Where do you live? My nephew lives in San Fran, goes to Berkeley. My daughter lives in San Fran, goes to Cal. They are nothing like you describe. San Fransisco is a great city. Have you even ever lived or visited there? STOP. I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER. IT IS NO. AGAIN, WHERE DO YOU LIVE? SOMEWHERE NEAR EAST BUMFUCK, NO DOUBT. LIBERALS ARE VERY TOLERANT, THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN NICE TO ME, AND I'M A REPUBLICAN. NO JOURNALIST IS A DISGRACE, THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY AND FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IS SACRED.

Markos makes interesting points, but are we not just replacing one expert for another. I don't really value Kos contributions over CNN, althought they have a more accurate critique. I agree that the internet has opened us up, but the internet has a lot of crappy information.

@IdiotsForObamaCom you're full of it buddy. Palin's a self centered, stupid self aggrandizing gargoyle. She's a greedy which. Obama will win in 2012--whether ya like it or not.

It is a good thing that conservative media is keeping track of homegrown folks like Markos. They can then be picked out and discarded out of the body politick one Lib at a time.

Daily KOS and other left wing blogs are notoriously fraudulent (see the recent news regarding their polling firm) and tightly regulated and censored to omit opposing opinion. The latter is the antithesis of the internets short history as a truly free and open platform where all opinion, even crude, has been allowed. Folks like Markos are helping to form a fascistic internet environment, and it is a sad day when they are celebrated for it.

[KingDingaLing090]

You know libturds are dumb when people like this think their opinion is relevant.

[IdiotsForObamaCom]

Well, Palin's still better than Obama. I bet Palin would poll better than Obama at the tea party. Liberals are idiots BUT we at least prove it. visit IDIOTS4OBAMA COM for the overwhelming evidence of just how fucking dumb liberals are.

All you need to know about the site DailyKos is that the dingbat Canuck Naomi Klein's "Shock Doctrine" was chosen by Zuniga's little community of Leftards as the most 'influential' book in their pathetic lives.
