Re: Writers Strike at DailyKos (2.00 / 30)

Great job, Alegre.  And I hope your sincere sentiments are received as you intended them.

Definitely seconded! (2.00 / 16)

I don't know how Alegre was able to stand it there for so long, but I'm glad she finally told those Kos Boyz ***holes just why they've ruined what was once a good blog. But whatever, I'm done with Kos. I'm glad there are places like MyDD where the community actually cares about promoting progressive values! :-)


I agree with Hillary Clinton and canadian gal (!!), so I fully support Barack Obama for President! :-)

That's what I was thinking (2.00 / 3)

What we used to know as Daily Kos vanished months ago.
I wish someone could solve the mystery as to why they killed it off.  Was there a monetary offer that couldn't be refused?   I can't imagine anything else.

Re:dKos Mystery (2.00 / 4)

My $.02? Quite a few folks totally lost their moral compass.

Re:dKos Mystery (2.00 / 1)

....lost their moral compass both on blog sites and in the media!  It's crazy.

I think this primary has gotten the best of us, whether you are an Obama supporter or a Clinton supporter.  It's gotten to the point where there is more anger directed at the Clintons than at Bush!!  What happened to us as Democrats.  We are tearing each other apart.  

When all this messiness settles, let's hope DailyKOS goes back to being what it was months ago.

Remember the"Clitnon" incident? (2.00 / 2)

One guy kept spelling Hillary's last name as "Clitnon."  He claimed it was a typo.  Except he never made this typo when writing about Bill, only Hillary.
People kept commenting, and he kept doing it.  Finally a friend of mine made a huge issue about it.   His posting privileges were revoked.

Tht is, the guy who complained (2.00 / 2)

lost his posting privileges.  The Clitnon guy was part of the dKos inner circle, and was proteced.

Re: Definitely seconded! (none / 0)

Well, that's definitely not the high road.

Re: Writers Strike at DailyKos (2.00 / 15)

Agree. Alegre has been a tireless advocate of progressive causes, and I support this strike 100%.

Re: Writers Strike at DailyKos (2.00 / 9)

I dont even click the urls if it is pointing to dkos. I feel it will be another factless, shameless hypocrite trying to point me to some junk about Messiah.

Such vile websites should not be clicked.

Re: Writers Strike at DailyKos (2.00 / 8)

Well, here I am - I'm with you guys!  Thought I had a myDD account since I've been reading this site since the days when Daily Kos was just a spinoff blog, but I guess I always just lurked.  Now officially commenting.  No more Kos for the foreseeable future.  I protested many times.. but nothing was done.  Let 'em fight amongst themselves.

I am DCDemocrat at dkos. (2.00 / 3)

Beltway Dem here.  Mike Meyer in real life.  I am sick and tired of daily kos.  After four years there, I am totally fed up.  It would be regrettable if Big Orange sunk as the result of this strike, it would be tragic, but I wouldn't shed a surfeit of tears.


Another Hillary Supporter for Obama!

Oh, please (2.00 / 0)

Do you really think that abour 30 or 40 (maybe) posters, not all of whom were even intermittent diariasts will cause the collapse of DK?

Are you really that self important?

Do you really think that a site with tens of thousands of regular posters will even statistically notice your absence?

Heck, I've seen q fair number of "strikers" over there this AM posting.

Some strike.  Already crossing the 'picket' lines......


Guess I HR'd someone that I shouldn't have (wish I knew who/how/why, but no admin will talk to me). Have a positive thought instead.

Not that I would ever watch Fox News.
