Um...what exactly is a “kos”? A weird animal? Something that’s “halfway kosher”? The Komitet Oblast Subversionists? ;);)

A few weeks ago I was corrected by a liberal associate and was told that the word Kos from the "Daily Kos" is actually new age lingo spelling. The first letter is a phonetic capital "K" and is supposed to be pronounced as "Kay." Therefore the word should be pronounced Kayos as in Chaos.

Go figure.

We should just ignore Kos, it is a cesspit of hate and ignorance that is being validated by the whacko Dems.

Let them all play in their own sh*theap, they’ll come out stinking to high heaven...

When Rush had a much smaller audience than today, he was able to turn Ft. Collins into Colorado’s second largest city. That’s a lot bigger impact than filling a ballroom.

Comparing him to Kos only elevates Kos, which was probably Dionne’s intent in the first place.

Keep in mind that Rush had to work from inferior AM radio at the time, with zero publicity. He completely built a whole new apparatus.

There's no comparison of Rush to Kos, it's like comparing the NFL to the defunct USFL.

the rabid left does seem to be a major mover in US politics... they keep the left from being sensible and the rest of us have to live with it

He's right about this, actually.

So true and he doesn't even know it. How sad for him. How good for us. Them being what they are in front of everyone.

“the rabid left does seem to be a major mover in US politics... they keep the left from being sensible and the rest of us have to live with it”

Actually the Rabid Left is a small fraction of the population. It is the elitist element that exploits these lunatics for their own political agenda that we have to be aware of. They are no different then any minority group.

Lawyers steal from them, politicians treat them like trained seals and they are more then willing to perform for a fish.

These people are too stupid to realize that they already own a fishing pole and the politicians want to take it away from them.
