rootless_e re an article that is based on a Mike Allen story – CLUELESS => @digby56 Mike Allen? Huh?18 dimensional chess is above my head//

- rootless_e .@digby56 Is that the standard you want to be judged on: reaches less people with less damaging b.s. than Beck?
- rootless_e .@digby56 And not only do those people think Obama has contempt for them, they keep getting wound up about it.
- rootless_e RT @digby56: Millions believe that Obama is a socialist Muslim// And thousands, thanks to your team, think he has contempt for them.

digby56 @rootless_e If what I wrote is a “smear” you need to get out more . Brace yourself: Millions believe that Obama is a socialist Muslim.
- rootless_e .@digby56 Just do basic journalism, and when Mike Allen publishes an excerpt from Obama’s speech, read the whole speech. Too much to ask.
- rootless_e RT @digby56: But upshot is if I fluff Obama all day I’ll turn this election around?// Either fluff or smear, nice false dichotomy.
- rootless_e RT @digby56: @rootless_e Mike Allen? Huh?18 dimensional chess is above my head.//Checking sources seems to be above your head.
- digby56 @rootless_e Mike Allen? Huh?18 dimensional chess is above my head. But upshot is if I fluff Obama all day I’ll turn this election around?
- rootless_e @digby56 But wait, maybe Mike Allen is a hippie. Is objecting to his spin, “kicking hippies”?
- rootless_e @digby56 The Obama “diss thebase” speech – you, Alterman, Hamsher – all took the bait from Mike Allen without a qualm.
- rootless_e @digby56 Netroots does know how to be team players, but for the other team. Politico just has to drop a hint and you jump.
- digby56 @rootless_e Good point. Blame the Netroots! Also a winner! (Damned hippies don’t know how to be team players …)
- digby56 @rootless_e I work hard for progressive candidates. But I don’t blow smoke. Feel free to start your own blog and blow all the smoke you want
- rootless_e @digby56 And “the left” as represented by e.g. Barbara Lee & Van Jones is not attacking Obama. Netroots is not “the left”.
- rootless_e @digby56 Franken won by 200 votes. You have a megaphone, you want to reach people. Why pretend otherwise?
- digby56 @rootless_e We reach a few thousand. Limbaugh, Fox, talk radio, MSM reach tens of millions. But always a winner to blame left. Go for it!
- rootless_e @digby56 and when you keep telling people that Obama and Rahm dissed them, you generate echos of this crap all over the internet.
- rootless_e @digby56 How much discouragement is needed to make the difference between Senator Franken winning and losing?
