I was wondering when you would post that, Kenneth... Just to be clear, I am directly accusing Markos Moulitsas of astroturfing for the Obama campaign As discussed here: jimtreacher.com If you don't know what astroturfing is, it's defined here: en.wikipedia.org I figure the process goes something like this: * Kos posts the initial meme -- in this case, "Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor" -- attributing it to "a reader." dailykos.com * The astroturfing team blasts that meme across dozens (hundreds?) of blogs, like so, in an attempt to make it look like a spontaneous response to Kos's post. google.com * Morons fall for it. andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com Or at least that's how I'd do it if I were an underhanded sociopath who looks like something that wriggled out of Peter Lorre's ass. (No offense, Mr. Moulitsas.) In this post-Palin world, that's the way this stuff is done. The accusation is made, and then it's confirmed or refuted. The onus is on Kos to prove me wrong. This is called, in his words, "citizen journalism." Now I'm just going to sit back and see how it shakes out. jimtreacher.com Apparently you can also be added to the list of "Morons who fall for it". You are such a DNC parrot. LOL! Diz-
