Sen. Russ Feingold is turning to the Internet for reactions to his most recent call to censure President Bush, proposed Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Shortly after the show, Feingold posted a diary entry on the left-leaning blog the Daily Kos, saying "The last time I posted on Daily Kos, it certainly generated a lot of interest. As always, I appreciate how honest and passionate the Daily Kos community is about the issues that matter, and even when we don't agree it was important to have the civil exchange that we did."
Daily Kos readers again took up that "civil exchange," flooding Feingold's entry with comments. As of 10 a.m. today, the entry had generated more than 1,000 comments to the senator, more than any other entry from the same time period on the site.
Feingold also explained in his entry the differences between last year's censure resolution and the two he plans to introduce in the Senate within the next few weeks. Unlike last year's resolution, which focused specifically on illegal wiretapping, Feingold said these two would be "broad resolutions," with the first focusing on the administration's handling of the war in Iraq and the second focusing on the "rule of law" at home, which would include last year's wiretapping charges..........
