Where are all the Kos Democrats now?
Every major Democrat presidential candidate has attended the Yearly Kos convention. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid keynoted the nutroots’ annual gathering two years ago. Dick Durbin appeared via satellite with the official Senate seal in the background. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sat down with the Kossacks and their ilk for a chat at Netroots Nation this year. Hillary pandered to the Kos crowd last summer. So did Barack Obama.
Ever since John McCain announced his VP pick, the Daily Kos — the self-declared “New Center” of American politics — has been an out-of-control incubator of deranged conspiracy theories and attacks on GOP Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s family. Will a single Kos Democrat stand up publicly and specifically denounce the madness on the left side of the Internet? Or do they agree with the Kos smear merchants that monitoring Palin family pregnancies and jeering about 17-year-old Bristol’s situtation — as Kos himself does here in this post now featured on the front page of the site — is “fair game?
***
Via Allah, here’s Obama’s statement, which acknowledges his own teen mother:
Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama Monday afternoon issued a strong statement to “back off” reports of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy, telling reporters families — and especially children — are off limits in this presidential campaign.
Mr. Obama, campaigning here, also noted that his own mother was 18 when she gave birth to him.
“People’s families are off limits,” he said. “People’s children are especially off limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. ”
“I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories,” he added. “That shouldn’t be a topic in our politics.”
He vehemently pushed back against an unnamed McCain aide suggesting his campaign had any ties to the blogs that were spreading rumors before the news broke, saying he was “offended” by that and if any of his staff was involved in spreading the issue, “they’d be fired.”
The Kossacks aren’t listening:
First of all, who says that Bristol Palin really is pregnant right now? She could suddenly have a miscarriage down the road and poof baby gone.
Secondly, Bristol could have had a baby back in April, and be pregnant again.

Daily Kos goes under the bus in 3..2..1…
Barry need to go on Kos himself with a post and tell them to knock it off. A press release isnt enough.
It goes to his judgement
This is not the Daily Kos I know…..
Good on Barack for the statement – Question is, where are the conservatives applauding him for asking people to back off attacking families?
Will we see any on here that can ignore the temptation for a side swipe at Michelle Obama?
These people are what constitutes the general population of the United States of America today.
They lack morals and try to smear those who hold to their own families. Christians will always be persecuted.
McCain condemned a guy for saying Hussein. Obama lets this garbage slide.
He is culpable for what his buddies on Kos say.
I expect an apology from Obama.
of course he has no connection to the Kosacks. he only attended a Kos convention.
These Kossites are scum, vile, and criminally insane troglodytes.
I read that a major Hillary Clinton campaigner is voting for McCain in November. His reason? Because the Democratic Party is now being influenced and controlled by the moveon.org leftist wackos. He is now campaigning for McCain.
I say, Kos, keep it going and flame out.
I’ve already done so on a different thread.
Is she part of Obama’s campaign? Is she out there making speeches for him and the DNC? If she is, she’s fair game. Yes, Cindy McCain is fair game as well if she’s doing the same.
No candidate has their kids campaigning for them so they are off limits.
I say the scientific study is the way to go with the Kossacks, my recommendations first PDS post by Michelle. When God gives you lemmings, make lemmings aid you:)
I am glad Senator Obama FINALLY spoke up. Unfortunately, he didn’t condemn the kos kiddies on their rumor mill …
And from CNN “reporter” Solidad (sp) … Of course, this type of stuff should be off limits for political opponents but should it be off limits to voters (ie dailykos)?
No, this is a way of life for them. Normal in their eyes.
Yeah, took him an entire day to do so.
And I’m doing so here. Obama rarely says anything I agree with, but on this he’s right. I appreciate him calling for people to take the high road and leave irrelevant family issues out of the election process.
BTW for the lefties you better be more worried about Biden’s ties to lobbists. And his son’s brewing scandle with the credit card companies
I am getting rather tired of the One, the Anointed, He Is Who He Is throwing people under the bus. It is causing traffic jams all over America and The People’s Soviet of Kalifornia. That man is just flat rude and selfish. I know not of the other states but littering is illegal in Arizona.

Hey Obama-What to see Bitter?
Look at your wife.
WE SHOULD BE CIVIL-WE CONSERVATIVES?
Not a chance.
If Bristol Palin was a pregnant ‘man’ or demanding to vacuum her womb, the loon toon nutroots would be cheering. Of course.
I will cheer Senator Obama, though.
Amen.
But the soul-less loon toon nutroots would have to have a conscience to heed those words.
Chief RZ, you must live on one of the left coasts. Here in middle America, it does NOT constitute, epitomize or is an example of the general population! Au contrare!
Folks,
What you are seeing at KOS is what the vast left-wing conspiracy looks like. There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth because they know they are going to lose big time in November.
America is starting to wake up to the fact that the Democrat[ic Socialist] Party has been taken over by the Communist Party. Most Americans aren’t Communists, and when they learn the truth, it will be very hard for Democrats to win an election in anything other than the most liberal districts.
Don’t believe it?
Examine the evidence about the “Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy“.
Who cares?
This problem belongs to The One. Let him wallow in the KOS filth. I’m done changing diapers.
William Amos, you must be assuming the drive-by media will actually report on it…NOT!

I honestly don’t think they would. I think that fact the she is the daughter of a Conservative Republican is enough to castigate her, no matter that it would be the height of hipocrisy.
Yeah, he may have made the statement condemning the personal attacks against her family, but I’m sure he was smiling and winking when he did it.
Here’s hoping it’s only a few hundred of these people who actually believe this stuff.
The tortuous logic required to concoct this nonsense is only overshadowed by the apparent deep cynicism these people have for others who stick by their morals, even when said others have made a moral mistake (a sin, that is.)
It seems to be beyond their comprehension that people can be genuine and authentic while falling short of moral perfection. They can’t believe that these folks are capable of forgiving in the face of willful sin, of embracing life when confronted with a life changing event, and of not being part of some political machinations. Those of us who understand this are branded simple, naive, or plainly stupid.
What wretched lives they must lead. How else can we explain their projections of their own thoughts and behaviors on the rest of us? How unhappy and self-loathing can you be?
Does a pregnancy and a baby change your life? Yes, of course, though one could say that the decision to take a chance on conceiving was the real turning point.
Most of us know someone who is trying to have a child, who would welcome one into their lives. If they are worried about having their lives “ruined” (how is it possible to think so?) by a child, they always have the option of gracing another willing family with their “mistake”.
And many of us, as I have read on other threads here, have had children at a very young age. Did it make life tough? Maybe. What does “tough” and “difficult” mean in this context anyway? That my plans were forced to change? A new baby makes life…different. It introduces new challenges and expectations. It changes plans. It, if done well, forces maturity and responsibility. A child is a blessing disguised in a variety of ways.
If I could relive my teens, would I do it all again? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on whether I had my current wisdom with me in that teen’s body. The irony is that wisdom comes from our so-called “mistakes”.
I do know that I could never make the decision to abort a pregnancy. Life is a wonderful gift. I could never deny it to the ultimate in innocence: the unborn babe.
Regarding my own brand of cynicism: I think this nonsense on Kos is all about generating traffic beyond their typical groupthinking coterie. My guess is that new ad rates are about to come out later this month (to cover the high cost of fuel, etc.)
These people (Daily Kos and the Minions of Stupidity) are more hypocritical than realist.
Please change all references:

I understand that there may be some people stating that these words are not proper English, but these Diarheaist are not proper people.
Nobody on the right ever took any “shots” at Obama’s kids except to say that he shouldn’t have done the interview with them. Those statements were made because of concern for the kids and the crazies out there. Families are off limits when there are little kids. If they are campaigning and making absurd statments, Michellemybelle, they are fair game for their comments. This rumor crap only shows how low the lefties will go–lower than a cockroach belly!
While I applaud Obama for making the statement, the cynic in me can’t help but note that he probably realized the potentially catastrophic effects of his supporters being perceived as bullying and harassing a pregnant teenager. I mean, you think people got worked up over Alex Jones following Michelle around at the Denver Mint?
It’s been said here already, I’ll repeat for you lefties…if a family member starts talking politics they become fair game, plain and simple.
I haven’t read or heard any political quotes from Bristol Palin.
Maybe Obama can hire his buddy Ayers to take care of those pesky Kos people.
Michelle, I hope you are keeping an eye on Huffington Post’s behavior, as well.
All the Democratic leadership makes posts there–all of them.
Dem leaders should be held accountable for the site, since they use it as an outlet for their position pieces.
Obama said awhile back that if saw anyone attacking Cindy McCain, he would call for them to stop it, but Dem outlet HuffPo does this all the time.
Here are some ugly older attacks they’ve made on candidates’ families:

The company you keep Barack… there they are, good luck with that.
Obama statement calling for stop to family comments … Good …
Taking 3 days to make the statement … Bad …
Expecting the KOS loons to stop … No Way …

McCain/Palin 08′
A glorified flea circus.
… without a dog …
(had to finish that for you)
The very first thing I thought of when I saw this news announcement was the show Gilmore Girls, which I enjoyed in spite of the constant barrage of Liberal agendas, such as having a character say “Move on! Dot org.” Sometimes it was just a few lines, sometimes it was more blatant, such as an episode that revolved around a mayoral election and ‘swiftboating.’
For anyone unfamiliar with the show, it was about a 16-year old girl who got pregnant and decided to raise her child alone.
Ironically, in the series finale, that child graduated from college and went on to a job covering Barak Obama’s run for the presidency.
The right to choose includes the right to have the baby and raise it without a lot of hypocrites making this into some kind of a crime. If (some) Democrats can’t wrap their minds around that, or if they decide to ignore that angle completely because it’s an inconvenient truth in this particular election since it means they can’t use someone’s choice as a weapon … they do so at their own peril.
I would not be asking them to apologize or shut up. Let them hoist themselves by their own petard.
I must also pitch in with the others in saying that Senator Obama’s words were gracious, but the timeliness could have been improved.
#40 I’m not buying it these crapweasel Dems support the D Kos and the garbage they put out…..
I don’t think BO has to speak for fools at KOS, whether he attends their conventions or not. To respond prematurely to an obviously stupid post by some random idiot would be to give this crap far more creedence than it deserves. He was forced to respond when the MSM started repeating it, because, inevitably, people would start equating this garbage with his campaign. I think his timing was fine.
Comparing this to a campaigning Michelle Obama is disingenuous and undermines real discussion on the privacy of the candidates’ families.
Well, I’m glad that Obama said what he said. I don’t believe it’s sufficient in terms of action, but it is a good beginning.
As for the KOS people and their ilk, they are the tail that wags the democrat party dog, so it is vital that they be monitored, but seeing that there is no hope whatever that they will respond to reason on any issue, there is no point in engaging them. When politics is everything, it’s a person’s statement that their life has nothing. We just need to ensure they remain impotent over our lives.
I do agree with Flyover State (#39): let these people keep up with the inanity. It undermines everything else they say and do.
The KOS web site is completely open. The downside of that is that sometimes things get posted that shouldn’t.
The fact that Obama spoke at the Kos convention does not make him responsible for every one of the tens of thousands of posts on the Kos site.
Obama took the high road: he explicitly told his supporters not to attack Sarah Palin’s daughter. Of course, the candidate doesn’t control all his or her supporters. Hillary can’t get all her supporters to vote for Obama.
True and I’ll bet in the privacy of the voting booth Hilary doesn’t vote for Obama either.
Odopey hasn’t taken the high road in his life. The dude hangs with low life vermin.
Actually, I’d guess that he wanted to stay away from making a public statement as that would surely have given the story greater legs and, to some observers, make it appear as though he was trying to give it prominence. I know it’s not in most posters’ first instinct to give Obama any slack, but consider him making a public statement about an internet rumor: all the sudden it’s “real” news and the audience expands dramatically. Given his own story and sensibilities, I’m guessing he wanted to avoid that.
Once the story hit the MSM, he reacted swiftly and appropriately. Sure, he may be a communist
but he is — like McCain — a fundamentally decent guy.
Oh please.
Does Obama really expect us to believe that 1) flocks of the Daily Kos kids are not working for his campaign and 2) senior members of his staff don’t know they are working for them? I lost count of how many times Little Green Footballs found radical netroots on Obama’s web site.
The loony Left is right at home there … wait just one minute … “”People’s families are off limits,” he said.”
Mystery solved.
?
I buy tick and flea powder by the bag. We need to get together zorro, I have a plan if you are right.

I guess you just returned from a holiday weekend away …
The Daughter / Fake Pregnancy BS started early on Saturday morning … so it took nearly 3 days for BO to make a statement … I don’t consider that “swiftly and appropriately” responding …
I already gave him props for saying it should stop … but it won’t because he can’t control the loons on the far left like Kos, Huffington, and DU …
The story hit yesterday in the MSM. Took him an entire DAY to get to it.
In today’s 24/7 media world, a day is like a week.
Plain and simple, he waited for this to churn a little longer, and sat on his hands.
Sorry, too little too late.

dl, check your e mail… please.
Credit where credit is due. Obama makes a worthy statement.
Let’s see if he can hold that line of respect through November.
I know it was all over the blogs, but the first MSM story came out early yesterday that I caught on the Times Online UK edition. They reference bloggers with regards to the rumor that Trig was not Sarah Palin’s son, but her grandson.
The kooky irreligious minions of the Left have once again demonstrated their gross ignorance of the core values of Christianity –
Life throws us plenty of curves, but we bear witness to our relationship with Christ by facing those problems with an abundance of grace, hope, and love.
The only thing this episode proves about the Palin family is that they are 100% normal and the Kostards and Moron.org loonies just can’t deal with that.
Depends on how much obama really means it. By not going directly to the source it gives good reason to question his sincerity, AND his judgment.
We know he agrees with chaos (k os) to some degree, he panders to them.
So to what degree is obama in bed with the chaos kids?
Not sure why all the anxiety. The Repubs are running on their typical platform of Pseudo-conservatism and the Dems are running on their Marxist/Socialist platform. Kos and the kids are symptomatic of the Dems base, whether they(Dems)like it or not.The only thing that is really in question is whether or not a majority of Americans are ready to give up their Republic in favor of the Marxist/Socialist system. If one could ever believe the MSM, they would eagerly accept that better than 50% are actually ready to accept all the Dems are offering. I guess we will see in November.
If there is ever any hope of restoring the Republican Party’s leadership to it’s core conservative values, we are going to need the likes of Fred Thompson and others to get it done. Fred may actually be more valuable to that effort working behind the scenes than from an elected office capacity.
Like the GWOT, this effort is going to be a long undertaking and many are going to be hurt along the way. The Kos Kids and Move-On types are formidable, but can easily be steam-rolled by an energized and determined conservative base and sent back to the colleges and universities from which they were spawned. But who can honestly say that it is not an effort worth the sacrifice?
lgm, I know Kos is pretty wide open, but if i remember correctly, Kos forbids 9/11 truther stuff.
If that’s true, then he does have some standards, and some control. Very limited standards, though, apparently.
I don’t enjoy what is happening to Sarah Palin or her family. Sausage, once again, tried to equate Michelle Obama with a child of the Republican candidate for Vice President. It doesn’t matter how many times anyone says it, they are not the same.
The one bright side to this, IMHO is that Kos has created a monster now and they are getting out of his control. He starts or enables these vicious rumors and then tries to reign them all in when the posters go off the deep end. Now they don’t care what he says and I think it’s great.
The Daily Kos is a Karl Rove/Dick Cheney false flag operation. The 911Truthers are going to figure that out too! That stupid Bush fella is heckasmart.
Last year a psychology professor I had presented a certain moral situation to the class, and then asked the class 5 questions to determine what level of reaction they had, which paralleled Kohlberg’s stages of moral development. Granted I am an adult student, and 90% of the class were recent high school graduates, but still, I and the professor were the only ones who came out in the highest level of moral development, and the bulk of the class came in way further down than anticipated – a significant number still on level 1. It spoke volumes of what the future of America will hold. Strangely enough, a survey later in the semester on political alignment showed almost all of these level 1′s were strongly liberal democrats. What a coincidence.
You rang?
It was a gentlemanly thing to do. Good for him.
I knew it!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me preface this by saying that since the first election I was eligible to vote in(Regan, 1980) and with the exception of one ballot I attribute to mental illness (I voted for Clinton in 1992),I have been a staunch Republican who has turned into a staunch conservative over the intervening years.
I appreciate the fact, no matter the reason, that Senator Obama called out the leftist kooks. Even if it is a case of a broken clock being right twice a day, I don’t care. It needed to be said.
As for those who say that O is tied to the Kos-kooks because he attended their convention … I eat at Burger King, but I am hardly their spokesman. John McCain spoke at the NAACP convention, but I hardly think he can be tied to what that membership says and believes.
I have been reading this DKos B.S. for three days. There are thousands of comments per post on this subject. Eighty-five percent Kooks and 15 percent trying to get them to stick to the issues. Those 15 percent are called trolls, republican plants and worse. It’s about time the putative leader of their party called them out … but no matter how long it took, at least he did it.
Now lets get behind McCain and Palin and make sure they end up in the White House in January. Any other result is truly frightening.
Quick! Name one good thing about Daily Kos. tic tic tic….
:::Crickets:::
With supporters like the loony lefties, Obama needs no opponents.
There. Fixed it for you, to bring it more in line with his past history.
If Obama said that and sticks to it, then that is admirable on his part…but if he fails to seriously denounce it from others, then we will know that it is a sham…time will tell
Hey – don’t give up on us all! I graduated in 2007, suffering 4 years in classrooms full of young leftwing nutbags. I’m lucky I left with my brain in tact, but many impressionable students were not so fortunate. The university system is a waste of time.
And money, a_jad. But don’t worry, BO will make it affordable by subsidizing it. Everyone knows that subsidies work economic miracles. We learned that in college.
I am tired of Obama telling us what to do and not to do. He abandoned us on FISA, the War and campaign finance reform. Screw him.
Mr. Obama, campaigning here, also noted that his own mother was 18 when she gave birth to him.
And un-wed, no?
Oh and did I mention he picked another old washington guy for his running mate?
bo it seems took his sweet time to rebuke the rumor starters. Yeah it was good of him to do this but he waited till it all got out hoping to himself there was enough time to do damage and make himself look good at the same time. he didn’t waste any time telling everyone to lay off his woman did he? Besides it wasn’t even his own statement because there weren’t any uhs and ers that he seems to say a lot when he is forced to speak on his own.
obama sometimes gets me so worked up I need a couple hits off my breathalizer, I mean my inhailater, I mean……….well you know what I mean, I havn’t had much sleep in the last 48 hours
Flashback: 2004 U.S. Senatorial race:
Barack Obama’s campaign e-mailed reporters, urging that Republican Senatorial candidate Jack Ryan’s sealed divorce records should be opened and made public. At the same time that Obama’s political apparatus was pushing the Ryan story behind-the-scenes, Obama was publicly stating that Ryan’s divorce should be off-limits. Of course we all know what happened: the files were unsealed and the contents divulged. Ryan was forced to pull out of the race, and Obama skated to victory. More here.
Obama’s lip service about families being “hands-off” is nice, but watch this guy like a hawk. Don’t believe me? Ask Jeri Ryan.
I learned a long time ago that there are always two sides to every story. Fortunately, I was also blessed with the ability to know the difference between right and wrong. It just so happens that usually it’s as simple as one side being RIGHT and the other side WRONG. Let’s just say I can see the wrong side quite clearly.
McCain/Palin ’08
So we should applaud a guy who does what a gentleman should do – before the situation demands he reacts.
I don’t think so.
Had he reacted immediately I would give him credit. Days later .. not so much. Does little to represent “change” in my book.
) It increases global warming
) Its carbon footprint is gi-nanimous
) It makes the birds and the flowers come alive with the sound of music
Just shows that Hillary voters are smarter than Obama voters.
When things don’t go your way, beat up a young girl. I can guarentee they wouldn’t have the guts to make those comments in front of her dad.
So what is causing panic in commie town?
1. BHO received wimpy bump from the convention
2. BHO blew it on his VP pick
3. McCain is in overdrive on fund raising
4. Palin was a home run
5. Dems are split, Reps are unified
6. Reps showed a lot of class this week
7. Dems showed their true colors
Bad week to be a democrat
I would like to know why we haven’t heard a single comment from any of Hollywood’s usual suspects since McCain made his VP choice.
Where are all the actors and actresses with their “we know better than you” musings???
You are so right. I was just about to commend Obama for speaking out against family bashing, when I came across your post.
He is nothing new….just an old time politician who will use the closest mud puddle to smear his opponent.
Sounds like the Green-Eyed Monster has not only raised its head but has broken free of its leash, and is running amuck in the fantasy land of the asylum of the tilted, who are terrified by the idea of not getting what they want.
i.e.: Jealous, envious tantrums!
They’re somebody’s neighbors. Could be yours.
Except Obama sees nothing wrong with letting a newborn baby die of exposure.
Yeah.
A decent guy.
I know this is above my pay-grade, but something has been gnawing at me all day concerning this story. You see, there seems to be one critical element that has been omitted from the back and forth arguments concerning Bristol Palin’s pregnancy. That would be the right to privacy. Why would that ‘right’ not include Ms. Bristol Palin? Should she not have the right to maintain her privacy as she struggles with her personal choices for her baby, her family and herself? This was deemed a fundamental right in Roe v. Wade. Since that ruling, a woman’s right to privacy has been such an integral component of the left’s mentality, and to the Democratic Party, that it has been their defining principle and party mantra for over 30 years. They will allow no discussion or opposing view into their midst. Does this right only extend to liberal women? Are the Dems not the party of inclusion? Does the ‘right to privacy’, nee the ‘right to choose’, only include termination of the pregnancy? Can it not include the ‘right to life’? Can the baby not be carried to term as a ‘choice’? Or have we again been exposed to the surreptitious and hypocritical nature of the Democrats’ party platform? What is the real agenda at play here? There is no grey area here. Either a woman has the right to choose, with a constitutional right to privacy in doing so, or she doesn’t. If they are lying about Roe v. Wade, what the hell else are they ‘blowing smoke’ about? Just wonderin’
travlinman:
You got that right. It’s not about “choice” or “privacy”; it’s about control.
Have you ever notice that Obummer always waits a day before responding. As Carlos Mencia says ” Dee Da Dee”
I’m new to MM’s site and hadn’t heard about this until now. Did anything ever come of it or was it ignored by the MSM? I tried to find this in the archives, but didn’t notice anything. Was this covered as a main story here?
It sounds like the Kossacks who are making those idiotic statements are themselves 17 and not pregnant thanks to Planned Parenthood. Let them keep spewing their filth and keep posting it here, Michelle. I know that more people read MM than they do the Daily Kossack.
That statement was meant to give the impression that he “takes the high road”… which he does not…
Along the lines of what commentor Will Amos wrote…If his campaign really wanted to put a stop to this, Obama’s operatives would be in touch with KoS telling him to stop. Which clearly has not happened.
I would say that is not enough. They are the same thugs that he pandered to at the Kos convention. So, it’s not as if this is the first time Obama’s ever heard of Kos.
In addition to telling them off with a “farewell diary” – which only political web-peeps would ever see – Obama needs to very specifically, with no ambiguity, denounce the Kos site’s hate and slimy attacks in a public statement.
Only that would display he is actually acting in good faith based on priciple.
Otherwise his close association with Kos should remain his albatross, something to be brought up vigorously and often.
