Mark Udall is a liberal?  A LIBERAL? Oh my gosh…  Wow… this is news to me…

Apparently Bob Schaffer is convinced that calling Udall a Boulder liberal is his ticket to the Senate.  This from his press release: 

(Jason Bane over at state38 has taken the liberty of highlighting every appearance of the word “liberal”)

Boulder liberal Mark Udall is supposed to be in Colorado this week for a Congressional “district work period.” But, apparently Udall would prefer to have more fun than do more work. Today, Udall is scheduled to be feted at a party with the liberalist of Democrats in San Francisco. Considering Mark Udall is already too liberal for Colorado, it seems fitting.The event, organized by ultra liberal blogger Markos Moulitsas of the liberal blog ‘Daily Kos’, is scheduled to take place at a bar in San Francisco.

Moulitsas, or Kos, as he refers to himself:  

   * Has been called a “leading liberal blogger” by Slate Magazine. (Torie Bosch, “WMD? Really?” Slate, 6/22/06)

   * And the “most vile of the angry left bloggers.” (Donald Luskin, “America’s Looniest Liberal Pundit,” National Review, 9/26/05)

   * He even denounced four American contractors who were mutilated by terrorists in Fallujah, Iraq: Moulitsas: “I feel nothing over the death of mercenaries … Screw them.” (Matthew Klam, Op-Ed, “Fear And Laptops On The Campaign Trai–,” The New York Times, 9/26/04)

         o Then he said he did not regret his remarks — ABC’s Jake Tapper: “Do you have any regrets writing that?” Markos Moulitsas: “Absolutely not. The blogs are a raw, emotional medium. And they are what they are. And they’re not measured conversation. They’re not edited. They’re raw.” (ABC’s “Nightline,” 7/24/06)

And, according to Newsweek, “[M]oulitsas … chats with Senate leadership aides several times a week and has brainstormed with Democratic operatives about the fall campaign …” (Jonathan Darman, “The War’s Left Front,” Newsweek, 7/3/06)

“How is Boulder liberal Mark Udall spending his district working period,” NRSC Communications Director Rebecca Fisher asked. “Sipping Pouilly Fuisse in San Francisco with the angriest of liberals. How does that help Colorado?”

Wow… I think Bob Schaffer’s press people are geniuses… *cough, cough*

By the way Bob… quit picking on Markos, you conservative conservativalist!
