From the guy who sneeringly instructed his followers to "have some fun in Michigan" before the left began demanding legal action against Limbaugh for Operation Chaos - brownshirts, after all, will be brownshirts - this elegant exercise in doublethink:

When we were out of power, we organized to win the next election. Conservatives, apparently, prefer to talk "revolution" and kill cops.

Here's a post by Kos from 2006 celebrating "AFSCME's bottom-up revolution," which he takes credit for designing:

In Crashing the Gate, Jerome and I argue for the devolution of centralized power to the states, allowing local leaders who know their own lay of the land best to make important decisions... This list is straight out of Crashing the Gate -- decentralize, empower people at the local level, focus on growing the ranks of the labor movement, take a holistic approach to progressive politics, and fight 24/7/365.

Even if the title "Crashing the Gate" didn't already have an air of thuggish fantasizing, the section titled "Revolution and Reformation" - about how "progressive brothers and sisters" need to make common cause - would still kind of count as "talking revolution." Or do we file those pages away wherever we've filed "dissent is the highest form of patriotism?"

Anyway, here's Kos insisting that "no one gives a damn" about Ayers and here's a second post by him actually entitled "no one gives a crap about Ayers." And just for completion's sake here's a third one where he invites his horde to chortle along with him about same.

Ayers, of course, is a cop killer who not only talks about revolution but lectures about it from the front of taxpayer-subsidized classrooms.

That third link, incidentally, isn't as on point as the other two. But it does have the line "a generation of voters voting against their own interests because of bullshit social issues that affect them little." Such a delightful political movement they've incubated over there. (Photo: Pat Dollard)
