Well, Markos banned me for criticizing him |
|
So I no longer have an account at Kos (at least not with the option to do a new diary, or rate comments). Whatever. Markos is a scumbag tool working for the powers that be in the Democratic party, methinks, and was out to trash Hackett the whole time (his buddy, Jerome, trolled around at Kos criticizing Hackett - and then it turned out he was on the Brown payroll). I think Sam Seder needs to stop allowing Markos on his radio show.

If anyone said that to me, that woulda gotten 'em banned from DU, too.

9. Is There A Link Or A Cached Post? |
|
BTW...wasn't it Kos who championed Hackett and brought him to the attention of many of us who hadn't heard of him? Wasn't it kos that directed people to donate to Hackett's campaign and organized people to make phone calls for him? Oh, I guess that musta been a different Kos.

He's been with Brown the whole time, with his buddy Jerome.

17. I've Followed This On MyDD |
|
I know Matt and Chris are good friends with Kos and Jerome...but I've also tried to be objective about this. I knew this was coming to a head and am sorry to see it turn into such a flame war...but better on here than in a costly primary battle.

11. You've gotta be kidding. |
|
His new book excoriates the powers that be in the Democratic party.
Sherrod Brown has a solid progressive record.
Just because Kos isn't as bent out of shape over this as you are doesn't mean he's evil. Grow up.

Of good diarists and insightful people at Kos' community Scoop based website.
Kos ain't one of them.

16. I've never been a fan of Kos... I've only gone there on occasion when |
|
someone links there from here... I became politically active after the last election, and when he wouldn't let election fraud be discussed in detail, I knew that was not somewhere that I wanted to be..

18. I don't believe you should say things in anonymity, |
|
that you wouldn't have the guts to say to that person's face. I doubt it you would tell Markos face to face to "fuck off." The anonymity of our identities allows some of us to say a lot that we normally wouldn't say.
But I guarantee you that if you did tell me to fuck off in person, you would be picking your sorry ass up off of the floor.
I do not blame KOS for banning you.
Let us have a little more decorum around here.

I went over and read deleted statements. It was a lot more comments then the f+++ off to one guy and that one said a lot more then that.
It was a pretty fiercely emotional thread...I always quit reading posts that turn to name calling and insults. Strong feelings can be put other ways, the # of swear words aren't how you win a debate. You might not have been the only one banned through that thread, don't know. I never see differing opinions be rated off the page, just ones that were really insulting.
I really appreciate both of these sites. I was on Daily Kos first but hated the lack of posts allowed about election fraud. My son told me about this site and what a relief it was to find it.
I like how things are handled here. Some things, like 9-11, are sent to another forum, but people are able to talk about what they need to. I'm poor but paltry donations I do send to support forums are only here.
But there are good threads over there too, many good threads.
But I think in either place those comments might have had the same results. Sometimes it's better to cool off first. Nothing wrong with the strong emotions or opinions though.

27. Kos has always been a hypocritical tool |
|
The guy who is waging "war" against the DLC is also a member of the New Democratic Network (AKA = DLC). He's a paid candidate shill and a hypocrite of the highest order, a thug who admittedly doesn't care about issues, but only "strategy." He wants to be Karl Rove, and he still has enough ego to think that his site is actually about him. Fuck him.

28. The new book by Kos and Jerome is about the establishment's failures... |
|
and it is called "Crashing the Gates." I would explain who is crashing the gates, but I think you know.

35. You mean Kos the hypocrite? |
|
Kos who wants to wage "war" on the DLC and the "establishment" even as he is a member of the NDN? Kos who takes money and favors in return for influence? Kos who admittedly doesn't care about ideology or issues, but only about "strategy"?
I think Kos is the LAST person who needs to be lecturing Democrats about anything. He can't even figure out what he believes from day to day.

34. Kos has never come out and endorsed Brown |
|
he has always had nice things to say about both of them. He even worked to raise money for Hackett in his special election against Mean-Jean. BTW, I can see why Kos would ban someone if they said "fuck you." Giving him the Dick Cheney treatment (minus shooting him) will not go over well.
