Kos has done a magnificent job, but O'Reilly got us on this one.
And I think that it's a signal that we need to do better.

If DailyKos is subsidized by Democracy for America then there should a permanent logo up here stating that fact.

When Kos endorsed Howard as DNC chair, it shoulda been preceded with a statement that the blog is subsidized by Democracy for America.

I understood that this had been a Dean blog, but didn't know that
it was actually subsidized by the Gov. It wouldn't have made a hill of beans one way or another - in fact, it is actually a tribute to Dean that he nurtured something that was approaching greatness.

Does this relevation diminish Howard Dean? In my eyes, yes.

My political priorities: Veritas first, Country second, Howard third.

Because Kos has done such an outstanding job, this blog has
grown to the point where editorialists must hold themselves to the very highest journalistic standard.
And not let us down.

I received this email from Hillary. It is a form letter, but it looks like she's doing her job.

I wasn't aware that she participated in an effort to introduce legislation to enforce back-up paper ballots along with electronic voting.

Yes, Trolls, people hate Hillary.
OK, it was said - just for you, so you don't have to waste your time.

Now, here are her comments pasted direct:

Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding irregularities in the 2004 election, during which, unfortunately, some Americans were not given a fair opportunity to exercise their right to vote and have their vote counted. I applaud both Senator Boxer and Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones for raising this issue, important to our democracy, during the Congressional Read More

Sideways is a must-see.

The casting is brilliant. Stars Paul Giamatti from American Splendor.

Rise of the Right Wing hack in Cable News

It was shocking and offensive to see Tucker Carlson subbing for Aaron Brown these past few days on CNN. Aaron's viewing audience is predominantly liberal, and apparently, CNN stands to gain by catering to the right wing.

Almost equally offensive is Andrea (pruneface) Mitchell hosting Hardball over the holidays.

The real outrage is the disappearance of talented liberals. Thoughtful, intelligent Bill Press has vanished. Deborah Norville is history.

I can almost understand why Matthews let everyone down. He realizes that a liberal has no future in news, and gives self-survival priority over values. In doing so, he has made himself a nonentity - but a prosperous, working nonentity.

Lou Dobbs, Jon Stewart and Keith Ohboermann are the only reasons that I can think of for continuing to subscribe to cable these days.

Wasn't someone working on getting a liberal news channel?

That being said, it was pretty funny watching a Tom Wolfe (Kool Aid Acid Test) documentary yesterday ... on FOX NEWS!

This is a diary by JamBoi.
I am aware of the complaints about diaries that are pastes like this. I did so only because I felt the interest would justify the bad deed.

It will almost be a relief when the ape is finally sworn in, and hopefully these things will stop emerging to torment us.

Boycotting for the sake of boycotting is not an act for a cause, it's an act of frustration and desperation.

Boycotting a company for doing nothing more than exercising the freedom to give to its party of choice is anti-American.

This is about the 5th time buyblue has been a recommended diary in the past few weeks.

The fissures that you are creating will cost democrats job and business opportunities not to mention donations.

Tomorrow across the country, activists are holding rallys in every state capital. They are protesting election fraud.

The rallys will be poorly attended because most of you don't know about them.

Even though two diaries were posted, they never made it to the recommended list, and slipped away within minutes.

The moronic pile of a horseshit diary from buyblue recycles itself endlessly as a runaway cancer.

Boycott Diary is Troll Driven

I don't have time to write much now.
Later this week, I will elaborate more. Sorry for the
disorganization.

I'm convinced that this "boycott movement" is a Repug maneuver.
(See "Recommended Diary" http://www.dailykos.com/user/ignignokt )

It advocates that we blindly boycott all of the companies that according to websites, donate more to Republicans than democrats.

Checking out the author's URL, he lists the companies he's personally boycotting, and the companies that he's patronizing.

At the top of his "patronize" list is none other than Adobe.

Several months before the dem primaries, Adobe sponsored an extreme right-wing show ala Fox News. It aired on MSNBC.

On the shows that I saw, both the moderator AND all guests were right wing. They sat around mercilessly trashing and belittling the democrat candidates.

One more observation:

Someone in the boycott dairy commented that they would boycott Apple (!) and would not boycott Microsoft.

This is because according to this website, Microsoft gives evenly 50% democrats and 50% republicans.
Whereas Apple donated 78% republican. Read More

I think that the "recommended diaries" should cease
until Kos comes back.

Too many now appeal to the lowest denominator of
freshman wanna-be radical.

And I'm starting to suspect some are even Troll
generated.

As an aside, there is clearly is a Troll invasion.

Too many posts are hyper dumb and have a Freeper
smell.

I hope that Kos is having a good, well-earned vacation.
And hurries back.

Dailykos just took a creepy turn.

A recommended diary condones boycotting
companies because of party affiliation.

If this caught on, it would be dangerous for any Democrat in
the business sector to remain associated with
the party.

It would be dangerous for any employee working
for a boycotted company to remain associated
with the party.

I would feel particularly sorry for the arts organizations
that depend on corporate funding. And most are.

Half of my esteemed clients are Republican.
They are nice people, know my views, and to
their credit have not dropped me for one of their
own.

Tinfoil hatters, Freepers. all make it dangerous
for any rational individual to have party affiliation.

Blind Boycotting is for MORONS

Let's all boycott the red corporations, says
some tinfoil cluckhead - in a recommended diary,
no less.

Yes, let's take punitive measures against companies
for their party affiliation.

Why not?

Well, last I heard punitive measures against people (or companies) for supporting the party of choice was kind of unAmerican.

We didn't lose because corporations gave money
to Bush. We raised plenty of money.

We lost because the Republicans are savvy
in publicity and mass communication.
Our TV advertising was amateurish and scattershot.

Working people voted for Bush because we failed
to reach them effectively.

A campaign against companies should be initiated if they are actively doing something bad - not for exercising their right to support their party of choice.

Or if there is evidence that the Republican majority is out to hurt blue companies. Read More

The Election Fraud topics go fiery hot one day.
Then the next day vaporize.
We've seen more smoking guns than Falluja.

What ever happened to Bev?

Yesterday, it was Berkley. Today, no follow-up. Nada.

This election fraud roller coaster seems to be
made out of tinfoil.

Is Kerry a play-it-safe Ostrich or is he a lot smarter
than the rest of us. Are we being strung along
with fantasies?
