And Liberals, he despised them and said so often when he would jump into a thread and support the bullies, banned anyone who didn't bow down to them.
'Ponies, pet issues, all that lingo was common on DK. And when people reminded him he was dependent on their donations he told them 'I don't need your money' and stopped taking donations from members. Which caused people to ask him who was funding him blog, which got them banned.

He used to let the membership pick the FPers until he felt secure enough regarding the membership. Then just stopped doing that and picked them himself. Nearly all of them were part of the crowd that would attack liberals. So no surprise they would be pushing the party candidate.
He must have felt the loss of all those Liberals and minorities and women because now he's asking for donations again.
