Kingpin Kos: 'Remember To Be Polite'

I agree with the folks who think the Fox News crusade against JetBlue for its role in the YearlyKos convention next week is misguided, and the contention that Daily Kos is a "hate site" is ridiculous.

On the other hand, now that Daily Kos and other liberal blogs have launched a counter-crusade against Fox News and its advertisers like Home Depot and Lowe's, it is amusingly ironic that Kingpin Kos still has to send admonitions like this to his minions: "Remember to be polite when e-mailing. If your e-mail looks anything like the winger hate mail I'm getting, it won't be effective at all."

He wouldn't be writing warnings like that unless he knew his community was capable of generating the same kind of "hate mail" as Daily Kos critics.

Hi Danny,

KOS and co. didn't force Lowe's to stop advertising on O'Reilly. Lowe's dropped their ads after O'Reilly made his dumb and insensitive comments about Shawn Hornbeck in Jan/Feb 2007. LGF has the details. The KOS kiddies just want to take credit for something they never had a hand in bringing about.
