Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas on the Midday Open Thread, Thursday: "As bad as Rep. Joe Wilson's behavior was last night, look on the bright side -- at least he wasn't carrying a sign that said 'Obama = Hitler'. Or a loaded rifle."
Also Markos on Thursday, lauding Joe Wilson’s Democrat opponent: "Overall, Rob Miller is close to hitting $400,000 from almost 11,000 patriots sick and tired of Republicans like Rep. Joe Wilson trying to debase our democracy." (More here.)
Markos Moulitsas, opponent of debasing democracy, on the Midday Open Thread, Wednesday edition, on conservatives causing the resignation of radical leftist Van Jones: "It would be nice if the White House learned, as Baratunde notes, that they can't negotiate with terrorists."
P.S.: Another Kosmonaut with the handle "Meteor Blades" suggests Bush would have dragged uncivil Congresspersons into secret jails:
But whether it's racist tropes or moronic red-baiting, the right-wing media and way too many supposedly honorable Republicans have done nothing to tone down this rancid display. Plus the fact that if a Democratic Representative had yelled "You lie!" during a Bush speech, she'd still be doing time in a secret prison.

Ya....he was in the Army........

September 10, 2009 - 18:56 ET by ParagrouperEven a fine institution like the Army makes a mistake every once in a while. Besides, he doesn't appear to have spent too much time in. Likely a REMF who couldn't cut it as the leader of the garrison mess-kit repair section.

Joe Wilson's Campaign Contribution?
September 10, 2009 - 18:27 ET by TexndocRush Limbaugh today hinted the left is more than happy to crow about how much Joe Wilson's opponent had raised, but there has been no peep from the media on how mush JOE WILSON has raised, and it is impossible to get on his web page because of traffic. Can you imagine if Rush got his audience going here?

I don't even know this guy...
September 10, 2009 - 18:44 ET by SlyrrI don't even know this guy - but he LOOKS like a stereotypical gay. Effeminate, female type body language. He looks like he would talk in that lispy, simpering kind of voice with is palms turned down and saying 'ew ew ew' before every sentence.
Regardless, his comments prove who the REAL fascists are. Given the chance, these tyrants in waiting would throw all their political enemies in jail, and happily shred the constitution that's protected their perversions for so long....

September 11, 2009 - 08:08 ET by BlueCat57How long will it take for someone to figure out that all those donations are coming from the same "bus boys" and "waitresses" that used pre-paid credit cards to fund Obama's campaign?

September 11, 2009 - 09:59 ET by jessieHFirst of all, we are not a democratic country. We are a Republic. I don't have ADD. I remember the hate thrown at President Bush. From the Dems.. They would have me believe their lies, instead of my own eyes & ears. Both sides are guilty of corruption. Maybe even some independents. Wilson is a citizen, even if he holds office. He has the right to speak his mind, with that Free Speech thing.

Daily debasing by Daily Kos
September 11, 2009 - 19:53 ET by ptsonSuch horrorific upset over two words, that it turns out are true. The unwritten plan of Barak is being modified by democrats to exclude illegals at this very moment. Obama changed from 47 to 30 million uninsured overnight, excluding them. Only fly in that plan is: THEY ARE THE PROBLEM! No relief for emergency rooms overcrowded by illeglas looking for free care that Americans have to pay for directly and indirectly. It defeats the purpose to leave millions uninsured and fails to save any money or redistribute the wealth. Then the illegals will get coverage, anyway. Who lied?
Perversion is the daily kos. Just an FYI, both congressman and senators heckled and called Bush a liar and much worse for years. Dozens debased your sick pages with crude comments. Any single one in a secret jail? Ever? No? Then who is the lying scumbag, seems to be you Markos. Surprise, surprise, suprise, you little creep.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
