Which is not to say that advertising links fall under the same category…they’re a ‘take it or leave it’ thing that don’t imply any alignment. Besides, I do love funneling liberal money into conservative coffers by clicking the links they put up on our blogs.

..just buy that man a copy of “The Internet for Dummies.

That’s too advanced for Bill.

“… and Michelle’s blog may have evil doers posting evil things.”

HEY! I resent that!

Not that I’m into sinister conspiracies, but I have to wonder how much of a role Soros financing plays in this behind the scenes.

Probably not much -

I think you are very much mistaken. Soros is THE moneybag behind the nutroots. He’s kept moveon afloat and no doubt funds KOS. Both Soros and Theresa Kerry donate millions of dollars to leftwing organizations like the Tides Foundation, who redistribute the money to strictly leftwing causes. Another big contributor to leftist causes is MS co-founder Paul Allen, though not just to leftwing causes.

Soros is such a big Bush-hater, personally, that he dumped millions into the nutroots’ bank accounts for the 2006 election and was a heavy Democratic Party donor to defeat Bush in 2004.

Soros is also a convicted crook (EU market rigging), a naturalized US citizen, and is the epitome of everything that “progressives” love to hate — greedy and power hungry.

Yet they except his money, cheerfully, and one has to wonder how much of his personal agenda has become the agenda of KOS, Moveon, DU, and so on. As they say, money talks and bullsh*t walks.

The average visitor spends only a few seconds reading the front page, but spikes of more than 1.1 million visitors in a single day aren’t unusual. To have access to those eyeballs, advertisers pay up to $14,000 a month. Moulitsas says he’s on track to make $600,000 in revenue this year, and his expenses don’t go much beyond programming and $7,000 a month for servers and bandwidth.

Close to 99 percent of the site is user-generated – it hosts 14,000 comments a day and 2,000 miniblogs called diaries. Moulitsas has figured out how to turn readers into writers, to transform discontent into content.

You would think that progressive dogma would demand that he pay at least a living wage to his content generators.

It’s nice to see Bill O’Reilly give time to discuss blogs and the internet (thank you Al Gore!). He used to be quite dismissive of the internet and it’s effect via blogs.

Now if he’d ever read one. KP, at times, seemed to want to smack him kinda like what I wanna do to some customers. Miss Powers, just buy that man a copy of “The Internet for Dummies.”

But to the left everything we do is evil. Hence evildoers on this site.

But for the brevity required by TV, I can imagine Michelle pausing and saying “I wear that slur as a badge of honor.”

That would be like John Edwards going bald. The world would end as we know it

Hmmm. So like how do we know that Silky Pony isn’t ALREADY bald, and that his appearances are not be filled by Japanese androids — a la Stepford wives.
(Oops. I KNEW that I was lingering in that Cindy Sheehan thread WAY too long.)

I guess I’m saying it should be looked into, but don’t be shocked if he doesn’t have a hand in.

Evidently, Kos is more influential than the Democrat Leadership Council….

I think a top notch California based mental institution would make a great sponsor for the DailyKos. It would certainly have the audience they seek.

That would be San Fransicko…

You’re right about that, William. “Better to remain silent and be thougt a fool, rather than speak and remove all doubt” can’t be applied to BOR.

I really like these segments with BOR, KP,& MM. But Bill needs to talk just a little bit less.

I do think it’s possible, contra Kirsten’s “Wild West” contention, for corporations to sponsor blogs in good conscience, but the blogs seeking such sponsorship have to be able to assure sponsors that their sites won’t be filled with Kossack (or the right wing equivalent) hate.

Isn’t it the nature of the blogosphere that people post their feelings good or bad? You and I can define what we believe hate is, and for the most part, I think we would be in agreement. But there are exceptions to the rule and the less tolerant among us can find offense in anything. I’ve witnessed that on this very blog (one I find to be almost family-friendly). Certainly I would agree the DailyKos is a hate-filled website who frequently eats their own for a radical agenda, but then my views couldn’t be farther to the right of theirs, or those who post comments there. Even taking sharp exception to what I consider disgusting comments over there, I haven’t seen an internet code clearly defining hate that many corporations can measure a blog against. As an example, Allah is an atheist whose occasional comments regarding Christianity (no, I’m not turning this into another religious debate – just developing an example) could really turn off many who have strong religious beliefs, and could be viewed as hate speech by someone sensitive enough to be offended by it. Should a boycott of Hot Air occur? God forbid! I love this site. Just saying, it’s harder to define than that.

Ace probably filled the mailboxes with reports from the hobo convention.

Dude, I don’t even wanna know what is on those pics…

who’d'a thunk it?

The liberal blogosphere, unchallenged by anything resembling a fact, …

And undeterred when faced with one…
