Because I’ve got a video camera with her name on it.
The question, raised by Nate Silver and others: Is Firedoglake trying to scare vulnerable Democrats into retirement in order to kill health care reform? All indications point to ?yes.? I?m hearing that FDL will conduct more polls in vulnerable Democratic districts, based largely on this chart of the ?top 20 Democrats who could lose their seat over health care vote[s]. Snyder was at the top of that list, posted by FDL?s Jane Hamsher on Jan. 6. (One irony: Snyder is a fairly progressive member of Congress, and [...]
Full Story... →Wow.
When asked what the bill would have to contain to get his support when it came out of a House-Senate conference committee for a final vote, he wouldn’t answer. When asked why Medina County Democrats should continue to trust him, he didn’t have an answer. He repeatedly told us how he was sacrificing time with his family to meet with us on a Sunday afternoon, even though he had chosen the date and the time. In short, he was defensive, evasive, and condescending.
Full Story... →If you get banned from DailyKos for calling out painfully obvious self-promotional Glenn Beck biz model media whoring by Cenk Uygur and Jane Hamsher weeks?before everyone else notices, can you get un-banned? ?Just askin.
Full Story... →Great post-banning comment after the jump.
Full Story... →Proving that no good deed goes unpunished in Kos-land, I posted this diary today, and got flamed like a champ.
Ok, so I wrote a diary with a lot of invective in it against Jane Hamsher. ?I apologize to this community for the invective. ?I do not apologize to Jane Hamsher. ?Here’s why.
Full Story... →Like the Kos diarist who called this to my attention, I didn’t know much about Jane Hamsher until she started getting paid to advocate for the public option. ?I never even read her blog, Firedoglake. ?I had barely come across her in 2008 as yet another whiny blogger complaining that the Obama campaign wasn’t advertising on her website. ?Called her out on it during the general. ?Called her out on her thinly veiled blackmail threat last summer. ?Told her to blow me once. ?Good times.
So it’s no surprise to me that Hamsher is now advocating [...]
Full Story... →And with this, I am now quite certain the health care bill will pass.
Full Story... →Just posted this diary at Kos.
I’m liking the fact that Markos is getting some exposure on Meet the Press today, because I like that political pressure is coming from the left in a way it never did before Markos began this site. ?However….
There’s a reason why Joe Scarborough had that smile on his face, laughing all the way to the Republican bank as he was surrounded by [...]
Full Story... →Just posted this diary at Kos.
I’m trying to follow the rules here, which say I’m not allowed to call out users by name in a diary title. ?So I didn’t.
But I’m getting sick and tired of Cenk Uygur wandering along every time something happens in a media cycle that gives him the opportunity to poke Barack Obama like some RedState neanderthal having a Tourette’s moment.
And that includes gratuitously calling in to the BBC’s World [...]
Full Story... →I posted this last night in a diary.
I just finished watching Olbermann and Rachel, their thorough demolishing of the sorry human being who is Joe Lieberman, and just had to put this down.
I was one of the people most loudly objecting to the Ned Lamont campaign to primary Joe Lieberman. ?At the time, I felt it was counterproductive. ?At the time, regrettably, I was supporting the Iraq war. ?And at the time, I thought Joe Lieberman would [...]
Full Story... →I cut my political teeth as a campus coordinator for Dennis Kucinich’s quixotic primary challenge to Mary Rose Oakar in 1988.? He lost 75-25.? There were like 4 people at the election night party, two of whom were me and my fellow CSU student intern friend.? It was one of the earliest formative experiences of my political career.? I spent a lot of time around Dennis, and those close to him.? Dennis has been my congressman for most of the years he’s been in Congress.? He was my mayor when I was a kid.
So I know what kind of [...]
