NBC Nightly News.....Great story on the Kos convention
Good coverage of the liberal net roots movement. WE ARE A MOVEMENT.

Heads up, West Coast, I guess.

2. Kos Caucus
Wouldn't be great if we had a third party -- the Kos Party -- and they just selected their candidate!

3. If I'm not mistaken
Kos is an Army veteran. And recently I have heard Falafel O'Lielly calling him a Nazi, commie, whatever. It has to take quite a bit of hubris for a yellow-belly draft-dodging coward like O'Lielly to call a Veteran anti-American. But then again, O'Lielly just takes after the rest of the neocon chickenhawks I guess.

4. The two Party system sucks!
America vitally needs a multi-party system. I prefer a Parliamentary System. Busholini would have lasted a week under one. The Nation would have shuddered with such shame that he would be throw out in at least a week.

7. O'Lielly, Limbaugh, Hannity = Chickenhawks all
Edited on Sat Aug-04-07 06:21 PM by SpiralHawk
If a republicon Homelander is making a Big Noise about the Need for war, you can bet a sack of doughnuts he is a CHICKENHAWK.

These republicon clowns make me sick. They are delighted to send somebody else off to war, but they wimp out with Anal Pimples and other lame excuses. Hypocricy is too nice a word for them.

But what the Hell can we expect when the republicon Homelander partee is led by a deserter (Commander AWOL), and a VP Clown, Cheney, with Five (5) freaking Military Deferments.

Shame on them all, sending our sons and daughters off to die Nation Building Fiascos and Oil Profit Crusades that benefit only fat car republicon Homelanders.

5. It Was A Very Well Run Forum
Except for having to walk all over to get from one forum to another, the convention was very well organized and very professionally run. Sorry, no reefer smoke or anarcists running around...but it did seem that every other badge I saw had a "media" sticker.

Yes, it's definitely a movement and a very diverse one as well...and hopefully one that endures to follow through on the change. Today, the Democratic party showed its respect and the media saw a side of the netroots that was different than the one they were warned by BillO they'd see.
