I don’t know how Steve can split his time like that. Working on a campaign requires major dedication. Maybe he can occupy two different places at the same time. Very rare.

Rumor has it that Steve Abbott is running for Congress too. The plot thickens.

$10…$100…whatever you can spare, everything helps our new fillibuster-proof majority in D.C.

Plus, it will make joe liarman really mad!

And wouldn’t being on the Federal payroll make his activities on her campaign…ahem…a violation of the HATCH ACT?

EvilDrPuma @ 44: yeah their proof of a “conspiracy” is laughably weak, and also wrong, funny also that none of them noticed the poster’s pseudonym is a reference to a 70s sci-fi bomb about a “fake god” – IOW it was never a “plant”. But they were just miserable failures at understanding the point Kos made: cherry-picking extreme comments is a stupid game where everyone loses. Hey, on the intertubes, no one knows I’m a dog. But more importantly, no one on the right denounced the idea that we need another 9/11. What does it matter who posted it if they agree with it?

CHS @ 51 and Darkie @ 183 are also dead-on. Though I will mention from personal experience that Road Runner changed their blocks around a lot recently, and their policies on rotating IP addresses are not very consistent. Meaning, you aren’t 100% correct, but your point certainly stands, even though it’s sorta moot in this particular case.

Mods, I’ve been censored b4 for foul-mouthed posts – rightfully, I think, I do have a potty mouth (and use a lot of pseudonyms). So please check my post very carefully. I wouldn’t want to make your “fem-blog” any more “foul-mouthed” than it already is.

So Collins rubberstamps the Patriot Act and then wants people to stop following her and recording her. Bwwwwwwaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

Did anyone tell her that just following her with a camera and microphone like the Patriot Act without the steroids?

If you’re not paranoid, but always wanted to be…watch the movie “Enemy of the State” with Will Smith, Gene Hackman and John Voight.

“…a blog run by Collins’ director of online communications—and that blog doesn’t even represent itself as affiliated with Susan Collins.”

Uh, the logic escapes me…??? ;-)

That might be their way of saying, “We stand by that comment.” or it could be their way of saying, “She never said it, so there’s nothing to apologize for. Move along, nothing to see here. What statement?”

FWIW, I think someone on FDL (I don’t know how to do it) should daily present here RW talking points and perhaps analysis.

It’s one thing to attack or dismiss right wingers.

It’s another to confront them head on, not ad hominem.

R: Fear!

D: Uh, no, let’s not.

Down south I think they say it’s ad hominy. He he.

Jane,

Right On!

Des Moines seems to be a hotspot today. We had HRC, Biden and Ghouliani at the Iowa State Fair today. Ironically, it was also the celebrity Cow Chip throwing contest.

If you do not know what a Cow Chip is, you do not want to know.

Too salty?

Only 2 to a bag?

Flies like a frisbee only crooked?

Skips over water like a stone?

Better when dry!

LS at 37 — HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You have GOT to be kidding me? The IP traces back to Road Runner Holding Co. LLC — which is a cable modem from a national cable company. And they are going to say that all people who get cable modem service from this cable company are involved in some grand Kos conspiracy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

OMG — even with my limited tech skills, that’s so transparently sad…bless their hearts.

Collins’ campaign apparently borrowed their Internet experts from Lieberman as well.

I sent the maintainer of that site a little note pointing out that given the nearly 1 million possible addresses in the RR address block in question and given that the addresses are reassigned frequently that the odds after 3 weeks of it being the same box were really very low. But, hey, I’m sure facts are just an annoyance. Anyone who’s run a real site and tried to ip block someone would have learned that already.

lots of new names around here lately. somebody send candy to Collins for all the free pub!

I was thinking something similar: John Edwards receives attention from Matthews on Hardball. Maybe we should give Tweety a small break for a few hours. :-)

I wonder, do the presidential candidates blog much. Edwards should visit the Lake and other blogs while he’s on the bus. Can they do that, blog on a bus?
