How DailyKos Helped Dems Attack Bolton

Is DailyKos still on Howard Dean's payroll for positive press?

behaving like a madman


Good, that is what I would want in my UN guy! Someone who is raising hell, half of those guys are child molestors anyway.

Daily"Screw'em"KOS. That about says it all.

[Bahbah]

I've read Townsel's account at least 3 times now, and I never get any details, like what was he shouting at her, why did he care about her in the first place, what did he throw at her, what specific threats did he make, what was said in the "letters" he shoved under her door? Very sparse on the details.

Is DailyKOS now on Howard Dean's DNC payroll for positive press, grins, and giggles?

[Phantom Lord]

I still have yet to find a picture of Townsel. Anyone have one?

Mr. Bolton, of course, then routinely visited me there to pound on the door and shout threats.

I can’t imagine a more ringing endorsement for this particular position.

Imagine the Ambassador from Zimbabwe trying to peacefully share some blow with Kofi in his five-star hotel room while Mugabe is slaughtering hundreds in the streets.

Is this Ms. Melody Townsel??

[jveritas]

Free Republic exposure of President Bush fake National Guard memos finished Dan Rather career.

Daily Kos exposure of Townsell is not going to do anything to John Bolton. He will be confirmed as UN ambassador.

NRO may be giving Daily Kos more credit than what there really is.

Don't let this article get lost in all the others!!

Bump

I think York correctly describes the Daily Kos as "influential". It speaks volumes that that sewer is the type of influence the dem "leadership" values and in fact uses.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Yep. Byron York was on FNC this morning talking about his latest article.

[Mo1]

Townsel, meanwhile, says she is surprised by the turn of events, saying she "didn't feel like we would get any response." But she did, and all because a liberal blog, like conservative websites in earlier controversies involving Dan Rather, Eason Jordan, and others, played a key role in another high-profile fight.

A Lib Blog that was once on HOWARD DEAN'S PAYROLL

And I ain't believing for one minute that a few Dem Congresscritters didn't know about this before hand

But I am glad to see Bryon York picked up the story and the events that followed

The LA Times printed Melody's story the day after it showed up on the Dkos

Well, byron does have a deadline to make, and he has to try keep some contoversy over Bolton's certain approval going, even if that means digging at the bottom of the barrel and giving praise to the moonbat hive called dailykos.

Barbie Boxer herself is a poster at the Dkos

[Howlin]

And there is one other point to be made: the Rather, Eason and other stories were TRUE.

posting and running, bumping to the top for later read

Got your msg Howlin, thanks!
