The 2nd Thread For 7/15/10: Hackio Embarrasses Itself Once More

What a bunch of idiot Beltway hacks :

Polls show most self-described liberals still strongly support Obama. But an elite group of commentators on the left — many of whom are unhappy with him and are rewarded with more attention by being critical of a fellow Democrat — has a disproportionate influence on perceptions.

The liberal blogosphere grew in response to Bush. But it is still a movement marked by immaturity and impetuousness — unaccustomed to its own side holding power and the responsibilities and choices that come with that.

So many liberals seem shocked and dismayed that Obama is governing as a self-protective politician first and a liberal second, even though that is also how he campaigned. The liberal blogs cheer the fact that Stan McCrystal’s scalp has been replaced with David Petreaus’s, even though both men are equally hawkish on Afghanistan, but barely clapped for the passage of health care. They treat the firing of a blogger from the Washington Post as an event of historic significance, while largely averting their gaze from the fact that major losses for Democrats in the fall elections would virtually kill hopes for progressive legislation over the next couple years.

I think this highlights just how dumb the people are at Hackio really are.

"Immatury and impetuousness" are the people ahead of the Daily Kos, Firedoglake, Open Left, Pandagon and even The Nation and Talking Points Memo in the minds of a duo who are ironically talking about themselves much more here.

You seriously would not be a snarky personality to question whether Harris and Vandehei have the ability to read after what utter garbage they scribed today.

It's so funny to analyze this expressed opinion from the wannabe "political TMZ clowns" that are Hackio and their bunch of happy stenographers (though I have to give Ben Smith, and to a lesser extent, Michael Calderone some credit for being the only people who sometimes are relevant there.)

"Mo(u)rning Jo (k)e" regular caricatures Harris and Vandehei will continue thinking these weird things about the rational progressive online network. They create a stupid post like this because the people they attack are smarter than them, are better journalists/reporters than they ever will be, and have an impact on political discourse because they never had to kiss anyone's you know what like they willingly do everyday.

They are pathetic at their job, and they are probably pathetic at life.

Because why get mad and angry at a bunch of people who are better at practicing your job with lesser resources to work with?
