Do we have to copy and paste Daily Kos diaries here?
Lately, some have felt the need to go to the Daily Kos website in search of a diary written by some anonymous diarist.

The DU'er then proceeds to start a thread here titled "Daily Kos says this or that".

Wrong. The Daily Kos didn't say anything. Some diarist whose identity could be me or my grandmother expressed his opinion.

Isn't this forum here for us to express OUR OWN opinion?
I understand posting articles by journalists, or Markos Moulitsas, who represents the Daily Kos and is not hidden behind a nickname.

Be original folks.

2. Why post anything from that thing? If you want to look at it, just go there.

9. "That thing." Is liberalism that uncomfortable for you?
Really, that's a rather odd position to take in regards to a preeminent progressive website.

Interesting.

13. I'll you why. It's premier liberal website
People like Durbin, Kerry, Conyers etc, post there regularly. Dozens of dems running for office post there. Like it or not, Markos is very influential, and all of the frontpagers have impressive creds.

8. "Lately"?
A member of about 24 hours and 15 posts admonishing us to be original ... rich.

Kos and numerous other sites are often referenced, and have been for years. Discussion ensues. Opinions are expressed. See how that works? If you don't like the Kos threads, ignore them...
