Army artillery scout

No such job exists in the military...

[Robert A Cook PE]

So, how many daily writers does he have, compared to FreeRepublic, and the other conservative sites?

How many (passive) viewer-only DIFFERENT people look at his site?

MSM is ONLY pushing this because the demo's had the convention (attended by THOUSAND people) in Vegas last week. And, just how many people went to CPAC last year? (All of who were ignored by the MSM, of course.)

[Reactionary]

Another typical liberal idiot.

He isn't going to "reinvigorate liberalism." The corpse has left the station.

What's an artillery scout? Somebody with an artillery merit badge?

Left out "breathless". LOL

This guy is doing a great job. We need crowds of excited pinkos expressing themselves as loudly as possible in order to guarantee that the whole mainstream is voting for us.

Kos is a scam. The guy runs profitable sports sites along with the political site. He admits to not knowing much about issues and that he really just enjoys a take no prisoners battle.

He has the gall to beg for donations from his followers to pay workers from his recent convention (see his site).

I hope Daily Kos never goes away. They provide a daily illustration of kookiness for us to point to during debate.

[Niteranger68]

This guy looks like a sheet of fag paper. I know it's not nice to make fun of someone’s looks, but whoever said that hadn't seen this pillow-biter yet.

Daily Kos is the Democratic Party's updated and scaled-down version of Bill Clinton.

Wrong. Daily Kos is just the failed and discredited MoveOn.org recycled. Same f-ed up ideas, same f-ed up people, just a different coat of paint.

"Cox in the Washington Post: "He's the left's own Kurt Cobain and Che Guevara rolled into one, dripping sex appeal for progressives for whom debate has become synonymous with losing, who need a muscular liberal answer to the cowboy swagger adopted by the Bush Administration and its fans."

Yet more evidence that leftists truly are pathetic morons!! To cite Kurt Cobain and Che Guevara as the exemplars for the great Kos is simply hilarious.

Che Guevara: pathetic loser, mass murderer and torturer who met his end in a Bolivian jungle, in a ridiculous attempt to sponsor a "peasant revolution."

Kurt Cobain: pathetic loser, hyper-depressive pseudo-musician whose 'grunge' following was left in the lurch when Cobain committed suicide.

Yeah, the Kos-morons and foul-mouthed Cox have found just the right leader for the new revolution.

[LexBaird]

Cox in the Washington Post: "He's the left's own Kurt Cobain and Che Guevara rolled into one, dripping sex appeal for progressives for whom debate has become synonymous with losing,...

Well, maybe if they showed up to debates armed with facts and logic they wouldn't constantly lose. But, then again, if they used facts and logic, they wouldn't be "progressives".

HIS LEGAL NAME IS:


"Markos Moulitsas Zúniga "

This makes him easier to research. Markos Moulitsas Zϊniga (born September 11, 1971), often known by his username "Kos", is the founder and main author of Daily Kos, a popular liberal political webblog. Born in Chicago, Illinois, to a Salvadoran Family, he grew up in el Salvador. In 1980, his family moved back to the United States due to the civil war. He served in the US Army from 1989 through 1992; during his military service he changed his political affiliation from Republican to Democrat. Afterwards, he attended Norther Illinois University, and recieved his law degree from Boston University. He is now a political consultant in Berkley California where he runs the Daily Kos.


http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/m/markos_moulitsas_z%C3%BAniga So Mr. Kos is concealing his ethnic background trying to imply something he is not. He is also firmly in the camp of the left and earns his living there. This seems like another "moveon" sorros project.

[longtermmemmory]

FROM 2004

http://www.eastbayexpress.com/issues/2004-12-15/news/feature_full.html

In April, Moulitsas made a gaffe that accidentally linked his fortunes to those of Seemann. In writing a post about the four civilian contractors who had been brutally killed in Fallujah on March 31, his emotions overshot his sense of diplomacy. "I feel nothing over the death of mercenaries," he wrote. "Screw them." The response from the political establishment was immediate. The Kerry campaign delinked from his site. Conservative blogs denounced him as a hatemonger and pressed Democratic candidates who advertised on Daily Kos to withdraw their support. Three of them pulled their ads. Daily Kos readers began to worry that the Web site was toast.

Enter longtime blog reader, Daily Kos regular, and long-shot congressional candidate Seemann, who became the first candidate to place a new ad after the pullout. At that moment, things didn't look too bright for Seemann's candidacy. He was an ordinary guy from Canton, Ohio, who had dropped out of college and worked as a disc jockey, sportswriter, and music researcher for Clear Channel Communications. His entry into public life followed an accidental fall that shattered his elbow and taught him that his insurance wouldn't fully cover his medical bills. When the cost of medical care forced Seemann into bankruptcy, he had a revelation about the shoddy state of American health care. Something needed to be done, he decided, so he ran for the House of Representatives from Ohio's sixteenth Congressional District. Given that the Republican incumbent, Ralph Regula, had held the district for 32 years, the Democratic Party wasn't even planning to run anyone for the seat. Regula's last two challengers hadn't even raised the $5,000 necessary to file initial Federal Elections Commission reports.

But once Seemann placed his ad on Moulitsas' Web site, something amazing happened. The Daily Kos community repaid his loyalty by emptying their own wallets. "The place went nuts," recalls Tim Tagaris, who served as Seemann's communications director. "Everyone was so worried about Markos. There became this mini-fund-raising drive for Jeff Seemann."

Seemann's candidacy became highly Web-powered, supported in large part by donors and volunteers from nowhere near Ohio. A half-dozen staff members, including Tagaris, were hired from connections made on Daily Kos or other blogs. Most of the staff, from the candidate on down, routinely visited the blogs to talk shop and make friends. Tagaris posted drafts of Seemann's campaign speeches to solicit critiques; one day the campaign even let the community vote on Seemann's schedule. In the end, Tagaris says, the campaign raised about $60,000, or roughly half of its funding, from Daily Kos readers, and another 35 percent from other Internet sources. Tagaris says Daily Kos "turned a candidate who was destined for anonymity into a viable candidate."

But even with the help of the Daily Kos community, Seemann did little better than his forebears, garnering only about 33 percent of the vote. In fact, the entire Kos Dozen lost -- all fifteen of them. So did Dean. So did Clark. So, of course, did Kerry.

"During the campaign, for instance, Moulitsas' connections to the Dean and Clark campaigns raised more than a few eyebrows. Brian Reich, writing on the Web site Personal Democracy Forum, dubbed the Daily Kos "machine politics 2.0." He criticized Armstrong-Zúniga for not revealing its client roster during the '04 campaign season, and suggested that both men used their blogs to push the consulting firm's candidates. "While the Daily Kos is a community site, it is hardly a democracy," Reich writes. "Make no mistake, it is Kos' world, and his readers and writers are all just playing into it." "

SEEMS THE DAILY KOS IS A WEB "BLOG" FOR HIRE.

If you pay Mr. Kos a "consulting fee" the Daily Kos will endorse you.

Sweet. (is this a campaign finance violation?)

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

Allow me to translate:

"Short and lacking in muscle tone/mass, Moulitsas, 34, trembles and quivers like the rodent that he most resembles - a rat."

Sheesh! Dowd is really desperate these days!
