Sen Clinton wants a cease fire? Read what the DLC has to say

[chaumont58]

I took this from Atrios' site:

Other blogs noted that the day Clinton was calling for a truce, one DLC-sponsored blog was writing disparagingly of liberals. Marshall Wittman wrote from the DLC meeting in Columbus, "While someone from the daily kosy (misspelling intended) confines of Beserkely might utter ominous McCarthyite warnings about the 'enemy within,' here in Columbus constructive committed crusaders for progressivism are discussing ways to win back the hearts of the heartland."

the daily kosy? Beserkely? These people belong to the same Democratic Party that I do? In fuckin' credible!

2. Is the blog controlled by the DLC...

Or can anyone registered post...like Kos and the others..

If it's the latter I'm not sure the DLC can be blamed for the content..

I don't know who Marshall Wittman is...is he a DLC official ?

Hillary Clinton: Outflanking Bush from the Right

By JOSHUA FRANK

Senator Hillary Clinton, a likely 2008 presidential candidate, called for a "cease fire" within the Democratic Party as she accepted a leadership post with the Democratic Leadership Council on July 25.

The DLC was greatly responsible for her husband's rise to power in the early 1990s, and Hillary's new position within the right-wing organization is a sure sign the New York Senator wants to see the Democrats move further right. Hillary is apparently attempting to build a conservative base for a potential presidential bid in 2008.http://www.counterpunch.org/frank07262005.html

5. Worse than just building a Power Base.

She outright said the the DLC was going to set the agenda for the Democratic party for the next 4 years. There was NO representation from the other sects of the Democratic Party at the DLCs Convention.

The scary part is, the DLC has been able to set the agenda for the Democratic Party in the last 2 elections. The early signs are that the DLC Agenda for the democratic Party is: MOVE FURTHER TO THE RIGHT. NUZZLE RIGHT UP TO THE FANATICAL REPUBLICANS ASS UNTIL NO LIGHT SHINES THROUGH THE CRACK.

6. Marshall Wittman is the second worst of the DLC'ers.

Only PNAC treasonist Will Marshall is worse. Wittman's resume contains just about every right wing extremist hate organization on the planet, and probably a few in Hell.

If that piece of shit is a Democrat, I'm John Fitzgerald Kennedy. :grr:

7. and people are defending the dlc. like this is going to work?

this is going to get bush out.

makes me want to walk away, and i hate when people say that

8. hypocritical, thin-skinned

Not sure what. This is nothing compared to what people write about centrists. And some may be surprised, but alot of Democrats find Dailykos a cess pool to be avoided at all costs. Alot of DUers find GD a cess pool to be avoided too. Markos writes just as much garbage as Bull Moose Blog, it's rather hypocritical to feign shock and yet another phony call for unity, just because you disagree with two words written by a centrist blogger.
