Yet... Big Media is coddling the dems by whitewashing their report on Daily Kos from any of the frequent hate speech in their review of the Yearly Kos event.
This hate-filled rant at Daily Kos is sadly not the only anti-Semitic posting on the website.
Ron Fournier coddles the haters at Yearly Kos in his report on the event.
The AP reporter fails to mention the hate-filled content at the liberal website:
CHICAGO - Plunging headlong into the Internet era, Democratic presidential candidates on Saturday fought for the support of powerful and polarizing liberal bloggers by promising universal health care, aggressive government spending and dramatic change from the Bush era.Don't expect Hillary Clinton to ever be asked if she condones the hate speech from the Daily Kos...
Who will be about change? Who is the candidate for change? And how do we bring about change?" asked former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, suggesting his rivals are creatures of the status quo.
Seven of the eight leading candidates attended the second Yearly Kos convention, participating in a candidate forum and conducting individual sessions designed to be more freewheeling.
The convention drew 1,500 bloggers, most of them liberal(?), who represent the latest advancement in communicating and community.
Gone are the days when candidates and political parties could talk to passive voters through mass media, largely controlling what messages were distributed, how the messages went out and who heard them.
The Internet has help create millions of media outlets and given anyone the power to express an opinion or disseminate information in a global forum, and connect with others who have similar interests.
One way of doing this is through online journals, or blogs, such as those celebrated Saturday.
It is much too prickly a question to come from today's mainstream media.

Meanwhile... The Kossites are attacking soldiers at their yearly event.
Don Surber notes how the Leftists at Yearly Kos support the troops.

ReplyDeletere: The Kossites are attacking
soldiers at their yearly event.
i'm confused, i know Soltz didn't want him to speak, but he did say he could as long as he didn't say anything "political".. can someone please tell me what it was that the soldier said that was "political"??
thanks..

Kos isn't anti-semitic. 2 of the 3 posts you link to as evidence aren't that way at all and the third has been removed.
ReplyDeleteI can see that steve j had not been paying attention...
ReplyDeleteNone the less Don Suber at his Daily Mail site noted that a soldier in uniform was thrown out for alledgedly saying something political while being in uniform...
What's also notable about the video is just how empty the place is but Wesley Clark is there...

Soldier from Kos fiesta quotes Petraeus
excerpt:
[Sgt. Aguina quoted Gen. Petraeus when asked why he went into the fever swamps "This is part of the battlefield." Amen brother amen. That is a theme we need to focus on. This country managed to have a war-like footing for a bit right after 9/11, but normality here has gone almost completely undisturbed. The public has not felt any sacrifice as a whole, but they have been subjected to the relentless drumbeat of doom put out by the media.]
HT : Pajamas Media
"This Is Part Of The Battlefield"
excerpt:
["Technically, he was right," Aguina concedes. "He is a commissioned officer in the army and I follow the rules. I will respect his authority which is why today, I came in civilian uniform."
Aguina spoke to Pajamas Media on Saturday, returning to YearlyKos the day after he was led away from the panel by Soltz, now blending into the crowd in a charcoal gray suit with a white shirt and a black tie.
Despite his change of wardrobe, he remains boiling mad at Solz for angrily chastising him in public for violating military regulations. If he wants to get technical about it, Aguina counters, two can play at that game.
"If I'm in violation of AR670-1 which is the regulation he brought up, then he's in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice Article 88 which says no commissioned officer can criticize a government official."
Aguina also pointed out that Stolz violated the code of behavior between a commissioned and non commissioned officer. "Article 91," he said, forbids a commissioned officer from criticizing a non commissioned officer, and behaving in the "condescending" manner in which he was treated. "People in that audience didn't have to see an American soldier be as rude and disrespectful toward another American soldier."]
WAY TO SAY SOLDIER!! (thumbsup)
