Does Kos Have A ‘Israel’ Problem
You betcha they do. (They also have a anti-american problem, an anti-military problem, an anti-life problem, but one thing at a time please):
Perhaps sensing that this issue could highlight just how far removed the Kos community is from the American mainstream, Moulitsas and his other front-page bloggers have opted to ignore Israel’s war. Combined, the half dozen front-pagers have written exactly one post on the subject. And that post, authored by Moulitsas, simply declared that he wouldn’t write anything further on the subject. So while the most important story of the year develops, the nation’s leading progressive blog has chosen to focus on the Indiana second district House race between Chris Chocola and Joe Donnelly. Nothing wrong with that; it’s their prerogative to blog about whatever they like.
Follow the ‘leader’:
On the other hand, there is the Daily Kos community. As proprietor Markos Moulitsas frequently notes, the Kos community is representative of the “people-powered movement.” They are not led by one person; indeed, they are not led at all.
But alas, not all the Kos commentators blame Israel, some even call for the ……… destruction of Israel:
But a glance through the Daily Kos diaries reveals that not all Americans are united on such matters as whether it is “for the United States to dictate to Israel how it defends itself.” Indeed, not even all Americans are united on whether or not Israel is a “terrorist state.” Some Americans believe that Israel should not exist. And these are the Americans that Lamont and other Democrats have so eagerly embraced.
