Yet another case of the Demoncrats running to the person doing the victory dance early -- Markos has yet to produce anything but gas and glare.
....soooooooo what dance was Markos doing back in November, genius?

I felt the same way, like the Nazi Party is alive and well....those are the ones who would send us to the Gas Chambers if they got a chance....Thank God we're armed!
Over/under on this guy attacking a Democrat for being anti-death penalty in the next week is 50-50.

That is not forgetfulness, that is the Dem 2008 strategy - there is no WOT.
This if course is even worse than insanity, it's direct support of the terrorist enemy. Can you imagine Ahmadegenerate's and Zawa the Hut's glee watching the Democratic 'debates'? Democrats are way beyond unpatriotic, they're dangerous.
My bumper sticker: "Support terrorism, vote Democrat".
LMFAO--listen, douchebag, do us all a favor and go say that on national TV. We can always use another screencap of a wild-eyed half-literate nutcase spouting discredited bullshit.
Do us another favor and put that fucking crap on your car....has it dawned on you imbeciles that the country is sick of the F.U.D. yet? Has it occured to you fucking sycophantic lickspittle wannabe-fascists that the country has heard no shortage of "support terrorism, vote Democrat [sic]" over the last six years and despite that still voted in the Democrats in November?
Evidently not....

After watching the 5+ minutes of video it's fairly obvious why someone as creepy as Kos keeps himself behind a keyboard and not on camera. Others have mentioned the eyes and lips but not the effeminate waving of arms and other mannerisms that make Kos difficut to not only listen to but watch.
Simply put, the guy is a fraud with a forked tongue. No one should wish for Kos to drive the Democrats into oblivion with him, then we're left with nothing more than a one-party state, which no one who is serious about either America or our constitutional republic could possibly wish for.
Hubris is the only thing that will destroy Kos. We see it everytime he's backed into a corner and it will eventually be his downfall.
BTW, I'm interested in why Dick Gregory didn't ask Kos about his relationship with Jerome Armstrong of MyDD, who recently paid a large fine for stock manipulation.
They're going to ban this guy, cause he must be the only there who doesn't say he wants a one-party state.
And I guess he missed the whole segment where Kos said "this isn't about me."

I'm guessing the reason Mr. "Screw Them" hates the military so much is because he got accused of being gay 24/7 when he was enlisted. I can't say I blame them.

One of Kos's last statements is telling, when he tells Ford ",,, you're the last holdout". . He's basically saying to Ford, "join us, or we'll throw you under the bus just like we did to Lieberman and Sheehan when they were'nt useful to us anymore"
Must be the pick of the litter here....he's pretty much right....Kos' whole message is lead, follow, or get out of the way. I don't see anything wrong with that. Sheehan is tilting at windmills and Lieberman is officially not a Democrat any more. Ford (and the DLC) are in the way cause they want us to reach out to people like the ones that populate LGF.

Remember, though, it would be a huge boost to Ford, just like markos molitos singlehandily helped Joe Leiberman win a landslide election against the Kos pet, Ned Lamont.
You'd think the leftist kook Democrats would notice, that the Kos, singlehandidly, helped Joe Leiberman win his election, in a landslide.
I'm glad they don't ever learn, it means certain defeat for whomever the Kos endorses, even if in his own mind, he thinks he's some kind of legend.
As far as I'm concerned, his freedom isn't worth fighting for.
Lieberman (I) 50
Lamont (D) 40
Schlesinger (R) 10
Not a landslide.
Plus, Lieberman now is a Party of One--literally. Plus, Lamont's primary win moved the national conversation on the war forward significantly.
The "Markos the loser" meme wasn't ever true (it goes back to the Kos Dozen), but again I'm amazed that these people seem to have been on Mars when the election in 2006 happened. Think Jon Tester or Jim Webb would have even made it through the primary without the netroots?
And as for that last bit, good thing his freedom isn't your fucking concern.

It just shows their desperation.
They think that somehow the million or so people who hang out at Kos, are going to make a difference, and the truth is, they do make a difference, just ask Joe Leiberman, who the Kos singlehandidly helped sweep into office.
I love it when these idiots fail, as they always have, and as they always will.
For the love of everythign holy, you've got to put down the fucking Magic Marker, the rubber cement, the gasoline, whatever, cause it's starting to show....Lieberman was a three-term incumbent when Lamont ran against him. Lieberman didn't "sweep into office" in 2006, he ran for Vice fucking President (very poorly I might add) in 2000, and six years later a no-name beat him in the primary.

Its not about substance for the Democrats. Its about "hair", its about appearances. Markos may sound dumb, nut-rooty tutti, inconsistent, & lies through his teeth, but it matters not to the party who dared not mention Islamofascism at their presidential debate.
To be a democrat today, one either only gets their news from the MSM, or is in denial so deep, they're comatose when it comes to substantial issues of the day.
Funny, how come the physical appearance of a candidate is only ever relevant when it's a Democrat?
And yeah, Islamofascism. I've never understood how AQ et al are "fascist". "Totalitarian," maybe, but "Islamototalitarian" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. So I guess it makes sense from a marketing perspective, but that doesn't mean it makes any fucking sense....

Unfortunatly, KOS (and his ilk) consider that just getting Lieberman to NOT run as the Dem candidate in that race proves to them that they are the real power in the DEM decision making process. That Lieberman, as an indie, won the actual election is immaterial to them. Thier "victory" was having Lamont as THE Dem standard bearer in that election
In a sense, this is correct....but the only reason Lieberman won is cause the Republicans abandoned their own candidate in the race. Lamont (the Democrat) outpolled Schlesinger (the Republican) 4-1. If the party leadership not gone all weak in the knees, Lamont would have won that race.
Lamont also took a (well-deserved) vacation after the primary, which turned out to be a very bad idea.

BTW, I have nothing against gay people, and I think, as a rule, gay people respect my unique qualities aka personality defects.
I read Randy Andy "The Bareback Queen" Sullivan religiously, back when he was an eloquent defender of anti-idiotarianism.
I enjoy Queen and Judas Priest music, and even sort of liked the Culture Club, in a guilty pleasure sort of way, back in the 80s.
Why, some of my best friends are gay....

BTW a key term he uses in the first couple of minutes (handy for those with the weak stomachs) is "authentic" -- we want a candidate who is "authentic."
That, my friends, is a leftist/post-modernist buzz word. It derives from the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, infamous for his remarks in his lectures when he took over as Rector of the University of Freiburg, when he praised the "inner truth and greatness" of National Socialism.
The basic principle is an attack on modernity. The modern world imposes on human beings "inauthentic" points of view. Society, and above all bourgeois capitalism, "forces" us to adopt ways of thinking that go against our natural desires, and hence, contrary to our "authentic" interests. We must therefore shed all of these "outward" forms, all the "false consciousness" which bourgeoise society forces on us. To achieve "authenticity" involves a kind of quasi-divine revelation, the ability to see things as they "really" are, not simply as they appear. This requires making a radical break with convention, rejecting all of the "modern" categories of reason, self-interest, individualism, etc. Ultimately, the "authentic" is concerned with the good of the whole: as most post-modernists define it, it is self-consciously a-logical and anti-individualist.
You can see where this is going -- "authentic" means "politically and socially radical." It also means "charismatic," "transgressive," and in the most extreme sense, "messianic."
Long ago Gershom Scholem (Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism, and in an essay, "Redemption through Sin") recognized this kind of political thinking as a modern, secular manifestation of mysticism. The mystic believes he can, through his own will and desire (key -- not reason) achieve unmediated experience of the Divine, i.e., the Truth. In Heideggarian thought, the truly enlightened one is able to do the same, but what they see is philosophic Truth (no God in their world).
This is a dangerous (if not deranged) way of thinking. Shorthand, though, whenever you hear "authentic," think "Das Volk."
This is an excerpt from a much longer thesis written in crayon.

I saw a great lecture by an african american professor on booktv, what he basically said was why do blacks continually vote democrat, he asked why blacks dont at least try voting republican, he asked why a decade after the rodney king riots are buildings still burned out in compton. What would be the worst outcome of voting republican, they might actually do something for blacks?
its nothing more than a carry over of the plantation mentality, the democrats are modern day slave owners, why parade a few black candidates to prove just how progressive they really are.

The really funny thing about this statement is that until the Civil Rights movement of the 60's the entire voting South was almost universally Democratic. The GOP was the party of Lincoln & Reconstruction. White Southerners voted Democrat across the board for 100 years. Of course very few Black Southerners voted......
And now that they do, they vote for the party that has always historically been the party of apartheid.

nota bene says:
The "Markos the loser" meme wasn't ever true
Wow, talk about being disassociated with reality.
What's the official Markos endorsed candidates record now? 2 for 17.
The Kos Dozen candidates were specifically selected because of their long shot status. Those candidates received help from the Internet that they weren't going to get from the national party, because at the time they bought into the DLC ideology of only competing in battleground races. Howard Dean, Kos, Armstrong, Trippi, everybody who's made up this movement have argued that we need to compete everywhere--hence the 50-state strategy. Dean was roundly criticized by people like Harold Ford for doing this, but hey--who won in November 2006?
We don't have to win all those races--sometimes, all we need to do is pin down a Republican candidate who might otherwise coast to victory and raise funds for other Republican candidates in much closer races. In 2006, we involved people in states like Mississippi for possibly the first time on the Democratic side. We made gains in what the CW says is supposed to be YOUR territory: the Deep South, the Mountain West, among gun owners, evangelicals, suburbanites, you name it. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, there wasn't one single D incumbent who lost a seat nationwide. That's a landslide.
Once again--look up Jon Tester, Geepers. Look up Jim Webb. Mike Stark plaed a huge role in sinking the racist George Allen, who would've been running for President from that Senate seat he lost to Webb.
Yet again, after it's been pointed out to them, they don't seem to have digested the fact that the Democrats won both Houses of Congress back in 2006.
