With his crude attacks on Ralph Nader and his supporters, Markos has finally and definitively plunged into the rabbit hole along with commentators and pundits like Limbaugh, Tiabbi, Coulter and Randi Rhodes.
No, I did not vote for Ralph Nader. I voted for Obama because in the end he proved that he could not only rise above the noise but that he can play the game of gunslinger better than anyone. Unfortunately his biggest liabilities have been and will continue to be the taunting, carping and complaining from immature wingnuts on the left.
What makes you think that left wingnuts are any better than right wingnuts, or are any more 'reality based' than Christian Fundamentalists over Muslim Fundamentalists?
At least the aforementioned list of cultural pit bulls are paid to be entertaining, albeit to their own narrow audience. Ralph Nader and his supporters have never had a realistic chance to win a presidential election, but in the face of relentless ridicule from armchair liberals, they are doggedly committed to raising questions that no one else is ready to raise. For this they are vilified by political hacks and junkies like Markos, and because they don't meet the extremely narrow criteria (and getting narrower) of the 'reality based'.
In the course of this election I've watched this forum descend to the lowest levels of political discourse until it quite matches the kind of tripe one can see on the most ridiculous right wing forums. I used to check out KOS regularly for campaign news and statistics. There are now much better sites for that. DailyKOS has become little more than a redundantly predictable echo chamber that resounds with regular threats and taunts against those that you deem impure and unconfirmed. It's come down to checking your site once and a while just to confirm the level of invective launched against anything that falls outside of the liberal canon.
Reality based?
Not worth the bother.
