Oh, what a pity, disunity and mayhem amongst the liberals.

Kos, O'Crazed, et al. ping. This has it all, PJ. A storm is brewing in the Nutroots community. Potential goldmine in store for the KOmmie Komix/DUmmie FUnnies.

Hillary's "people" are gonna pay a visit to Moulitsas "people"

She knows she cant even get the nomination without them, so she'll make sure they are irrelevant before '08.

G-d bless Kos. I couldn't disagree more with him politically, but I'm glad he's being authentic to his beliefs. We want these libs to say exactly what they want to achieve, which makes it all the more plain to make comparisons about what we want to achieve.

The danger lies with nervous political elites attempting to silence such people. They see how the Internet allows us all to evaluate our leaders, research what they've said and done, and share/discuss this in real time.

The Internet cat got out of the bag too fast for them to react. We must never let them try to put her back in.

Liberalism is egomania by another name; liberal bloggers arguing over trifles is like watching toddlers argue over who gets the red cereal bowl. It's amusing to watch but ultimately unimportant except to the other wingnut bloggers like Maryscott "Hotflash" O'Connor (her Wash Post profile is a hoot).

As you can see the disagreements are never about facts or policy, they are just more of the same finger-pointing and preening. Everyone's quest seems to be how many name-checks they can receive. Then it's back to arguing about angels dancing on the head of a pin (for those libs who believe angels exist, anyway).

It's a bit scary, but understandable, that 'serious' Dem leaders would pay these foam-at-the-mouth ranters any attention. What in the world can a workshy empty nester in Maryland tell them that would be relevant to leadership or electoral politics?

The smell of desperation permeates the Dem sphere. If the DNC leadership tries to satisfy the wingnut bloggers, they will be somewhere to the left of VI Lenin. If the DNC ignores the bloggers in search of a moderate (i.e., policies with half a chance of being accepted/implemented) then the bloggers will throw another tanty. What a crew. They deserve each other.

People and/or groups with no moral compass always crash and burn and begin to eat their own.

The Cos was never the same since Lisa Bonet left the show.

What? KOS not Cos?

Never mind.

Maryscott O'Connor's pic from the WaPo article. Subsequent posts on her blog have her and her supporters griping about the photo but didn't she give her consent to be photographed?'

OR DID BUSH* PUT ROOFIES IN HER COFFEE?!?!?!

Yeah, it's what I most fear. The internet has brought true democracy to American politics, but can politicians stand it?

Seems to me at some point they are gonna try and control this tool.

Its easy to understand their hypocrisy when you remember they have no moral basis to begin with.

Sometimes I am embarrassed to call myself a member of DKos. This is one of those times. There is a sort of groupthink, Lord of the Flies kind of behaviour at DKos over certain issues that absolutely makes me nauseated.

Wonder how long it took Maryscott to come to this conclusion. This is the dominant characteristic of the left.

Kos is a lot like the "new politics" types of 35 years ago who saw George McGovern and John Lindsay as particularly strong presidential candidates. They didn't have the math right back then, and chances are they're mistaken now.

There's a parallel between this years Lieberman-Lamont race and Joe Duffey's 1970 campaign against Chris Dodd's father. Then as now, Connecticut is a test case for liberal insurgents, because it's a largely suburban state and most of their voters are affluent suburbanites.

This is great. With the Kossacks and DUmmies on the loose and the all-out attempt to lynch Joe Lieberman, the Dims will be divided, again, this fall. Only they are dumb enough to be able to lose to the pubbies in a year like this.
