Is Markos Moulitsas an Extremist?

A discussion at Bloggingheads:

Kos' forthcoming book is entitled "American Taliban." Here's how Kos describes it:

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m putting the finishing touches on my new book, American Taliban, which catalogues the ways in which modern-day conservatives share the same agenda as radical Jihadists in the Islamic world ...
Rich Lowry's criteria is that to attack the other side as equivalent to the Taliban makes you an extremist. So, that begs the question: What about those who criticize the Obama administration, which has given direct access to Jody Evans? The Code Pink Founder met with the Taliban in Afghanistan last November, and she's had direct access to the president? So even if we give the president credit for trying to do right in Afghanistan, his ties to Taliban enablers is deeply troubling.

Does that make me an extremist? It all depends on the evidence, I guess. See, "Jodie Evans is Barack Obama's Code Pink Liaison to Taliban Insurgents."

Kos has been an extremist for years. His comments about PMCs, as well as the lack of accountability for posts at his site, points towards something that isn't moderate.

I consider Markos Moulitsas to be a committed communist.

Given that hideous form of government's murderous and oppressive track record over much of the century just past, it doesn't get much more extremist than that.

If you read "The Indictment of Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA (MAMZ) by Justice and History (Updated with Additional Information and Counts)", which includes over 200 links to US Government, Salvadoran Government and MAMZ-family websites, you will conclude that MAMZ is a Salvadoran aristocratic CIA-trained infiltrator of the Left.

Did you hear the interview in which he acknowledged that he was at the CIA in 2002, when he started DailyKos?

I dislike MAMZ as much as you do but for much different reasons. It's not my habit to provide information to conservatives at conservative blogs, but you are unwittingly making MAMZ more powerful in Democratic and leftist circles than he otherwise would be, given his history and background.

If you read the links in the "Indictment" above, you will become thoroughly convinced that MAMZ is NOT a leftist, but is rather an infiltrator of the left.

Here are some facts from the "Indictment".

9). In fact, Mr. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA’s family owns a sumptuous and “exclusive” resort hotel and tourism conglomerate in El Salvador called the "Club Joya del Pacífico" (Club Jewel of the Pacific) a unit of which is the (Jaltepeque Suites Hotel).

10). Demonstrating his connection to these, what MAMZ has called "family business" interests, Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA invited his wife, friends and family to celebrate his honeymoon with him at the this Jaltepeque Suites Hotel . . .

11). Markos C.A. Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA ZÚÑIGA's "family business" actually received five million dollars in foreign investments between 1997 and 2000, immediately before the period in which MAMZ states that he sought work at the CIA because he was "underemployed, unemployed." Audiotape of 2006 Speech to the Commonwealth Club.

12). Carlos Alberto Delgado Zúñiga, the “family” member listed in government records as “manager” of the Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA’s hotel is also president of the “Junta Directiva” of the CÁMARA SALVADOREÑA DE TURISMO (CASATUR), the national tourism board of El Salvador, according to El Salvador's "La Prensa" newspaper.

[Open your eyes!]

13). Carlos Alberto Delgado Zúñiga, the man listed in public documents as the “manager” of the Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA’s Jaltepeque Suites Hotel, is also president of the “Junta Directiva” of the CÁMARA SALVADOREÑA DE TURISMO (CASATUR), the national tourism board of El Salvador. In addition, he is a member of the member of the “Junta Directiva” of the “Sistema de Integración de Centroamerica” (System for Integration of Central America).

Because of character limitations in Blogspot, I can't include the links that you will find in the "Indictment" listed above.

If you want to ruin MAMZ's reputation, then publish the CIA-trained facts about him among liberal circles. Liberals don't like CIA-trained leftists.
