My Left Wing
MyLeftwing is published by the fearless Maryscott O'Connor, one of the few diarists from DailyKos to successfully go solo.
MLW is a site with a no holds barred attitude against Republicans but their ire is unabashedly unleashed against the conservative and even moderates of the Democratic party.
MLW is like a punk band, fast, furious and very metal. Maryscott is like a cross between Exene Cervenka (when she's in a good mood) and Sid Vicious (when she's really pissed off).
I am HUGE fan of this site and their publisher. They are truly the soul of the left in the netroots.

Get over yourself
Now I am not fan of MLW. Far from it. Used to post there. Got tired of it so stopped. I don't share Liza's liking for it. And as for punk creds, well, I am related to Henry Rollins (never met him, but talked with his grandmother right after her 100th birthday...if that counts).
Seriously, though, you are displaying PRECISELY the things you critcize in Liza and O'Connor. You assume that because they don't agree with you lockstep, you are a genius and they are fools. If that is what you dislike about MLW (whether it's true or not is irrelavent...it is your perception of the truth), they why are you behaving exactly as asinine and intolerant and stupid as your claims of others?
You may have no clue about Culture Kitchen, but we have built a well-respected little blog here. There are lots of things posted here that I don't fully agree with, but Liza and I are happy people post them...they bring up fascinating debate, help shape ideas and let a DIVERSITY of ideas get expressed. Sorry if we aren't lockstep in agreement with your little idea of how things should be. But we get plenty of recognition from far more impressive people than you: from Teresa Heinz Kerry to NASA scientists to Pacifica radio hosts and well known historians, we get some pretty cool praise and a readership that comes from all over the world, all branches of government, and from a diversity of ideas.
Criticize MLW if you like. I may well even agree with you more than I agree with Liza. But if you act like a prick again, I will consider zapping your bilous comment...and it would be only the third time I have ever done so.
























MLW & Liza's idiocy
Fearless, clueless more like. Maryscott O'Connor is a void, she and other dogmatics like her are no different from Bush, and the anal retentives who voted for him. She cares nothing about the wider issues, merely a few pet issues. She doesn't grasp what democratic means..
She and her fellow power junkies at DKos harassed and censored those who dared to speak out on the issues on that blog. She vilefied members who had been members of that blog for years, as soon as they dared stop marching in rigid lockstep. If you dared to express concern about issues like poverty, homelessness, outsourcing of jobs, the real significant problems facing real people, like the economy or health care crisis, and didn't agree to shut up, you were painted a corporate troll and banned.
Liza, you're as much a moron and as clueless as O'Connor is. As a former punk rocker, from way back, again you haven't a clue.. "metal"? Get over yourself.. I actually knew Sid Vicious, and his public persona was just that.. a facade that he himself was foolish enough to buy into after he became an addict. He was a sad, sweet and shy person and shouldn't be exploited by pathetic wannabes like yourself. Exene's idea of art is rolling around in excrement. The only thing apt about your analogy is the fact it exemplifies O'Connor's and your own shallow, self serving biliousness.
You should educate yourself, Liza, because the reason Bush got elected in the first place was because vacuous, braindead drones like yourself and O'Connor were so regressive that they didn't care less about the realities of what a Bush administration would bring about. They gleefully rationalized imposing Bush upon us as part of a despicable scheme called the "scorched earth theory". They knew he'd impose war, massive poverty and suffering. They didn't care about the innocent people who would be impacted, they were drunk on a blind lust for power. They hoped to feed parasitically off of this suffering, to exploit it for their own agenda. The same people who are so willing to carry Al Gore around on their shoulders now as some new messiah, slandered him. They have the same blood on their hands that those who voted for Bush do, and for the same reasons they are little more than sheeple.
The netroots are not grassroots, they are an elitist, top down group of fascists in waiting, and if we end up with another right winger in the white house, you will have those same nutroots to blame for it. Some of Howard Dean's most extremist supporters are actually Ron Paul supporters.. you people are the dregs mentally, absolutely incompetent and a waste of space.
