Markos Moulitsas 1993 Letter to Editor Opposing ALL Gay Military Service is Missing, Again

Many of us have read the 1993 letter that Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga posted in his college newspaper, opposing ALL gay service in the military. We have also noticed that the URL for the article has changed five times or more since it was first reprinted here at Truth About Kos. These changes in the URL make it more difficult for members of the public to read what MAMZ said when he was a college newspaper writer. These changed URL's breaks our links to the article and lead to an "Unsupported Media" notice at the Northern University's Northern Star student newspaper.

Ironically, the article in which a woman student and former servicewoman challenges MAMZs "bad attitude" can still be found at the same URL as before.

Is someone at the Northern Start student newspaper, or even someone substantially more powerful, constantly changing the address of MAMZ's anti-gay article so that the public will not be able to read it? If so, it remains available in a screenshot at Truth About Kos, as well as in dozens of other blogs that couldn't help but highlight the duplicity of MAMZ's homophobia versus his facile and relatively new endeavor to seem "progressive". Compare his 1993 letter to the editor with what has come after it, and see which reflects the REAL MAMZ, if any of his writings really do.

Go to the newspaper's archives and search for Moulitsas and you may still be able to read his embarrassing articles, including the on in which MAMZ Denies Being Latino in Spite of "ZÚÑIGA" Maternal Surname.

A blog called "Links to MAMZ's College Newspaper Articles" once had functioning links to all of MAMZ college articles, but now includes only the names, summaries and broken links, because, for some reason, the URL's of these articles change over and over again. Is it possible that someone is assisting MAMZ in making it more difficult to read these articles, some of which are frankly embarrassing?

Links to MAMZ's College Newspaper Articles, with helpful annotations.

You may find that, once again, the links to his articles don't work and you have to search for the articles at the Northern Star by searching for the target word, "Moulitsas."

If a Link Here Doesn't Work . . .

If a link doesn't work, be patient. Look for an updated link in the articles below, use the search function in the top left, and/or look to this list of all but one of the articles written by Markos C. A. Moulitsas Zúñiga (MAMZ) when he was at Northern Illinois University (NIU), writing extreme right-wing letters to the editor. Interestingly, the one known missing article still is not in the archives although it was faxed to me by Northern Star staff and republished here. That article was the first in a series of five articles about "racism", four of which were assigned tasks and described the "racism" and religious persecution problems on campus based on interviews.

In the fifth article, which was not commissioned, MAMZ declared that, having completed the obligatory four articles, the fifth article would announced his intention to withdraw again into "detached selfishness", grateful that he was not one of "them", "whose skin color or religious persuassion (sic) made them the target of bigotry and discrimination. They would never be able to escape who they were."

This is MAMZ announcement that he is NOT a Latino, but is a white man, and he underlines this today by insisting that it is improper to address him using his mother's Latino name, "Zúñiga".

In looking for the MAMZ's student newspaper articles, remember that the NIU student newspaper, the Northern Star, has changed the Internet addresses of these articles three times [now four times as of 9/2010] in last 30 months, making all old links obsolete and sometimes making all of the articles temporarily unavailable.

Atty. Francis L. Holland in the Media

Washington Post quotes
Francis L. Holland slamming DNCC for all-white state blogs corps:
"Francis L. Holland, one of the vocal black bloggers, sent e-mails to DNC officials asking that 15 black-operated blogs be added to the State Corps. "There is nothing 'Democratic' about an all-white Democratic National Convention floor blogging corps," he wrote in an e-mail. Holland is also asking for the inclusion of 15 Latino-operated blogs."
Slate.com quotes Francis L. Holland regarding John Edwards' decision to endorse Senator Barack Obama for President:
"Or, as Obama supporter Francis L. Holland puts it: "So, it shows tremendous courage, foresight and solidarity that Edwards has endorsed Obama after the media declared Hillary's campaign to be as good as dead, right? Oh, well! Better late than never!"
BlackEnterprise.Com quotes Francis L. Holland:
"Of the blogs covering the convention, black blogs will be 7.2% of the blogs present,” says Francis L. Holland of the Afrosphere Action Coalition. According to Holland, many states with a strong black Democratic presence and population are either underrepresented or not represented at all, even though black bloggers from these states did apply. “The state of Tennessee, which often has over 25% blacks among its Democratic primary voters, will not have a single black blogger at the Democratic National Convention, for example. The District of Columbia, which is 60% black, will be left out. Louisiana, which is 32.4% black, will be left out. Illinois, the presidential nominee’s home state, which is 15% black, will be left out.”
Pew Project for Excellence in Journalism cites Francis L. Holland:

In 2008, the Democratic "party came under fire from African American bloggers. Francis L. Holland of the Afrosphere Action Coalition, complained to Black Enterprise magazine that black blogs only made up slightly more than 7% of the bloggers credentialed for the convention."
Francis L. Holland Blog in the
Washington Post:
"We are tired of Hillary Clinton telling America that we are less than American simply because we refuse to vote for her," said Francis L. Holland, an African American blogger." Ironically, the Clintons embraced us, and even embraced Pastor Jeremiah Wright for support during their impeachment scandal." Holland was speaking of the congressional trial that followed former president Bill Clinton's liaison with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. "She has forfeited the black vote for the foreseeable future with her color aroused appeals."
Francis L. Holland Blog in Dallas Morning News:
“November’s voter turnout depends on August’s blogger outreach,” said Mr. Holland of the Afrosphere Action Coalition., a member of a national and international black bloggers’ coalition called “The AfroSpear.” “Blogs address constituencies, and it simply is not possible for blogs that are all-white to effectively reach diverse Democratic constituencies.”
Francis L. Holland Blog in Black Enterprise Magazine:
"Of the blogs covering the convention, black blogs will be 7.2% of the blogs present," says Francis L. Holland of the Afrosphere Action Coalition. According to Holland, many states with a strong black Democratic presence and population are either underrepresented or not represented at all, even though black bloggers from these states did apply. “The state of Tennessee, which often has over 25% blacks among its Democratic primary voters, will not have a single black blogger at the Democratic National Convention, for example. The District of Columbia, which is 60% black, will be left out. Louisiana, which is 32.4% black, will be left out. Illinois, the presidential nominee's home state, which is 15% black, will be left out."
Pacifica Radio's Election Unspun June 23: Black Bloggers and Black Power, interviews Francis L. Holland:

"Francis Holland is a blogger from Afrospear, a national group of bloggers that advocates for African-Americans. When he looked at the list of State Bloggers, he saw no black blogs among them. Holland explains that the process the Democratic Convention planners used to choose the State Blogger Corps was bound to lead to this result. And he argues that the Democratic Party can scarcely afford to alienate black voters in this election year." (The original link no longer works, which is becoming a growing documentation problem on the Internet.)
The American Prospect quoted Francis L. Holland explaining why Blacks and women would not support John Edwards in 2008:
"Electing Edwards to challenge the status quo is like supporting a queen to challenge the monarchy or integrating an all-white club by adding more all-white club members. It is possible that electing yet another white man to the Presidency will end the poverty of the historically disenfranchised, with John Edwards serving as a "pass through" for those who have historically been disincluded legally and by custom. But this is a very convoluted way of achieving what could be achieved much more directly by electing Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. ..."
Huffington Post published Francis L. Holland's articles.
