You may have read recently about a brewing scandal in the blogosphere as it relates to one Markos Moulitsas Zúniga, aka Kos of “Daily Kos” liberal blog infamy, involving an alleged ‘pay for favoritism’ scheme.
To find out more, John Hawkins sorts out all the stories and has the 411 regarding the who, what, when, where and the potential why.
Once you get done reading the TNR link and Hawkins’ link, you’ll understand Jeff Goldstein’s point about the collective mindset of the lefty blogosphere, folks who routinely criticize the right as being mindless group thinkers who obediently follow when commanded by their ‘leaders.’
Pass the popcorn, please. 
So, tell me what to think, O mighty leader!

The inconsistency continues with consistent hypocritical inconsistency or as the dawg turns, so turns the tale.

To be a Democrat, you have to be a mindless, lying, hypocrite.

So now that we’ve established what G_dless “Theism”, absolute adherence to responsibility avoidence, class warfare, race warfare, and an absolutely insane insistance of being right abouot everything, while practicing group think paranoia, equvalency, revisionism for anything that disaggree’s with you, mindless dogmatic loyalty to a rather questionable character, do you think its fair to say at this point that “Progressives” have raised projection to an art form. JR would be proud….

- Liberals need to drop the little red book, step back from the star chamber, and get some therapy badly.
- As I mentioned the other day, I can picture the average loon “Progressive” Kossack kneeling in front of an old fashioned horn speaker, head tilted, obssessing on every word from his fearless comrade leader. RCA! (Rightwing Conspiracy Avoided)
- Kos and Armstrongs money finagling they can be silent on by command, Americans National secrets, not so much. What a bunch of nutcase losers…
- Just as an aside, I wonder how many other readers can devine the reference to “kosola”….. or would that be severely dating myself…

“Kosola is seen today as the father of modern Finnish National Socialism.”
Oh, mighty breeder of cattle and other related delights, say it aint so!

- Well Forest thats absolutely correct. But I had in mind yet another reference, going back to the late 50’s, early 60’s, a word that became part of the common lexicon, in of all places, the pop music world.
- “Payola” ring any bells. Certainly seems to apply in this case as well.

- So their fearless Comrade leader is in the tank for the bucks, and his closest advisor is a medium…

- Memorable moments in history:
* 1937 - The horrendous crash of the Hindenburg Graff Zeplin…
* 2006 - The merciful crash of the “Astrology based community” and its Premier Kossack.
