Daily Kos Dems Remain Irrevocably Clueless

Markos Moulitsas Zúniga (photo at left), the founder of the DailyKos blog, once again demonstrates the impermeability of Democrat consciousness. “They let us down this time,” Jonathan E. Kaplan quotes the popular blogger’s response to the inability or rather unwillingness of congressional Democrats to impose a timeline on the neocon occupation of Iraq. “But the opportunities for them to make amends still exist. And if they don’t? Well, no one, not even the most rabid partisans, have an endless supply of patience.” In other words, Zúniga, like a battered wife who believes things will get better tomorrow, is sticking with the double-dealing Democrats.

“Liberal bloggers even criticized House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), who helped recapture the House last year as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), for saying that the deal was ‘the beginning of the end of the president’s policy in Iraq,’” Kaplan writes.

Rahm Emanuel? I had to chuckle reading that one.

Apparently, dyed-in-the-wool Democrats are not bothered by the fact Emanuel is high up in the Democratic Leadership Council, he is chairman of the Democratic caucus, and is a member of the New Democrat Coalition. “New Democrats” are described as “moderate and pro-business,” in other words they are committed to globalism and transnational corporatism. It should be noted, for Democrats in need of a history lesson, these “New Democrats” worked tirelessly to pass Permanent Normal Trade Relations for the slave labor gulag of China, fast track Trade Promotion Authority—i.e., gutting the Constitution and the power of Congress—and H-1B visa “reform,” that is undermining American workers who are considered overpaid—even useless eaters—by our corporatist rulers and potentates.

Emanuel, known fondly as “Rahm-bo” for his desire to murder political opponents, is a former Israeli citizen who volunteered for service not in the U.S. military during the so-called Gulf War—actually the first Bush invasion of Iraq—but the Israeli military as a “civilian volunteer,” thus demonstrating his allegiance. Of course, as Emanuel’s father was a member of the Israeli terrorist organization Irgun, notorious for blowing up hotels and killing civilians, this make perfect sense. Naturally, as the heirs of Irgun now run Israel, and they have a vested interest in the United States attacking their enemies in not only Iraq but eventually Iran and elsewhere, and “Rahm-bo” served in the IOF (Israel Occupation Forces), we can assume the Congress critter from Illinois was simply engaging in well-practiced deception when he stated: “At the right time, we will have a position” on the Iraq occupation. Indeed, AIPAC bought and paid for Dems will have a “position,” as Emanuel calls it, after Israel’s enemies are defeated—or short of that, their homelands reduced to smoldering, depleted uranium permeated rubble.

At any rate, as Kaplan writes, “left wing” Democrats have declared they will no longer “contribute a penny” to the party after Emanuel and the leadership issued a “blank check” to Bush and the neocons in regard to the occupation of Iraq. The Daily Kos Democrats have taken umbrage at the issuance of a letter from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “Most galling to some activists was a DCCC letter that tried to claim credit for forcing President Bush to agree to ‘accountability and reporting provisions,’” an effort that produces a rather laughable and wholly predictable mirage, as the neocons are firmly in control of Congress and the executive and will not be pushed around by a few libs with conscience. “Readers at the DailyKos website were furious about the letter, while other readers were angry that the DCCC used James Carville, a Democratic political consultant, in a separate fundraising pitch. Many said they would not donate to DCCC any more.”

Carville is married to the Bush “consultant” and neocon, Mary Matalin, once again demonstrating there is no difference between mainline Democrats and Republicans, a fact that apparently irks a few lib Dems, but not to such a degree that they abandon the party in disgust. Obviously, Democrats, even lib Democrats, are gluttons for punishment.

“As angry as liberal activists are over last week’s vote, it is not clear now whether they can punish congressional Democrats who supported the supplemental spending bill,” Kaplan wrote on May 30. “Some Democratic lawmakers and aides are frustrated with the liberal wing of the Democratic Party and feel whatever they do would not be good enough.” In other words, these lawmakers and aides are tired of listening to their constituents, who voted overwhelmingly to end the occupation of Iraq and bring the troops home. For these “lawmakers,” actually corporate whores and AIPAC lapdogs, the Daily Kos Democrats need to sit down, shut up, and get accustomed to the in-your-face betrayal.

If common sense ruled the day, the Daily Kos Democrats, with Markos Moulitsas Zúniga leading the charge, would use their “netroot” power to yank the bottom out of the Democrat party and thus send a message to Rahm Emanuel and his ilk. But this will not happen. Daily Kos Dems are emotionally wedded to the party, never mind the self-destructive irrationality of this marriage.

If the Daily Kos murmurings reveal anything, it is that “mainstream” Democrats, even the anti-war and lib faction, are so completely brainwashed and stepfordized they will never reform the party—or, for that matter, defect and start anew with a fresh political party—and will instead spend their time complaining at the “netroot” level on blogs and messageboards, thus not effectuating change, much to the delight of the corporatist whores and AIPAC lickspittles led by Rahm Emanuel, the little “Rahm-bo” who demonstrated his allegiance to Israel, same as the Bush neocons.
