While I appluad your consistency,.... I dissagree with your premise that progressives don't like Obama,... as they are directly responsible for his being in office. Are you telling me that, Joel Rogers, Andy Stearn, Van Jones, Frank Lloyd, George Soros, SEIU, AFL CIO, are not proggresives??Irrelevant he had nothing to do with these interrogation.
Your information comes from left wing blogs which makes them worse than worthless.
If FreeRepublic or Red State interviews someone and provides a transcript of the interview, it's highly, highly unlikely that's not what the person said.
The fact that a so-called "left wing blog" (Harpers, Small Wars Journal are neither of them "left wing blogs") publishes something only automatically discredits it so someone intentionally maintaining willful ignorance.
Healthy skepticism of a source you believe to be biased is smart, discounting entirely anything they publish from a weather report to an interview as "worthless" is absolutely idiotic and moreover a cheap attempt to avoid addressing all of the many facts and expert opinions that disprove your argument.
By the way, the Bush Admin claimed in 2002 the Library tower ("Liberty Tower" [sic]) plot was thwarted. This was before KSM was even captured. This was reported in mainstream and right wing media as well as being part of the public record. How do you explain away that one?
Are any of you "left loons" going to raise hell about the Bamster's new Supreme Court Appointee's stance on detaining people SUSPECTED of financing al queda indefinatly?? Again, the hipocrasy is stunning.....
Yes, I have. I've repeatedly railed against her here and elsewhere for that and explained that position, along with her general support for expansions of executive authority at the expense of civil rights and her lack of a record on almost anything else, as the primary reason she's a terrible choice for the S.C.
As have many, many, many others on the left. Most genuine progressives are unhappy with or opposed to his choice. Hell, most genuine progressives are unhappy with or opposed to Obama generally.
There's no hypocrisy among the left on that issue, only among loyal partisan Democrats, who like anyone loyal to a group or person rather than principle is necessarily a hypocrite.
Bad analysis, Eccgmike. The disaffected centrists formerly supporting the GOP put Obama in office, and they are going to keep him there because the far right won't stop doing the stuff that got them thrown out -- continually lying to the American people.
