Funny, I don't remember adoring pieces in Time, Newsweek or the Washington Post about Free Republic. Even when we were framing the debate on the impeachment of Clinton, or unmasking Dan Rather.

Odd.

Excellent catch, Peach. Does show how clearly the nation is riven in two. None of what Ana considers 'sexy' even interests me.

Sounds like more kneepad journalism to me, actually, but it's good you pinged in here.

[DBrow]

Hope Kos got new servers. Remember when Rush would mention their name, and the site servers would go down?

[Peach]

DailyKos.com, the world's most popular political blog.

A clearinghouse for liberal screeds and progressive perspective on the news, the site claims to get more than 500,000 unique visitors daily and more than 10,000 members maintain their own sub-blogs (called "diaries") within its reaches. On Thursday, almost a thousand of these loyal readers and contributors — along with Wesley Clark, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and former Virginia governor and potential '08 contender Mark Warner — will gather in Las Vegas for a pep rally-cum-political conference, "Yearly Kos."

I don't know the stats for FR visitors and posts, but find it difficult to believe Daily Kos is the most popular political web site in the world.

He speaks in staccato paragraphs, punctuated by intense stares and a raised eyebrow.

I know someone like that...but they have meth issues...

[Beckwith]

ANA MARIE COX sounds like she'd like to give Kos a Clinton.

[Little Ray]

Who?

[Unam Sanctam]

Among bloggers, he is probably most famous for his tactless response to the June 2003 video images of the corpses of American military contractors being dragged through the streets of Fallujah, about which he wrote, "I feel nothing... Screw them." While conservatives — and many liberals — criticized Moulitsas's intemperance, the controversy did nothing to slow the site's skyrocketing readership. Indeed, the incident gave him his trademark.

I'm glad Time mentions it, although is practically dismissive about this disgusting quote and the mentality it represents. It is not mere "intemperance", but a lack of respect for the dignity of human life in the service of attacking one's country. If he wants to revel in this "trademark", then more's the pity for him and his devotees.

"Compact and wiry, Moulitsas, 34, exudes quivering intensity. He speaks in staccato paragraphs, punctuated by intense stares and a raised eyebrow. His eyes bulge slightly outward..."

In other words, a tweaker.

[pissant]

He just says what the NY Times says, just couched differently. A stinking commie.

[SamAdams_Lite]

Ann Marie Cox is the 'Blog Slut'.

[jveritas]

We're talking about the rhetorical excesses that can spill out of the impassioned debate that takes place on his creation, DailyKos.com, the world's most popular political blog.

Debate? Oh please those intolerant delusional liberal kooks will ban you instantly if you disagree one iota with them.

Are they really the most popular political website on the Internet? Where do we rank on FR?

[Antoninus]

Compact and wiry, Moulitsas, 34, exudes quivering intensity. He speaks in staccato paragraphs, punctuated by intense stares and a raised eyebrow. His eyes bulge slightly outward, as if reacting to the pressure of all the ideas inside his head.

Perfect descripiton of a quivering lunatic if you ask me.

[Moose4]

Oh, and it's worth noting that his little "Crashing the Gate" screed was well down in the THOUSANDS on recent Amazon.com ratings. And, that every single candidate that he has funneled money toward has LOST their election. Somehow, Wonkette conveniently ignores those facts. But I doubt they'd be ignored if they applied to a conservative blogger.

[wideawake]

It's an adoring piece on Zuniga written by a journalist who is a long-time admirer of Moulitsas.

It's like Time asking Jon Stewart to write a piece about Stephen Colbert.

Not even a pretense of objectivity.

Not that I dislike the piece: Zuniga is the gift that keeps on giving.

[Jameison]

Markos Moulitsas Zuniga :"If I cared what commenters said, I'd kill myself."

Me: "If I were Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, I'd kill myself."

[91B]

Wonkette thinks Kos has sex appeal?!?

Ewwwwww!!!

[ArrogantBustard]

Compact and wiry, Moulitsas, 34, exudes quivering intensity.

!?!?!?!?!

That reads like something Morford would write.

[Antoninus]

The book tour for Crashing the Gate kicked off in Los Angeles with a cocktail party co-hosted by liberal luminary Norman Lear

Is that what they're calling communist propagandists today?

On Thursday, almost a thousand of these loyal readers and contributors — along with Wesley Clark, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and former Virginia governor and potential '08 contender Mark Warner — will gather in Las Vegas for a pep rally-cum-political conference, "Yearly Kos."

Wow. Clark, Reid, and Warner are going to pander to "almost a thousand" of these looney lefties. Good. This guy will do his part in pushing the dem party right off that leftist whacko cliff.
