Daily Kos Founder’s Breitbart Attack Backfires Big Time
youngcons ^ | september 12, 2015 | Andrew Mark Miller

Markos Moulitsas, the founder of the terrible ultra liberal “news” sites Daily Kos and Vox, took to Twitter on Saturday morning to criticize Breitbart for employing Joshua Ryne Goldberg who was arrested for allegedly plotting to commit a terrorist attack on Friday’s anniversary of 9/11.

Only one problem

Goldberg didn’t actually write for Breitbart.  Not only that, he was a contributor for many left wing sites including the Daily Kos, Moulitsas’ own site.

Here's what breitbart has to say:

Like most well-known journalists I receive hundreds – on some days, thousands – of emails a day from sources, readers, fans and other strangers. I received one such email from a person called Joshua Goldberg who had a long history of provocative, thought-provoking columns on Thought Catalog. I had no reason at the time to think anything was amiss.

Goldberg, we now know, is a troll, a fantasist and a liar with a horrible double life. If the FBI arrest is anything to go by, Goldberg is a deplorable human being. No one knew this before today. He was a prolific and successful troll, even fooling the Times of Israel into posting something under a third party’s name, which that newspaper now calls a “foul, hoax blog.” But he had no input in, or impact on, our Shaun King reporting.

King’s supporters thus rely on the word of a man they themselves are – rightly – lambasting, in order to smear Breitbart‘s reporting. Their argument appears to be that a notorious troll and liar has claimed credit for a Breitbart exclusive; therefore the story must be a hoax. Their reasoning is laughably flawed.

Although Goldberg was in touch with me about Shaun King, like dozens of other people, he was not our source for this story. Blogger Vicki Pate was, as we reported at the time, and we were already in touch with her when Goldberg wrote to me. Goldberg had nothing to add to her research, which is why, by his own admission, I stopped responding to his emails.

Wasn’t one of the Paintball cell jihadists involved with the KOS, or was that just antiwar.com?

Leftists love terrorists which is why obama supported bill ayers and leftists helped the weather underground terrorists.

Typical leftist projection .

Accuracy has never been a strong suit of this POS disguised as journalism.

There's a reason they are nicknamed "kiddies". Grownups are rare there.

Moulitsas needs to slip on a banana peel and fall into a tar pit from a 1000 ft up. Know what I mean?

Don’t fret yourself though, he’s working on that.

I’m guessing he hasn’t denied many men the pleasure of his essence.

He is a classic case of a self hating, leftist Jew who embraced the enemies of his creed. Just like self hating, anti American “liberals” embrace the enemies of their country and masochistic, guilt tripping whites embrace white hating, black radicals.

Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.

Alinsky 101... employ those willing to commit treason; then blame the other guy when they do, doesn’t always work out so well though.

Pretty sure his estrogen keeps that in check.

Doesn’t matter if the accusation is true or not, as long as it is put out there.
