This guy Markos is this generation's Abbie Hoffman who uses a war effort to become a demamgogue for a generation of anti-war protesting. But once the war winds down or is gone these people become irrelevant and disappear. I think we are watching this little man's peak of fame. He is already doing battle with people he helped get elected and within his own party. I look foward to Harold Ford taking him down a few notches or at least showing how off he really is and how off the pandering Democrats are for sharing a stage with him and his fellow nuts.
Pretty uneventful, but there was one zinger from Ford to that little Hitler (and he is).
Ford remarked about horrible commentary that exists on DailyKos including posts filled with “awful things about Jewish people” – he did not say Israel.
Markos' response was “it’s about democracy – if you don’t like regular people . . “
Or, since Markos is on the opposite end of the spectrum, he could truly be described as Stalinesque. How? Don't forget about the Doctor's Plot. The ONLY thing that stopped that purge/pogrom was Stalin taking his dirt nap.
Here's what Charles at little green footballs had to say: "The supreme egotist Markos “Screw Them” Moulitsas appeared on Meet The Press today with DLC chairman Harold Ford, denying and backpedaling furiously away from the hateful, ugly content on his site, and crowing about becoming the new Democratic “mainstream.” Of course, he’s being given a complete pass for his obscene, barely literate writing, and his track record of almost uninterrupted political failure.
It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion, as the Democrats let their agenda be determined by spoiled, mean-spirited children. The damage from pandering to this lowest of the lowest common denominator will be felt for years."
I agree I was surprised Huckabee has such a good showing. I think he has performed very well in the debates and his messages should resonate with the base. Only problem is getting the base to listen to him.
On the supposedly-unbiased "fair and balanced" network! <snicker!> Or you might want to see it in context of money/time spent? ;^) Or 1-2% poll predictions vs secret (see above) 9.1% results?

Isn't one of the components of the scientific method a willingness to share the method you employed to reach a conclusion so that it can be recreated and thereby verified?
So when Steve McIntyre and others got wind of NASA's "warmest-year-on-record" error, why did James Hansen refuse to pass along his algorithm? This strikes me as bratty and unprofessional.
Hansen refused to provide McKintyre with the algorithm used to generate graph data, so McKintyre reverse-engineered it.
Happened to catch Meet the Depressed, and say what you guys want, but I swear Kos has got some sugar in his tank. No man I know sticks his pinky out when drinking from a coffee cup.
When Ford, and Kos were trading barbs Ford had that "if we were not in front of the cameras I would B-smack you" look. Fords distast for Kos was evident, being he would not even make eye contact with the pint sized communist.
"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious. "
This was my first time seeing Marxist Moulitsas in action. He appeared a capable speaker and was not wearing any offensive clothing (eg Che t-shirt). I can not speak to his personal hygeine since the stench of Liberal bohemianism (redundant?) would go unnoticed by all at that table.
That said, he seemed like a smug, smirking, combative, effeminate toad. The constant hand movements and oh-so-tantalizing near touches of Ford begged for a silk hankerchief to hold onto while assaulting the atmosphere. Add a smart little boy blue velvet suit and starched white shirt with lace wrists to complete the Berkely Lord Fauntleroy caricature.
His style of debate was monopolize, marginalize, insult and shout down your opponent. Bursts of rapid speech are used to give an air of intelligence and to prevent your opponent a chance to get a word in during a pause. For once, David Gregory was not the biggest @sshole in the room.
The content of his text is no doubt sanitized for television. How else can he appears "center" if one were to read Moulitsas' posts' on DKos from times past. Yet he did not dispel the old adage that a pig with lipstick is still a pig. I imagine we'll see more of the piggie in "Kos" as he feels more empowered. Moulitsas is on a power grab and Ford is pandering for votes. David Gregory was there to add dung fertilizer as needed to make the transaction as "slick and smooth" as possible. (Does this mean Kucinich is the dung beetle of the DNC, forever rolling up the crap of others?) What a disgusting symbiosis between parasites.
One can only hope for a real debate between Moulitsas and NB's Noel Sheppard.

"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious. "
1. Kos is from El-Salvador, his family moved back to the states to escape the leftists, and communists, they came back to the states as refugees.
Kos runs a wildly popular leftist communist website.
2. Kos is a military veteran who once proclaimed "He has described the military as "perhaps the ideal society – we worked hard but the Army took care of us in return."[1]
Kos is the chief of DKOS, a very un-patriotic, anti-military, anti-religion, anti-semitic forum.
3. Kos is married with children.
For all sense, and purposes Kos should be conservative, so what is the one thing that would by default turn someone into to a liberal?
Yep, being gay.
."You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious. "
If we speak as a whole of the role of Stalin in Russian history, was he positive or negative? Positive: 47 percent; negative: 29 percent; did not answer: 24 percent.
seems that public opinion can be manipulated by the information given to it. This is what makes the liberal media bias reported to the US citizens so repugnant.
"Television is where you watch people in your living room that you would not want near your house." Groucho
The topics covered were a bit lacking in my opinion. This business about
Liberal media bias Is still just a myth. Even the Kos convention seems watered
don by comparison with the Blogosphere. Where are topics about this
administration's hypocrisy and incompetence?
Where is this big bad Liberal Media? I'll tell you where....It is in Brent
Bozells imagination and is just a part of the Neo-Con right wing propaganda
campaign.
"Neo-Con"? How original. You must have been working on that line since you signed up over a year ago.
And yet another Puffington Host sleeper cell emerges...
Now if you want to post ancient videos, how about posting one of Clinton's speeches from 1998 claiming that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction? Or the speech that Hillary gave to Code Pink in 2002 where she claimed the same thing?
Isn't it funny that the left is still running against GWB and team? Seems to me there ought to be some thought to given to the candidates they will face and not the outgoing admin.
The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program...........Ronald Reagan
Anybody catch today's WaPo article by Monica Hesse denigrating Fred Thompson because of his first name? Basically, she says his name sounds stogy, old-fashioned and, of primary importance, not sexy. I haven't decided who to back yet, but I know I'm not looking for a sex object, I want an intelligent leader with conservative values. This woman must be really desperate to find something bad about the man if she's writing about the name his parents gave him as if it was the same thing as making naive, uninformed and contradicting statements about foreign policy. Sounds more and more like the drive-by media is living in fear of Fred Thompson. Must be a good reason, don't you think? I think that alone would be enough to keep him on the short list.
BT thanks for the link. Evidently WAPO has no problem wasting ink on tasteless, retarded articles such as that one. Now they want to dissect someones birth name as well as their character. This says it all " Fur-red-duh".
Of course no mention of the fact that this unsexy Fred is a strapping 6' 6", played the Admiral in Hunt For Red October, and if elected will be bringing possibly the hottest first lady ever into the White House.
Also no mention of the fact, that Fred can also beat up, up to eight times the weight of Micheal Moores breakfast in socialist hippies.
"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious. "
I am filled with sorrow...that man brought me nothing but joy with his versatility in music....let alone his patriotic greatness that came out in his music.
My heartfelt sorrow goes out to his family and friends....
I have been watching a trend developing very subtle on liberal blog sites and I have noticed a huge herding of leftists to be against Hillary.
Bob Novak today revealed what the DNC was telling him (So if they are leaking to him you know something is afoot to sink Hillary). The DNC said Hillary's national numbers "mean nothing" and that in NH and Iowa it is a dead heat between Obama, Clinton and Edwards with Obama now surging in South Carolina.
Ariana Huffington this morning took quite a catty swat at Hillary on the two faced nuclear issue. Other featured bloggers have called Hillary "sh*t" in her loosing national campaign. None of this is just happening and the long knives appear out for Hillary.
I have also noticed a dead silence in their backing anyone else. Yes they will take Obama's side, but that is only to needle Hillary.
I doubt what I blogged to Ariana Huffington will be posted by her, but Ariana used to love Hillary........and the dirty secret is Hillary was either threatening or blackmailing support with those stolen FBI files.........liberals were intimidated by her.
So that begs the question if Chris Matthews cleverly was using looser John Edwards to take funds from Hillary and now Huffington and others are openly swatting at Clinton to the clever CNN chic raising her skirt.......just in logic if these twirps are not afraid of Hillary any more.........who is the big tuna they are putting their faith in?
Only one person besides Bush 41, 43 and Cheney know where the skeletons of bribery are buried in Swiss Bank Accounts who Hillary can not touch if he bites her.........that is Al Gore.
I believe a draft Gore sham will be initiated as he has every intention of running. This is who these twirps are putting their trust in as you know very well they are smart enough to know Hillary if she wins will come at them tooth and nail.......they know something in the DNC and there is a coup against Hillary planned and being intitiated.
Al Gore is running it as he answers to the real big fish in the pond in the cartel narco banking globalists. He sold his soul to them and he will get in the race as Hillary is tanking.
The problem LC is most liberals I know, or know of are moderate. The MSM's ardent support of the Clintons is not legend. She is their girl for the most part, and as of late she is trying to portray herself as a moderate Democrat. That is unless God forbid she ends up as the CIC, and then everyone will find out what a far left socialist she is.
The funny thing is most liberal women i know, my mother included, very much dislike Hillary for no other reason than being a woman. I guess it must be The Queen Bee syndrome that Rush spoke about.
Anything moderate or centrist to the far-left is seen as being far right, and the liberal kookosphere is awash in moonbattery, and conspiratorial paranoia, not to mention they hate her. Hillarious's only hope to get elected is to try, and convince everyone she is a born again blue dog, so she can appeal to the majority DNC base.
I dont' believe the MSM is turning against her so much, as they are the media, and they love to see a good catfight, and they love it when the girl falls. To them she is fair game just like Paris Hilton, or Lindsay Lohan.
"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious. "
Wow! We must have sruely caught all the Al-Qaeda in Iraq, since Hater, er, Leon has shown us that they comprise on the tiniest of percentages of unsurgents fighting our troops. Faux News must be lying, since Hater, er, Leon is NEVER wrong.
Late last week I faced a bit of a problem. I had a ticket to see Rush in Houston, but got scheduled to work that day. What is an obsessed Rush freak like me to do?
Why, burn the cash to drive 400 miles round trip to see them in San Antonio, of course! (In a single day, I might add!)
And was that EVER money well spent!!! What an amazing show! I will not give too much away for those who have yet to see them, but they "go deep" in the catalogue. If they are headed to YOUR town, go see them. It WILL be well worth the effort!

Long Knives Out For Hillary
August 12, 2007 - 14:55 ET by Lame CherryI have been watching a trend developing very subtle on liberal blog sites and I have noticed a huge herding of leftists to be against Hillary.
Bob Novak today revealed what the DNC was telling him (So if they are leaking to him you know something is afoot to sink Hillary). The DNC said Hillary's national numbers "mean nothing" and that in NH and Iowa it is a dead heat between Obama, Clinton and Edwards with Obama now surging in South Carolina.
Ariana Huffington this morning took quite a catty swat at Hillary on the two faced nuclear issue. Other featured bloggers have called Hillary "sh*t" in her loosing national campaign. None of this is just happening and the long knives appear out for Hillary.
I have also noticed a dead silence in their backing anyone else. Yes they will take Obama's side, but that is only to needle Hillary.
I doubt what I blogged to Ariana Huffington will be posted by her, but Ariana used to love Hillary........and the dirty secret is Hillary was either threatening or blackmailing support with those stolen FBI files.........liberals were intimidated by her.
So that begs the question if Chris Matthews cleverly was using looser John Edwards to take funds from Hillary and now Huffington and others are openly swatting at Clinton to the clever CNN chic raising her skirt.......just in logic if these twirps are not afraid of Hillary any more.........who is the big tuna they are putting their faith in?
Only one person besides Bush 41, 43 and Cheney know where the skeletons of bribery are buried in Swiss Bank Accounts who Hillary can not touch if he bites her.........that is Al Gore.
I believe a draft Gore sham will be initiated as he has every intention of running. This is who these twirps are putting their trust in as you know very well they are smart enough to know Hillary if she wins will come at them tooth and nail.......they know something in the DNC and there is a coup against Hillary planned and being intitiated.
Al Gore is running it as he answers to the real big fish in the pond in the cartel narco banking globalists. He sold his soul to them and he will get in the race as Hillary is tanking.

I too read that Novak
August 12, 2007 - 15:00 ET by bigtimerI too read that Novak column today Lame Cherry...
I also agree with you...it was bound to happen...adn this is just the beginning....
LOL!
Here is the link to the column, plus there are some other little political tid-bits in it...it is a fast read.
The problem LC is most
August 12, 2007 - 15:12 ET by BlazerThe problem LC is most liberals I know, or know of are moderate. The MSM's ardent support of the Clintons is not legend. She is their girl for the most part, and as of late she is trying to portray herself as a moderate Democrat. That is unless God forbid she ends up as the CIC, and then everyone will find out what a far left socialist she is.
The funny thing is most liberal women i know, my mother included, very much dislike Hillary for no other reason than being a woman. I guess it must be The Queen Bee syndrome that Rush spoke about.
Anything moderate or centrist to the far-left is seen as being far right, and the liberal kookosphere is awash in moonbattery, and conspiratorial paranoia, not to mention they hate her. Hillarious's only hope to get elected is to try, and convince everyone she is a born again blue dog, so she can appeal to the majority DNC base.
I dont' believe the MSM is turning against her so much, as they are the media, and they love to see a good catfight, and they love it when the girl falls. To them she is fair game just like Paris Hilton, or Lindsay Lohan.

What? More Al-Qaeda found
August 12, 2007 - 20:38 ET by Roger the ShrubberWhat? More Al-Qaeda found in Iraq?
Wow! We must have sruely caught all the Al-Qaeda in Iraq, since Hater, er, Leon has shown us that they comprise on the tiniest of percentages of unsurgents fighting our troops. Faux News must be lying, since Hater, er, Leon is NEVER wrong.

On THE Canadian power trio
August 13, 2007 - 06:31 ET by UnsaneLate last week I faced a bit of a problem. I had a ticket to see Rush in Houston, but got scheduled to work that day. What is an obsessed Rush freak like me to do?
Why, burn the cash to drive 400 miles round trip to see them in San Antonio, of course! (In a single day, I might add!)
And was that EVER money well spent!!! What an amazing show! I will not give too much away for those who have yet to see them, but they "go deep" in the catalogue. If they are headed to YOUR town, go see them. It WILL be well worth the effort!

August 13, 2007 - 07:26 ET by rob6677Give them a little time to manufacture some kind of spin on it!
Such thought provoking items like this take the MSM a little longer than normal to decide which type of scandal to assign.

Rove Resigns
August 13, 2007 - 10:22 ET by shawn228Can the AG be fair behind?
Maybe so.
August 13, 2007 - 15:11 ET by dervishThen Bush can nominate Rove for AG, just to watch the Dem Judiciary Committee members' heads explode. I'd pay admission to that press conference.
Actually, too bad AG isn't going and Rove staying. Rove is at least worth the flak he draws.
