Daily Kos Embraces Pro-Troop

“Move America Forward”

(SAN FRANCISCO) – Liberal blogger Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, founder of the popular left-of-center blog, DailyKos.com, has just returned from his first annual “YearlyKos” convention by embracing a surprising mantra: that of the nation’s largest grassroots pro-troop organization, Move America Forward (website: http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org).

In a posting headlined “Move America Forward” the blogger “Kos” denounced the former Dean campaign’s slogan of “Take America Back” as being “regressive.”

“…let's remind people that we are focused on the future. And that's where we want to take our country.”

So Kos’s solution? He wants to embrace the slogan “Move America Forward.”

[See: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/6/19/133628/972 ]

In response to his online proposal, Move America Forward’s Executive Director, Robert Dixon, said he welcomed Markos Zuniga to the pro-troop family.

“For the past couple years, DailyKos.com has served as home of some of the most irresponsible anti-military and ‘Blame America First’ propaganda. I don’t think many of the contributors to that blog understand that America has been attacked and our nations is now at war, because in many of their posts it seems as if they are rooting for the United States and our Coalition Partners to lose the war,” said Dixon.

“Given the media’s extensive praise for Mr. Zuniga’s talents and abilities, it strikes me that Mr. Zuniga could be so oblivious to the existence of Move America Forward as the nation’s leading pro-troop organization. Our organization has been discussed in vivid terms dozens of times at the DailyKos.com site.

“If it is not a moment of gross naivitae on the part of Mr. Zuniga, perhaps he has finally woken up to how bankrupt the ideas advanced by his fellow travelers in the ‘Blame America First’ movement are,” Dixon said.

“We would encourage Markos Zuniga to continue to embrace “Move America Forward” as his slogan and do what is right by showing his true support for the mission our men and women are serving overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are always welcoming convert to the ‘Support Our Troops’ movement,” Dixon concluded.

Seriously, I hope they have their slogan service-marked. You know how libs are always trying to cop everything from the right and bastardize the original meaning.

Not exactly satire.

It looks like that America-hating marxist poofta Kos inadvertently brainstormed a potential new slogan for the Democrats that was already being used by a pro-troop effort.

Yup it won't last long. Typical Move America Forward-Back, Forward-Back...Back and Forth, Back and Forth.

Thats what Slick Willie Clinton called strokin', and it now appears to be a Dim-witted habit as well as as a RINO habit: Political Masturbation of the American Public:

That is why most Dem political activists and RINOs look like this:

Yegads, I been hads!

Nevertheless , there still may be a shred of truth in my post.

Thanks John!

Good fake post, the Dims are under a lot of pressure to abandon their left wing Pols.

I thought that Deaniac, Vermonts Village Idiot anti-Iraq War POS, had finally been put to bed.

Oh weel, have to wait a little longer.

Hello hello!

I know this poster, he's at our office complex (he works in the Move America Forward office). He's legit!

His post is also correct. We asked our web peeps to get the press release posted online at the MAF website and you can then directly link to it.

This was his first post at FR and I explained to him how headlines work, the need to link to an actual article/source. You might also want to add to the title of this thread: "Daily Kos Embraces 'Move America Forward' " as that is more accurate and descriptive than just "B L O G S H O C K E R" - but that's up for you to decide.

Sorry if there was any confusion, the kid didn't mean any harm. He just wasn't 100% familiar with how everything goes here. He's lurked lots, but never posted.

Thanks much!

- Joe

Thank you for the cute cartoon of me setting myself on fire. Much Appreciated. I apologize for any confusion as far as my post. Clearly new to free republic. The Press release posted is a legitimate press release from MoveAmericaForward.org. Yes there is sarcasm in the release, the point of it being the founder of the DailyKos wants their new slogan to be Move America Forward, clearly not realizing that’s the very name of the pro troop organization his blog makes fun of so often. I again apologize for the confusion and will send the appropriate link to the administrator.
