Our very own AWD is one of the new Dean Dozen!

[Demobrat]

Jeff Seemann, AKA Angry White Democrat, AKA AWD made the list. Go Jeff! He's running against a really rank wingnut for congressman from the 16th district in Ohio, so here's a link to his site if anybody feels like helping.

5. Great Article

In April, Kos's 32-year-old founder, Markos Moulitsas, posted some harsh words about the American contractors who were murdered, burned, and strung up on a bridge by insurgents in Fallujah. "I feel nothing over the death of mercenaries," Moulitsas wrote. "Screw them."

Right-wingers seized on the comments to demonize liberals as unpatriotic, and Democrats gave Kos the stiff arm. John Kerry's website denounced the intemperate remarks and removed a link to the blog. Other Democratic candidates pulled their ads from Kos.

Seemann stepped into the breach. He ponied up $400 to place an ad, and put out a press release explaining why: "It's his right to say it, and as a Democrat with a backbone, I'm not gonna be bullied."

For liberals accustomed to watching their candidates get slapped around by right-wing hit men like Matt Drudge, Seemann's words were as galvanizing as "I am Spartacus!" Within 24 hours, Seemann tripled his campaign war chest, thanks to $10,000 in online donations.

8. That's right! He refused to sit down and they threw him out.

Wasn't that it? That was in the days before Bush required loyalty oaths from his audience.
