Every time I try to go to DKos and try to see stuff for myself, I just end up feeling dirty after about 5 minutes in that cesspool…..

Yeesh…

[...] I’d be remiss if I failed to note that Maryscott O’Connor — yeah, that Maryscott O’Connor — left a very solid comment at Goldstein’s site yesterday. You can’t see it now, but you will when he’s back up. O’Connor was also responsible for that post at dKos a few days ago. [...]

Kiss of death watch: Ned Lamont…

The inter-Kossack feuding, IMHO, all goes back to the question: How is that $832,000 revenue stream divvied up? Once the left-wing lemmings in the Million Moonbat March figured out that Kos and Jerome were getting filthy rich via “progressive activism…

Jesus, Armando is for real a big-shot corporate lawyer? Is that blog just some sort of regression-therapy for him or something? He is acting like a freakin’ twelve year old girl.

Koz is a fraud, intellectually dishonest and he dresses funny.
Let them tear each other up-in the end they’ll blame all their problems on Bush, anyway.

Strange how Kos strongly supports candidates that his buddy, Unknown Jerome, happens to collect “consulting fees” from.

[...] Allah points to further instances of Trotskyite behavior, within the inner councils of the Nutroots itself, dKos diaries: first, this one by Richard1052, and then this by the well-known Maryscott Oconnor. [Excerpt]: There is a sort of groupthink, Lord of the Flies kind of behaviour at DKos over certain issues that absolutely makes me nauseated. The great irony for me is that, at one time, for a long time, in fact, I was one of the people who behaved like that. I was a ringleader of “Shut Your Fucking Pie Hole” orange shirts, especially with regard to anything to do with Kerry and his abysmal campaign. I would not countenance criticism of the candidate — to the extent that I led a group of DKos villagers around carrying virtual torches, stamping out dissent wherever we found it. [...]

Is Maryscott O’Connor the Trotsky analog? Or is it Kevin Drum?

If Gore’s the real president, that means Lieberman is the real vice president, yes? So why do they hate him so much? Unless at some point during Gore’s unpresidency, Gore pseudofired Lieberman and so now that’s why he’s bad. Oh, and also he doesn’t like terrorists.

However, there have been some dissonant chords here and there. The example that comes to mind: The Paul Hackett Affair.

I was bowled over when Markos mentioned Paul Hackett in his keynote speech at YKos as an example of the power of the “netroots” — not least because when Rahm Emanuel et al threw Hackett under the bus, Markos almost immediately declared that while he was loath to say it, Brown stood a far better chance at winning than did Hackett — mostly because Brown had the support of the powers that be in the Democratic Party.

Markos’s explanation for switching allegiances from Hackett to Brown seemed, frankly, a strange rationale, being that Hackett could have been the ultimate test case for the “Crashing the Gates” experiment. Still, it wasn’t altogether shocking that Markos decide to support Brown’s candidacy, given that his friend Jerome once consulted for Brown (just as it isn’t surprising that Markos now gives Mark warner the benefit of the doubt, given Jerome’s position with the Warner campaign; why people profess shock at this is beyond me – if one of my best friends worked for a pol, I’d be inclined to look with different eyes at said pol), especially once it was clear Hackett was to be thoroughly abandoned by the party “leadership.” But I’ll be clear: it was shocking. And, I still believe, the wrong decision. I read Crashing the Gates, you see. And abandoning Hackett, signing on with the candidate anointed by the DLC, seemed in complete contradiction to the ideas and ideals behind Markos’s book.

She’s absolutely right, which may be a first. But this isn’t news to anyone who’s been paying attention.
