Re: On The dip? (2.00 / 6)

I stopped blogging while I worked for Dean (Markos did blog but had a disclaimer), and have repeatedly had to stoop down to the level of your likes to state again that I am not in any way working for the Clinton campaign.

Re: On The dip? (2.00 / 1)

Hate to say it but it really isn't apparent that you are not. Not only what you choose to post but the way that you frame every issue seems to come straight from the Clinton talking points. I take you at your word that you are receiving no compensation from them but I would like to know whether or not you coordinate message with them.

Typical obama supporter (none / 0)

Jerome,

I wouldn't even answer these charges.  Your track record on disclosure is above reproach.

This is simply a KOS operative trying to stir trouble.

Get back on message: Obama is destroying our party unity.

"Stoop to the level of your likes..."

You mean your readers? Even if we disagree, most of us still respect you...

Well...

My big point here is this: You have railed against Obama using wide platitudes and meaningless broad terms to inspire...

In his speech on race he did not do that. He spoke in sincere specifics or real-world problems as if we were adults.

To merely talk about "getting beyond race" would truly be a fairy tale, if the 150 years since the Civil War have been any indication.

To critique Obama for doing just what every Hillary supporter has accused him of NOT doing -- that is, providing substance to his words (something I've personally thought he always did, even when I supported Hillary) is disturbing.

Not as disturbing as that "likes of you" comment, which, given your experience (and Kos') is, in fact, something you will have to answer for in some way or another for the rest of your media career -- just as Carville, Begala, Steph -- Snow, Rove, Kristol -- will have to do. If you've worked for a campaign in the same function you now work, people will want transparency. You shouldn't be offended, rather glad for the opportunity to make clear that your passions are your own...

Re: On The dip? (none / 0)

Anyone who has read my DD and Jerome over the years wouldn't even dream of insinuating what the poster you are defending did.
We know that agree or disagree with Jerome, he is not someone you would ever put in the same classification as Rove or Kristol. I'm more than a little tired of those dems who feel that they have the right to trash others who have been fighting the fight for years, just because they don't agree on a candidate. You don't have to like Hillary Clinton- that's fine. You don't have to agree with or even like Jerome-that's fine too. But you have absolutely no right to make false insinuations or to smear another dem with unfounded malice.

Re: On The dip? (none / 0)

yea, i too would like to know what you mean by "stoop down to the level of your likes"... ? not everyone reads every single comment on every post here.  i had no idea if you were paid by a campaign or not, but i assumed you were NOT.
