Whiners

The DLC really are hilarious. Read this one.



If only we could hear such moral clarity from our own party's left! Instead, we heard from Daily Kos, the ur-liberal ur-blogger, whose blog included a cheer for, among others, outcast Labourite George Galloway, who blamed the attacks on Blair's Iraq policy -- and was roundly denounced by virtually all British politicians. "See, Democrats? That's how it's done," lectured the blogger ignorantly. Likewise, Matt Yglesias, an articulate liberal voice at The American Prospect, who belittled Marshall Wittmann's call for moral clarity as a phrase never used "unironically" anymore. No wonder Democrats are perceived to have a values problem.


Notice especially that they're trying to smear Markos not based on something he wrote, but simply because his "blog included" something - could've been a comment, an unpromoted diary, etc...

[edited]...ah, I found it. And, no, Markos didn't write it. It's funny how much they hate Markos with little reason - they have to reach to find quotes with which to try to smear him, and attribute things to him which he didn't even write. Hilarious.
