To ostracize Kos for a single comment that he made in a comments thread for which he has later issued clarifications and explanations is a shortsighted and negative overreaction to right-wing zealotry.

It is as if every time I mention Daily Kos on here, they manage to outdo themselves.

 Daily Kos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A year and a half later, when Daily Kos criticized Armstrong Williams for accepting money to promote George W. Bush's education agenda (including the No Child Left Behind Act), The Wall Street Journal reported on the payment to Moulitsas as well as a similar payment to Jerome Armstrong.

 The House Of Wheels: Daily Kos vs The New Republic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Needless to say, when a blog anywhere on the political spectrum attacks an ideological ally in the mainstream media because of their stances, there can only be two outcomes: an increase in stupidity, or an increase in hilarity.
Kos answers his own question: “for the sake of its Lieberman-worshipping neo-con owners; that it stands with the National Review and wingnutosphere in their opposition to grassroots Democrats.” Don’t look at Kos’s grammar.
However, because one small, small story turned out to make Kos look slightly bad in the eyes of himself and himself only, TNR is considered to be a right-wing rag of little value.

 [No title]
Daily Kos is a political weblog founded by Markos Alberto Moulitsas Zúniga, nicknamed "Kos" (pronounced "kose"), who launched the website on May 26, 2002.
The Daily Kos front page, which is the first thing a reader sees when visiting the website, contains entries written either by Zuniga ("Kos") or by any of about a half-dozen people to whom Kos has given front-page posting privileges.
The Daily Kos's claims of receptivity to political centrism have frequently been betrayed by the causes the weblog embraces and the language in which it couches its commitments.

And, this is threatening an implosion at the House of Kos.
If Brooks, Heilemann, and Gingrich are correct, it is quite possible that the leaders of the Democrats are watching the goings on at Daily Kos the past four weeks secretly enjoying the carnage while hoping that the wheels totally fall off the psychedelic VW bus.

 VLMIL Candidate #17: The Daily Kos » VivirLatino   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Why he's loved: Kos is loved for being an intelligent liberal voice on the web, and for not being afraid to post his thoughts however controversial they may be (his comments have lost him such high profile advertisers as John Kerry), for advancing the progressive movement using technology.
Why he's influential: Kos' influence lies in that he has proven that blogging is powerful in making his political blog into a platform for activism and social change, reaching millions with a message that would not have been possible without the power of the internet.
VivirLatino is a daily publication developed by Blogs Media, featuring all the latest in Latino style, products, entertainment, culture, and politics created for the diverse and influential Latino and Latina community in the U.S. About

A Kos user posted a diary linked to Workbench's first entry on Jerome Armstrong's SEC problems at 1:03 p.m.
But, especially given that Jerome cannot the personal smears that are posted at Kos, and the fact that these kinds of smears function primarily as trollbait at Kos, I don't blame the moderators for "troll rating" the diary, and getting rid of it.

 Power Line: The Daily Kos Strikes Out

 The Daily Kos and Israel » Outside The Beltway | OTB
UPDATE (James Joyner): Judith Weiss observes that “What’s funny about the Daily Kos diaries is that these guys constantly castigate Charles Johnson for LGF comments, saying he is responsible for them and should be policing his threads, even if he didn’t write them.
Kos says he won’t because he grew up in a war zone and knows that “when two sides are dead set on killing each other, very little can get in the way” - and bloviating pundits aren’t one of those things.
It is even worse than this KOS actually wrote a post that advocated terrorist attacks here in the U.S. because we supply arms to Israel.

 Kos Party
Problematically, though, the Daily Kos also has many of the negative characteristics of a Ward committee: The excessive passion, the intemperate remarks, and the strange world views of people who obsess about politics.
As Moulitsas has crowed many times on his website, the Daily Kos has real power, power that is evidenced by the fact that a national figure such as Boxer will stop by repeatedly to pay her respects.
Last week Kos "diarist" (the Kos Community has numerous diaries which function as blogs within the blog) "Regeneration Man" offered a lengthy post which purported to prove that Jeff Gannon/James Guckert was the missing link in the Rathergate scandal.

 Cato Unbound » Blog Archive » The Case for the Libertarian Democrat
It is the case for the libertarian Democrat that has created much discussion and not a small amount of controversy when I first introduced the notion in what was, in reality, a throwaway blog post on Daily Kos on a slow news day in early June 2006.
In doing so, Kos is transforming from a blogger purely interested in strategy while ignoring ideology to one who has some points to make on political principles, even if the arguments do become awkward at times.
Markos at left-wing blog Daily Kos argued the Case for the Libertarian Democrat and caused quite a buzz, mostly reactions from the right that thought he was crazy.
