Warning: this post contains racially insensitive language

It wasn't so long ago, only a few months, that Daily Kos (supposedly the second-most-linked and -read blog, although that combines its rankings with Political State Report) was presenting itself as a part of the political mainstream, a legitimate indicator of a movement within the Democratic Party. These days, the donkey can't run fast enough away from the wacko hatemongers at Kos.

Sue Strong at Blogs for Bush links to a post by one of the co-bloggers at Daily Kos that plumbs new depths in its use of racial slurs. The post, which is so appalling I won't even link to here (you can follow the Blogs for Bush link if you like, but consider yourself forewarned), is entitled "Uncle Tom Powell Stumps for Massah Bush" and leads off with a photo of the Secretary of State, helpfully captioned "Yes suh! Yes suh! Right away suh!" Amos n' Andy could not be reached for comment.

To think I had that site on my blogroll not long ago . . .
