I do believe DKos has been infiltrated by DLC members, or else Markos has had a Christopher Hitchens moment. The quality of discourse at that site has been in decline for quite some time; banning Chris Floyd because he dared to criticized the Democrats' utter cave-in over the Hayden vote is petty, at best. I thought liberals were the group who supported freedom of speech? Of course, DKos is a personal site, able to do whatever Markos decides, still a disappointing choice.
The Smirking Chimp - Chris Floyd banned from Daily Kos How odd, to dump Chris Floyd. Nobody would expect him of all people to be shy in his criticisms, and the rubberstamping of Hayden by both sides of the aisle was certainly worthy of Floyd's acid.
