Moonbat Fratricide: Writer's strike at "Daily Kos"
This is an open letter to the progressive blogosphere...
Ive 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 Ive noticed that things have become progressively more abusive toward my candidate and her supporters.
Ive put up with the abuse and anger because Ive 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."
| Ye olde circular firing squad ... |
Ive decided to go on "strike" and will refrain from posting here as long as the administrators allow the more disruptive members of our community to trash Hillary Clinton and distort her record without any fear of consequence or retribution.
"Not unless you allow us equal time to trash and distort correct the record of her coke-snorting, closet-Muslim, miscegenated opponent"
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.
The whole point of a strike is to be missed. If no one will miss you, then going on strike is just...well, not very smart. It doesn't make sense. Just blog somewhere else where you're appreciated.
Yay!! Progressive sellouts, go home! Plant seeds of Rovian politics at other sites, and vacate these hallowed grounds!
You, author of diary, epitomize the worst traits of progressives: steadfast insistence on ALL-THE-WAY with your preferred candidate, even when such repulsive behaviors and strategies emerge which would have outraged you had they been from Bush Republicans.
But you want what you want, and feel entitled to get who you want, more than you care about the damage that this candidate has created all across America and certainly across progressive land.
Until you and your compadres can learn to apply critical thinking and fairness and standards of excellence to your candidates, thereby appealing to the best America we can have, then it is apleasure to have your voice self-censored here.
Please take as long as you like. And please enjoy posting in your newly plowed lands; may you reap a harvest that keeps you happy there.
Buy bye cruel...wait, I forgot, we are just strikin'. Why don't we all come back here if Hillary gets the nod, if nuthin else, just to do a big group "nanny nanny boo boo". ; )
lmao you and all the other mydd'ers only your NoDkos patch. We'll see you back here once Barack has taken the oath of office in spite of your votes for McCain. p.s. you might want to consider more than a person's chromosomes next time when you pick whom to support.
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.
