"Markos Moulitsas Zúñiga was born in Chicago, Illinois to a Salvadoran mother and Greek father. He moved with his family to El Salvador in 1976, but later returned to the Chicago area in 1980 after his family fled threats placed on their lives by communist insurgents during the Salvadoran Civil War.[1] As an adult, he has recounted his memories of the civil war, including an incident that occurred when he was 8 years old, in which he saw communist guerrillas executing students who had been accused of collaborating with the government.[3]

"After graduating from Schaumburg High School in Schaumburg, Illinois,[4] he served in the U.S. Army from 1989 through 1992. He completed training at Ft. Sill in Oklahoma and fulfilled his three-year enlistment as a Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Fire Direction Specialist while stationed in Bamberg, Germany.[1] By his own account, he "missed deploying to the Gulf War by a hair." Moulitsas has described the Army as "perhaps the ideal society – we worked hard but the Army took care of us in return."[5]

"Prior to enlisting in the Army, Moulitsas was a member of the Republican Party. During the 1988 presidential election, he served as a Republican precinct captain and assisted with the re-election campaign of Illinois Congressman Henry Hyde.[5] However, during his time in the military Moulitsas began a transition in his political philosophy that would lead him to change his party affiliation from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party.[1]

"After leaving the army, he attended Northern Illinois University and graduated in 1996 with two bachelor degrees, majoring in philosophy, journalism, and political science.[6][7] While attending NIU, he wrote for the college newspaper The Northern Star and became its editor-in-chief in 1995. As a writer, he questioned NIU's policy of spending student fee money on athletic programs, generating a negative response from school officials, and also waged an unsucessful campaign to save the school's journalism program. In 2007, he was inducted into the Northern Star Hall of Fame, an honor bestowed by the newspaper's alumni association.[6] He later attended the Boston University School of Law from 1996 to 1999, earning a J.D. degree.[7]

"Moluitsas describes himself as a recovering Catholic, and says that while he has many problems with the Church, Salvadorian martyr and archbishop Oscar Romero is still his greatest hero and inspiration.[8]

"After graduating from law school, Moulitsas moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he worked as a project manager at a web development shop. He founded Daily Kos in May 2002, and has managed the blog as a full-time occupation since early 2004.[1]
[edit] Growth and controversy

"Since its creation Daily Kos has grown to become the largest progressive community blog in the United States, with over 215,000 registered users and 2.5 million unique viewers per month as of August 2009.[9] The blog's popularity has attracted the attention of many Democratic senators, congressmen, governors and candidates who have posted on the site, including Senators John Kerry[10] and Barbara Boxer,[11] Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,[12] Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi,[13] former President Jimmy Carter,[14] and President Barack Obama.[15]

"Daily Kos has also spawned an annual conference. The inaugural YearlyKos was held from June 8 to June 11, 2006, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Guests included Harry Reid,[16] Virginia Governor Mark Warner,[17] and Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean.[18] The conference has since been renamed Netroots Nation.

"Moulitsas attended the California State Democratic convention in Sacramento in March, 2003 with Jerome Armstrong of MyDD. According to Glenn Reynolds, founder of the conservative blog Instapundit, he and they may have been the first bloggers to be officially accredited at a political convention.[citation needed]
[edit] Blackwater controversy

"In April 2004, Moulitsas and Daily Kos became the focus of controversy over a statement that he posted in the comments section of a blog post about non-US military Blackwater USA employees who were killed and mutilated in Fallujah:

" "Let the people see what war is like. This isn't an Xbox game. There are real repercussions to Bush's folly. That said, I feel nothing over the death of merceneries. [sic] They aren't in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them."[19]

"In a blog post the next day, Moulitsas defended and clarified his remarks:

" "My language was harsh, and, in reality, not true. Fact is, I did feel something. That's why I was so angry. I was angry that five soldiers — the real heroes in my mind — were killed the same day and got far lower billing in the newscasts. I was angry that 51 American soldiers paid the ultimate price for Bush's folly in Iraq in March alone. I was angry that these mercenaries make more in a day than our brave men and women in uniform make in an entire month. I was angry that the US is funding private armies, paying them $30,000 per soldier, per month, while the Bush administration tries to cut our soldiers' hazard pay.[20] I was angry that these mercenaries would leave their wives and children behind to enter a war zone on their own violition. So I struck back."[3]

"[edit] Remarks about Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign

"On March 17, 2008, Moulitsas stated that Senator Hillary Clinton, who was then involved in a protracted race against Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination, "doesn't deserve fairness on this site" because she "fails the test of the guiding principles of this site" and because Clinton had "no reasonable chance of victory". He accused her of "fomenting civil war in order to overturn the will of the Democratic electorate" and said Clinton's "only path to victory [...] is via coup by super delegate."[21] His statement was precipitated by a "strike" conducted by several pro-Clinton diarists, even though none of these posters were paid or in any way officially linked to the site.[22] Moulitsas responded directly to the "strike" by saying that it was more like a "boycott", noting that "It's a big Internet, so I hope they find what they're looking for."[23]""

Why anyone reads the DailyKos, quotes this person or print his articles in their magazine is beyond me.

Guess what idiot? I am "brown skinned and I am against ILLEGAL immigration; so let me explain: it's all about being here ILLEGALLY stupid!

I have faced to worst discrimination being Native, people assume you are lazy and drunk, not to mention inbred and dumb. So I like to think that I look at what's inside of a person before I see skin color. But when your ENTIRE existence is based on breaking laws and dishonesty, sorry there is no excuse for you.
