IIRC, Kos is on the short side. Dang, isn’t this classic Napoleonic complex behavior? Any perceived slight must be addressed with rhetorical A-bombs, and he seems to have no shortage of perceived slights. Has this guy ever heard of “Think twice, post once”?

I don’t think this will be the end of Kos or anything like that, but given that I think he’s the chief poisoner of political discourse today, it’s nice to imagine this maybe opening a few people’s eyes about the guy and the vile anger he so happily unleashes.

Say, is there any coincidence in the fact that John Kerry has recently stuck himself in the Kos/Left camp, and now Kos is facing troubles? Maybe Kerry has taken on Gore’s old anti-Midas touch.

If I understand his plan correctly, he’s going to ‘wait to respond’ until Armstrong gets this thing cleared up. That could be a while…

In the meantime he gets hit by the death of a thousand cuts. His real legal danger is non-existent, but his ego is bleeding badly. A wise move might be to distance himself from Armstrong, but having a book with your name side by side on it…juicy.(Not to mention the symbiotic/parasitic coexistence of ‘shaking down’ the gates) All of Kos’ flailing and the reality that this is going to go on for a looong time is priceless.

Ned Beaty is breathing a sigh of relief. It will be Kos’ squealing that all others will be compared to.

Bottom line? The people who go to his sight are so far out of touch and are so addicted to his site giving them their marching orders for their grand movement, that his viewership will hold. The money he was making will fall back, and that can have a very negative affect on a person’s psyche. Kos is showing how thin his skin is already, and this is just heating up.

For a guy who fed off the search to indict Bush officials to portray them as criminals/evil, now await an associates legal matters while the other side laughs, justice.

I do agree with some of his paranoia about old party dems wanting him knocked down-naming just one segment doesn’t do the conspiracy justice. Clinton, Lieberman, the DLC…apparently the Dems do approve of some preemptive strikes. Markos should keep his chin up/ 500,000 viewers a day(although 60,000 are conservatives/the press scrounging for material), that means he gets to about .8 percent of the dems who voted in 2004. Someday he’ll crack 1% of the party. He’s never going to lose his guys though, there is no better pied piper out there, and these rats need a home.

Fitzmas may have been a bust, but Kosola is turning into the surprise hit of the summer…

Someone on Protein Wisdom came up with “Kosmas”

When you think about it…the single triumph of the left-o-sphere to date is “WAPO/BEN/Blog” debacle — not a stellar and impressive list of accomplishments. Additionally, the WAPO comment blogswarm debacle was– their triumph– a sad display and frankly disgraceful spectacle…they attacked Ben, his family, upbringing, that he was home-schooled, called him a racist bigot who hated brown people and hinted he was gay BEFORE the dug up the plagiarized movie reviews — which is a legitimate question– but the stain of getting there superseded any sober plagiarism question. I predicted back then (as I am sure others saw) that the Ben/WAPO was the beginning of the ugly things to come — aka…get ready lefty blogs…the tables will turn.

And then there was the “Abramoff” WAPO blog comment debacle…in which I guess they perceived a victory – if by victory means having tons of their profanity laced viciousness removed from a corporate website.

Anyways, my point is irony. In the same vicious, vindictive, unsober, ends justify the means – scorch earth approach the left blogs use on a daily basis, it is this approach that ironically looks to sink Kos – at least severely affect his ability to REALLY be accepted pubically — does that make sense?

His (and ironically his TownHouse Authoritarian cult who accepted their marching orders – see ALL the IRONIES floating to the top here — there are a BUNCH) response was key here. If he chose the high-road, gave a “serious” response to TNR, acknowledged they raised good questions that he appreciated and believed were fair —ironically what he calls for from the “establishment” of politics routinely– he be taken MORE seriously, not less.– in essences took Glenn Greenwald’s advice. But he attacked in a really sophomoric and silly fashion (ala Hamsher) which does make one wonder…TNR seemed to hit a nerve– Kos CAN’T answer honestly (or at least in a way that won’t threaten to piss off his “roots”), his only option is to attack. And ironically instantly calling the TNR a member of the Vast Right Wing conspiracy — made Glenn’s – every Bush dissenter is labeled a liberal by the Authoritarian Cultist– a – dare is say — projectionist laughing stock material.

There are more, but this set of events in tandem with leftist TruthNot’s surreal and embarrassing contribution have really turned the tables in a deserved karmic sunshine way on the left. Everything the accuse and profess outrage at the are guilty of — and ironically they make they same missteps they mock.

Sorry so long, apparently I needed to say that.
