Kos: "Teabaggers" vs. Taliban

A special Friday helping of nuance from Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas, comparing ordinary patriotic Americans to members an evil Islamist cult killing our servicemen in Afghanistan:

In 2004, following the brutal murders of four U.S. contractors in Fallujah, Kos reacted bitterly: "Screw them," he blogged. While such an odious comment would likely kill a conservative's career, DailyKos' traffic and clout have expanded ever since.

What an angry, pitiful man.
