Citizen Radio interviews Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas
Citizen Radio had the great privilege of interviewing Daily Kos founder, Markos Moulitsas, at this year’s Netroots Nation. Topics of discussion include his little spat with MSNBC anchor, Joe Scarborough, which led to Markos being banished from the network. We also asked him about his military service, and conversion from Republican to Democrat.
Listen to the interview here.
Markos is the author of the excellent book, American Taliban, which you should totally read.
“We all agree with the Taliban.”—Rush Limbaugh, October 9, 2009
America’s primary international enemy—Islamic radicalism—insists on government by theocracy, curtails civil liberties, embraces torture, represses women, wants to eradicate homosexuals from society, and insists on the use of force over diplomacy. Remind you of a certain American political party? In American Taliban, Markos Moulitsas pulls no punches as he compares how the Republican Party and Islamic radicals maintain similar worldviews and tactics. Moutlitsas also challenges the media, fellow progressives, and our elected officials to call the radical right on their jihadist tactics more forcefully for the good of our nation and safety of all citizens.
You should also follow him on Twitter as he continues to torment former Republican politicians-turned-television personalities.
