IMO RE Daily Kos' hit? Piece vs BAR's Questions re BLM-Dim Link:
Submitted by Nixakliel on Thu, 08/13/2015 - 05:50
First of all the Daily Kos has been a 'Liberal'-'Progressive' sounding Dim sycophant mouth-piece, especial since the advent of Obama. From the Daily Kos' Wikipedia page:} The Daily Kos functions as a discussion forum and group blog for a variety of NetRoots Activists whose efforts are PRIMARILY DIRECTED TOWARD influencing and STRENGTHING the Democratic Party with a particular focus on progressive policies and candidates...

Furthermore Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas intially was a Repug Precinct Capt in Dim strong-hold Chicago IL & worked for the re-election campaign of IL Repug US Congressman Henry Hyde....{

So Daily Kos is for now hyped on Bernie Sanders, but when Bernie almost certainly folds his tent sometime next yr & bows to Billary, its a sure bet Daily Kos will back Killary Clinton, & almost certainly won't back Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

In any event this Daily Kos {hit?} Piece seems to take the opportunity to take a few jabs at BAR [Bro Glen Ford in particular]. As if BAR's responsible for the Seattle BLM sisters’ confrontation vs Bernie Sanders. IMO the Seattle BLM folks took their 'confront Bernie' tactics & cues from the top BLM sisters seizure of the Net Roots stage from Bernie a couple of weeks ago in Phoenix. So to try to spin this & imply that the folks at BAR had some hand in this, is just disingenuous on Daily Kos' part! If the BLM folks in Seattle went 'off script' in Seattle, then that's an internal matter for the BLM leadership to deal w [but again one of the top national BLM sisters literally 'set the stage' for such confront Bernie tactics].

Furthermore IMO to have such a known Dim sycophant as the Daily Kos, apparently backing the so-called 'real' BLM folks, again begs the question is BLM being co-opted by the Dims [or has it been already], much as the Dims tried to co-opt Occupy Wall St during the 2012 election cycle. When the Dims were only partially successful in co-opting OWS, then Obama sicced his 'Storm-Troopers' [aka the Cops] on OWS in coordinated fashion across the US! IMO the BLM sisters should at this point endorse NO POTUS candidate [w the possible exception of Jill Stein] & NEVER even think about endorsing Billary / Killary under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!!! IF Bernie pulls off a miracle & upsets Billary as the Dims POTUS candidate next Yr [IMO a Mighty BIG IF], then BLM might / maybe 'consider' endorsing him.
