Fresh off aligning itself with the left-wing American Prospect, now the South Dakota Democratic Party site Badlands Blue site is quoting the far-left Daily Kos. Does not seem ironic that one quotes Daily Kos about anger on the political right and, adding to the irony, one has to edit out the expletives?
Here are a couple pieces from Daily Kos that took me about five minutes to find. The Kossacks really hate Joe Lieberman (they have a whole thread dedicated to him). Not on untypical is this quote: "Listening to Joe "Sanctimonious Prick" Lieberman at today's AG hearings..." The first commenter calls Lieberman "toadying, bleating, sanctimonious, Bush-kissing GOP lickspittle."
Here's one posted this morning, which includes this gem: "Sure, I also believe that these neo-conmen are cynical bastards..." and concludes:
The Republicans that offer us cynical and cowardly crazy talk are espousing something else—rather than appeal to the better angels of our nature, they exploit and expose some of our most devilish flaws.
If there were an ideology we could label “terrorist”—that is pretty much how I would describe it.
One commenter writes, "The absolute greed of these death merchants is appalling," and concludes, "This asshole just flat out wants to kill and plunder." But at least they aren't angry at Kos.
Sen. Johnson, who will no doubt campaign as a moderate, might want to caution his supporters from aligning themselves with and drawing arguments from left-wing sources such as American Prospect and Kos. BTW, the National Journal ranks Senators on a liberal scale and conservative scale. As you can see, overall Sen. Johnson, in the 2006 rankings, voted liberal 69.2% and conservative 30.8% of the time. Readers can decide whether that counts as "moderate." I happen to think Sen. Johnson can reasonably run as a moderate Democrat, but his supporters are making his job harder.
