Liberal Asshats

Kevin Aylward at Wizbang is running a Weblog 2004 Awards. People are invited to visit the site and to vote once every 24-hour period. Noted Leftist Blogger site The Daily Kos*** posted some code to enable its readers to directly violate this request and to set up a script to automatically force new votes. Here's Kevin: bq. Count Every Vote Thanks members of the comment section at Daily Kos publishing automated voting code we've had to enforce strict IP checking for the polls. I had hoped that people would be able to conduct themselves in a civilized manner, but apparently that was too much to ask. Once the code got into circulation many of the sites nominated for Best Overall Blog got "help" by automated bots designed to continuously vote. bq. Those sites have been blocked permanently from accessing this site, but there's no way to stop future attacks short of limiting each IP address to one vote every 24 hours. Unfortunately this will affect AOL users and those behind corporate firewalls. The denizens of Daily Kos have left me no alternative. bq. Update: The IP addresses of those responsible will be submitted to their respective ISP's or universities for TOS violations. *** For reference, The Daily Kos is written by Markos Moulitsas Z�niga. In April of 2004, he wrote about the four USA Citizens who were brutally murdered, burned and hanged in Fallujah. I would post the link to this article but Kos has redacted it and when you try to link to it, you get his blogs front page. Fortunately, Charles at LGF saved a copy: bq. Daily Kos Gloats Over Fallujah Markos Moulitsas Z�niga, also known as �Daily Kos,� couldn�t restrain his joy over the gruesome deaths of four of his fellow citizens yesterday, and expressed one of the ugliest sentiments I�ve seen yet on the lefty blogs (and that�s really saying something).
Let the people see what war is like. This isn�t an Xbox game. There are real repercussions to Bush�s folly. That said, I feel nothing over the death of merceneries. They aren�t in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them.
This is not what the situation was... But there is some nice karmic payback -- again Charles at LGF: bq. Kos Kandidates Krushed �Rising Democratic star� Markos �Screw Them� Zuniga sponsored 15 Democratic candidates for Congress, raising a total of more than half a million dollars for their campaigns from his gullible followers. bq. And every single one of those candidates lost. Good call, Kos! Heh...
