Brilliant. Booman cites this reprehensible call to victim-hood, with apparent approval. The diary, entitled “We’re too busy criticizing ourselves to counter our critics,” is essentially a call to improve Democratic propaganda by accepting your proper role as the sap who will take the syrup on shit and call it pancakes, a disgusting exercise in reflexive blame. The call to lackey-dom reverberates of prior admissions of internalized guilt by the voting stooges: Isn’t it really our own fault that Barack Obama is a total sell-out? Sadly, well, it sort of is!
Thus spake Booman:
It seems to me that the progressive blogosphere is useful to the Democratic Party and liberal interest groups because it is a free source of media counterinformation to the crap the corporate media spews out on a 24-hour basis. But, the progressive blogosphere is actually more concerned with amplifying critiques of the Democrats because the Democrats are unwilling and unable to feed and tend to their base. So, we’re now more a part of the problem than we are part of the solution. Some people have a degree of self-awareness about this situation, but the majority do not. Yeah, it would be great if the Democrats were more willing and able to do the types of things we advocate, since most (but by no means all) of the advice we provide is solid. But since [Democrats are] not doing it, we’re just piling on and helping to demoralize the troops.
It’s not something I’m eager to associate myself with.
Because the Democrats suck shit out of an elephant’s ass, the resulting bad narrative surrounding them is our own damn fault!
Suckers: There’s one born every minute.
Or perhaps these aren’t your average flunkies: maybe they’re cognitive infiltrators. Fhtagn!

…. that will help them to get legislation passed.
Okee – dokee.
Tough to be a Dem political consultant these days.
of agent orange but also agent green too.
It is not the people in reality but it is those marketing think tanks of social engineered correctspeak, Newspeak if you will and it does come in red and blue flavors.
So the globalized totalitarian corporatocracy of Obama has been rejected. You think we are going back to Osama bin dead for seven years bin Laden and the magic flying boxcutter circus? Good God, Mark Dice was able to collect signatures to repeal the First Amendment in LA.
What are the most excellent lessons in this?
Obama has done a great job, his real job to accellerate the destruction of America.
His cabinet are all globalists, his agenda is globalist and that agenda is to wipe out the useless eaters of the major consumption society with the minority world population.
The reality is manufactured, think tanked down to talking points even a five year old can understand then strategically timed for release in the infotainment media/propaganda delivery system. What possible difference could corporate personhood and campaign contributions have when corporate manufactures the public opinions of both left and right in the first place.
Kos actually had good post today about this.
He takes on John Cole here, but the same argument can be applied to Booman or any other of Rahm’s Rangers who have accused Progressives of being traitors to the cause.
Funny how the “stab-in-the-back” meme is suddenly so prevalent among Dem establishment bloggers. One would almost think it was coordinated.
their board the ban you and smear you.
I just was.
I’m sure the feeling is mutual.
I’d love to know how these geniuses think that everything that’s wrong with the Democratic Party is just going to resolve itself if we would just shut up and never criticize them. Of course, it could be that, at least to a certain extent, they’re fine with how the party operates – or fails to.
… with the proposed domestic spending freeze.
Snork.
yawn.
figures they kick people off they disagree with, elitist fucks come in all kinds of packaging.
rmm.
you guys as I have a desire to wail on the idiot Booman problem. You will only enable me 🙂
