Is the Daily Kos a new progressive Ku Klux Klan?
The Daily Kos has seemingly developed what I call The Ku Kos Klan Doctrine in its effort to become the voice of the democrat party:
Define the term” Progressive Democrat” as inclusive. State its purpose as the pursuit of justice, freedom and equality, yet violently exclude anybody who disagrees with you.
Employ a cadre of close minded, rage filled brown shirts to keep the pure progressive race pure.
Censor opposition and describe one’s opponents as stupid, evil and incompetent. Call your opponents names.
Employ progressive propaganda in the attempt to change the perception of reality to a construct more agreeable to Kos ideology. Unfortunately, nearly everybody uses propaganda these days.
Blame everybody but yourself for your failures.
The Daily Kos is a very successful website with over 600 million visits running at about 700 thousand visits a day. The men and women at Kos have been very successful in shaping and influencing the trajectory of the Democrats trajectory these past several election cycles. Yet, I can’t wonder if the Ku Kos Klan will sooner or later have its version of the Nazi Crystal Night in which loyal brown shirt troops have their throats slit by “Der Fuhrer, “Kos.
Jimmy Carter courted the Klan vote in one of his campaigns for governor of Georgia, then slit their throats during his inauguration speech. Stalin slew innumerable loyal communists in his paranoia when getting the ring of power. Bill Clinton abandoned his loyal ideologues for Dick Morris to get reelected in 1996. It could happen at the Ku Kos Klan.
