In my last diary, I explored some of the vicious racist sentiments that Rep. Ron Paul has expressed in the past to demonstrate why no self-respecting liberal should be caught dead saying nice things about him, let alone supporting him. This time, let's turn our attention from Paul's words to his actions, and see how the congressman from Texas has, for the past quarter century, systematically built a support network for himself among the worst far-right crackpots, racists, and neo-Nazis in America.

As tonight's Republican presidential debate winds down, I expect to see the diaries humming with praise for Texas Rep. Ron Paul, whose forceful, eloquent anti-war rhetoric sticks out like a sore thumb from the undifferentiated conservative yammerings of the other candidates. The Simi Valley debate earlier this month was many Kossacks' first exposure to Paul, and many of them liked what they saw. Before any other well-meaning liberals decide that we and Ron Paul were made for each other, I think it's important that we dig a bit deeper and learn more about exactly who, and what, he is: a vicious, contemptible racist who comforts the radical right wing like no presidential candidate since David Duke.

We need jump to no conclusion to arrive at this judgment. His own words convict him.

Throughout American history, statesmen and philosophers and people smarter than I have spilt much ink in an effort to define just what it means to be a liberal. I don't know who's right and who's wrong, but I do know those statesmen and philosophers are all schmucks. This is the 21st century, and in the 21st century what better way do we have to define what liberalism is than through the consumer products we choose to purchase? For this reason, I've decided to use my diary today to reflect on a very special product, which I feel comes closest to encapsulating the political philosophy that brings Kossacks together: the Krups FDH212-76 Rice Cooker.

It's the day you've been waiting for, patriots! Today marks the debut of the fifth and final chapter of The War of the Words: The Story of the 101st Fighting Keyboarders, the groundbreaking documentary series that honors the true heroes of the war in Iraq: the conservative bloggers, pundits, and commentators who've kept the home fires burning in the face of opposition from liberals and other traitors.

In Part IV, "Democracy Threatens," we followed the grueling 2004 campaign season from its beginnings in the cornfields of Iowa to the landslide 50.7% victory of President George W. Bush. Now, in Part V, we catch up on the activities of the 101st Fighting Keyboarders from Election Night to the present day, as they help their President fend off Cindy Sheehan's Siege of Crawford and hunker down in the face of yet another election.

We continue our long, hard slog today with Part IV of The War of the Words: The Story of the 101st Fighting Keyboarders, the historic five-part documentary series about those brave homefront conservatives who fought the battle of opinion during the war in Iraq. Thus far, we've seen them beat the drums for war, cheerlead the invasion, and fume as everything gradually turned to shit. Now, in Part IV, the 101st Fighting Keyboarders face their greatest challenge yet: a presidential election.

Good morning, patriots! It's Thursday, which means it's time for another episode of The War of the Words: The Story of the 101st Fighting Keyboarders, the historic 5-part documentary honoring the true heroes of the war in Iraq: the conservative bloggers, pundits, and commentators who've kept the home fires burning in the face of opposition from liberals and other traitors.

Part I, The Drums of War, examined the Keyboarders' role in building support for the war. Part II, Mission Accomplished, covered their triumph and joy during the invasion of Iraq. Now, in Part III, we witness a dark period in the 101st Fighting Keyboarders' struggle, as they learn that occupying a country is not the same thing as invading it.

Welcome back, patriots, to Part II of The War of the Words: The Story of the 101st Fighting Keyboarders, the historic 5-part documentary honoring the true heroes of the war in Iraq: the conservative bloggers, pundits, and commentators who've kept the home fires burning in the face of opposition from liberals and other traitors.

Part I examined the role the 101st Fighting Keyboarders played in building support for the war during late 2002 and early 2003. Now, in Part II, we learn about the role they played during the invasion and occupation of Iraq: while American troops braved the tanks and guns of Saddam's defense forces in Iraq, the Keyboarders played an equally important role at home, using their bellicose rhetoric to create a crucial bulwark of support for their President. It would come to be known as their finest hour.

Every American knows of the sacrifices our fighting men and women have made during the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Yet there is another group whose contributions to the war effort have gone largely unnoticed... until now. I am proud to invite Daily Kos readers to the worldwide premiere of Part I of the new 5-part documentary, The War of the Words: The Story of the 101st Fighting Keyboarders.

Regardless of how one feels about the war in Iraq, it seems, everyone agrees that the men and women of our armed forces deserve our praise and gratitude for selflessly placing themselves in harm's way in a dangerous land. Yet there is another group of Americans who have been crucial to our success in the war, who deserve our thanks as well. You may know some of their names: Glenn Reynolds. Michelle Malkin. Jeff Goldstein. Robert Novak. Ann Coulter. But there are countless others, some known only to God. Theirs is a story of courage, determination, and above all, typing. They are the conservative bloggers, pundits, and commentators whose loud and prolific support of Republican foreign policy goals helped change the course of American history in ways that will be felt for many years to come.

They are the men and women--mostly men--who have come to be known as the 101st Fighting Keyboarders. And now, at last, their story can be told.
