pushing for Bernie to primary Obummer back in 2011 to achieve banishment much sooner. May the GOS go into the dung heap of irrelevance. I don't miss it one bit.

Sort of confirms your point about the fetid (spell check just transposed fetid for feudal) feudal nature of thing at GOS. What does GOS stand for, since I'm not that clever about these things.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
"The Brainwashing of My Dad" is a excellent inside look to how the poison takes hold and what the collateral damage is to those around the converted cultists:
Keith Olbermann, what a cruel joke he's become. A great beacon of justice and journalistic integrity, he's completely melted down and lost his mind, like far too many to mention here during this sad and pathetic political season.
From about 7:49, about Olbermann specifically, on the Jimmy Dore Show, with Glen Greenwald:
Really great to see Greenwald speaking with Dore. These are two of a rarefied bunch of fearless journalists and advocates who will carry us forward. Must support these folks more than ever.

GOS Great Orange Satan, I like it. I'm not very superstitious and don't believe in Satan. I do like the show on FOX. "Lucifer" so all in all I may not be redeemable. Sorry OT.
I had gone over there to tip and recommend, along with reading the comments which were overwhelmingly favorable to you. I was not going to bring up your being sat in the corner, but raboof did, so I asked the question here.
Based upon a response, it appears that you inferred another commenter was a shill after said commenter accused you of being a Russian agent and told you to post at RT. I guess inferring someone is a shill is worse than accusing someone of being a Russian agent. Zen Rhen made a good point here.
The admin has a hair trigger for timing out people to the admins’ left. This admin despises any person or group even mildly to the left of the its centrism.

is the fact that you are too far left of the center right owner of that blog. I have noticed that people who tell the truth tend to be the ones who get sat down in the corner.
Should I ask the help desk about it?

comfortable operating within the US 2-Party framework. They tend to categorize all political discourse in terms of its being either pro-D or pro-R, and they insist that there is no realistic alternative or option, but to line up under the banner of either one side or the other. They implicitly support the quarrelsome interplay between these two political behemoths, as being a reasonable, inevitable, and structurally permanent way to govern the nation.
Of course the D side is perceived as being the Good Side, and the R side as being the Evil Side -- therefore all constructive efforts must be focused on promoting the one, and hindering the other. This is a dualistic philosophy par excellence, a nearly Manichaean zero-sum game that tends to foster a sense of self-righteousness among its most committed adherents. It involves certain lines that must not be crossed, and many thoughts that must not be expressed, lest they weaken the solidarity of the Good Cause, thereby giving aid and succor to the Other Side.
Daily Kos is a site intended as a home for devoted partisans, providing a place for them to unite and plan together, as a functioning team. It is not, generally speaking, a place that welcomes free thinking, critical analysis, or intrusively objective perspectives.
I think the same thing can reasonably be said of the Democratic Party as a whole. Which IMO does not bode well for its future prospects, since we are certainly living in a time when bold, original, outside-the-box thinking is becoming ever more obviously essential.
party! I tipped and rec'd it as it is one of the best posts on the tubes re. HRC's loss! I had a feeling you'd be geing a T.O.

Comments
I can identify!
I got one of those silly messages sometime last year after making a less than praiseworthy comment about Her Royal Clintonness.
It took me a couple of days to decide to 'acknowledge' my naughtiness, but frankly, it wasn't hard to leave such a juvenile place.
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
Haven't been to GOS since last summer. I should have kept

Fetid is actually a good description
Perhaps spellcheck is onto something...

GOS = Great Orange Satan, which is what I believe Bill O'Reilly,
who sadly now could be referred to as the RW Keith Olbermann, referred to it as during one of his famous witch hunts against we godless libruls.
There's nothing funny about that fascist scumbag though, his personal diatribes against the abortion doctor Dr. Tiller "The Killer" resulted in a deranged Fox News lemming shooting him in his own church. It's a very real predicament how many older white folks have been poisoned by their RW extremist propaganda.

Thanxs. No doubt O'Reilly's a pill.

That wasn't even mentioned
in my TO message.
So I don't think it was important.
Heh, the important part
is the fact that you are too far left of the center right owner of that blog. I have noticed that people who tell the truth tend to be the ones who get sat down in the corner.

I would like Markos to release his tax forms.

Stay strong and welcome to the club. Daily Kos is an establishment echo-chamber and will miss your voice dearly.
Pathetic.
