This is a pure blogosphere diary here, and somewhat banal as a result.
The commenters in the latest Spinsanity article are claiming Kos hates America... actually, that we all do. e.g.:
That link is to the thread below Kos' now infamous "doesn't care about the death of mercinaries" comment. Personally, I don't see any reason to defend kos on this, he's defended himself, he's clarified his remarks. I find the original statement far too harsh, but I know where he's coming from and I recognize that we post in the moment here on this internet thing, and comments bear clarification.
Kos' explanation itself is still somewhat hard line (little sympathy for "mercinaries"/"contract security hired by the Pentagon"), but understandable to me and seems reasonable.
Still the statement can be seen as outrageous especially by those with no motivation to listen to the clarifications or by those who are inclined already to think that (or want evidence that) Kos hates America.
Thoughts? Criticisms? Talking points? Explanations? Defenses?
or if you like, total silence!
:)
I mean, :(
PS: One more thing: Personally, I believe as a fact that Kos loves America. That he hates mercinaries appears to be a strong possibility, however.
