Many of us have decided to donate to this candidate linked from Kos.
She is the only one targeted by the right wing sites with the courage not to remove her ad.

She is being targeted by this site among others. The others have all removed their ads. She has not. I am going to donate to her campaign. She survived the onslaught from sites like this:

1. We might want to check this out before dumping on Kos.
Was Dead "Civilian Contractor" Michael Teague
(of Blackwater, Fallujah)
the former Aryan Nations security chief?

I think we are still allowed to despise white supremacists.
And I am VERY sure that someone here will alert me if we are not.

But let us get our facts straight before we start shooting.
Is this the same Michael Teague?

16. Can't find it

Some of those "Private Military Company" employees have shown up with pretty bad records.

2. They all know that Kos drags in a lot of money for
the Democratic party. I feel sorry for the guy.

15. I sent each one of them a link to the site that is attacking them.
I told them they should have stood up for themselves.

5. Just donated and sent her an email why.
This means a lot to me. My husband and I became activists for several causes as we worked for Dean's campaign. One of the things that began to come naturally to me was to speak out for what I believed in.

I never did much of that before. I will continue to do so.
I am very upset over this tonight. More than I thought I would be.
The Democrats are doing just what that site tells them to do.

6. I agree this is McCarthy-esqe garbage....
Let's not forget that Bush/Cheney advertises on a website that labels fellow Americans traitors...

8. Here is a link.
www.dailykos.com

He said something controversial, and the right wing went after him. They have pressured Kerry and other Dems to unlink and remove ads.
It is a shame, as Markos has worked so hard for the Democrats. He and his bloggers have pulled in lots of donations.

What a shame.
