Daily Kos Calls for Dirty Tricks
Only in the paranoid fever swamps of Daily Kos could they interpret Matthew Klam’s New York Times left-wing lovefest as an attack.
Zuniga sycophant “Geheimbundler” makes the case for this delusion, with an egregious overuse of adjectives: NY Times hatchet job against left-wing bloggers.
So after surveying the fevered, rotten, cruel, superior, babbling, irate, vitriolic, and oversimplifying left-wing blogs, what does Klam have to say about their counterparts on the right? We’re told approvingly that they are the province of “credentialed gentlemen like [Mickey] Kaus, Andrew Sullivan and Glenn Reynolds”. Kaus writes “in a strong, distinctive, original voice”. And, well, that’s about it.
New York Times readers, it appears, don’t need to know about Jerome Corsi, co-author of the anti-Kerry screed “Unfit For Command”, and his rants on freerepublic.com against gays, Muslims, and Catholics. They don’t need to know about the racial slurs, death threats and rape fantasies directed against liberals, Democrats, Muslims, foreigners, and journalists on littlegreenfootballs.com.
These are two of the most popular, most widely read right-wing weblogs in the country. But never mind — Matthew Klam wants to tell you about the raw tuna appetizer at Grover Norquist’s fabulous party, and the way the candlelight catches the bubbles in Wonkette’s champagne glass.
Racial slurs, death threats and rape fantasies, oh my!
And even while they say despicable! mean! things about LGF, they call for the Kos Kidz to volunteer for the Bush campaign in order to pull off dirty tricks: Poll Added - I’m Volunteering For Bush For Last 72 Hours - You Should Too. (Hat tip: H.D. Miller.)

We should get as many of us as possible to sign up to help in the last 72 hours. May or may not make a difference, but could really screw up their organizing for GOTV if enough of us do the same thing.
