David Brooks Levels Kos

David Brooks, quite probably the only sane voice at the NY Times, takes on the biggest fish in the wacky left sea as he dissembles Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, otherwise known as Kos to his thousands of crazy friends at DailyKos (from Raw Story):

In Sunday’s paper, conservative New York Times columnist David Brooks attacks the founder of Daily Kos for acting like a “Kingpin” who “commands his followers” to “unleash their venom on those who stand in the way,” RAW STORY has found.

“The Keyboard Kingpin, aka Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, sits at his computer, fires up his Web site, Daily Kos, and commands his followers, who come across like squadrons of rabid lambs, to unleash their venom on those who stand in the way,” writes Brooks. “And in this way the Kingpin has made himself a mighty force in his own mind, and every knee shall bow.” ...

Brooks suggests that Markos is a hypocrite for lashing out at The New Republic for leaking the private emails.

“The Kingpin waxed Cheneyesque on the evils of leaking, and this time the squeaking fury of the Kossacks could be heard (to those capable of discerning high frequencies) far and wide,” writes Brooks.

Brooks also compares Markos to the indicted former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

“The Kingpin is not surprised by such betrayals,” opines Brooks. “Sounding like Tom DeLay — who is his moral doppelgaenger — Kos says that those who crash the gates and take on the establishment are bound to be attacked.”

I don't think Brooks is going to get a Christmas card from Kos this year.
