I started posting here when I heard that Sinclair Broadcasting was going to post the revisionist history of John Kerry's swiftboating experience right before the election.
I googled Sinclair and got a dKospedia page that was so informed and complete. I joined Daily Kos right away and joined the fight to stop the airing. We blocked it successfully. What a rush.
But now I have to leave. I cannot stand what is happening here. Today's front page on Obama was the worst thing I have ever seen here.
It was the worst because it was frontpaged, and it was from kos, himself. There is no sourcing, no description. Just some reader's photoshop depiction. I don't think Obama looks any more or less menacing in any of the pictures, FWIW. In fact, the first picture looks tinted wrong to me.
I want the Dems to win in Novemeber.
I agonized over my choice of whom to vote for in the primary. I stuck up for Hillary and Obama. I rejected the term Hilbots and the term Obama "cultists".
I voted for Obama, but I identify with Hillary. She is no racist. The front page by kos is race-baiting. It doesn't help Obama, and it has the potential to tear the Democrats apart and leave the Republicans laughing their assess off.
I cannot participate anymore. I am going somewhere that discusses issues. Even if it's no farther than my own living room.
I hope that this changes after the primary is over, but I don't expect it to. It feels like it has gone too far.
Goodbye my friends. I will miss you.
[Updated: I realize the change is this site did not happen because of Markos and I don't think he reflects me or my wishes. I know we are the community, but I still don't like what we have become, and today's fp was simply the last straw. In the original version of this diary I said this happened under the leadership of Markos, but I know that's not how it works. It was a poor choice of words]
