Re Cohen, Somerby followed up today with another riff on Tweety in which he quoted the vapid one's priceless take on Dems as a bunch of sweaty, hairy, unwashed rabble unfit for social interchange with decent people. And he ridiculed the idea that an anti-liberal despiser of the people llike Tweety could call himself a liberal. The hijacking of liberalism by people willing to pimp themselves to get paid is truly sickening, and folks like Somerby who impolitely but bravely point it out are doing God's work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-26026323546707772312008-10-23T08:46:00.000-07:002008-10-23T08:46:00.000-07:00What depresses me even more is that many long-resp...What depresses me even more is that many long-respected liberal publications like the New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, The New Republic have embraced that very same rhetoric, even if they are somewhat more circumspect in advancing these views.Mike J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04909010285141564251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-32242312124597990852008-10-22T17:03:00.000-07:002008-10-22T17:03:00.000-07:00It is a shame that more people don't read (or take...It is a shame that more people don't read (or take to heart) The Howler; it is a shame that some (Atrios) discount him so easily with their condescension, intimating that he's a little crazy.<BR/>I would much rather read Somerby than the lazy, linked, "cryptic, and pointless" Eschaton, with a community that aspires to be "first" in the comments, and whose comments are typically vapid and communal "hellos" to each other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-70367671503006004462008-10-22T11:10:00.000-07:002008-10-22T11:10:00.000-07:00Ah, and look at Cohen's underhanded misogyny too- ...Ah, and look at Cohen's underhanded misogyny too- bashing "teachers unions"- we all know that more women than men are public school teachers- thus part of that union.

As every individuals has her/his own language and biases, my perspective is as follows: the current unity crowd is not liberal nor do they intend to be liberals. They have abandoned liberalism in 2006 when Pelosi and Reid took over; it probably happened way back and Reaganism might be the poison that slowly killed Liberalism.<BR/><BR/>Calling McCain's campaign the worst in 35 years has two goals. First, it increases the magnitude and significance of the upcoming Obama win. Second, it buries the worst campaign in 35 year: Obama's dirty, disgusting, racist, hateful and disgraceful campaign against Hillary.<BR/><BR/>I used to read Huffington, Digby, Atrios, Matt Y and Josh Marshall; not anymore. Adriana started a hate campaign against Bill Clinton years ago. Digby is to naive to offer much insight and her sidekicks are even weaker. Atrios, when I was reading him, was cryptic and pointless. Matt is the hamlet's fool. For Josh, the post is more than enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-48968303935401308092008-10-21T20:38:00.000-07:002008-10-21T20:38:00.000-07:00Ha--nice touch with the capital-S in "Sullied."
