The Email

Kos has posted about the email threat and I wanted to share with you a few comments posted on his site about the matter.

Thirdparty: "Very unprofessional".

Kos: "I wasn't trying to be professional, obviously. This isn't a professional disagreement, it's a very personal one.
As for Darr "telling on me" to the FEC? Also unprofessional. Why wwould she do that? Because the disagreement, once again, isn't professional. It's personal".

propagandism: "Markos' response was fine, even-handed and professional. But what the hell was with that angry first letter? Do you honestly expect her not to be a little pissed? It was completely unprofessional and well below Markos' abilities and standards. I'd expect a threat e-mail from Markos to actually educate me on some important point I'd missed, or some vagary or nuance I'd overlooked. That e-mail sounded like nothing more than the threatening rant of your typical GooPer.

And beyond that, did you not expect a backlash? Did you think the e-mail would just disappear? We live in the information age people. You can't just throw out random threats and not expect them to come back and bite you in the ass later. There is always a record. Always.

Unlike the comments Dean is taking heat for in the press and from weak-kneed Dems, I think Markos e-mail was ill-conceived and will do more to damage his identity and credibility than it will to help it. Pray it doesn't do any damage to the issue".
