If this comment came from someone else, they would be troll-rated and lose TU status if they had it:
But what makes me angry was Kerry and his gang's inability to take advantage of the situation. I may regret saying this later, but fuck it -- they should be lined up and shot. There's no reason they should've lost to this joker.
I know because I've seen it firsthand. Kos, I love and respect what you're doing, but please don't abuse your relative "immunity" as the head cheese here. It's not fair to the rest of us. Even if you state a disclaimer, as above.
Update:from Tacoma Narrows, in comments below:
it's not really a question of whether he thinks anyone should be shot -- it's a bizarre notion to even consider that's what he meant. the point is that for some utterly inexplicable reason, if you are not kos or some other senior fellow of the daily kos institute, you would be taken to really mean that in some sense and you'd be called a troll for being caustic.
the things people can say around here are straightjacked by an obsessive fixation on language and exclusion of the other. that, i think, is the right way to read this diary. interestingly, the diarist does not ask that people be allowed more freedom in this respect in general, but rather that in fairness kos himself should submit to it.
