I found this link off the
Daou Report
on Salon (subscription or watch an ad for free day pass) and when I saw Twenty Most Annoying Liberals I had to click, even if it took me to
Right Wing News.
I knew Kos and the community would make the list but the quotes they pull out of context made me feel like I was listening to my dad. The rest of the list is almost as bad. The Kos portion after the jump:
17) The Daily Kos
Markos Moulitsas Zúniga and his merry band of moonbat diarists over at the Daily Kos make great, although still annoying, copy. In fact, they're so entertaining that you really don't have to do much more than quote them.
For example, here's an excerpt from a charming piece written in the aftermath of Katrina called: "Put the N*ggers in the Superdome: Part II":
"What I am going to say now is that there are thousands who are dying and dead. They will be scandal and rioting and rightly so in my opinion as the "Negroes" of New Orleans and tourists were left to drown."
Then there was another Daily Kos diarist who thought it was completely plausible that the levies in New Orleans were deliberately blown:
"This accusation that the levees were blown for political reasons fits with an overall pattern consistantly persued by this administration. Indeed, it fits with the objectives outlined by many in the neo-con camp, with the past support of the Bush family of eugenics, and with the recent callous remarks..."
Here's another Kos author calling for bloody revolution in America's streets:
"Defining Quote: We need terror. We need horror. We need the streets running awash in rivers of blood of these thugs and criminals and zealots. Activism didn't prevent 60,000 deaths in Vietnam. All the activism of the Civil Rights era has gotten African Americans precisely nowhere. Segregation may not be the law of the land anymore, but it's still the de facto state of America.
When y'all want to start throwing molotovs and sniping from windows come and talk to me. Until then, I will be content to retire, be a hermit, and laugh at everyone. Even then, I may still just feel like laughing as the world falls apart around me, but at least I'll be willing to listen."
Yes, it's posts like these that have helped make the Daily Kos the most popular and annoying liberal blog on the planet.
Congratulations, Kosmopolitans, and keep up the good work!
