"When lives are at stake, agencies violate privacy."

"People who care will make mistakes. People who don't care will make mistakes. When lives are at stake, agencies violate privacy."

This was a comment from a Kossack who helped expose a bloggers identity to the world. Apparently, her logic is that because someone was in danger, it was justifiable to invade their privacy. Interesting...I wonder how she feels about the NSA call logging program.

"Guys, while I appreciate the sentiment for Buffy's well-being and safety, there have been serious violations of privacy -- many of them completely unjustifiable.
...it's creepy, disturbing, and violates her privacy without her consent or permission. All of this because she wrote a weird and depressed-sounding GBCW diary." -- Markos (founder of Daily Kos)

DKos promoting Voter Intimidation?

"Put the Christian Right in a state of internal conflict, and it might discourage enough them from voting to make a difference in the election."

Read it here.

DKos says: Republicans not going to heaven

"Republican voters are voting for torture, murder, illegal wars, and now pedophilia and the covering up of pedophilia.

Anyone that votes Republican in the upcoming election simply won't be going to Heaven."

Read it here.

DKos says: Christians want to torture and kill you!

"The Amish show the so-called Christian right the true meaning of Christianity. The Christain right wants bombs, torture, eavesdoping, kids sent to their deaths, civil rights taken away, cuture wars, etc. True Christians, like the Amish, turn the other cheek."

Democratic Organizer Quits After Calling Allen 'Macacawitz'

Liberals embrace Schadenfeude

"It just feels so damn good to see those evil bastards scrabbling around, eating their young, eyeing each other suspiciously, showing their true, putrid colors and falling, excrudescently to the pavement and bursting like writhing pus-pockets of worms.

Now if you can't gloat over something like that, what can you gloat over?"

http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2006/10/4/16038/7557/7#c7

Of course, the liberals love this Foley scandal. It gives them yet another story to rant about instead of explaining what their plan is for the country. The 'T' key on their keyboard is worn out from typing 'torture' over and over again. Now, they're working on the 'F' key. In the meantime, they still have not announced a clear plan for the country when/if they take back control.

By the way, the New Direction was not a plan. It was a wish list.

Hmm... That's it? You mean I can still favor low taxes, abhor abortion, embrace capitalism, fight terrorism, favor English as the national language, secure our borders, remain a Christian, favor school choice, favor privatizing Social Security, eliminate the minimum wage, shop at WalMart, drive an SUV, and watch Fox News?

Congrats to Kos

"

My wife and I just got back from the 12-week ultrasound, and seeing that everything looks healthy and normal, I think it's safe to announce that yes, we're about six months away from having our second child.

The due date is early April. And while it's been a rough pregnancy thus far (just like the first), it was great seeing our very active 3-inch baby on a monitor."

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/10/3/132231/477

Politics aside, congratulations to Kos and his wife. I also applaud his choice of words in that comment. I'm glad to hear the "3-inch baby" is healthy. May I suggest the babies first book? How about Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell?

Another Evil Plan Exposed!

"This article for the first time tied together for me all the disparate elements of the seemingly irrational Bush foreign policy into a comprehensible and comprehensive - albeit evil - plan. "

Dr.Evil to Mr. Bush, "You're not evil. You're semi-evil. You're quasi-evil. You're the margarine of evil. You're the diet coke of evil. Just one calorie-- not evil enough."

The writer was "literally shaking" after reading that a US naval group is heading to the middle-east.

The Republicans Evil Plan Exposed!

"They'll happily kill, maim, and torture 16 year olds in the pursuit of power.

It's a whole goddam party of war crimes proponents.

And as we saw with the Detainee Treatment Act, we have our own Fifth Column that is willing to embrace virtually any crime in order to retain political power.

What's a little inappropriate sexual conduct among war criminals?"

http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2006/10/2/193158/711/40#c40

Straight from Kos himself:

"We wonder how Republicans can keep throwing our nation's men and women in uniform -- so many under the age of 20 -- into the Iraq meatgrinder without feeling something, anything at all. There's a disconnect that I had chalked up to simple elitism. Their kids weren't going to be dragged off that hellhole in the dessert anytime soon, so why should they care? Wars are for the unprivileged and voiceless to fight."

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/10/2/193158/711

Unprivileged and voiceless, huh? Hm. All this time I thought our soldiers were volunteers. This was an interesting story. He actually attempted to link the Iraq War with Foley's alleged sex scandal.

Ahmadinejad really cares about the environment, an Israel-free environment!

"If nuclear technology is clean and desired in the United States, Canada and other industrialized nations there should be an understanding that Western cultures are not the only nations that have a responsibility to the environment and to their local populations, national security and economic growth. The entire debate over Iran's nuclear energy program has been framed by the leaders of the world as solely a nuclear weapons debate and very little has been made of the constant claims and seeming validations of independent bodies that Iran's nuclear program is for energy use."

"This particular group is pretty interesting. Much more polished and on point than your typical run of the mill rethug trolls. Seemed really concerned about defending Republican Corporate policies i.e big pharma in nyceve's recent diary "Strip them of THEIR healthcare coverage. It appears that they only attack serious diaries where they can debate the issues and advance their talking points. They are not, willie nillie, spamming the site. Your Wal-Mart titles naturally drew their attention."

What happened to the good ol' America I used to hate?

"I no longer live in America. At least, not the America I know, the country I love, the ideas for which I stood at the age of 17 and pledged to uphold and defend with the last breath in my body. Somewhere, somehow, the land of the free and home of the brave has disappeared."

I feel like those trying to escape hitler's

germany before it was to late. I'll fight through the election, but after that I plan to move for my own safty (I don't fear Al queda, I fear Bushco). I'll return in two years to fight where I feel a good man is standing up against an evil incumbant, but I'm now embarest to be an American. While it is my home, Bu$hco's fascism has made it a place I can't call my own, I'll fight the neocons (nazis) where I can but refuse to be associated with their misguided ideology. So now I'm an American by birth but not by choice, hopefully someday in the future I will once again be proud to be an American, sadly that is not today."
