I started hating the Daily Kos after 2004, for their maliciously ignorant denial of election fraud then. Somehow over the years my sunny disposition had hidden the hate, and I completely forgot about it. But after reading some of the comments there, and seeing what Markos or whatever the fuck his name is had to say in yesterdays Dallas Morning News:
Markos Moulitsas, who runs the popular site DailyKos, called the allegations "a load of bull" from "a bunch of cranks." Mr. Moulitsas, who has said he'll vote for Mr. Obama, also said it was typical of the blogosphere to host a "tiny minority" who pose "wild claims."
"This is the price you pay for a medium that democratizes media access," he said. "But really, is that any different than traditional media outlets who pushed the conspiracy theory that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction? A little skepticism from the public in regards to all media would be well advised."
What a smug asshole. People like him make me embarrassed to be a registered Democrat.
