De-link from DailyKos and set yourself FREE...

No More Ms. Nice Gal....

This is a public service announcement:

De-link from DailyKos and set yourself FREE...

King of Penistan has no clothes. His valiant pawns of Penistan who happily carry his water are merely a well paid roving band of DLC toadies and political operatives.

They should be proud of a job well done. They set out to destroy any likeness in the blogosphere of the free wheeling, issue ridden, empowering blogosphere of the Dean era.

Now today, they have achieved the ultimate for which they will be well paid in shiny new blogs and new jobs in the promise land of Foggy bottom. They were able to silence the rebellion of the biggest Democratic capitulation since... well Democrats existed.

They pummelled and belittled and cajoled the blogosphere into believing that the Democratic Leadership actually gave a shit about the base. We were told that if we were "True Believers" (and paid our dues of course) we would be better off electing just any old Democrat... that is not true.

So now they are SHOCKED...SHOCKED I tell you , that the Democratic Leadership rolled over and lifted their shiny assholes to Roberts... ohhhh the outrage....

King Peni himself was so insensed at the Democratic betrayal that he took the opportunity to display to his vast Kingdom of Penistan just what happens to a denizen of Penistan when they cross the line .... and proceded with yet another public flogging of NARAL (passively of course) by ragging on Chaffee. (Kinda just makes you want to run out and give generously to the first wingnut Republican you find.)

So any self respecting Democrat (male or female) who believes that Democrats should stand up for civil rights should consider heeding the call to de-link from Penistan. In fact do not even link to comments in Penistan... why put money in his private company knowing that he will just dick you over.

ESCAPE FROM PENISTAN

But his point regarding Chaffee actually has some content to it.

The Progressive Punch rates officials by category... and if Kos had bothered to look up for the ratings for abortion he would have seen that Chaffee was the higest ranked Republican...and had a better ratings than 10 of the 44 seated Democratic Senators... but why let facts distort the issue

It looks like those ratings are based on votes for bills, and it doesn't look like they're weighted by some importance function. It's been pretty obvious for a while that one of the pillars of Kos' argument has been that votes for bills are largely unimportant in themselves, but that given the US political system, more "procedural" issues are what really defend rights, and Chaffee's influence from a procedural POV is inherently poor due to party politics. ie, bad things come to the floor that Chaffee can then pointlessly vote No on, as opposed to nothing coming onto the floor at all.

I've been delinked for months. In fact, I'm so militant about the delinking, I even got rid of females that keep diaries there. Don't need no traitors in my blogroll.

I signed up for a diary a few months ago but never posted. Does this mean I'm not your friend? :(

but leaving my 2 diaries. I unsubscribed from SF Kossacks and am no longer commenting on any related sites.

"Church Condones Child Abuse" my story from back in April. A slap at organized religion and patriarchal systems...I think it should hang around and make the whackos over there uncomfortable.

"Take Back Red California" a grass roots group walking the turf in red counties...on progressive issues into the mouth of the lion. That diary is now the number 1 link to our campaign currently.

Let the site do our work for progressive and women's issues. Let them deal with it there....

I've been saying all along, he only got where he is because we all used to link to him and there are tons of women out here. If we all stop linking, his stock will fall.

I honestly believe that giving him links actively hurts the feminist blogosphere. It kills me when I see someone give him more than one link in a post, especially. He's not going to do a damned thing for us - why pay him for it? In the blogosphere, your links are currency - only give them to people you support and who support you.
