, ship, and cargo harmlessly until a lot of money is paid to them.  Phillips "heroic" actions put his crew and himself at risk.  If he'd done nothing except acquiesce to the pirates' demands, there...

Although this is what has come to be expected from the anti-first amendment Left, on 7 April Fox News’ Neil Cavuto reported that Barack Obama’s group ACORN, members and readers of the far Left blog “Huffington Post” and other left-wing groups plan to infiltrate and cause chaos at scheduled tax day citizen tea parties. The tea parties—based upon the original Boston Tea Party’s taxation without representation—have barely been mentioned by the apparent Obama Administration-controlled leftist press. The protests against the citizen tea parties—which were organized to stop Washington D.C.’s continued theft of trillions of taxpayer dollars—are said to be very...

This weekend, three Pittsburgh police officers were gunned down in cold blood by a disturbed gunman during an hours long standoff in what is an otherwise quiet suburb. You probably wouldn’t normally think that’s a source for clever one liners, but then, you aren’t a DailyKos kid are you?

Certainly one cannot say that Markos Moulitsas, the fellow that invented DailyKos.com, is the sage of the Democratic Party specifically or the left generally, but he does have a certain following as well as a high profile among activists if not Party regulars and political bosses. So when Kos begins Twittering that Sec. of the Treasury Tim Geithner is failing, this is not a good sign for Obama's guy. On Sunday, March 23, Kos wrote a Twitter posting stating "Geithner is starting to look like Obama's Rumsfeld." To employ a saying: I know Donald Rumsfeld, Tim Geithner is no Donald...

The confrontation between Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer, host of CNBC's "Mad Money," on Comedy Central's "Daily Show" in which the latter delivered a pathetically poor performance was a hot topic on cable and in the blogosphere last week. Everywhere, that is, except on MSNBC where the hosts were strangely silent about this encounter. Were the MSNBC hosts under orders to keep silent about this since the parent NBC company didn't want to harm the credibility and ratings of a CNBC host? According to TVNewser, this was likely the case: A TVNewser tipster tells us MSNBC producers were asked not...

Excerpts: As you all know, Skyewriter recently wrote about the dangerous incitement to violence and direct threats at Free Republic. I also posted and directed you to Skywriter’s blog. Skyewriter and I were deluged with gun bloggers and other right wingnuts (and just nuts) who denied that this was a direct threat. ~~snip~~ One week after Skywriter posted and I directed those on my blog to the post, the Daily Kos posted on the same topic. They detailed a thread in which the wingnuts were ranting, no doubt with white froth at the mouth, about our duly elected President who...

Freerepublic.com is going to get shut down by the Secret Service for threatening President Obama's life. If it doesn't happen because of a flimsy proviso in the post discussed here, then we live in a still more dangerous world.

One of leading moonbat "Opinion Drivers"/Propogandists at DAILY KOS is now trying to pigeon-hole Republican Legislators in to denouncing Rush Limbaugh. For those of you who don't know, (or don't even care), who this woman is, she is deranged "Housewife" that is OFTEN quoted (But never credited) by Lib and Democrat pundits on TV. If she is pushing it, you can almost be assured that it will be driving Democrat pundit talking points over the next few days. In a diary titled "Rush Limbaugh: The Voice Of The Republican Party", she tells us she is calling Republicans in Congress, asking...

WASHINGTON — A group of liberal bloggers said it is teaming up with organized labor and MoveOn to form a political action committee that will seek to push the Democratic Party farther to the left. Soliciting donations from their readers, the bloggers said they are planning to recruit liberal candidates for challenges against more centrist Democrats currently in Congress. The formation of the group marks another step in the evolution of the blogosphere, which has proven effective at motivating party activists to give money and time to political campaigns, especially in local races. But it also illuminates a deepening wrinkle...

This is a tale that should serve as a cautionary one to all that inhabit the Internet. It's all about the instant outrage, the ginned up hatred, the immediate immolation, that one sees so often infesting the left in our fair country. It shows how unhinged many there are. It started on the Huffington Post on February 19, when poster Alex Leo found what he thought was a video of John Gibson of Fox News saying that new Attorney General Eric Holder was like a monkey with a "bright blue scrotum." In reality, though, what Huffposter Leo found was a...

Comedy is not pretty, especially if it is wielded as a clumsy hatchet by the Left to do their dirty work for them. Such is the case with the suggestion on the Daily Kos that satire could be used as a weapon to "take Limbaugh down." This is the comedy weapon post on this topic by the ironically named Kossack, FreeSociety: Like it or not, Rush Limbaugh's elevation to icon status, by the right-wing-owned Corporate Radio Industry (which pre-dated the rise of Fox News) has been a serious problem for progressive politics, and also just basic accuracy in News Reporting....

Liberal activists are frothing for investigations into officials who carried out warrantless-wiretapping policies and employed "enhanced" interrogation techniques on captured terror suspects. They hope to have an ally in Panetta, who wrote an article in 2008 strongly condemning the use of "torture" in the name of "national security." Some anxious spies fear the new CIA chief could launch a witch hunt—one that would destroy morale and make the agency more risk-averse. Officials familiar with the views of Obama's team insist there's no massive probe coming. But a senior Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Oregon's Ron Wyden, told NEWSWEEK he...

Pundits are fond of talking about the disconnect between the GOP and the American electorate. Conservatives are out of step, so the wisdom goes. They need to drop the frightening Pentecostalism of Sarah Palin and the bellicosity of John McCain. Republicans must consider dismantling the whole trickle-down apparatus and turning their direct attention to the neglected segment of the population for whom “the promise of America,� as Barack Obama likes to call it, remains unfulfilled. True, voters may not be in sync with Republican leaders. But if the current political climate is any indication, they could end up feeling mightily...

As hundreds of thousands of people all over the globe are protesting the US-armed and funded Israeli acts of war and Zionist genocide against the Palestinian population of Gaza, the slaughter continues with more bombings, siege and a blockade, plus a threatened ground war." So reads a description of the Gaza fighting on the home page of indymedia.org, the Web site of the Independent Media Center, which describes itself as "a network of collectively run media outlets for the creation of radical, accurate, and passionate tellings of the truth." It is accompanied by a picture of burned and bleeding children,...

The intellectually challenged folks at The Daily Kos are at it again. Neanderthal Karole Noyman takes libertarians to task, in a spectacularly foolish fashion, over an article on this blog which describes the radical social agenda of the incoming Obama administration. Noyman, typical of short-fingered, vulgarian Obama voters, thinks that liberty is a synonym for hedonism. Nothing could be further from the truth. We suggest that Noyman, and Kos himself, put down the Kool Aid container for a moment and read Edmund Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France, for a good understanding of what sophisticated, educated libertarians understand the...

The end of the year is traditionally a time of appraising the last year, and estimating what the next will bring. I’ll skip my personal history and my estimates for my family. Instead, the subject is what I have done for almost 40 years, now. I’ve spent those years primarily in research, writing, teaching, and practicing constitutional law. At this time, I conclude that the Constitution is in serious trouble. The idea of creating a democratic republic was extremely rare in 1776 when the intent was stated in the Declaration, as in 1787 when the Constitution was written. The irony...

Today I got linked by the nuts at the Daily Kos. A post from earlier in the week called Note to Warming Nuts--BABY ITS COLD OUTSIDE was used as an example of right wingers cherry picking information to show that global warming was bogus. I even got some "Love Letters" like this one from a guy named Andy who was too much of a coward to leave an email address: You know what? I could have written the same damn article with the word "cold" replaced with "hot" about six months ago. On June 16 (I remember the date for...

Barack Obama asked Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to remain at his post and now the Daily KOs KOmmies are whining about this as you can see at this THREAD titled, "Times: Gates to Stay at Defense." Well, so much for veering away from the Bush policy in Iraq. All that thunder from the left about how wrong it was has now been undercut by one Barack Obama. So let us now watch the KOmmies gripe about how more things change the more they remain the same in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, chronicling yet...

DailyKos and DemocraticUndergroud types are starting to get a bit miffed at their messiah. So far, no one from their ranks has been given the nod to take a spot on Obama's staff or to fill his cabinet openings. The "progressives" are noticing, too, that far from bringing a "new" wave of politics to Washington, so far Obama is bringing back the age of Clinton. Instead of Washington becoming Obamopolis, it is a re-birthed Clintonville that is rising like a phoenix from the ashes. It is certainly too early to claim that Barack Obama is going to be a...

I never do this sort of thing...but I would really appreciate y'all's help here. Do you hate the hive mentality of DailyKos? Would you like to make them squirm? Do you like baseball? Would you like to reward smart, non-partisan analysis that has influenced the way we all now approach baseball? One of the greatest baseball bloggers in America, David Cameron of U.S.S. Mariner, is up for this online scholarship award. The people who run it, in their infinite wisdom, have made the contest an INTERNET POLL: the winner gets $10,000 to pay off their educational debts. Cameron was the...

After Lieberman Vote, Kos Says He's 'Done With Reid' @ 5:41 pm by Walter Alarkon Markos Moulitsas, founder of Daily Kos, isn't happy about Senate Democrats' decision to keep Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) as chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Moulitsas wrote that the Democrat senators' vote showed "disdain for the American electorate that voted in overwhelming numbers for change from the discredited Bush/McCain/Lieberman policies." He added that he is "done with [Harry] Reid as Senate leader." "[I]n a city known for tone-deafness, there clearly isn't a more tone-deaf group than the Senate Dems," Moulitsas wrote.

Barack Obama sent a letter to the Daily Kos which was posted back in 2005 to talk strategy and "change" to the Kossacks. Obama was very serious about toning down the rhetoric only until it was safe enough to "enforce a more clearly progressive agenda.” (h/t to Gateway Pundit for bringing this back through Sweetness and Light) (my emphasis added:) I thought this might be a good opportunity to offer some thoughts about not only judicial confirmations, but how to bring about meaningful change in this country. Maybe some of you believe I could have made my general point more...

Your humble correspondent had figured the polls would start to narrow in the final week of the campaign but this stunning new Gallup poll shows the lead in the Presidential race narrowing much more rapidly than he had assumed. The latest Gallup poll of traditional likely voters shows the race has narrowed down to 49 percent for Barack Obama and 47 percent for John McCain. Here is Gallup's explanation of this poll: Gallup's "traditional" likely voter model, which Gallup has employed for past elections, factors in prior voting behavior as well as current voting intention. This has generally shown a...

The Kossacks at the Daily Kos are hitting the panic button over the Obama "redistribution of wealth" audio which has become the hottest political topic on the Web, including the Drudge Report. As NewsBusters Mark Finkelstein has noted, most of the MSM morning TV shows, with the exception of Fox & Friends and Morning Joe, are still continuing to bury this story which your humble correspondent posted earlier today. However, this burial by the MSM is giving little comfort to the denizens of the Daily Kos. Right now they are trying to desperately spin away this story with excuses that...

Leftwing website targets Mormons on Prop 8? By Justin Hart READ MORE HERE: http://culture11.com/blogs/credo/2008/10/21/dailykos-sniffing-out-hypocritical-mormons-on-prop-8/?from=blogOK. Excuse me while I rant for a moment. I promised not to get dragged down into politics on this blog but I’m a bit upset about this one. Today, DailyKos blogger hekebolos is mustering the Kosacks (as they are sometimes known) to hunt down information about Mormons and others who have donated to "Protect Marriage," the non-profit group fighting to pass Proposition 8. In short, he wants to dig up dirt and expose people as hypocrites. Insane! What’s more, the Kos poster has put up the...

 When a black republican like General Colin Powell endorses a major liberal figure like Barack Obama, it is amazing to see racial vitriol stop at lefty websites like Daily Kos: Powell didn't just decimate the McCain campaign rationale, however. Powell also offered up an endorsement of Barack Obama in the strongest possible terms, saying that Obama would be an "exceptional president" and that he had the capacity to be "transformational." The amazing part of all this is that Powell still considers himself a Republican. While there will never be an excuse for his role in supporting the Iraq war, one...

Having encountered an actual blue-collar member of the proletariat, the white-collar bourgeois Kossacks recoil in horror at what they see: Finally we heard the talk of real Americans! Too bad that talk ended up being more racist drivel... This again comes down to racial identity. McCain can be trusted; Obama cannot. The white man can be trusted, even when his words and deeds show otherwise; the black man is clearly a Manchurian Candidate waiting to ambush this country and its poor plumbers. Joe the Plumber may not want to think this way; he may not even realize that he thinks...

I admit it, I HAD an account at Daily Kos. I will lamely attempt to defend myself by saying that it was a personal social experiment to see how long I could keep from being banned while posting cogent and unbiased comments and diaries. What did I find out? What we probably all already knew, the nutroots don't have a sense of humor, they are the only ones with any compassion, and anyone that is not similarly (extremely) liberal is not just insensitive but EVVVVILLL! I lasted a bit longer than obvious dissenters/sane people (know at DKos as trolls) because...

High Hopes [Byron York] From a post entitled "Crush Their Spirits," by Markos Moulitsas: I've been making the case the last couple of weeks that we can't just focus on winning in November, but that we have an imperative to take advantage of a historic opportunity to break the conservative movement's backs and crush their spirits. In the White House, that means getting Obama a broad popular and geographic mandate for change. In the House, that means annihilating the Republican caucus and working toward a 100-seat Democratic majority. In the Senate it means getting to a 60-seat filibuster proof majority....

It's not like we haven't seen this before. But this time it was so incredibly blatant that it raises the question: why have Olbermann on the air at all? Why not just let Markos Moulitsas be the guy who hosts Countdown and runs MSNBC?

Please tell me if you can, who BELIEVES the crap that's being posted over there at Daily Kos? WHO????

DEMOCRATS: MoveOn.org claims to have “bought” your political party. What are you going to do about it?

A note From Radarsite: "...the radar guy faked you out, dude..." There is nothing I would like more than to drop this whole miserable episode with Daily Kos and its rabid supporters, but they just won't let me. The DK has now deleted this post and all references to it from their site. Thus, it never happened. It was a made-up story, a Republican ploy, another Republican ploy. The Daily Kos never did such a thing. All of those outraged articles that flooded the Internet were only condemning a chimera. Those (literally) thousands of readers who descended on Radarsite to...

This is the graphic that the degenerates at Daily Kos displayed on their website to celebrate the murder of 3,000 Americans seven years ago on 9/11. The half million or so lowlifes that frequent Daily Kos are beneath contempt, as this graphic so clearly illustrates. Feel free to question their patriotism. Update: The graphic has since been taken down, but the tag line on the link "I hate 9/11" says it all.

A note from Radarsite: After posting this article to the History Channel Boards I started wondering if anyone would actually write in to defend the Daily Kos' publication of this cartoon. No, I decided, that would be impossible. They might find a way to attack me, but no one in their right mind could defend that hideous cartoon or that despicable website that published it. And yet, incredibly, unbelievably, they have. To me, this response is even more disturbing than the cartoon itself. Although the author of these comments addresses me repeatedly by name, I am deleting his. However, if...

"All this 9/11 worship is ghoulish and downright silly. Some Brit on b3ta.com is even making fun of our pompous charade." From Daily Kos.com Barack Obama at Yearly Kos Event ------------------------------------------- A note from Radarsite: This is funny? Or perhaps this man here -- is he funny? Maybe this lady here is what's so funny. My God. Can someone please explain this to me? Can anyone out there help me to understand how any American website, regardless of their political leanings, could find any justification, any justification whatsoever for publishing this cartoon? Can anyone describe for me the mentality...

 "... Now, of course, there was a lot of irregularities about that pregnancy that still are pretty much unexplained. I don’t think they’re explained by the original theory. But there’s some weird stuff. I mean, you don’t have your water break and then you wait ten hours to go the hospital. Because you give a speech and you go on a commercial flight to Seattle, and sit around, and take a commercial flight to Anchorage, and take a one hour drive to your hometown, and then have a baby when your water breaks. Especially a special needs child. Like...

Oh noes! Palin is terroist! Daily Kos: Palin’s AIP group has terroists [sic] ties. "I just obtained this info. and need help getting it to go viral. AIP Is not a harmless group. It seems that they are tied to terrorist. Please help this go viral. If this was a Dem. Candidate, this would be on the msm 24/7. The scoop below the fold." Wait a minute! I thought the official Daily Kos talking point was that Al Qaeda is no threat at all? You have to wonder if there’s a point where these morons are embarrassed by the sheer...

The 24/7 Obama press was sent into frenzy last Friday when John McCain named the one VP running mate that they had not performed preemptive personal sludge searches upon in preparation for the announcement. They thought that they were ready to bury whomever McCain announced, but nobody had Sarah Palin on the war room radar… Lacking any sludge prep on Palin, the Obama press immediately turned to left-wingnut blogs like Daily Kos for anti-Palin material.

Since the first article on American Thinker warning about the forthcoming types of attacks on Sarah Palin was posted last Friday (Defending Against the First Attacks on Sarah Palin), the assault has come fast and furious from both the media and the Democrats. Perhaps the only surprising thing about it has been, however, the depravity of the attacks.   While the campaign against Governor Palin has been viscious, certainly more so than any I can remember previous, it has managed to expose the soft underbelly of the Democratic Party, including the mainstream media. The Left is, at its heart, a movement...

I have to admit, at first there I was pretty angry. Outraged. Infuriated. Spitting-bullets mad. I'm talking of course about the vile attacks against Governor Sarah Palin by the Left and their willing accomplices in the Media. Never have I seen such scurrilous, contemptible, despicable gutter tactics. But now I have moved past that stage of rage and taken on an attitude of gratitude. Yes, GRATITUDE! Let's THANK the Looney Left, as exemplified and led by Head KOmmie KOs, for their beyond-the-pale, sexist, hypocritical, personal smears of Governor Palin and her children. THANX, Head KOmmie KOs! You have KOntributed...

McCain presidential campaign strategist Steve Schmidt went on the record with the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz today, revealing the depths to which the mainstream media has sunk in their efforts to destroy the family of Republican vice presidential pick Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.Schmidt said that the campaign has been deluged with demands from reporters that the Palin family submit to DNA testing to assuage baseless rumors promulgated by the Democratic party's favorite website, the Daily Kos.Schmidt accused the media of being "on a mission to destroy" Sarah Palin.Kurtz writes that Markos Moulitsas, the founder of the Daily Kos, believes the...

Film-maker Michael Moore has apparently praised the gulf weather for its chance of disrupting the Republican convention: “This hurricane is proof that there is a god in heaven.” Another low point in politics, though possibly one that could be passed off with a laugh—a partisan irony, rather than a serious derangement. But over on the leftist Daily Kos website, there is a post that sinks much lower—so low that it caused many of the commentators to denounce it. Which led another commentator to make this remark: I am prepared to do whatever is necessary to destroy the Republican Party as...

Every major Democrat presidential candidate has attended the Yearly Kos convention. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid keynoted the nutroots’ annual gathering two years ago. Dick Durbin appeared via satellite with the official Senate seal in the background. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sat down with the Kossacks and their ilk for a chat at Netroots Nation this year. Hillary pandered to the Kos crowd last summer. So did Barack Obama. Ever since John McCain announced his VP pick, the Daily Kos — the self-declared “New Center” of American politics — has been an out-of-control incubator of deranged conspiracy theories and attacks...
