In reply to the discussion: so we have a racist piece of shit being posted because she calls Bernie a racist [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)even more certain. NRN used to be called Kos nation or something with his name in it, since he, supposedly, started it. IT was a Third Way construct designed to imitate Right Wing 'fellowships' etc, to 'reign in' dems/lefties. It was presented as so exciting that all those on the site at the time, could 'get to meet the front pagers, the 'girls' could buy a raffle ticket to win a lunch with one of the 'sexiest' front pagers. So exciting!
Politicians were invited, a Chocolate Fountain was the center piece of the big celebration provided by one of the Blue Dogs airc.
I wasn't there, wasn't interested, it seemed like a Corporate board meeting with the little people to let them what was expected of them, but they would have lots of fun etc etc
It didn't always work out the way they intended. The masses who attended were often rebellious with politicians, like Pelosi re prosecuting war criminals etc.
The name changed once they got it established using members of Daily Kos to do so. Then they renamed it.
Anything to do with kos means 'party operated' specifically Third Way.
Bernie was ambushed, lies were told about him, typical of that organization under kos. So the minute I saw it I knew it was intended. They've had some pretty nasty people at that site, pretending at first to be ordinary voters, later revealing they were political operatives, after they roped people in, then bashed, mostly the Left.
I'm not impressed with ambitious Sarah Palin fans from the far right but for political purposes anything goes it seems.
I wonder where they are now, last I saw they were bashing Simone Sanders.
