I am a regular Dailykos reader, comment poster and this is my second diary.
I am disturbed by Brooks's allegations and I don't think that telling us to ignore them, they can't destroy us, is a satisfactory answer.
KOS,IS THIS TRUE?
"In a private letter to hundreds of his fellow progressive bloggers, the Kingpin declared he would "go on the offensive" in a "couple of months," but in the meantime, a code of omertà was in order. "It would make my life easier if we can confine the story," he wrote. "If any of us blog on this right now, we fuel the story. Let's starve it of oxygen.""
KOS, IS THIS TRUE?
"Chris Suellentrop, who writes the Opinionator column on TimesSelect, posted an item on June 16 noting the strange correlation between Armstrong contracts and Kos endorsements."
Kos, you know the history of political scandals as well as I do. It's the COVER-UP that destroys people, not necessarily the crime.
If there is something to cop to, to disclose, do it now. Let's get this out in the open, make necessary changes, and move on. There is too much at stake to let this problem drag on for months.
I believe that the Republicans would like to destroy the crediblity of the Liberal Blogosphere, and Brooks may or may not be doing his little part. But if any of this is true, I believe you have a responsibility to this community to come clean, NOW.
We all know that if Clinton had just admitted the BJ and moved on we might have had Gore instead of Bush.
I am a loyal reader and a committed progressive who wants our community to succeed in taking back the political power from the Party Bosses. But we can't do that if we are not CLEAN.
If we are going to claim the high ground,we must always take it. I believe the community would very much welcome an explanation.
