It’s interesting to watch a situation unfold where DailyKOS, the left’s web based champion of freedom and democracy, is apparently trying to hide revealing information on one of its own… Bill Foster.

Within hours of a majorityap.com report that a DailyKos user had posted court records from the contentious divorce proceedings of Illinois millionaire Bill Foster, the link was deleted.

Foster is the Democrat candidate in the race to succeed former House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert. A special election will be held Saturday, March 8, to fill the remainder of Hastert’s term.

Yep, DailyKOS is for transparency and open public records when it is a Republican taking the heat. But if it’s a wealthy Democrat they’ll do whatever it takes to minimize political damage.

I can understand the desire to promote your party, but why protect a guy who doesn’t vote in most cases and has a shady personal life?

Foster is a first-time office seeker who has moved in and out of the district, and has rarely voted in general elections. Foster did not vote in 2006 – the last Congressional election – when Laesch was a candidate.

Foster’s divorce records include several embarrassing, and potentially damaging, revelations. Among them, Foster’s then-wife Ann claimed under oath that the millionaire politician “pushed, shoved and caused physical abuse and emotional harm…putting her in fear for herself (and the couple’s) minor children.”

Why on earth would the left want to protect and embrace this kind of ilk? I just don’t get it.
