Meet Me In Denver: The rest of the story

By SusanUnPC on May 16, 2008 at 12:10 PM in Barack Obama, Censorship, Cultist Thugs, Current Affairs, Daily Kos, Larry Johnson

You’ve now seen Alegre’s diary, which she posted last night at MyDD.com. Here’s the rest of the story.

Two things happened:

1) Alegre received an official warning (BELOW THE FOLD), and she had to acknowledge, by clicking the buttons, that she saw the ~~SINS~~ ERRORS of her ways in order to be able to continue to post at MyDD.

2) Alegre’s diary was edited. This portion, she says, was removed: “At MyDD the admin. saw fit to delete all references to those 400 bloggers that may or may not be on Obama’s payroll.” [THIS IS THE FIRST TIME in any of our memories that a diary has ever been edited on ANY blog. If a diary is offensive to the admins, it is erased. BUT TO EDIT IT? WITHOUT collaboration with the author? Unbelievable behavior.]

Her experience is not unlike that of Larry Johnson’s who chose to respond this way: “Fuck KOS!.” (If you’ve never read Larry’s rant against Daily Kos, you must!)

HERE’s the screenshot of the warning that Alegre received:

:::::::::::::::::

HERE’s the beginning of Larry’s now famous (infamous) “Fuck KOS!”:

What a bunch of goddamn, Orwellian fascists. Here’s the message waiting for me when I checked in tonight:

Okay Mr. Kos. Here’s a word for you: GO FUCK YOURSELF. (Actually, that’s three words. My bad.)

This wannabee poseur and his gang of Animal Farm pig imitators have lost touch with reality.

READ THE REST.

Are you frickin’ kidding me?

What country are we living in, again?

What a bunch of Faux-Liberal Manichaean Fascists.

beebop

God forbid it might ruffle some obamatron feelings. They are so freaking fragile, just like their little leader, Sweetie!

I was thrown off Mydd 2 days ago.
The same Obamazoids from dKos are having another purge.
Administration is really timid there.

What I’m interested in knowing is why are these allowed to be called “Democratic” blogs.

And if they are, why hasn’t DNC cracked down on the garbage they’ve been pulling. Oh Well, we already know how indebted Howard Dean is to Kos.

izarradar

Welcome to our new form of “democracy” if Obama becomes President. The Barack shirts are at it again.

Pheonix

The RNC is observing this. I don’t think they will wait until October to stop Obama. They will release what they have. It is just too risky for our country to wait.

s. hall

Phoenix — I hope the Republican Party understands that their normal methods of destruction may not work with Obama — This is cult. Really scary.

CULT

I saw the proof that the “Obama” is a cult movement in the WA State caucus I went to last Feb. When you see a group of people acting with a kind of religious fervor — absolute belief in their leader as the ALL knowing and ALL wise — and not using any logic what-so-ever — then you know you are in the presence of a CULT.

The Obamabots only knew that they had FAITH in their supreme leader — that he would do the right thing and slay the dragon.

We are dealing with political DIFFERENCES — we are dealing with primitive human emotions — no! Change that to primitive animal emotions. Obama/Axlerod are playing with the primitive animal emotions.

The Obamabot cult members behave as if they are drugged — thus the koolaid reference (also a reference to Jones Town).

The Obamabot cult members have been mind drugged to suspend their own judgment, common sense and logic — to merely believe.

SO fight on — Obama IS a fraud — Obama is a Liar. Mrs. Obama is racist. Nothing has changed.

Another aspect of cults — when you challenge their belief in their god Obama — they become vicious. They want the mind drug and they will act like cornered RATS if you try to point out the truth.

OBAMA-mania — is a cult — not a political movement.

Clinton from the race we must rise up. Let everyone know we won’t vote

What a bunch of Faux-Liberal Manichaean Fascists.

Unfortunately, this isn’t a surprise. I get banned from more liberal leaning sites than any other, period (surprised that I lasted this long on one).

GOP types will rant and scream, but I can post despite I’m not socially conservative (and will disagree on about half the issues they raise, especially blind partisanship).

Get on a liberal site, if I don’t tow the party line, it’s BAN CITY.

It’s these forays that makes me forever want to remain an Independent, too.

I tried posting on a GOP site once. they were nice to me. Kooky ,but nice. Brave New World…

Fuck Kos, My DD and The Huffington post. What really bothers me is how easily people who run these blogs become fascists. The whole country must change to accommodate Barrack Hussein Obama. Oh I said his middle name — they are coming to take me away.

Fascists would probably even enjoy it — for the pleasure of fighting them.

Gary McGowan

Who paid for Obama’s years at Columbia (same time ZBig–whose whole damn family is running him now–was teaching there? I don’t buy into Obi’s “hanging out in the library like a monk” story.

Do law graduates have to write theses or dissertations or anything? Is there something on paper to show what a great star Obama was?

No – You take classes and do mock courts to get a law degree – called a JD.

No thesis.

Do you have a link about those “special Interests”? Seriously – I have been investigating this for awhile and have not found anything.

Thanks for your help.

Jonathan Singer was on as admin last night I think. He pulls the trigger immediately (I was posting a comment on another diary and it disappeared as I was typing – it hadn’t been up longer than 5 minutes.)

MyDD has gotten really bad – I was thinking this AM of not going back, but I want to support Alegre et al as they try and break through the (obviously) Obmama hacks who are probably also paid! I find myself leaving less and less comments – just “wrecking” and running.

Nicole

My thinking is not to bother going there–let them breathe in their own toxic fumes. I stopped frequenting MyDD weeks ago when I realized the ever-tilting slant towards the Erzatz One was promoting an increasingly malicious anti-Hillary bias among the comments section. But this instance of censorship is outrageous. It’s a flagrante abuse of power–a very unethical stance. I guess MyDD is really an acronym for My Diminishing Discernment…or My Debilitating Dementia.

If the Clinton supporters leave MyDD, the Kos Trolls will bail instantly, and Todd will have to get his day job back. Hee-Hee.

I go only (rarely now) for Alegre, Texasdarlin, TeresainPA and a few others. MyDD has been taken over like KOS was – and I left there with Alegre. I love it here – this place is sanctuary.

Shainzona I got banned from My DD almost a year ago for saying Obama was not a Democrat — that site is run by weak sisters who are afraid of their own shadow.

Linda C.

Obama isn’t a democrat. Listen to him…All of the previous achievements of the party were not different than the Republicans. Obama belongs to the Party Obama and wants you to belong to it too. He is the one he has been waiting for.

So it was begun, the beginning of the end. Buying out the “liberal” blogs. Threatening nd cajoling into submission.

Act like good little shoulders. Dance when I tell you to dance. Speak when I tell you to speak. Say what I tell you to say.

Did I just suddenly wake up in 1950s Soviet Union?

FUCK YOU OBAMA & FASCIST STEPFORD BLOGGERS!

Congrats to Larry, Alegre, SusanunPC, everybody fighting back!

rwc

Bloggers on the take? hardly news. Look many of them aren’t making much money and it someone comes along and offers them a grand a month to shut down anti-Obama posters. They are going to do it.

Think about it, notice how almost overnight many blogs went anti-Hillary and pro-Obama.

Or the fact that many blog admins let the obamabots bully other posters.

alibe..loves Hillary

That is a fact. I noticed it. I bet you could pin point the week it happened. It took about a month for me to get the full impact. I am just sick. I still wonder just who all is behind this. One knows that Obama or his people are behind this, but I always think that there is more to this than even Obama. It is big, really big if you ask me!

Kathy

Black Panthers and Nation of Islam.

RalphB

More likely Penny Pritzer or Soros. I still don’t really believe that 1.5 million voters have given the trememndous amount of money to Obama.

He got Kerry’s email list early. Since Axelrod runs an astro-turfing company, how hard would it have been to take a very large donation and astro-turf it in via the website using Kerry’s email list to fake a ton of small donations?

That’s something the FEC would never check and it would be effective.

http://www.arguewitheveryone.com ChrisXP

Or the fact that many blog admins let the obamabots bully other posters.

Or not willing to let folks call it like it is, because of “unity” and other PC crap.

Noquarter might be the only Left leaning blog that will fight Obama all the way to November (if he’s nominated). Even Taylor said she’ll support the nominee even if it’s Obama — her M.O. is strictly partisan, ABM (“anything but McCain”).

When the power is unplugged, most will take their site to where the power is, as it’s a business (someone has to pay for the server). Sad, because as long as there’s millions of dollars coming in on the “winning” side, they can afford to pay the light bill for 4,000 bloggers.

Then it all becomes a toss up between 1984 or Joseph Goebbels. :rolleyes:

s. hall

SM — Obama’s cousin Odinga is trying to take over Kenya and believes in Sharia law. Wonder if thats what they have in mind here for all us uppity women.

Who knows — that thought has been surfacing more frequently.

Obama’s attitude toward women is dismissive and sexist — in fact I really don’t think he likes women very much at all.

The U.S.S.R., that is EXACTLY what this reminds me of- censor anything negative about Obama, call everybody a racist, a hick, bitter, etc etc.
I go to MyDD to support ALegre, TexasDarlin and a few others.

If anyone has proof of the 400 bloggers they should publish it. Maybe someone with a conscience will step forward. Wasn’t the brave soul who released the “bitter” thing an Obama supporter? There must be more people like that and we should urge them to step forward for the good of our country.

This blogger cites FoxNews as the source, but when I did a search on FoxNews’ website, I didn’t come up with anything.
http://hillbuzz.blogspot.com/2008/05/obama-hires-400-new-bloggers-to-sway.html
At this point, I’ll just have to say that I wouldn’t put anything past Obama’s people. After reading this post, I believe they’ll do or say anything to get their man elected. The question for the American people to ask (before they vote) is: How complicit is Obama in machinations of his supporters?

Pheonix

Have you ever seen Obama tell his supporters to stop their dangerous tactics? I have not.

This HAS to be stopped. I believe he’s going to enslave the white race.

http://deleted AnninCA

Personally, I don’t read that site or Huffington Post, and I don’t think people should feed their articles into it, either.

The only time I ever see most of the sexist commentators is on u-tube, and I always wonder why anyone would watch them in real life. They are just boorish and rude people.

Even some of the blogs where I like the authors have decided that any mention of race is “race-baiting.” I left that blog, too, because it’s insane to discuss this primary without discussing the racial issues that are so clearly a part of the campaign.

I don’t mind scrubbing posts to get rid of name-calling or gross insults, but other than that, I can’t imagine how blogs will survive with all this censorship going on.

It’s opposite of what the medium is all about.

Even some of the blogs where I like the authors have decided that any mention of race is “race-baiting.” I left that blog, too, because it’s insane to discuss this primary without discussing the racial issues that are so clearly a part of the campaign.

Part of the reason (which most bloggers don’t understand until they rent or colo their own server) is their AUP/TOS agreement. A site can be shut down over this PC crap, if they tolerate “hate speech” (love ADL now?). Yeah, an owner isn’t liable for even hosting a thread of folks planning a murder; but if it’s a thread calling XYZ a racist, the site can be unplugged without notice.

This is why sites police the stuff, as they don’t want to face their money train going down, nor a fat lawsuit for libel.

Censorship is an evil thing. Because calling for even a bona-fide hate site to closed down, a site for the public good can face the same fate. Which is why actually practicing diversity and tolerance is a MUCH better solution — then such threats don’t exist.

http://deleted AnninCA

Interesting, but this was hardly anything remotely close to that, of course.

What bothered me was that it’s as offensive to suggest someone is race-baiting as it is to call someone a racist.

That type of accusation should be reserved for the real deal, in my opinion.

I don’t call Michelle a racist, either. I think she’s an egghead who, like Obama, speaks of people as though they are categories or walking labels. She’s guilty of stereotyping, in other words.

I doubt she’s a racist. She’s just over-convinced of some of her own ideas.

Sammie

Her RACIST ideas.

I went to MYdd thinking it was a haven, where Clinton supporters at least got an equal shake.

It’s being overrun by Obamatrons.

Shame on the admins for caving.
bamaoil

They really can’t read, you know?

To NOT acknowledge the reality of modern politics is a reflection of ignorance, or poor analytical skills, attempting to control something they cannot.

Yet somehow MYDD doesn’t see it, this cultural shift in political awareness, due to the Internet?

To try to cast aspersions on Algere’s credibilty makes MYDD look a little out of it, out of touch with how information is now spread, it is a reasonable expectation to expect Obama pays bloggers, hell K** himself said as much when he endorsed the bamster, “hey, it’s not 1965.”

Or 1995, for that matter.

Or, 2003, even.

Time has moved on, the internet has changed the scenario, but like the republicans, the heads of these people are stuck.

Obama is corrupt, he uses PR methods to control, this is a fairly accurate educated guess, even for the casual reader, given the TRUE information on the Internet, the consultants, et al.

Algere is ahead of the curve.

Follow the Money: Obama Helped Supporters Get Millions in Illinois State Business

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), in a July 2007 speech to the Urban League, “boasted of his efforts in 2001 to help a handful of African American-owned investment firms in Chicago get a larger share of business with Illinois state pension funds,” ABC News reported May 15, 2008.

“And in six months, they got about a half-billion dollars’ worth of business simply on their excellence,” Obama said.

What he did not say in his speech was that the owner of one of the investment firms, John Rogers of Ariel Capital, is a principal campaign fundraiser. Nor did he reveal that employees of the firms he helped have since contributed to or helped to raise more than $765,000 for his campaigns, according to campaign documents. Nor did he mention that two of the firms have allowed him to use their private jets. Nor did he mention that two of the firms have since been dismissed by the state pension fund for “underperformance.”

Evelyn Pringle reported on this a month ago in her article “Barack Obama—Operation Board Games for Slumlords.” The financial details in the ABC News article were published April 10, 2008, by RezkoWatch in Obama’s ‘new politics’ enABLErs. ABC News reports:

Now, Rogers is an Illinois finance co-chairman for Obama’s presidential campaign, having raised more than $200,000 for the campaign. Ariel employees have given nearly $70,000 to Obama’s White House effort — for a total of more than $130,000 to Obama’s political career since 2001, when the politician went to bat for the company. The total includes $8,100 donated by Ariel Capital president Mellody Hobson, an ABC News financial contributor. Hobson is listed by the Obama campaign as a “bundler” who has raised between $50,000 and $100,000 for Obama’s presidential campaign.

I know they are better off having read my posts. as a matter of fact, the more they respond, the more I know that I have made a point. Not a time to leave them to their insanities.

Well, I still boycott, in fact, given what I see, K** is simply not a factor, anymore.

And to engage in internecine methodology is stupid, when it’s much more productive to simply tell the truth, and expose the K**s, and Obama, and big oils.

Right?

Otherwise, I’m letting others control my actions, and what is it to fight, physically?

Aren’t we fighting by educating, telling the truth, or can one only fight the Karl Rove/neocon way, by slandering,and smearing?

The downrate scheme is just a way to turn a site into a cesspool overnight. Habitual trolls will do nothing but it, between throwing up their bile — and that’s on a nicely managed site.

Folks coming to blogs like that, also see that one mob is dictating content — a major turnoff for Independents, who don’t fit the For or Against mobsters profiles.

Susaninbosque

This does fit in well with New Hampster’s great Branding article – this is really not good….

However, I go on with the broken record: From the beginning this was NOT a Democratic nomination candidage…. Obama is something else and it is something actually bigger than a Brand.

Question is: what exactly?

Not only do we need to know what’s in the poke (pig in a poke) but we need to know who’s holding the poke and carrying it around and who bought it in the first place. And I started to add that I’m getting tired of it all but then I caught myself.

We cannot in any way get tired of it. We have to keep on digging through the dirt to find the root.

How about Exelon? Our next president has to find alternatives to oil, there’s no choice.
I noticed that during a televised forum on energy about a year ago, every Repub who spoke pushed nuclear energy as the answer. (I think it was last time Gore was in Congress, actually). Most Dems were saying there were better alternatives, that nuclear isn’t the answer. But Obama has gotten much money from Exelon, has stopped a law in Illinois that would hold them accountable for nuclear waste leaked into families’ water. So he’s their boy, big opportunities coming. I hate nuclear alternative – dangerous to our and children’s health, not clean energy, not good for environment. Good for Exelon pockets.
That and heath insurance companies, big pharma. He’ll help them all.

Wow that is racist.

Pandora: you should have told them that only a closet racist could consider your (true) statement/comment as “racist”.

I think that’s what’s happoening here; many of the media, bloggers and supporters are trying so hard by manipulating every comment or criticism into something racist just to show they are not racist b/c at heart they are.

It’s like many comments I heard from many voting for Obama on super Tuesday because “it’d be important to show to the world the image of a black man in the White House”

That sounds to me like saying : “You see, I am not racist; here is the proof I voted for him”

It is the typical argument of many an-semitic people:

” I am not an antisemite for I have a friend who has a friend that is a “jew”"

This is today madness and Mr. Wedge (aka BO) instead of putting a stop to this ridicule , encourages and exploits it; enticing this even further.

I’m not at all naive…I’m actually quite worldly, but I’m not certain what “tea bag tossing” is a euphemism for. (It does conjure up some weird visuals.) Can anyone delicately clarify this?

Gaylen

I think they’ve mixed their metaphors.

‘Tea bagging’ is when a man squats or kneels over another person and hangs his testicles in their face.

‘Tossing salad’ is to lick a person’s anus.

It’s probably safe to assume he meant some combination of the two behaviors.

(As an aside, you know an election has taken a frightening turn when you find yourself explaining phrases that like this more frequently. I had to explain tea bagging to my 55 yr old mother last week. Sigh.)

One (perhaps) good thing to know is that the blogs really have VERY little influence over elections

otherwise

Dennis K would be the nominee
and after him
they (KOS,DU,etc) were pushing Eddie

Hillary bloggers were ALWAYS WAY outnumbered on the blogs because WORKING people are usually working and Seniors MOSTLY don’t blog if they even have computers!

THERE is the BIGGEST block of your voters that won’t be available for online polls and also to be updated on BO and MO’s latest ASS kissing tour. Where they drive around kissing middle class ass for a week or so.

No one is paying attention or buying it except his cheerleaders and misty eyed puff pieces. I can’t wait for the next VOTE.

O.K., kids, here’s the latest:

OBAMA DRUG BOMBSHELL: Candidate’s Dealer Pal Offered $10 Million to Tell All

“A sensational new bombshell revelation is threatening to blow apart Barack Obama’s campaign!

“The Enquirer has learned exclusively that GOP operatives are offering a $10 million windfall to a drug dealer from his past.

“The drug peddler – whom Obama refers to as ‘Micky’ – can confirm whether the Illinois senator ever used heroin, say sources.

“While Obama has never revealed how often he used illicit drugs, in his original 1995 confessional book “Dreams of My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,” the senator made a brief reference to an incident in which he apparently had considered shooting up heroin.”

This supposedly took place in a meat locker. The rest of the story talks about whether Barama actually used it, and lied about it in the book.

But, as we know here by now, Barack Obama would never lie. Or is it he would never tell the truth?

This is new because, as far as I know, nobody has mentioned heroin use before, just marijuana and cocaine.

Enquiring minds want to know. The VOTERS want to know. Well, the smart ones do.

Catriley

the Enquirer has been eerily correct in most of their stories. they have a phat budget and a huge team of lawyers and fact checkers.

I’m not with Hillary’s campaign so I can say it all I want, Obama is not what he seems. He reminds me of a character from Midnight Cowboy that they cleaned up to run for president. Judging from his pals, he’s a sleazeball.

bamaoil

Don’t people have a right to know if Obama used heroin, given his track record of use, and abuse?

It’s not as if you’d be undermining a reformed addict, trying to and capable of making good, he’s corrupt, and his election would not be in the better interests of the American people.

My my, if that is true, I feel sad for him.

Sort of, that’s a tool, a broken man.

Isn’t this just obvious blowback from the “Kill the Troll” mindset that permeates popular blog talkbacks? The echo chamber reigns, walk/march in lockstep or hit the road.

Perhaps editing or expulsions are superior to an irrational barrage of snarky abuse & juvenile rantings that rarely even respond on topic.

Why I’m Turning Down Obama
Friday, May 16, 2008

“Operation Turndown” has deep roots in my own personal radical politics.

If Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee for president, I will not vote for him.

I will turn him down.

Judging from callers to “Corbett” yesterday, so will many other Democrats.

Democrats must follow their hearts and their heads.

I’m part of an impromptu movement born of outrage and frustration to…
http://deleted AnninCA

I’m certainly new to the blog stuff, and I was very confused by the terms being thrown around. It was shocking a few months ago how often I was accused of being a “rethug” or a “Neocon” or thinking with my Vagina or a part of the Granny Brigade.

The atmosphere was fascinating. I couldn’t imagine that these were Democrats. Finally, I got a handle on just how young so many of the posters had to be. They seemed to think I was a Hillary staff member. Actually, I thought the staff posts were pretty obvious. They were usually announcement-type deals.

The Huffington Post which launched Bitter-gate was apparently so blown away by being part of what took him down in PA that they started posting nothing but rumors and junk stuff about Hillary and ran off most of the Hillary posters.

Taylor Marsh is unabashedly a Hillary site, but the Huffington Post purports to be broader. It’s now living a lie, which simply won’t work for long. I know I haven’t bothered to even check it for several weeks now.

I couldn’t care less if bloggers are paid. Good for them. Great way to pick up money.

And ignoring them is the easiest way to get rid of them.

And how much are you being paid to blog for Obama?

We’ve heard about the “new, kinder” bloggers — you seem to fit that to a “t”.

Always excusing and explaining the Obamas.

WORM — what Obama really means.

Or WmORM — what Mrs. Obama really means.

Any more I don’t trust anyone with the message of: “cant we just get along” — mr&mrs Obama are really nice — really just believe and hope for change.

Mr. and Mrs. Obama are a National Security risk.

No — I cannot and will not get along with anyone who is trying to excuse or explain Mr&Mrs Obama.

I used to read and comment at the blog “Group News something” until one day recently appropos of nothing an obama jerkoff called me “racist and woman hating”. I responded by giving my age, and suggesting to him/her/it that if he were say that to my face I would show him/her/it why he/she/it shouldn’t say such a thing (course I called him/her/it a prick, also). Jesse, the writer of the blog I was commenting on, xxxx’ed out the sentence and explained it as I had threatened violence against a fellow commenter, which of course I didn’t do. As punishment I would receive one strike against me toward banishment. I, in return, told Jesse amongst other things to go fuck himself, that I would never earn him a penny by my accessing his site. What clowns.

mimi

I used to go there too. And around the time that Jesse wrote a piece called Cult of Personality, based on his own experience at the Washington state Caucus, all the Obama supporters there turned viscious and ugly. Before, on the old blog before the the death of Steve, you could pretty much say anything, as Steve seemed to enjoy a good verbal fight and could take care of himself. The new group who started it in his memory have very thin skins. After they still insulted me even though I said I would support Obama if he was the nominee, I decided to stop going there. A few weeks on the HuffPo caused me to change my mind altogether about supporting Obama. That was way back around Super Tuesday. I believe Obama and his campaign encouraged this and who knows maybe even paid for it. It was a stupid strategy and it’s cost him my support.

Lou

It’s their job. If they don’t hack, they don’t get paid. They want you to buy into the emotionalism. They are just blogging what they are told to blog for whatever flavor of the day.
They are playing the sexist card now towards all genders, races, ages, classes. In their mind, sexism is emotionalism. (They don’t really know the depth of sexism and don’t care because they are paid hacks.) They’ve been on the blogs playing nicey nice asking what is sexism and they didn’t think they have done that.

Just roll with it. People have bit the bait.
Let Go.
We stil have Hillary to help to make her case.

Everyone keep fighting against the Obama’s ‘postmodern fascist coup’ Yes we are fighting for free speech and so is Larry Sinclair, willing to risk the penalties of Federal Court in a case against Obama, Axelrod and the DNC!

Obama could come down faster than Spitzer! The Donald Young Murder intrigue is in supermarkets now. Buy a copy of the Globe with the Obama’s gay murder mystery on the top cover.

We know, or should all know that Obama is Wall Street’s Manchurian candidate. He will do nothing for the working poor and middle class. Hillary represents the potential revival of the Economic and moral leadership and courage of Franklin and Elanor Roosevelt. This is why Hillary has been dumped because she has what it takes to fight for the working people of this country against Wall Street.

Consider that 65% of the price of gas is Wall Street speculation!

Obama will do nothing!

Exactly. Obama will do nothing. No lending/credit changes. No withdrawing from Bush’s war.
It’ll mimic his neglect in his Chicago district.

Annin — I have read Michelle’s college thesis. She sounds like a racist to me. Would I have thought that a couple of years ago–probably not but that was pre-BO when people stated their ideas and beliefs without being labeled. Now however, every word is suspect–due to Mr. Obama. That said — I believe when you are running for President you have no business harboring any anti-American beliefs. This country is the greatest experiment known to man — the only country in the world where people no matter what color or religion work side by side for the same goal.

http://deleted AnninCA

Well, a lot of people write their theses on topics they are passionate about. My grandmother wrote a very startling piece on women in the workplace back in the 1920s. Regular feminist in her youth, apparently.

That’s all I meant. That was the period, too, when a huge number of minority and women college students were obsessed over cultural studies.
Nicole

Actually, there are other countries: one being Canada…a pretty fabulous place to live–a country that is extremely multicultural, relatively light on violence (far fewer guns…they’re hard to get). A place where freedom and equality can be had by all (including those of the same sex who wish to marry), universal health care, a parliamentary form of government (which means it’s easier to oust that unpopular PM), and all built on a capitalistic framework.
Northwest rain

Misguided PC liberals may believe that Mrs. Obama couldn’t possibly be a racist — unfortunately this ignorance of racism and xenophobia is exactly why a unqualified individual has gotten a pass.

Ignore the color of Obama’s skin and his gender and merely look at his resume — compare his resume to the other candidates — and well if THIS had been done why back when he was running for the office of US Senator — we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

AND Donna Brazile is also a racist.

moose-14

I don’t think it has anything to do with liberalism as much as it does with ideology.

Look at Bush, how do you explain the mindless support of him by at least 24 per cent, despite the last seven years?

And rather than reevaluate all that has happened, and what the REPUBLICAN party stands for, really, I see many attacking democrats (rightfully so, I have no use for those enabling big oil, torture, and suicidal wars, same as their republican peers)in the mindless tradition of a predictable Karl Rove move.

But it’s what they were taught, they don’t know any better, right?

The country is still failing, though, facing highly complex foreign policy problems, grave corruption, and economic disaster.

Yet this seems to be about some stupid Cheney troll, built on a flawed inferior ideological childish immature belief.

So the press has failed republicans, too, the press has failed America.

Try posting even a slightly negative post about Hillary at Hillaryis44.org. You’ll never even see it.

Shelly T

Why should anyone think they have the right to attack Hillary on a pro-Hillary site? It’s a private web site. Kos is much more public and a lot more well known. He considers himself a “journalist”. Most blog owners don’t. If he pretends to be a “journalist” then he has an obligation to be fair. Blog candidate support sites like Hillary44 are under no obligation to do that because they don’t pretend to be journalists. If Daily Kos is an Obama support site then he, as a “journalist” and TV pundit (and Newsweek columnist) has an obligation to his readers to present the site that way. Otherwise, he’s just a faux-journalism hack like Ann Coulter, which is how I categorize him anyway.

Shelly T

Wow, the misogynist and sexist posts I have read on Daily Kos equal no others except for the crap on Digg and DU. I long ago abandoned Kos and his sexist blind hordes. For him to pick out something that doesn’t agree with him and ban it is his prerogative, but then he’d have to ban about 95% of the other insulting BS on his site. It’s a garbage dump and not worth the time it even takes to log in there.

Kos is a sexist pig. So are his cult-like followers. All they do is add to the general Obama flotsam online.

There’s a difference between fact and rumor, absolutely.

And Alegre specifically highlighted that the part of her diary in question was rumor.

She didn’t present it as fact. She didn’t claim it as fact. She didn’t obfuscate that it wasn’t fact.

“Rumor” was the first damn word in the sentence they pulled. And it’s okay to publish rumors, as long as they are clearly labeled as such. Otherwise, there are a lot of tabloids and gossip sites that would have been sued into the ground years ago.

To demand citation for rumor is ridiculous. If there was a citation available, documented evidence to cite, then it wouldn’t be a damned rumor. It would be fact. Duh.
