The professional left...

[firedupdem]

Arianna, Hamsher, Moore...

All running anti Obama sites. Gibbs was so right. These people are in it for the money. Moore really surprised me, he had me fooled. 8yrs of deregulation, wars, tax cuts for the rich, and they sell out this administration in less than 2yrs. The thing that bothers me most, is that the MSM picks up their crap because they have big mouths, and runs the story that ALL Democrats are unhappy with the administration. These people are nothing but slicksters.

Now Moore is calling Secretary Gates, and General Petraeus sissies because they spoke out against that nutjob Jones. No mention of how the media drummed up the story until it put our troops in serious danger. Just calls them out for telling the nutjob not to burn the Muslim holy book. Damn Shame.

1. The story was already heating up in the middle east before Americans were even aware of it

That is why Petreaus commented.

I am sorry, but if Micheal joins in for the money, well I am becoming disillusioned. I have to think about this for a while.

Someone finally explained to me what was meant by professional left..

EDIT TO ADD:

I have no problem with people making money even commentators and blog journalists. Just be honest, that you are running a commentary site, not a news site.

That way people will not feel used.

2. Yup....here are excerpts from an email about his open mike

blog. Of course he's just holding the presidents feet to the fire. :eyes:

I'm calling it OpenMike, and I'd love for you to make a habit of checking it out every day -- and posting your own comments for the President and the voting public to see. Very soon we'll have some live chats and some other new additions to my site (like an uncensored "Ask Me ANYTHING FAQ," and some little daily subversive missions I'll send you on). Foreign visitors who are scared sh*tless that the bad old days are coming back are also welcome to join in.

Here are the first two days of my new blog (from Monday and Wednesday). I've reprinted Wednesday's below in full. Monday's has language I, um, never use, but I got inspired by Rahm Emanuel and I wanted him to read it (so I had to speak in his tongue). Some teens (and younger) may have parents who won't want them to read it, so kids, check with mom and dad as you always do.

I am so sincerely disappointed at how Obama and the Dems have blown much of the first 20 months of holding absolute power. (This is not to say they haven't done a lot of good, but stop any five people on the street and ask them to name the "great accomplishments" of Obama's first term and watch what happens.) The administration's bend-over-backwards, can't-we-all-get-along attitude may win them points at a 4-H Club fair, but their opponents are ruthless cutthroats and have rammed our good country right down the toilet -- and they want to be back in power so they can continue the final flush of everything we used to have and stood for. This likely debacle is less than 8 weeks away.

But it doesn't have to happen. Obama's speech Wednesday -- click here -- was awesome and showed the balls we've been waiting to see since January 2009. Do the Democrats deserve what they're about to get? Absolutely. But we don't. We'll be the ones who will have to suffer; they'll all have cushy lobbying jobs. So do we now have to save them from themselves? How much longer will we have to play this stupid charade? Or do we just let them crash and burn and then start something new out of their wreckage?

I believe our first African-American president deserves a couple more years to try to get it right. After all, he didn't create the disasters he inherited. I think someone's just got to light a fire under him. So I'll strike my match every day on this new blog. And I invite you to join me and do the same.

3. Yep I caught those in an op up in GD I think

I have not gone over there yet.. I have a hard enough time keeping up with DU :)

But I will have to peek in just to get myself up to speed so I know what people are talking about.

4. Daily Kos got it right with this great quote

"If anyone peddles stupidity trying to dampen progressive opposition to Republican rule, they're not on your side."

8. They have stupid lies and 1/2 truths and they're on

the side that opens their coffers to watch that money rollin' in..with eyes poppin' and mouth a droolin'.

5. Looks like it has become fashionable to trash the President for those

who knew exactly who Gibbs meant when he spoke of the 'professional left'. They are living up to their label and it's pathetic. I thought sheeple only ran on the right.

It's easy to sit back and criticize constantly, there is no risk in that. What I find is that they remind me of the fencers, those who are too afraid to go against the wave and therefore will not have to be responsible if it's wrong.

They are wrong, and they are in the herd mentality following the leaderless over the cliff. When they wake up, it will be too late. They aren't holding the President's feet to the fire, they are dancing around a virtual cess pool they have created. It makes me wonder, what's in it for them?

9. jaxx, you have brilliantly captured the core

of the professional leftists.

11. I don't think I've ever heard it up summed up quite so succinctly.

:thumbsup:

6. Fast becoming Unprofessional Left Money Changers n/t

7. I hadn't heard about his latest idiocy..

Don't bother to get your facts, Michael Moore, because that's how the professional leftists do it.

Have fun with that loser's club to stunt America.. you got goin' on..

He's found his way to satisfy his attentionwhore monster..run your stupid mouth off about President Obama and his Admin and the mediaasswhores will suck you up.

10. He's really hungry for attention.

I understand Gibbs frustration with these guys. And if and when the repubs take control again, I will not be on their bandwagon. They are really trying to undermine the success of this administration feeding the MSM and the rightwingers this kind of garbage. Peacetrain's OP in GDP about building a mosque on ground zero, is another example of how these guys spout bullshit just to get their names in the news.
