Daily Kos And The “American Taliban”
Written by Mark Harris on July 5th, 2005UPDATE: From the comment thread a new term worth mulling over Christofascist. Well I am glad that the 80% of Americans that self-identify as Christians will be happy to know they joined up with the fascist cause. Wow…
In one of the classic cases of why Howard Dean and the Kossacks have been a disaster at running the DNC check out this new gem that compares pretty much any center-right person with… The Taliban.
Last night I wrote “How the Islamic crazies are like the Right” to hammer home how fundamentalist Islam has more in common with the radical religious right, the American Taliban, than it does with the American Left.
This is a key point– it was easier for the Right to tie the American Left with our previous boogeyman, the communists, since we technically were nearer to the extreme left than where conservatives.
But today, things look quite different. I started the ball rolling on similarities on that previous post. Here are more similarities, as submitted by readers:
He then goes on listing different “issues” where crazy Islamists meet up with conservatives, such as gay marriage. (Glad to know daily Kos just compared a vast majority of Americans to the Taliban)
You should just check out how ridiculous this is for yourself. It is beyond belief that they can really compare anyone to the Taliban who slaughtered thousands of innocents and perpetrated a reign of terror on their own people. As logn as they keep up this idiocy they are destined to be the minority party. Even liberal americans will find this to be insane.

I’ve been to al Sistani’s English language website. He’s for anal sex between consenting married couples and says marriages for an hour are ok too if the wife agrees to the monetary value of the wedding present. Sounds a lot like prostitution to me. And that’s not very conservative.

It’s hilarious that you have an entire category devoted to DailyKos.
