Audacity of Truth
Spinsational:
"We were so busy just getting stuff done and dealing with the immediate crises that were in front of us that I think we lost some of that sense of speaking directly to the American people about what their core values are and why we have to make sure those institutions are matching up with those values."

Kos Thug Arrested [Update: Not Arrested...detained]
Seems he went out and took that Air America press pass for a spin…and got busted:
Allen supporters know Stark from an incident in Charlottesville earlier this week, where the liberal blogger was tackled and carried out by Allen fans, after shouting a question, and reportedly getting aggressive.
And today, Stark wanted to take care of unfinished business from that incident, asking the Senator about something he allegedly said.
“He said that he wanted to knock the soft teeth down the whiny liberals throats,” Stark cites. “And I wanted to ask the Senator if that’s why he didn’t stop his campaign aides and supporters from beating me down at the last event”
But Stark didn’t get to ask that question. Instead, he says, he saw Allen supporters conspiring against him to get him thrown out.
“The kid that was standing in front of me came flying into the picture, barely brushed my tricep here, and then took a dive,” Stark claims.
Stark was immediately cuffed, carried out, and held until the Allen supporter, that ended up on the ground, said he wouldn’t press charges.
Stark says his goal with these spectacles is to ask the tough questions that aren’t being asked…
You remember our little friend from a few days ago, when he was claiming that they assaulted him for no reason and it turned out that they were protecting Allen from what they deemed (rightly so) to be a hostile threat to the Senator. I mean, if you have some nutjob shoving and pushing people around, trying to get at an elected official, wouldn’t you be concerned? I’d like to see him try that kind of behavior around the Secret Service…regardless of WHO the President is, they’d bust his chops so quick, it’d make his pointy-head spin.
In any case, he’s crying about it yet again, that they’re trying to stiffle his freedom of speech. Because as we know, no liberal has ever tried to do that to a conservative. You know, we’ve never seen any pies or condiments thrown on our people. No lefty activist has never rushed the stage. Nothing like that has ever happened before, so why on earth would conservatives want to react like this to a perfectly harmless guy?
Ok, ok. I almost made it through that last bit with a straight face, but not quite. =D
It’s simple: you act like a thug, you get treated like a thug. You know the old saying, you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar (or whatever it was that Grandma used to say). It applies to politics and the press, as well. If this guy wants answers, he should stop the running around like an amateur Oswald and instead politely get in line and then politely ask his questions. Doesn’t mean it will get answered, but if he keeps up his behavior, not only will his questions not be answered, he’s going to go to jail for stalking.
But at least we know their tactics: go out, make a scene, get arrested, then cry about it to the press how Republicans are just so mean and nasty. “All I wanted to do was ask him a simple question….boo-hoo….” Quite a way to engage in politics, eh? But this is the Kos Krowd, and we’ve come to expect nothing less from them. If we did something like this to Webb, they’d be up in arms about it.

What happened to my comment on the story? I posted it early this morning, and now it isn’t here. Do you only allow comments from people that agree with your point of view?
That could have been me. I was guest-blogging for the weekend, and this comment moderation is new to me. I could have accidentally deleted it along with the 100s of comments about the miracles of viagra and donkey-porn. =D
I apologize, it was not intentional. If you comb through my other posts, you will see that I most certainly don’t “censor” anybody. =D
Michael P Jr not getting off on the right foot:
Do you only allow comments from people that agree with your point of view?
Michael, you will find ST and Brian very open minded, and they do very well with comments and let many ideas and thoughts come through, varied from those that agree to those that stringently disagree.
Mistakes happen and sometimes comments get ‘misplaced’, caught in the spam folder, or just outright missed in moderation.
Brian did an excellent job in keep things running smoothly here while he was subbing for ST. The comment moderation and setup is probably much different than his own blog, and I think he managed it quite well. Gleaning from things ST and Brian has mentioned, it sounds like this blog gets alot of spam on a daily basis, and it takes time to filter through them all.
Mistakes happen….BUT to automatically assume that either ST or Brian would intentionally delete a post just because it differs from their point of view is wrong on your part. It is obvious by that statement that you have not come here before and joined in the discussions and debates, otherwise you would have known that what you said was incorrect.
Please do not jump to conclusions when you first come in, it makes for a bad start.
You have noooo idea. She gets a little bit more than I do, but it’s a lot. I’d say she gets (from what I saw) at least 100 spam messages per hour, and it all goes to her moderation window. My blog handles it differently, and I think it may even delete legit comments, which is why I’m switching to WP after using this site.
If I deleted anything that was legit, it’s entirely my fault and it wasn’t on purpose. I don’t know what he wrote, but if it was something that disagreed with me, I wouldn’t have deleted it because of that. I can handle it, believe me.
You have no idea the kinds of stuff I get said about me by the lunatics at some of the lefty Iowa blogs. Some of the stuff they leave in my comments…well, it’s creative, let’s just say that. lol
They have a right to their opinion just as much as I have a right to mine. I ignore it, but I would never delete it, unless it was vulgar (which, “shockingly”, quite a few are).
Thanks for the info. Sorry you have to sort through all the spam.
Here is a link to a news story that shows and identifies 2 people that say Mike Stark pushed them.

Here is a link to a video of the situation.
LINK
At the end of the video you can see a young man fall to Mike Stark’s left. It looks like he was faking it though, because you can see Mike Stark doesn’t even move his left arm. It really looks like a poor acting job to me. Also the lady that claims that Mike Stark pushed her into a camera, can be seen behind Stark in the youtube video. It appears that he goes around her when exiting the crowd, rather than pushing her out of the way.
