This is going to be a short diary just to bring attention to something that I think is utterly ridiculous.
Daily Kos is allowing ads on its website for 'Americans for Prosperity' - the right-wing political group that has been highlighted on The Rachel Maddow Show numerous times for pretending to be a grassroots organization that has been largely responsible for organizing fake protests against health care reform.
More after the fold...
I can't imagine that this slipped through the cracks by accident. Instead, someone high up the ladder here made a conscious decision to allow this crap to appear on this site. WTF???
Honestly, I'm speechless. Is money so fucking important around here that our principles and values are for sale? The people at Daily Kos deserve better than this.
Here's some advice, DKos...
Take this ad down, apologize for putting it up and vow to never try it again.
Or, leave it up and become just one more example of everything that is wrong with this country.
If you scroll down, you can probably see the ad, but just in case... I took a screen shot for reference.
