If we could stop eating our own we might have a chance…
Newsflash to the netroots and the media (which seems perpetually confused on this issue): The netroots are not the base of the Democratic Party.

I was only 7 years old when President John F. Kennedy challenged the nation to think of the possibilities of space and launched the nation onto a journey reaching to the Moon. He stated:

“Aye,” the 76-year-old Kennedy […]

I’m with Paul Krugman, Greg, dday, and Atrios – Obama’s cave in on FISA is “a downer.” It’s not a good sign for things to come from an Obama administration, quite frankly and anyone making excuses for him doing this, shouldn’t be. Thankfully most liberal bloggers are calling it as they see it:
Wanker of the Day
Barack […]

I just finished watching the video below from MSNBC with Taylor Marsh and Matthew Slutsky (DoubleSpeak). Both Taylor and Matthew agreed that despite the divide between bloggers over the two candidates, Obama and Clinton, bloggers will come together to support the nominee.
Watch it here:

Many Hillary supporters see this election as social justice issue. Obama has worked hand in hand with the media in branding the Clintons as racists and spreading the gross lie that Hillary was calling for Obama’s assassination. The so-called liberal bloggers have joined in this appalling demonstration. […]
