Excoriated if it came from a right blogger? Has he been reading right bloggers lately?
-
hey, on a daily basis, launch this sort of attack against Obama. They then link each other and have their little memeorandum circle jerk, and by the end of the day, the Politico is mainstreaming it so that the attacks are sure to be on the cable news that night or the next.
-
And this false separation between wingnut bloggers and the leadership of the GOP is odd- surely by now Sullivan must realize that there is no fundamental difference between the GOP and the wingnut bloggers. My god. The party is taking their cues from Sarah Palin’s facebook page, Karl Rove’s tweets, and Rush Limbaugh’s radio show
-
Show me a real split between what any Republican leader is saying, anything on the op-ed pages of the WSJ or the Examiner or the Moonie Times, and the smear du jour from the “right bloggers.” They are one and the same.
-
Cheney is just giving them their marching orders
-
Cheney utters it, the wingnuts blogs repeat it, multiple op-eds are issued from folks like Bolton, Peter Roff, and David Broder and dozens of others, and then we finally end up with the dithering charge fully mainstreamed, and the Washington Post then feels comfortable to do breezy analyses such as the following:
-
What worries me most is that Israel seems in the throes of conservative magical thinking. Each new disaster is treated in many quarters as “good news”, as a sign that “Israel is winning”. It reminds me a lot of how American conservatives think, with each new political setback advancing the overall cause of conservatism somehow. Luckily, in the United States, each new political setback for conservatives also limits conservative power and insulates the country from the dangers of conservative magical thinking. What is going on in Israel is very different.
-
There are no passionate, vocal groups of voters eagerly demanding that government be more solicitous of corporate interests and more willing to start wars overseas. There are not many large voting blocs requesting the offshoring of whole industries. To be a “centrist” is necessarily to champion the interests of concentrated power and wealth and to ignore and deride as “populist” insanity anything that stands in the way of those interests.
-
Insurgents always set themselves up as the independent outsiders who will stand up for the people against the establishment. Just imagine Bayh trying to sell himself as the establishmentarian who wants to tone down the “radicalism” of Obama’s Rubinite economics and his Clintonian hawkish foreign policy.
-
Despite the hissy fit about the small portion of Obama’s presser yesterday in which he chided his critics (and while I agree with what he said there, for the most part, I can’t help but wonder what he was thinking when he said it- you just knew it was going to infuriate the professional left)
-
What Lane proposes is that an old DLC-type Democrat will be positioned to win over a party that is increasingly disgusted by the overrepresentation of DLC-type Democrats in the current administration
-
most of his presser was about the Republican perfidy and how he has to make the best out of this bullshit the Republicans are causing
-
Let’s always remember who the problem is here. It isn’t Obama. It is the Republicans and spineless Democrats in congress and the worthless blue dogs. And where to begin with Mary Landrieu, who is so concerned about the budget she had a personal hold on Obama’s nominee for the OMB for months

What is the plan to get unemployment benefits extended for these millions of people? Ji
-
I think taxes need to go up to start paying for our wars, our roads, our elderly, and our medical care, along with all our debt. But what about unemployment benefits. What about stimulative spending? What about DADT and the other must pass bills? How do we get there from here?

From the comments, as good a description of the myopic Republican feedback loop as you will see:
-
I find this entirely in keeping with the central analytical failure of libertarianism as a worldview: a total and disqualifying inability to measure or account for power as it exists in the real world. W

A week or two back NPR gave some guy about three minutes to complain about how the climate community silenced his breakthrough research on snow patterns in the Sierra Nevada mountains. You see, most warming models predict that snowfall will eventually go up in the Sierra Nevadas. The guy (I forget his name) found that it didn’t. QED, global warming is wrong and he can prove it if only academia’s cruel gatekeepers would let his paper into a major journal. NPR then gave about one minute to a gatekeeper who pointed out that the result has already been published five times.

Science works fine in aggregate, but this idea that science must have only flawless people doing impeccable work is a strawman set up by the superstitious to discredit empiricism through nutpicking.

Galt’s Gulch and forty-six virgins in heaven motivate zealots precisely because they are part of larger, impractical, unworkable fantasies. A “democratic Osama bin Laden” is an oxymoron, because accepting democracy means accepting compromise, not flying a plane into a building—or refusing to raise raise the debt ceiling—to further some abstract cause.
