Moonbat Fratricide: Writer's strike at "Daily Kos" | |
2008-03-15 | |
This is an open letter to the progressive blogosphere... IÂ’ve been posting at DailyKos for nearly 4 years now and started writing diaries in support of Hillary Clinton back in June of last year. Over the past few months IÂ’ve noticed that things have become progressively more abusive toward my candidate and her supporters. IÂ’ve put up with the abuse and anger because IÂ’ve always believed in what our on-line community has tried to accomplish in this world. No more. DailyKos is not the site it once was thanks to the abusive nature of certain members of our community. Well, let's see. It's always been abusive, foul-mouthed, and classless, so what's new? Oh, I see now. In the words of Noam Chomsky, "the guns have turned inward."
"Not unless you allow us equal time to I will not be posting at DailyKos effective immediately. "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!" I will not help drive up traffic or page-hits as long as my candidate – a good and fine DEMOCRAT - is attacked in such a horrid and sexist manner not only by other diarists, but by several of those posting to the front page. Reactions in the comments box are entertaining, to say the least: oh dear, Alegre plays the pity us card after being a complete attack dog for Hillary, oh, poor, poor, unappreciated Alegre - I agree, you're perspective of this site has changed. But, I disagree that we've changed -- you have. We're progressives -- I don't think you are. There is also this refreshing blast of honesty: How were our attacks of Lieberman any more respectful? More amusing KKKos KKKiddie fun and froliKKK here. | |

#4 Wow, we may be a bunch of a-holes in our own respect, but those people of really into conformity of thought. Deviate from what they call approved "progressive" ideas and you better watch your ass. Kind of makes the little spats we have here look, well, friendly in comparison. |

#3 "I will not help drive up traffic or page-hits as long as my candidate – a good and fine DEMOCRAT - " artificial? or just the normal hits from blogging normally? |
