Hey, Kos!

Yes, in that exact way. F*ck off, baby!

re: #1 Occasional Reader

Uh-oh. If Kos isn't supporting him, this dramatically increases Obama's chances of winning.

Kos'll vote for Obama. Because everything John McCain ever did to enhance "bipartisanship" has earned him a backstab. It's the Democrat Way™

And Pat Paulsen is dead.

When Kos says "Jump!", Obama had better respond, "How high?"

Now I know there’s a contingent around here that things Obama can do no wrong,

Methinks he means thinks.

This is precisely the Kos I knew.

...and thanks to the brave efforts of Rosa Parks and others, Obama can be thrown under the front of the bus.

Is Kos going to sign on with Recreate 68?

the wheels on the bus go round and round, ... round and round, ... round and round ...

This is a ploy. Obama needed to distance himself from the Jew-haters and anti-American fruit cakes that post at KOS. Kos is just giving Obama that distance.

This is quite the shocker since during the primaries, Kos had his nose so far up Obama's butt that he could see the light coming on Obama's mouth. He should've also known better with Obama. What else did he expect from a Chicago Machine hack?

Now I know there’s a contingent around here that things Obama can do no wrong...

I gather proof-reading is a zionist plot.

Yup, the O-man is quivering in his boots now, you bet.

"Not that I ever bought it"

Really? So when you acted like you did, that was just an end-justifies-means sort of thing to get other people to vote Obama? Or do you just not want to look silly in retrospect?

Wow, this is amazingly stupid even for Kos. There's no way Obama could win a general election running as a pure leftist.

Denver is building a fence to keep out the protesters from marauding the Convention. This is where Markos' Army skills will come in handy.

Well despite the hearty f*ck you, I think this is a positive sign. Obama has waffled and flipped and reversed his position so frequently, and had to separate himself from some criminal and dubious supporters in order to present an acceptable image, that perhaps Markos Kos now sees him a bit more clearly.

Black Flag op.

He's helping him by pretending to disown him.

Screw you! If you move to the center. Which only helps to show that he is moving to the center.

Obama has plenty of lobbyists and wealthy leftist billionaires funding his campaign. Kos kidz money doesn't even fund the Arugula expenses.

He is the first person that I know of to admit that he didn't like Obama for any of that different-kind-of-politician-we'll-bring-everyone- together crap that no one with any sense believed (but millions of Obama supporters do or at least say they do) but rather that because he is (or was, in Kos' eyes) a far-left liberal redistributionist.

After decades of hearing complaints about Harlem, now we get complaints that it's too nice.

Here's the opinion of another Kos kiddie :

Remember the primary season? It wasn't that long ago.

You spent hours at the phonebanks. You donated until your bank account was empty. You wore the t-shirts and the buttons; you proudly planted a sign in your hard; you stuck a bumpersticker on your car. Maybe two. You played that will.i.am video over and over and over again.

You admired him for his principles. You admired him for his convictions. You thought he was brave to take a stand against the Iraq war way back in 2002, when almost all the other Democrats -- including the other Democratic candidates -- hid behind their fear of being labeled "unpatriotic."

You fought against the Clinton supporters. You answered their concerns about the strength of Obama's convictions by quoting his books and providing links to his website.

Obama wasn't like the others, you said. He is not beholden to special interests. He is not on the payroll of the lobbyists. He is not afraid to take an unpopular position. Obama is not a coward; he is a leader.

You didn't want to hear the concerns. Or you didn't think they were valid. Or you didn't think they mattered, since Obama was still the best candidate in the field and infinitely better than McCain.

Some disagreed. Some didn't think he was the best candidate in the field. But that doesn't matter now. Short of replacing Obama with another nominee at the August convention, he's our choice. He's your choice.

And most of us, even the ones who weren't in love with him, fell in line once he secured the nomination.

I know I did.

And now there is disappointment? Now there is frustration? Because he is moving to the center, because he is making politically expedient decisions?

Of course he is. He's a politician running for president. The next six months are going to be about framing and positioning and yes, pandering. The next six months are not going to be about ideals or convictions or brave stances. The next six months are going to be devoted to winning the White House.

Complain if you want. Complain if it makes you feel better. Complain if you think it makes a difference.

But really, does it? Do you really think you are the ones he's trying to persuade in the general election? Do you think Obama is going to move further to the left now, after he has already won your endorsement? I don't.

Now I know there’s a contingent around here that things Obama can do no wrong, and he must never be criticized, and if you do, well f*ck you!

Yeah, but, how does this help mah kids?

/drive-by WAB

The Democrats don't have a bus. That would imply they are going somewhere. No, all they have is a Marxist donkey cart.

Kos says he'll still vote for Obama and he doesn't advise anyone to vote for McCain or Nader. So what's the big deal? Kos is just stamping his feet and looking for some attention, he's not throwing Obama under the bus.

re: #91 WrathofG-d

Only theoretically is it as bad. In the real world racism against whites does not exist.

re: #91 WrathofG-d

Wrath, the the left, racism isn't about color, it's about power.

BHO wants to win so bad that by Oct. he'll be to the right of Margaret Thatcher (in speech not in belief).

Part of that strategy is to get caustic leftist like the kos to disassociate themselves from the messiah. That way independents can say, maybe Obama isn's so radical after all, the kos-kids don't support him.

re: #141 jcm

Redhook?

I was just thinking of that.

(Maybe I should get to a meeting?)

Wikipedia (I know, I should avoid that site...) quotes from Dreams From My Father:

Obama noted in the book that it was Ann rather than his natural father who taught him about his African American heritage.

"She would come home with books on the civil rights movement, the recordings of Mahalia Jackson, the speeches of Dr. King. When she told me stories of schoolchildren in the South who were forced to read books handed down from wealthier white schools but who went on to become doctors and lawyers and scientists, I felt chastened by my reluctance to wake up and study in the mornings… Every black man was Thurgood Marshall or Sidney Poitier; every black woman Fannie Lou Hamer or Lena Horne. To be black was to be the beneficiary of a great inheritance, a special destiny, glorious burdens that only we were strong enough to bear."[25]
...

This underlines another problem with Obama. He's a totally fake "African American"! He's only African American for political reasons. He was raised mostly by his white (communist) mother and grandparents. His father was not a descendant of slaves in America, but an elite government bureaucrat from Africa. Obama is playing a role, exploiting that 'great inheritance, special destiny, glorious burdens that only we were strong enough to bear'.

You are right. They are treating him as if he is somehow dishonest and can't be trusted. Maybe we should start calling him KKKos.

Wow..Kos used Bona Fides in a sentence. I guess I'm supposed to be impressed. I also suppose that Obama is quaking in his boots.

Stinky must be providing the gas.

Not that I ever bought it, but Obama is now clearly not looking much different than every other Democratic politician who has ever turned his or her back on the base in order to prove centrist bona fides. That’s not an indictment, just an observation.

I think Mike Dukakis stayed true to his leftist roots.

re: #181 Ben Hur

Hey that's good!

The quick-change artist Mr. Flip-Flop is going to have a lot more flip-flops before the campaign is over. He will say and do anything to get the power of being President and Commander in Chief. He started out in left field. He was a Marxist in college and he was a supporter for 20 years of the anti-American and anti-white racist Jeremiah Wright. He'll end up sounding like he is in the center. And because talk is cheap and Obama will say and do anything to get elected, he might even end up -- verbally, not with any deeds, of course -- even to the right of McCain. But it's all a fraud. Obama is a left-wing extremist, and this quick-change flip-flopping is just a show for the gullible folks who are easily suckered by him.

Obama knows that the radical left, Markos included, have nowhere to go. They have nobody to vote for but Obama, so BHO doesn't have to pay any attention at all to the left. No matter what Kos says or threatens. What's Kos gonna do, vote for McCain? The radical left is completely in the hands of Obama, they have nowhere to go.

Now we'll see where the quick-change artist will go next -- verbally only, of course. Obama may be the world's greatest liar and faker. He says it all without laughing, and with pretend indignation also that anybody should think that he didn't have these positions all along.

The man who knows Obama best outed Obama for anybody who is not blinded or terminally gullible: Obama is a politician, and he says and does what politicians do, in order to get elected.

But none of that matters, because a Army guy who commanded an air war for a month said so.

There is a reason Kos has not donated to obama yet.
Most over there follow his lead and if the donations for June/July take a nosedive, kos will claim it is because of him.

Guess what, doofus? He'll most likely govern that way, too. No doubt he'll try to be a socialist as he can, but there is a Congress, Judiciary, and an electorate that he will answer to. Not to mention re-election efforts to start on January 21st.
