Kos Falsely Smears GOP Senator With Leftist Troll's Words

Whether it’s comparisons between the United States and the Soviet Union or George Bush and Saddam Hussein, the far left has always specialized in false moral equivalence.

In the latest example of this, Daily Kos proprietor Markos Moulitsas has been trying to shift the spotlight that’s now being shined on the numerous vulgar and hateful remarks for which his site is famous over to conservative sites, implying that the right is just as full of hate as his followers.

Trouble is, that’s just not the case. As NewsBusters pointed out earlier, left-wing blogs and their commenters are much more likely to use profanity than conservative blogs.

Brushing aside those pesky facts, Moulitsas launched a false attack on Maine senator Susan Collins today implying that “Arthur Frain,” a commenter on Maine Web Report, a site run by her online communications director was speaking for Republicans when he/she wrote the following:

You know what this country needs? Another terrorist attack. Take out SF or some other city full of dirty libs, and then the country will rally behind the GOP for protection.

No way Susan Collins would talk like that, that sounds more like a FReeper.

Actually it’s a left-wing troll.

[Hacklehead]

The more people talk about Kos the more important and influential it becomes. IGNORE IT!

[NeoCaveman]

Actually it’s a left-wing troll.

I should have known. If it was genuine it wouldn't have been "dirty hippies" not "dirty libs"

[ElkGroveDan]

That sounds like a Saturday morning Freeper troll if I’ve ever seen one.

It should be called Daily Qos in FReeper lore. Q not followed by U is usually NUTS (examples: Al-Qaida, Qaddafi, Mossadeq, Qom, and NASDAQ) ;-P

“...dirty libs...”

Redundant.

I’m going to sue that guy for stealing my idea.

[Onelifetogive]

“...dirty libs...”

Classic Heston...

"Get your hands off my money, you damned, dirty libs!"

[avacado]

What a genius that Markos Moulitsas is! He flushed out a left-wing moonbat troll! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"What's the frequency, Markos?"

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Take any repugnant thing that is a conspicuous feature or characteristic of any part of the left, have it come under public scrutiny, and presto! the left immediately attacks the moderate to right as guilty of it and demands that it be stopped.

Leninism?

bump

[Carry_Okie]

I have no doubt that left wing trolls have registered on FR for the specific purpose of posting some outrage and then capturing it.

What a world.

[Aegedius]

On the other hand, the comment on the Kos hate site about gassing Sen. Lieberman was posted by a person with a regular diary, Sharon Jumper, not some drive by troll as was the case here. Google Sharon Jumper and DailyKos.

[Duke Nukum]

dirty smelly hippies

[LowCountryJoe]

Really!? MarKOS a troll slayer?

Troll enabler, perhaps.

[Petronski]

Take out SF or some other city full of dirty libs, and then the country will rally behind the GOP for protection.

That's no Freeper, that's a false-flag troll. A fraud.

Don't forget the Perqi Qaty al-Khouriq.
