The Daily Kos Strike and the NSPD 51

Some Hillary supporters at the Daily Kos are angered by management’s seeming disapproval of their candidate.

Here’s what Alegre writes in a HuffPost excerpt.

“Sadly, the majority of the administrators have allowed this hostile environment to develop in our online community for anyone who isn’t planted firmly in the Obama camp. They've routinely ignored personal attacks and allowed disruptive, spam-like posts to go unchecked whenever anyone expresses support for Hillary or challenges something their candidate has said or done. There are however several front-pagers who have managed to avoid taking part in the attacks on Hillary and for that I’m grateful. But the site has grown to the point where they simply can’t – or won’t monitor it.

As a result, our community has become little more than an echo chamber with an attitude that harkens back to the early days of Dubbya’s administration - yer either with us or yer a’gin us, heh! The attackers and disrupters are no better than Chris Matthews with their sexism, hate, lies, and obsession with bashing - all – things – Hillary.”

Humbly, I urge all decent Americans to consider the alternative. Our country is bordering on Martial Law and the suspension of elections. We risk a coup d’etat, which will crush our liberties and enslave us under a despot.

Our teachers warn. If we fail to educate one generation of students properly, we will lose our civilization forever.

Well, we proved we were a bit tougher than that.

The merchants of tyranny have been trumpeting fear, hatred, racism and bigotry for three generations. Since 1947 they have been bashing our protective walls our Constitution, our human rights and our checks and balances. We lack conscientious legislators, judges and administrators.

Nobody in authority dares to discuss the implications of NSPD 51.

Nobody in law enforcement dares to challenge the sale of our nuclear secrets to potential enemies.

Almost everyone saluted the Patriot and Military Commissions Acts.

We discussed Hillary’s asbestos pants suits and Barack’s floppy ears.

My advice to voters and to Daily Kos writers is to get a meaningful life and then to fight for your life in order to have one.

Good night and good luck.
