Huh?

Did Ambercat or anyone get fired from a job because Sherrod Brown didn't like them being critical of a campaign?�� Perspective, that's what I'm saying, have some perspective, see the big picture here.

Whatever it is that your referring to here seems to be to pale in camparison to the truly important consequences of the upcoming elections.�� It seems to be quite irrelevant to anything that's important in my life.��How many people have lost thier jobs in Ohio?�� just that one?��

I think we need to focus outside of our pride and parlor chats!

And since I've been before accused,��I'm too arrogant and confident to post under another name, just so everyone's clear~ :-)

Question

Jean,�� I'm all about being friends.�� Amber, you, me, all of us.�� But I just had a quick question for you.�� What part of your compassion and caring lines up with causing someone to lose their job over being critical of a political campaign?

There are lots of reasons why some don't and won't support Sherrod and his Senate campaign...or maybe you weren't paying attention.

Ok, Amber

You might want to step away from the keyboard for a moment...take a breath...

then I invite you to rethink and edit your comment, and I say that��out of compassion.��

I'm not as wrapped up in this blogiverse as you seem to be; I don't even know or have ever read an "em dash"~

I do not know the Congressman��personally, and if my attitude comes from anything it comes from practical logic, study, a grip in reality, astute insight,��experience, and geniune caring.��

I'm just one person, and I swear I'm not part of a vast conspiracy, except I will admit to being part of the "Soul Patrol"!��:-)

Ok, let's be friends, ok?�� geez!!! :-)

You just breathed live into the "dead horse" once again, Jean

I have valid reasons for not supporting Sherrod Brown whether you want to believe it or not. To be honest, I've long suspected YOU are Em Dash. And I believe the attitude of people like yourself and Em Dash emanates directly from Brown. I'd like to be shown I'm wrong, but I've been waiting four long months and haven't seen a hint that I am.

Oh, Amber!

Com'on now, let it go~ if you don't want to "support" Sherrod Brown, find a rational reason for withholding your support.�� You're beating that horse to death!�� Isn't that tiring? Let it go,��free yourself ~~~

Wow!

In light of their completely irrelevant posting of personal information about Tim Russo, this is just jaw-dropping. And maybe it explains why Armando always seems to be so mind-numbingly angry and combative. I noticed some threads about the "outing of Armando" over on DailyKos, but I didn't read them because it seemed so insiderish and besides, I don't like Armando so I didn't care. So who is Em Dash? That poster is a a significant part of the reason I won't support Sherrod Brown come hell or high water. I hadn't seen any posts from him lately �� we must have mostly different interests �� but to me, he embodied everything that was wrong in the way Brown supporters tried to "win" people to their side, with name-calling, put-downs, bullying and threats.

As some predicted, it didn't take long for Armando of dkos to completely meltdown and go scurrying off to his corner with his blanket and cry. He was recently exposed as a corporate attorney for Wal-Mart pushing their agenda on the front pages of Dailykos. He had early protested in his typically profane ridden way about requests for front pagers to offer some disclosure - now that reluctance is obvious.

Well then (11+ / 0-)
You know who KOS is right? He knows who WE are.

And he feels comfortable publishing us.

So how the f uck is it your business then.

Do you trust kos or not is the question isn't it?

Here's the solution, don't read us. Leave. Now.

I wouldn't normally weigh into this garbage but the hypocrisy got to me. Today Armando wrote a piece at his own blog and in it he had this to say

But it was no secret that I wished to insure that my personal information was not published. And it is an instant bannable offense at daily kos to reveal personal information.

Really ? A bannable offense ? I guess only when it suits. kos himself did his little hit piece on the front page here, and the poster of the hit piece he links to is still writing at dkos, in fact Armando himself even weighs into it too.

The animosity and the roots of this issue can be found here where I confronted kos on his flip flop on Hackett and the whole payola he and Armstrong had going on. The payola is still on going, this time with Mark Warner - for a DLC candidate like Warner to get so much love from the supposedly DLC hating kos and Armstrong is well, funny until you consider the money involved. I may have been one of the first to notice, but certainly not the last.

I am left wondering if kos knew who Armando really was and what his professional agenda might be.

My only real regret from all this is that I didn't break the story when the Armando oppo was leaked to me in an effort to shop it around. I guess at the time I didn't see much relevance to it and Ohio, and I'm not a big enough traffic whore to just put it out there - but for those interested check the extended section
