Please tell me if you can, who BELIEVES the crap that's being posted over there at Daily Kos? WHO????

New on-line comic strip based upon the KOS kids in their true state. It's a take off on the short series of comics by Marvel. I think this strip has possibilities. I don't know if it will be updated as frequently as Day By Day by Chris Muir which is one of my favorite on line political comics. This new strip is worth take a look at by following the link above. I think the image of Markos is pretty accurate. Nice images of the KOS related sites/people: TPM, Democratic Underground and I think the forth is a woman who...

I know this is vain, but I feel so good that I just got zotted by DailyKos. My half-life was exactly one post, one response.

Oh, that is rich. That is precious. Hey, stop me if you heard this one before-- It's funny. It's funny because it's true. What, you don't get it? Well nothing's funny if you analyze it to death. I have a screencap, too, for when they inevitably yank it. Don't question their patriotism, though. And don't question the patriotism of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Keith Olbermann and other assorted Koz Kidz, either. Thanks to DP.

Ok.... I know the DUmmie Funnies is the usual outlet for this, but this example of LIBERAL DERANGEMENT SYNDROME is just too damn funny to let pass! This is an article on KOS titled: "It's not that Obama's not fighting back. IT'S THE FASCIST MEDIA!!!" You need to understand this. Obama is fighting back. Biden is fighting back. We're all fighting back. They go to hundreds of events. They make countless jabs at McCain, Palin and Bush. If you get the chance to watch their events, you will see Obama and Biden whoop McCain's ass all over the place. Except...

The liberal blogosphere — which usually erupts with ad hominem attacks on the messenger whenever it is subject to the mildest, even-handed criticisms — has been eerily silent since last week’s revelation that MyDD.com founder and DailyKos ally Jerome Armstrong is the subject of a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation for allegedly taking money to promote a stock on a prominent online bulletin board.

You’ve got to give liberals one thing: If they’re nothing else, they’re consistent about spewing garbage, thereby proving that those who make a religion of politics and gods of politicians will lie any lie, hiss any hypocrisy, sell out any mother, and Sister Souljah any principle if they believe doing so might earn them a scrap of political power. That thought comes to mind because no sooner had I finished writing that Governor Palin must prepare herself to bear “the worst slings and arrows of outrageous presidential politics” than, like everyone else, I found myself up to my nose in...

Oh noes! Palin is terroist! Daily Kos: Palin’s AIP group has terroists [sic] ties. "I just obtained this info. and need help getting it to go viral. AIP Is not a harmless group. It seems that they are tied to terrorist. Please help this go viral. If this was a Dem. Candidate, this would be on the msm 24/7. The scoop below the fold." Wait a minute! I thought the official Daily Kos talking point was that Al Qaeda is no threat at all? You have to wonder if there’s a point where these morons are embarrassed by the sheer...

Nutcase bloggers will have to find another smear against Sarah Palin … again. Did you hear that Todd Palin’s former business partner tried to get his divorce records sealed? Conspiracy theorists immediately began speculating on line that Sarah Palin — that vixen! — must have had an affair and broken up the marriage. Why else would the partner suddenly act to seal his records? As the Smoking Gun discovered, Scott Richter wanted them sealed — to protect himself from conspiracy theorists: --------------------- So when the blogosphere discovered today (via an online court docket) that Scott Richter, a Palin associate, personally...

Just thought that the head koskid should have the courtesy of getting the proper reviews for his latest book. http://www.amazon.com/Taking-System-Radical-Change-Digital/dp/0451225198/ref=cm_cr-mr-title

The Kos: “Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor” Oh we get it Kos. So Palin is Pilate and THE ONE is Jesus. Right. Which proves why the devil is a lousy theologian. Fact is that Jesus wasn’t anything of the kind. True he was called a “rabble rouser, drunkard, glutton and friend of sinners”, but he was never accused of, nor worked as a community organizer. In fact his followers then we anxious at the fact that he seemed totally disinterested at the “social ills” of his time, speaking of a world to come and...

I have to admit, at first there I was pretty angry. Outraged. Infuriated. Spitting-bullets mad. I'm talking of course about the vile attacks against Governor Sarah Palin by the Left and their willing accomplices in the Media. Never have I seen such scurrilous, contemptible, despicable gutter tactics. But now I have moved past that stage of rage and taken on an attitude of gratitude. Yes, GRATITUDE! Let's THANK the Looney Left, as exemplified and led by Head KOmmie KOs, for their beyond-the-pale, sexist, hypocritical, personal smears of Governor Palin and her children. THANX, Head KOmmie KOs! You have KOntributed...

I read through the scandalous posts on Daily Kos, Huffington Post and DU today. Let us not behave like these animals!!! During my formative years, I was bullied badly. My family was great! The public school did nothing. I turned to God and went to every church service in my town. It gave make hope and peace so much that today I go into every church I find love. Please DO NOT turn us into them!!!!!! I turned my life around from abuse to amazing friendship by living by the Golden Rule. They will DESTROY THEMSELVES through their anger, hate,...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The blogs are alive with the sound of Sarah. Republican candidate John McCain's staffers may deplore the online rumor mill that forced them to announce the pregnancy of newly minted running mate Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter. But experts have some perhaps unwelcome advice: Get used to it. "It used to be that a rumor would float across your desk and you'd say, 'That's just so outrageous we're not even going to respond to it,'" said Republican strategist Todd Harris, a former McCain spokesman. "But nowadays you really have to push back forcefully against almost every single bit...

When Markos Moulitsas saw that one of the contributors to his liberal blog was accusing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin of lying about her 4-month-old baby, he was a bit skeptical. "I feel a little weird about the questions being asked," he says. "But I also feel a little weird about saying, 'Shut up, people.' It takes a lot for me to step in and squash what's on Daily Kos." In less than 48 hours, the allegations by a Kos diarist known as ArcXIX ricocheted into the mainstream media, when John McCain's designated running mate announced Monday that her 17-year-old daughter...

PROOF THAT OBAMA DELAGATES KNEW ABOUT BRISTOL, according to a contributor/blogger at obama's official site

How mean, how low can a partisan stoop? Mean enough to humiliate a 17-year-old girl at the time she needs sympathy and understanding. Low enough to bruise the broken heart of a girl's mother and to mock a father's affection. Within minutes after John McCain introduced Sarah Palin as his running mate, the blog sites on the sleaziest margins of the Democratic left went to work on the deconstruction of the lady of the far north.....[ snip ] But resentment from the left boiled into rage when they learned that not only did Mrs. Palin oppose abortion as a matter...

Obama author Andy Martin says smears are an integral part of any Barack Obama/David Axelrod operation. Martin says Obama controls a sophisticated network of left-wing bloggers and mainstream media dupes.

We are pleased to announce that Sen. John Edwards, Sen. Barack Obama, and Gov. Bill Richardson confirmed their participation in a Presidential Leadership Forum to be held August 4 in Chicago. Confirmations from other candidates are forthcoming. The event—the first ever collaborative presidential forum with both a respected blogger and a leading member of the traditional media as moderators—is an opportunity to use technology to empower citizens to engage and evaluate America's potential leaders, both face-to-face and online. Many political candidates, including Edwards and Obama, already frequently use sites like Daily Kos to dialogue with the public.

We noted the nutroots’ deepening Palin Derangement Syndrome over the weekend, topped by a diarist at the Daily Kos who’s been spreading disgusting, bottom-of-the-barrel rumors — picked up by the excitable and shameless Andrew Sullivan — about Gov. Sarah Palin’s youngest child and attacking one of Palin’s daughters as the mother of Trig. The Free Republic fights back with photos of a very pregnant Gov. Palin in late February. I linked to an April blog post from an airline passenger who met the pregnant governor on a flight from Fairbanks. It is unbelievably surreal that this dirtbag Kossack rumor has...

Look at the video. Morons at Daily Kos now suggest sexual appeal between McCain and Palin and imply this was the reason she was chosen ! Here is the line of DK added to the linked video : "You know, there was a time when he didn't stare at an ass for five and a half years..." Outrageous liberal pigs. Stand to them !

Wirh the leftist fringe attacking Governor Sarah Palin, her Down Syndrome Baby and her innocent teenaged daughter, I thought I'd post an update. Here are some of the updates on the ignorant, hatemongering story that Gov. Palin "faked" her pregnancy that I have been keeping up with. (I was going to say "keeping abreast" with, but...) Update #2- One Woman's Eyewitness Account of Pregnant Palin All the speculation on whether Governor Palin was pregnant is easily put to rest by the eyewitness account of Elizabeth Eubanks from April 29 of this year. Eubanks was in an airport in Fairbanks waiting...

It was to be expected that the left wing smear machine would go into overdrive upon the announcement of Governor Palin as John McCain's veep nomination. What was not expected was how unbelievably low they would be willing to go. Several lefty outlets including Daily Kos and Democratic Underground that are running with the smear saying that Governor Palin's youngest son

Bloggers here and here ] are all over the theory that Sarah Palin's four-month-old baby may actually be her grandchild - the son of her 16-year-old daughter, who missed most of the last school year with what the family said was mononucleosis. [ snip ] My first thought is that this sort of scrutiny has to be really hard on the 16-year-old girl in question. And my second thought was that IF this turns out to be true, I'll find it a really scary example - perhaps the most scary example of anything I've seen in a long time -...

As I reported earlier, the scurrilous claim that McCain vice presidential pick Governor Sarah Palin faked her pregnancy with a Down's Syndrome child is beginning to spread among the lowest of the nutrooters. Now, the unhinged, smear site DemocraticUnderground.com has boosted this lie to their front pages. Naturally, since these hate sites feed into each other, the spurious source of the DU story is another DailyKos story like the one I earlier reported upon. Of course, this whole meme is nothing but a lie. Are we expected to believe an entire state, its hospitals, doctors and media establishment helped cover...

Taking a look at the stories in the Old Media will show that the Media is turning attack dog ASAP on McCain's choice for vice president, Sarah Palin. Notice the main meme is her supposed "inexperience." Funny how Palin was the VP pick for about 15 seconds before the Old Media went after her "inexperience" while they have yet to hit Barry Obama on HIS inexperience at all and he's been running for president since 2004. We should also note that Palin didn't get the honeymoon that Biden got when his announcement was made. But, the worst is yet to...

Two McCain offices evacuated after letter threat Thu Aug 21, 2008 8:45pm EDT By Keith Coffman DENVER (Reuters) - Two offices of John McCain's U.S. presidential campaign, in Colorado and New Hampshire, were evacuated on Thursday, and several staffers were hospitalized, after threatening or suspicious envelopes arrived in the mail, one with an unidentified white powder. The first parcel, described as containing an unspecified threat and a powdery white substance, was opened by a staff member at the campaign's Centennial, Colorado, office, near Denver, at about 3 p.m. local time, U.S. Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley said.

There's been a ton of buzz on the web for the last day or so -- beginning with this Daily Kos diary -- suggesting that John McCain patterned his story about a Vietamese captor drawing a cross in the dirt before him on a similar episode from Russian novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn's time in the Soviet gulags. But it turns out that this episode probably never happened to Solzhenitsyn at all, and according to a Solzhenitsyn biographer it appears nowhere in his published writing. Columbia University professor Michael Scammell, the author of Solzhenitsyn: A Biography, says the episode "never happened," and...

This is absolutely crazy and amusing. Some daily kossacks were so upset over 'The Obama Nation', they went to Costco and attempted to hide the books from being seeing by shoppers. Here's what I found on dailykos. In the last election cycle, the CEO of Costco, Jim Sinegal and the Chairman of the Board, Jeffrey Brotman gave generously to progressive causes. I didn't think I would walk into one of their stores to find a copy of "The Obama Nation." My wife and I took action, and turned every copy of the book over so nobody would see the cover....

Apparently, netroots are excited about the lastest buzz of John Kerry as Obama’s VP, I compiled some quotes from dailykos for entertainment purpose. Kerry got the 2nd most votes for Prez EVER, 59 million votes., More than Gore, Clinton, even Reagan ever got, I think we ought to consider this That means nothing. The population is growing. He lost to the worst President in the history of the world. That's enough to DQ him for life, plus 20 years. The population didn't grow by 20% in 4 years . That is the increase between votes for Gore in 2000 and...

ABC News' Jennifer Parker reports: Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of former Sen. John Edwards has reacted to the news of her husband's affair, posting a blog titled "Today" on the liberal Daily Kos website and asking for privacy for her family. In the blog, Elizabeth Edwards says her husband told her about the affair in 2006 and they worked through it. "This was our private matter," she writes. She heaps blame on the news media for prying into her family's life, writing, "the toll on our family of news helicopters over our house and reporters in our driveway is yet...

Israel Insider is reporting that analysts working separately have determined the birth certificate posted on the Daily Kos website and later on Sen. Barack Obama's "Fight the Smears" campaign website is fraudulent, and now two different actions have been launched to try and obtain the truth about the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's birth. The Israel Insider report said the two analysts it interviewed both have been "able to independently discern the name 'Maya Kassandra Soetoro' from artifacts left behind in the process of forging a new fake document for Barack from an image of Maya's original document." Maya is Obama's...

Digg this The John Edwards/Rielle Hunter story continues to, as they say, develop. You might even say it’s gestating. Whether the “legitimate” news likes it or not: Lee Stranahan, who posted the first (only?) serious, thoughtful analysis of the whole mess at the Huffington Post, has been banned from the Daily Kos for daring to talk about it there. Some Wikipedians keep trying to add the forbidden name “Rielle Hunter” to thoroughly relevant entries, and other Wikipedians keep taking it out. In the Wiki entry for the 1988 Jay McInerney novel Story of My Life, one brave soul has added...

Barack Obama may be on a world tour surrounded by a fawning media, but Sunday an expert in electronic document forensics released a detailed report on the purported birth certificate -- actually a "Certification of Live Birth" or COLB -- claimed as genuine by his campaign. The expert concludes with 100% certainty that it is a crudely forged fake: "a horribly forgery," according to the analysis published on the popular right-wing Atlas Shrugs blog. The purported Certification of Live Birth published by the Daily Kos left wing blog and claimed as genuine by the Obama campaign features a security border...

There are three facts about Internet blog stories that you need to know: Plagiarism is rampant on the Internet. You cannot always believe what you see and read.When you see the word, "EXCLUSIVE," in the title, it does not mean that the story was the first one or even the only one. You can imagine my chagrin when I read the following headline in the Atlasshruggs blog: ATLAS EXCLUSIVE: FINAL REPORT ON OBAMA BIRTH CERTIFICATE FORGERY CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE INWhat this headline, and the story it trumpets, confirm is that all three of the "facts" listed above are validated...

I approached the Netroots Nation conference in Austin, Texas, last week thinking in generational terms. I felt old at 52 as I imagined joining this conference of over 2,000 progressive bloggers and blog-watchers as one of its older and least technologically competent attendees. Certainly, my sessions made it wonderfully clear that there is a powerful force in American political and cultural life coming from the generation 10 to 30 years younger than I. But the movement of progressive bloggers is quite diverse. Both genders. All ages. More white than not, but people of color involved in all events, and sessions...

Many of us have taken to calling the media establishment the "MSM," or "Mainstream Media." But is that a fair and properly descriptive monicker to bestow upon them? A New York Times Blogger pondered that very question on July 21 in a "The Caucus" blog entry -- one that was a barely disguised effort to highlight and advertise the opinion of one Markos Moulitsas of the DailyKos. Still, regardless of the origin of the question, it is an interesting point to ponder. With the failing of newspapers country wide, with the ever falling audience that the big three TV networks...

The Austin American-Statesman caved to pressure from the Daily Kos-Netroots Nation and pulled an article from the newspaper's website that poked fun at the liberal convention being held in Austin last weekend.The article, entitled Gore's Surprise Visit Highlights Netroots Conference was published on the front page of Sunday's paper.It was written by feature writer, Patrick Beach--meaning the article was not a straight news piece (think Dana Milbank.)Greg Mitchell, a writer for Editor & Publisher who blogs at the Daily Kos attended the conference as a panel speaker.He brought attention to the article by posting about it the Daily Kos. Mitchell...

Gore's surprise visit highlights Netroots conference Former vice president speaks at Austin convention for liberal bloggers. By Patrick Beach AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF Sunday, July 20, 2008 Name-dropping Al Gore and his call for a switch to clean, renewable energy within 10 years was enough to pull whoops of approval from the 2,000 or 3,000 marauding liberals gathered for Netroots Nation at the Austin Convention Center on Saturday morning. So when the former vice president and Nobel Prize co-winner made a surprise — and cleverly scripted — appearance during U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's talk, it looked like the conference might turn...

It appears the Socialist do have a use for the religious community, to help spread the word of the new religion. Pelosi at Netroots Nation Convention: Pelosi said she supports that effort and is working with evangelical activists on the common goals of protecting the environment and helping the poor. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080719/D921518O0.html San Joaquin Valley Air pollution control district Healthy Air Living Program: But to achieve the success we know is possible, we need to build strong alliances with some new participants, such as faith-based organizations. This natural overlap with good stewardship of the Earth and caring about air quality has...

Two years ago we here at DUmmie FUnnies documented the first annual KOmmie KOnvention (held in Las Vegas), "YearlyKos"--AKA "Blogolapalooza," because politicans like Mark Warner wined and dined the prog bloggers with chocolate fountains and ice sculptures at a Stratosphere party, in order to gain their support. Well, this year we travel to Austin, Texas, for the YearlyKos, now called, "Netroots Nation." There are MULTITUDINOUS THREADS on this in KOmmieland--you can go there and use the tag, "netroots nation 2008" to find them all. There's even a separate Netroots Nation website, with agenda, speakers, registration info, etc. There are...

With a registration fee of about $500 it was clear that no riff-raff need apply. Discussions with attendees put that in context and explained the need for so much big-money sponsorship. The attendees were largely hand-picked, with their entry and expenses underwritten by various groups in the form of paid 'scholarships' to enable them to attend. Naturally, that meant that there was a selection process in play where scholarships were directed to the most influential and most loyal partisans, giving them the opportunity to make contacts and take advantage of the extensive learning opportunities offered at the conference. Netroots Nation...

So House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is about 40-odd minutes into her "Ask the Speaker" session Saturday at the Netroots Nation confab here in Austin,TX and about to field a question about energy and the environment, when she says she's got to call a friend. Offstage is heard the voice of Al Gore. No, wait he's actually here and the Netrootsters in the airline hangar sized hall greeted him with a nearly a minute long standing O. It was like a surprise guest showing up to jam at a Bridge School Benefit Concert. -- if you're a political geek, which we...

Al Gore steals the show at Netroots By Lilly Rockwell | Saturday, July 19, 2008, 11:01 AM Former Vice President Al Gore stole the show from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s fireside policy chat at the Netroots Nation conference in Austin on Saturday. Pelosi spent 45 minutes talking about abortion rights, efforts to bring the troops back from Iraq and why she didn’t think the Senate version of the FISA bill was appropriate. Some questions seemed to take her off guard, such as when one audience member asked about care packages being sent to troops, and if Congress should pass a...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Howard Dean, Markos Moulitsas of Daily Kos, and former White House security adviser Richard Clarke are among the keynote speakers at the Yearly Kos convention in Autin, Texas now called the Netroots Nation event. The event will include training in how to recruit volunteers, looking and sounding good on TV and getting media exposure. A convention of conservative bloggers called RightOnline will feature nationally known blogger Michelle Malkin and columnist Robert Novak as headline speakers will be across town Friday & Saturday.

When Netroots Nation organizers were considering New Orleans as the host site of their convention devoted to the Internet as an instrument of the political left, Texas Netroots members made a convincing case that Texas is at the center of the blogging culture driving the political discussion for liberals. In an online vote conducted by Netroots Nation, a Web site for liberal bloggers to exchange ideas, the nation overwhelmingly chose Austin for this year's conference, said Vince Leibowitz, a blogger from Tyler. So on Thursday, more than 3,000 bloggers are expected to fill the Austin Convention Center for the four-day...

"Goebbels With Better Hair"By Ben JohnsonFrontPageMagazine.com | 7/14/2008 When I referenced Tony Snow last Friday as one example of the Left’s death wish against itstheir enemies, I had no idea he would be dead before the weekend was over. Snow served as the model for all future White House spokesmen, in addition to his accomplishments as a television journalist. His loss saddens everyone at FrontPage Magazine. Unfortunately, it has gladdened the hearts of many on the Left. An L.A. Times editor approved hateful comments on Snow’s obituary. CNN’s iReport quickly filled with bile. However, the left-wing “alternate media” (so named...

In a rambling interview with the Daily Kos -- the blog site that published the supposedly authentic Barack Hussein Obama birth certificate and his own birth certificate manipulations in the same June 12 post, Jay McKinna, aka opendna, says he manipulated the Obama birth certificate to create a blank Hawaii birth certificate as a "template," supposedly for a John McCain birth certificate. But he says it was not an attempt at deception but a "lame joke" that he now regrets. But in trying to avoid legal trouble by diminished the significance of manipulating electronic images, he further undermines the explicit...

When I first seen this title on another post today ( "Daily Kos Founder: No Dough for O") questions popped into my mind as to Why he would he NOT be supporting Obama? This led me to question if he didn't support him why did they publish Obama's birth certificate on his site? Was it to 'help' Obama with his origin issues or was it to start a firestorm over his eligibility to hold the office of president? The document has been proven to be fraudulent by members of Free Republic even though it hasn't been a topic on the...
