[Welcome, Shakespeare’s Sister readers. See Paul Lukasiak for an explanation of why this is happening. “Flailing”? “Spittle”? Project much?]

sow

Just for the record. And I’m glad to see Axelrod’s online strategy working so well.

Now, to be fair, if you check the thread, the commenter does retract “sow” and replace it with “pig,” after having had the sexist implications of “sow” explained by one or two commenters (assuming unfeigned ignorance). Baby steps! Still, the 41 voted for “sow,” as Kos doesn’t allow comments to be edited. So there you are!

And Some People Say Obama Might Have a Problem with Women Voters

Crazy talk.

Euggh!!

I need to take a shower. Lambert, I honestly don’t know how you can stand it, and wade into that cesspool. I was never one big for the GOS, I prefer smaller venues where you can have day long conversations, instead of snarky one liners, but whatever floats your boat.

But the one thing about the progressive blogosphere that I always felt good about, is that shit wouldn’t be tolerated.

That is just such unadulterated garbage, I can’t believe it, til I see it. These people have completely forgotten the lost art of scathing commentary, it’s just now he can say the nastiest slur against another human being, without even using bad language!! As if that’s something to be PROUD of?

I think Clinton’s gun pander is silly, but I don’t doubt the veracity of it. I know exactly where she is talking about, though I live nowhere near PA. They aren’t all the same, and politicians should always avoid using broad brushes, but there is a gun culture here, so yes everybody has used a rifle, been hunting or fishing, and eaten plenty of fresh fish and venison.

And, now, it’s supposed to be an insult to be compared to Annie Oakley? Though these people think making a Rocky comparison is supposed to be demeaning, so maybe they just don’t have a clue.

But, honestly, I expected the great bastion of the progressive blogosphere* to look a little different than the Free Republic.

*I know GOS isn’t really that, but it’s one of the biggest and well-known(thanks to that business model lambert keeps mentioning).

Bill Clinton for First Dude!!!

And This Is Supposed To Be the Leading Progressive Site

Which is why I’ve gone back to calling myself a liberal.

Wow!

It’s just now that they’re realizing they will need our help if he is the nominee? A little too late for a truce for many I’m afraid. I wouldn’t be surprised if Alien Abductee later got flamed for making such a reasonable suggestion.

Kos thinks his site is diverse

Markos actually denies his site is just for left-wing liberals and actually believes the site is tolerant of moderate Dems. At least that’s what he tried to say on MTP. Whatever you call it, progressive or liberal, one thing the site is not, is tolerant or inclusive.

I really like this comment best

“Speaking of short-sighted (16+ / 0-)
and “trading off perceived short-term gains for other long-term opportunities,” people might want to start considering that Clinton’s supporters - and there are millions of them - will have to vote for Obama in November if we want to win. As an Obama supporter who wants to win, and win big, in November, I’d like to suggest it’s time to start thinking twice before throwing more fuel on the fire with comments like this. Soon enough we’re all going to need to be on the same side.
Clinton Campaign Lies About Michigan-Florida Revotes

————————————-

You see, it’s time for the assholes to stop acting like assholes because they’re going to need all the “flailing, spittle-flecked hot mess of a human being’s” low information, clinging rubes to help them win!
They can KMA now and in for the future.

When did Free Republic change its color scheme

and start using scoop?

troll shit

Stuff like that is troll shit. POS repuglie trolls spout devisive shit like this and get away with it. kos is a failure because he enables it. Fuck kos and the trolls.

Yeah, but look at the numbers

That troll got 41 points, to 6 for the dull normals.

It reminds me of the stories of Czarist Russia, where the domestic intelligence service was so good that they wouldn’t just infiltrate organizations, they’d get so many operatives in that they effectively controlled them. I mean, is everyone at Kos a troll? Not even I think that. Nevertheless, the virulence on that thread is something a lot of people experienced and had enough of. That’s why the exodus.

The same idea is in Philip K. Dick’s Game Players of Titan: “We are entirely surrounded by vugs, vugs, vugs.”

"Vile propaganda"

Congrats, Lambert, you are a vile propagandist!!!eleven!!1!

"Vile Propaganda"

Chicks are being delusional and unreasonable. But it’s just occurred to me that we’ll need them in November so let’s all put on our Nice Guy hats and not call their candidate of choice a bitch or a sow for a while, m’kay?

Speaking of vile propaganda

Check out the ABC News poll. Look at what happens when the people are flooded with misinformation and an all-out smear campaign. By a 2-1 margin, Democrats (including Democratic “leaning” Independents) believe Obama is the more electable candidate. And 58% of all Americans believe Clinton is untrustworthy and dishonest. This is how they’re going to try and take her out: have everyone believe she’s unelectable because she’s so damn unlikeable, just to fuck with the popular vote count

Fuck!

It's like the Boiz are driving

the Democratic party bus, and we’re in the back yelling “Look-out! The bridge is out ahead! Stop! Turn around!”

To which they reply “STFU!” as they floor the accelerator.

The worst part is knowing that when we’re all laying mangled in the wreckage at the bottom of the ravine, hearing the sound of John McCain dancing the Funky Chicken at his inauguration ball playing on the AM radio, the Boiz will say, “It’s Hillary’s fault.”

I think the polls are like anything else this year

Nobody knows anything.

They are to be approached with a hermeneutic of suspicion….

Some are right, but ultimately, the voters will speak….

Thoughtful DK commenters weigh in

Not.

noez

I’m totally feelin the Unity. But thanks for the link, though. A C list blogger needs the hits.

I mean, really. What other appropriate words are there for people who call a Democratic U.S. Senator a “sow”? Don’t “cesspool,” “asshole,” and Freeper-like describe the atmosphere accurately?

Now, I'm Hurt

No mention of my comment about Obama’s problem with women voters? Oh, wait, that might accidentally make them think about potential consequences of their actions and where’s the fun in that.

They do realize, right, that the problems with MI and FL in the primary notwithstanding, all of those women voting for Clinton in the primaries also get to vote in the GE?

Funky Chicken? wouldn't it be the Lindy?

he’s too old for 60’s and 70’s dances—he graduated college in the 50s (he’s actually even pre-rock and roll for the most part, like my parents).

Wonder if Bill O might find this useful

He always does something on the evil of Kos. I might email this link.

Score!

I made it to some DailKook’s diary! I’m somebody now!
As for that ABC poll. I’m living here in the most densely populated, large town in Bucks County, PA and there is a hell of alot more Hillary yard signs here then there are snObama signs. In fact, I’ve only seen one snObama sign, and it was on a neighbor’s yard who I am friendly with. He, like me is a dedicated Democrat. He’s a lunch bucket, Union Dem who doesn’t use the Internet. He asked me about the Primary and I told him the more you learn about Obama, the less you’re going to like him. Then snObama-gate broke. Needless to say, my Catholic friend didn’t care for that one too much.

Lambert: You're insulting

cesspools and assholes.

Cesspools are cleaner and like assholes they perform a useful function.

The “Freeper-like” thing was on the money though.

As Commenter Janis Said

“[A]s far as women are concerned, there are two parties: those that hate us, and those that don’t. And the boundary line dividing those two parties doesn’t have a damned thing to do with the line dividing Democrat from Republican, or liberal from conservative.”
