Legacy of the Daily KOS...

Continued stock losses in the personal hygine and clothing sectors...

Lower inventories at the Goodwill and Salvation Army thrift stores...

Increased rudeness, tardiness and absences among Starbuck's and Book a Million employees...

Attention RNC:

You now have your sound bites for use in political ads against these Presidential Candidates who pander to the KKKOSsaks.

If nothing else, the “Screw them” comment by lowlife Zuniga should have made you recoil in horror. But it didn’t, which tells me everything I need to know about the three of you.

But of course, you support the troops, riiiiight???

Four Minutes!

That’s the recorded time between the Minneapolis bridge collapsing and someone blaming it on Bush on the Daily KOS...

"the legacy of the Daily Kos and of the cowardly politicians in the Democratic Party who've helped to give that blog credibility."

Absolutely true.

In a similar vein one can see the decline of black culture as the failure of the leaders of that community to stand up to the rapster ganster thugs that are literally destroying everything that was good in black culture.

JJackson and RevAl step to the front of the line!

Because many of the writers at the Daily Kos are extremists who promote a virulent hatred of the military, conspiracy theories, and in some cases, even violence and Fascist tactics against the people who disagree with them.

These must be the people Finestein and Lott were talking about. Oh wait... THAT WAS TALK-RADIO!

You know, not so long ago, the internet was predominantly used by those of a conservative bent. That is to say, being on the ‘net required not only some sort of PC or similar device and a dial up or, for the elite-est of the elite, a broadband (T1 anyone?) connection. Heck, we had a dial up at my place of work with 5 of us sharing the connection back in the mid-90’s. But this meant you had to own or have access to a PC and a connection.

Somewhere along the line, internet connectivity among the unwashed masses (this means you, unskilled, under-educated folks) and academia (which I suppose was among the earliest internet denizens) rose to a point where the left wing became an unavoidable presence.

Along came whack-job sites catering to these new users, the left, and, voila, you get sites like the DailyKos, which, I read as “the daily chaos” out loud when I see it.

I miss the gold, old days.

Yes but the chocolate fountain at the Yearly Kos convention is oh so decadent and delicious!

Unknown Jerome will be your Maitre d’. Please be sure to press some big bills into his palm if you expect a positive writeup on DailyKos after the event.

Thanks for posting this article.

I'm not so sure BOR's publicity of both websites is a "bad" thing for us. If the average inattentive American looks at the KOS website and compares it to ours, I believe most citizens will be appalled at KOS. I just don't think most Americans are as angry, vile, and hate-filled as the Kossacks are. When people read that site and compare it to FR, I think they will gravitate this direction - and learn about many different issues/subjects from a standpoint not reported in the MSM.

Whether they agree with us is yet to be determined. Getting opposing opinions is the beginning of thinking-for-oneself. Ultimately, that is a GOOD thing.

Does anyone know what the Kos in Daily Kos means? And is it pronounced kos with and ‘ah’ sound or kos with an ‘o’ sound? I heard it pronounced both ways on O’Reilly.

* Perhaps most importantly – and, yes, this likely explains why the above questions will never be asked -- if the Daily Kos has become the most influential liberal blog in the world, when the sort of garbage you've seen above is an important part of the blog, what does it say about the state of mainstream liberalism?

Most importantly, it says to me that the democrats are willing to do and say anything and support any group that they think can help them get into power or retain power. It doesn't matter how nutty or dangerous that group is. What matter to the democrats is the amount of influence, no matter how negative, that those blogs or groups have.

And, again, the end justifies the means, which puts this country in real danger of being ruled by the most radical of ideologies.

We can't just sit by and allow that kind of extremism to overtake and destroy the greatest country that ever existed. The democrats, especially the presidential candidates need to be held accountable for supporting any such group. But then again, the democratic party leaders are like-minded when it comes to those far-left blogs or groups. The democrats are not following those blogs or groups, they are leading and encouraging those groups. That's what Bill O'Reilly fails to understand and most of the rest of America. If we don't understand today's democratic party, then we might as well say "RIP America".

For me, the most interesting aspect of the KOS-ification of the Democrats is their tacit acceptance of political extremism in a time of war. The willingness of "serious" Democrat candidates for President to ally themselves with people who openly agitate for US military defeat and the overthrow of our government has occurred before: specifically in 1972. The result was a 49-state blowout of George McGovern by the hated Richard Nixon.

The Republicans have been handed a gift here, but require a candidate willing and able to make use of it, and that person has not yet emerged. As in '72, the news media will be of no help whatsoever to the Republican candidate; whoever the ultimate Democrat candidate will be, it will take a relentless campaign to reveal the sort of people with whom that person has associated, and the danger they pose to the safety and security of our nation. And it is all the more vital for Republicans to act, as the stakes are a wee bit higher today than they were 35 years ago.

It was disgusting when people on the Left openly rooted for the Viet Cong. How much more disgusting is it to watch them today rooting for al Qaeda?

"But do I still support the individual men and women who have given so much to serve their country? No. I think they’re a bunch of idiots. I also think they’re morally retarded. Because they sign a contract that says they will kill whoever you tell me to kill. And that is morally retarded." -- AWhitneyBrown

Does anybody remember this mental midget from Saturday Night Live? He appeared on Weekend Update doing a lame commentary called The Big Picture back in the 80s.

Dear A.(we know what "A." stands for , don't we?),

If not for the military personnel that you impugn, your freedom to sneer at them would not exist. Gee, I wonder how your kind of middle school insults would have gone over with the Third Reich? Or the the Politburo? Because of those who are willing to give all for their country, even unfunny, mewling saps like you retain the freedom to speak your mind.

And let's face it... if the likes of you were actually in control, those of us who disagree with you would lose that right in a heartbeat. You would label it "hate speech" and destroy those who believe in actual free speech. You're all the same on the Left: self-righteous hypocrites who whine about your rights while doing everything in your power to deny them to others.

Thank God (would reference to God remain legal if you had control, A.?), soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines don't agree with you and are willing to lay down their lives even for pasty simps like you who hold them in contempt, but couldn't carry their jockstraps on the best day of their lives.

I predict the day will come when you will cry for the military to save your sorry a$$ from those who would attack our nation. I hope those brave souls still exist at that time and have not been so discouraged by your smirking hatred that they haven't just walked away.

Worst regards, Doc Thorne

In fairness to the site (like how the media attacks FR unjustly), there are plenty of contrary replies to that video by liberals at Kos to A. Whitney Brown's commentaries. You can allow people to post things at your site for the reason that you also allow people to call those people out for what they wrote and you can feel that you are being fair and you'd be correct. Brown isn't saying things like Bush should be assassinated or whatever.

Yes, Daily Kos is far more powerful than MoveOn.org could ever dream of being.
MoveOn.org is nothing but a little pissant compared to Daily Kos.

The subscribers and posters there (kos) are 60' Radical wannabe's....

Basically, just against EVERYTHING (anti-establishment, anti-Constitution as intended, and anti-rules).

As far as their founder's views:

"My heroes are Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero, Cesar Chavez"....(quote from Markos Moulitsas Zúniga)

Anything to make money, and enough nutcases in this world to think they have the Utopian Socilaist answer via their ignorance of reality and responsiblity to keep him in a capitalist endeavor while espousing socialism.

'Nuff said.
