Every liberal blog that opposes the filibuster has forsaken the right
to call itself "liberal."

I'm talking to you, Americablog and Liberal Oasis. How dare you disparage the the few Democrats who have the courage of their convictions to try to stop this madman? You are all right-wing enablers in my eyes, and there is precious little you can say to redeem yourself. Go to hell.


Keep the phone lines burning, DU, the traitors and enablers are working overtime to get Alito through... WE THE PEOPLE can do this!

1. For some of them, it was a matter of it being Kerry
It shouldn't have mattered who it was.

5. They are anti-American
You cannot oppose this and claim to be liberal. You cannot oppose Kerry on this and still pretend to be liberal. They are right-wing enablers and should be treated as such from now on.

2. KOS also opposes the fillibuster, but no one on his site agrees with him

3. Kos is rapidly becoming irrelevant
And it's about time his hypocrisy comes back to haunt him.

9. Nah, Kos has been a hypocrite for a long time
A New Democrat who wants to wage "war" on the DLC. A pundit who bases his opinions on polls and conventional wisdom, yet claims to hate that trait, real or imagined, in politicians. A self-described "strategist" who admits he doesn't give a damn about ideology who says he wants Democrats to "fight" and "stand for something." A man who says he hates the DLC but describes himself as centrist and who supports moderate Bob Casey vigorously.

Kos is a two-faced asshat who is out for one thing and one thing only: Kos. His site is a nice tool only in the sense that it allows like-minded liberals to organize actions and activism. Kos himself IS a tool with no spine, principle, or constancy.

11. Really? Ok.
I started going to KOS recently, and I heard him on Air America a while back. I've got no problem with him, but I'll start looking at it from your perspective.

10. What Kos REALLY said about the filibuster
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/1/26/183015/942
I'm not saying "don't filibuster". I'm saying, "the math is not good. We need to make it better in the future". Personally, I'd like to see a little fight on the part of Dems, and the way to do that is to filibuster. Even if it might be ultimately unsuccessful. The fact that it would put Chafee and maybe DeWine in a difficult spot would be a bonus.
