First, Glenn Greenwald, Amy Goodman, Jane Hamsher and other ardent civil libertarian bloggers and journalists were turned away from an AT&T fundraiser for alleged Blue Dog Dems who voted for the FISA immunity bill.
Raw Story gets one thing wrong, though.
Since 45 percent of Dems, including Herr Obama, voted for the FISA mutilation, either “Blue Dog” is a lot bigger than it claims, or Raw Story is itself biased in Democratic image protection. (I think it’s more the latter, IMO.)
Second, Obama’s chasing after moderate evangelical Christians has backfired in part of the gay world.
Gay media mogul Paul Colichman said he (and his big checkbook) won’t support Obama after Obama, at Rick Warren’s Saddleback church, explicitly said marriage is between a man and a woman.
Mogul, indeed. Colichman owns The Advocate and Out magazines. In addition to putting his checkbook back away, he could well start firing up his laptop computer for some op-ed commentary.
Whether he was once a Clinton supporter or not, Colichman gets the bottom line right:
“If we always vote for the lesser of two evils, if we accept their crumbs and platitudes, if we write checks to candidates who don't stand up for us, aren’t we being self-destructive?” he argues.
Yes, indeed. Vote Green!
Third, Passive Pelosi™ bullshitted all over Denver when she called herself a “lioness.”
Ask Dennis Kucinich where the “lioness” has been for 18 months of his impeachment push. Ask the Democratic 55 percenters who knew how to vote where she was on the FISA amendments bill. Ask the troops still in Iraq who haven’t been killed in the last 18 months where the lioness has been. Ask the ones that she and Obama want to send, stupidly, to Afghanistan, where the lioness will be.
