Comrades,
Interesting how Chicago/Louisiana politics carry on, morphing from smoke-filled back rooms and suitcases full of greasy $20 bills into Cyber-rooms, with electronic cash transfers.
Kos is just a shill for folks with more street savvy and political intelligence than he even can comprehend. His followers are being duped by him, subtley being fed the message, and Markos doesn’t even realise that HE’S the one being played.
It’s all so Rovian, so deliciously ironic, considering all the doomsday blathering about Republicans and brother Karl coming from the tinfoil hat brigades who hang onto Kos’ every byte.
There’s a name for folks like Markos, and those who worship his blog. It applies equally to those of a simlar nature on the opposite side. It’s an old and well-used word in American politics. It’s spelled s.u.c.k.e.r……….

TNR’s The Plank had a couple of very interesting items on this here and here. Apparently Kos has sent out the marching orders to fellow bloggers to keep mum on this stuff.

[...] Ever get the feeling you’re watching the beginning of the end for a house of cards? Kos and his co-author Jerome Armstrong are feeling the heat from the pay-for-play allegations swirling around the blogosphere in light of the recent Mark Warner poodle show at YearlyKos and the revelation that Jerome Armstrong signed a consent decree with the SEC regarding stock-price manipulation on an Internet bubble dog. How do we know? Because he’s circling the wagon and threatening lawsuits (hat tip to our friend Dennis): Why the strange silence in the face of such damning allegations? Well, I think we now know the answer. It’s a deliberate strategy orchestrated by Kos. TNR obtained a missive Kos sent earlier this week to “Townhouse,” a private email list comprising elite liberal bloggers, including Jane Hamsher, Matt Stoller, and Christy Hardin Smith. And what was Kos’s message to this group that secretly plots strategy in the digital equivalent of a smoke-filled backroom? Stay mum! He wrote…: [...]
