  •  Kos (3.85 / 7)

    Kos, we love you, and you don't have to prove it to any of us.  I read the site during Fall 2003, knew that you were working in some capacity for the Dean campaign, and didn't think twice of it.  Anyone else who was here would say the exact same thing, and we've all got your back.

    Has anyone in the media called to ask, even some vague question about this?  I mean, just wondering.

    Right on, Dr. Dean.

        In this case? If you say so.

        Seriously, I would go on the warpath for Markos, and he doesn't even know me.  This crap is ridiculous, and it's just the same old crap- yelling loudly about someone else so no one points the spotlight on you.

        I'm talking about you, Novak/O'Reilly/WSJ/Insty.  Chickenshit bastards.

        •  It happens continuously (4.00 / 2)

          Taking the heat off the real issues and Armstrong.

          They need the distraction, confusion and misinformation. Goebbels remember. Hit em back hard but don't spend all your time and effort on defense. As the saying goes: Best defense is offense!

          It's an opportunity offered, the KOS is taken serious -- as it should.

          •  Distractions (4.00 / 3)

            Absolutely: dailyKos is getting "Free Media" attention;

            The curious are connecting online to see what's up with dailyKos.com;

            But what do we have on the Front Page?

            Crap about the non-story.

            Please, kos, et. al., if you're still reading this thread, at least put the Armstrong Williams illeagal subsidy on the site.

            Thank you Armando; eveeryone else: GET BACK ON MESSAGE !!!

            •  I aggree (none / 1)

              Stop making a story out of a non story and concentrate the illegal actions of Armstron Williams, and the others out there who are being paid by taxpayers money to spread the White House's propaganda ..

              Thats the real story, How many " others " are there, and who are they ?

        •  I hope (none / 1)

          if they talk about Kos on the Sunday shows they at least have him on to defend himself.  A bunch of rightwingers talking about unethical Kos is just laughable.

          They picked the wrong person to go after in this case.  Kos can defend himself, and we'll be watching, and we send letters.

        •  same old trick (4.00 / 2)

          Kos,

          It's the political world of tit for tat, which the Republicans (and we ) have mastered.

          The fact is, people didn't even know what BLOGS were in 2003, at least most people didn't.  So it's not surprising O'Reilly hadn't heard of this information, since he probably hadn't even read a blog in 2003.

          Frankly I think this means that blogs have entered the mainstream, that they are "hurting" the conservatives, which means they will become a target.

          However, I think readers of blogs are a)more perceptive  b)more loyal than casual television news watchers(with the exception of Fox loyalists)
          c)well informed  d)willing to research the facts
          and e)uninterested in what Robert Novak or O'Reilly have to say.

          I also think this demonstrates how scared the Republicans are of Howard Dean's candidacy for the DNC.  It's a sideways way of discrediting him as well.  Beware....

          They have gone out of their way to demolish him.
          We should be prepared.

      •  I agree, to a point (none / 1)

        Blogs are wielding a lot of influence.  The fact that they are attacking, trying to discredit, shows their fear of a media they can't control.

      •  Yes - Call them out on their wankery and idiocy (none / 0)

        Like Jon Stewart - he called Crossfire out for hurting America.

        Then, they cancelled Crossfire, as Stewart notes here. Speaking truth to power worked.

      •  Hey Look at the Kerning on That Font! (3.83 / 6)

        I think that disclaimer was produced decades earlier on an IBM Selectric II in some office in Texas.

        Since it was written long before Howard Dean even got his medical degree, let alone ran for office, it cannot be authentic.

        Everyone who posted to this site should be investigated, fired, and sent to Gitmo!

        This nicely summarizes what's wrong with American political life today. (Source)
