Mayhil Flowers is "an ardent Obama supporter", Daily Kos reports
Edited on Sat Apr-12-08 05:38 PM by fighterdem5
Mayhil Flowers' description in the Daily Kos: "A highly-educated, sophisticated intellectual as well as an ardent Obama supporter, she has become a mainstay of OffTheBus.",
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/4/12/16623/0461/849/494424

Some have attempted to paint her as anti-Obama, which is inaccurate.

By the way, this raises the question: Why does the HuffPo have an "ardent" follower of a candidate as head of such an important section of the site?
Whatever happened to neutrality? No wonder Obama gets significant negative coverage only about once every 2 weeks.

1. She didn't see anything wrong with what Obama said.
Just like many of his supporters and Harvard grads.

2. Bill continued the CIA false flag stuff ... this is just the same thing on the political front
A supposed "ardent follower" becomes apostate.

She was a McClinton plant from the very beginning.

4. Actually, the quote is from Marc Cooper, not Kos. Why not cite the original source?
Marc Cooper is Flowers' editor at the HuffPo and "editorial coordinator" of the "Off the Bus" section. http://marccooper.com/inside-the-obama-guns-god-bitterness-storm/ Off the Bus at HuffPo: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/off-the-bus/

HuffPo features bloggers who have different points of view. That's the point. It doesn't pretend to be "neutral" reportage. Flowers is one blogger there, not "head" of a section of the site.
