so, if Democrats stop financially supporting Obama's campaign, and he has said that he won't accept public funding, aren't we cutting our own throats? I'm not wild about the move to the right, I think it is rather naive of him to think that it will succeed. He had a big margin on McStain and doesn't need to alienate his supporters chasing after people who won't vote for him anyway.
Oh, pardon me, Festival. It's an ideas festival. I have a few I'd like to offer. Like how about we fire people from columnist jobs when they're wrong about almost everything?

that's an excellent idea. I've been telling his campaign they're not getting anymore of my money until I'm convinced he's not Republican lite.
But I like the idea of sending the money someplace else. And letting them know exactly how much they didn't get.
Listen, me and WS here have found ourselves in a bit of a pickle. There's a mean, ugly giant Hutt named Jabba comng after us whose cigarettes I stole during a dominoes game a while ago. Anyway, he's sore about it and might be trolling/lurking around looking for us, as he figure I owe him, and he takes his "debts" way too seriously.
If one of you can hold down the Huttese, just pretend like your one of his boys if he shows up, and tell him we were here before, but it looks like we left now. That way he'll go away, and we'll be able to spend the 4th here with you.

Tom Friedman discovers Global Warming:
http://www.aspentimes.com/articl.../NEWS/
603282694
The New York Times columnist brought the Aspen crowd to its feet, as he often does, with a stirring speech on what’s at stake with global warming and the solutions possible through a “green revolution.”...
“The weather is going to get weird,” he said....
“We are the first generation of human beings that are going to have to think [like] Noah,” Friedman said. “Friends, we are now the flood. We have to build an ark.”...
After bumming out the capacity crowd of roughly 350 people, Friedman promised there is hope. He said he sees signs of revolution. Most people now acknowledge global warming, humans’ role in it and some are even taking action. He believes “out-greening” one another will become the norm between individuals, companies and even countries.
“Right now, we have a country full of green hobbyists,” he said....
Friedman’s outline of the global warming problems and solutions is the topic of his latest book. “Hot, Flat and Crowded — Why We Need a Green Revolution” is due out in September...
“The book is really about we’ve got a problem; the world’s got a problem,” Friedman said.
***or is he just selling a book? What a Huckster. Next Spring Thomas Friedman's new book - "Why Iraq Was the Wrong Choice (instead of iran) and Why We Need To Get Out Now."
What a tool.
conventional wisdom vs collective wisdom = village vs netroots.

Got company coming, but thought I'd play Atrios for a minute on this one.
Dead threaded rant:
Maybe its my own naivete, but I'm still hoping that what he's doing is purely defensive. Trying not to give McStain openings to attack him. And it really doesn't have anything to do with how he'll govern.
As many have noted, it has had the opposite effect each and every goddam time another goddamotherfucking Dem pundit adviser tells them to act like fucking republicans.
The GOP *does not run against Dems on issues* Why is that so hard to grasp for these assholes? They run against the person. And each and every one of our people then obligingly plays along, saying and doing the stupidest things their handlers can think up until they have alienated the people who liked them and convinced the people who didn't that they are yet another run of the mill, stand for nothing, wishy washy flip floppy mealy mouthed Dem.
And then McAnus doesn't look so bad. Whatever his many obvious flaws, he looks like the kinda guy who says what he thinks and won't back down from a fight, and hey that's what this country needs in such a dangerous world. Yup, a straight shooting maverick with an iron spine is looking pretty good.

I'm not saying I think its a good strategy. I think it sucks. And has been proven -- over and over and over and over and over -- TO NOT FUCKING WORK.

Via email, then a phone call to the support center, I told the Obama campaign I had removed my name from his mailing list, removed my "My Barak Obama" page, etc, and would not be donating another cent to his campaign because I was going to give my support and time to Blue America instead. I assured them that he'd get my vote, I still thought he was the best candidate available to me, but my admiration, blood, sweat and money were going to shore up the progressive cause around the areas where I felt the Senator was not being strong enough.
I don't think they cared much, but it made me feel better.

Agreed, though I note that my 70-y-o mother's immediate take on Obama was that he was being packaged and sold to Dems as "the guy" exactly as Kerry was and that he would turn out to look pretty much like he's looking at present.
The single biggest "hope" factor for me and I assume many others was that he was going to offer a very clear choice to the country by being as far from McAnus as possible on issue after issue on which the majority support our position. So his immediately trying to systematically erase distinction after distinction is both disappointing and infuriating.

JeffCo articulated what I've been thinking for a few days now. Ask 100 people about FISA and I bet not a one will know what's all about. All they'll know is that the prez has to be able to keep us safe against terrorism. Ditto with late term abortions. They're icky. People will vote the personality. But the base will pay the bills.
Maybe Obama is trying to get this all out of the way early enough so that the effects will be blunted by November.

I can disagree with your campaign strategy and still support you. But not if you're going to follow the exact same LOSING strategy that's kept Dems out of power for a generation.
that makes it very hard for me to see why I should exert myself. My choices are either to succeed -- and get repukkke light. Or fail -- and get the real thing.
I want to invest in this future -- why?
On the other hand -- his campaign thru the primaries didn't appear to be run by idiots. Those people are smart enough to know that what he's doing is going to lose hime a lot of progessive support -- and money. Which is why I think he's picked up enough of Hilary's donors that he thinks he doesn't need us anymore.

Besides being on a comedy role today you are on an insight roll (open sesame seed roll?)
Just curious, has anyone here ever actually met or worked with some of the advisors/handlers that we are complaining about?
Who are the people who we believe are advising Obama to make these statements. I would REALLY like to know then focus some email, phone calls and personal conversations on these people.
How will you convince these people?
If you can't convince them you EXPOSE them and their ideas and say, "THIS DOESN'T work.
Now of course the media (whose favorite narrative is X vs. Y) will jump on this, so we also need a HERO on our side that is right and winning is the voice within the Obama campaign who is SCREAMING "DON'T MOVE RIGHT!"
you see in constructing a narrative you need to give the media ALL THE COMPONENTS because if you don't they will go find the pieces you have left out and them might get the story wrong.
I did this with my story. I didn't want the ACLU to be my "defender" because they would probably be on the side of the talk radio hosts. I found and educated the EFF first. I don't talk about this part much because for most people it isnt' relevant, but prepping for a narrative change and a fight takes time and thought. And you folks helped me with your time and thoughts. So let's help the Obama camp, because I'm sure there is one of us in side who need to say, "The move to the Right is a LOSING strategy We will WIN without it. Democrats have LOST WITH it so now we can kiss it goodbye, we don't need to try again.
So help me out here. If anyone has the brains to find out the players and kick some "lean right" ass, it's us. Let's find names and email addresses.
