According to a recent post on RedState.com regarding the netroots' massive donor response to the Michelle Bachmann fiasco, Daily Kos is an "internet cesspool". Read on:
Like Joe the Plumber, Americans who oppose the One are beginning to understand the level of retribution you can expect at the hands of religiously devoted followers. One red-blooded American feeling that pain right now is Republican Michele Bachmann of Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District. Having angered the devout, her race for reelection received an injection of tithes to her opponent's coffers, much of it courtesy internet cesspool DailyKos.
This makes me happy.
See, I only venture over to RedState once in a while to breathe in the sweet stench of Republican defeat (and on that site, believe me, it is palpable. Are they SURE they're not bitter?), and so when they mention us by name in such derogatory terms, I know we're getting to them. I know that, despite all of their bluster, they realize the truth: Barack Hussein Obama is going to be the next President of the United States, and there's not a thing they can do about it.
They even admitted it themselves recently, as diaried recently in our very own cesspool.
We're doing more than winning, see. We're crushing them, just as Kos has suggested we should do. Their posts reek of excuses and blame as to why the Republican ship is sinking. They have no Captain, no rudder, and their ship is quickly taking on water.
The Reagan revolution is headed for the historical dustbin, and they know it.
More evidence that the good folks over at RedState are coming apart is the heavy censorship they practice on their site. Now we don't often let a troll rant and rave here without calling them out and flaming them to death, but it's not as if Kos simply deletes the profile of a poster for disagreeing with the mainstream of users. Quite the contrary.
I made the mistake once of posting a question on RedState's message board asking for responses that explained Republican support for Sarah Palin. I had heard all of the theories on this board, and wanted to know, genuinely, what Republicans like about her beyond the talking points. My post was up for exactly seven minutes before it was deleted, my posting profile blocked, and a nasty slam left below where my message had been.
I guess it's an example of the arrogance we've come to expect from the right these past eight years, and in this case, it's ignorance and blatant disregard for anything like civil dialogue.
But don't listen to me. I live in an internet cesspool.
