Who the hell is Charles Blandy,

[whometense]

and by what right (and by what proof???) does he think he can state such things?

He's one of the guest posters substituting for Bill Scher at Liberal Oasis while Bill is honeymooning. You can't post comments on the site, but maybe we can do a blog fan-out to counteract this?? ASAP???

...In his book "The Left Hand of God", Michael Lerner talks about the "contempt" for the American public displayed by Democrats -- that's us -- in choosing John Kerry in 2004, in spite of the fact that Kerry voted for the war and Democrats were overwhelmingly against it. Not "foolishness", not "miscalculation" -- contempt. It was not an assertion of values to nominate Kerry, but rather an assertion of electoral strategy. And go figure, 51% of American folks didn't believe it. The flip-flop label stuck, because it was repeated incessantly ... and because it was true...

...Jack Murtha was courageous not just in taking on the Bush administration, but in offering an honest assessment -- in public, in good faith -- of what is and is not possible to accomplish in Iraq. And my instinct is that people are crying out for a solution, for the adults to take charge again. They do want the troops to come home -- with honor, and with some genuine sense of accomplishment out of the whole escapade, however brutally misguided to begin with. They're desperate for any glimmer of optimism -- for relief from the grim "stay the course" of the administration and the blaming -- however justified -- of the out-of-power left. So let's talk about what we can do, however modest; and while doing so, crush the GOP for their bald cowardice in refusing to face today's reality.

His emphasis, NOT mine. So Jack Murtha was courageous, huh? Boy, does this piss me off.

He posted his post on BlueMassGroup.com, if you want to answer.

What an ass.

3. Tell him we want to know EXACTLY what Kerry flip-flopped about that HE

knows, since those who followed closely saw NO flip-flops. And does he let the RNC and their media puppies inform ALL of his views?

4. Just posted - asked for his sources

and gave Mass's comment a 6. ;-)

Edited to add: it seriously pisses me off when the MA lefty freepers - who really ought to know better - throw Rovian talking points around without a moment's thought.

5. Well, I am willing, but how do you do a blog-fan out? n/t

[whometense]

6. It just means commenting where you can

and if you have your own blog, posting on the subject. Liberal Oasis is a widely-read major blog, and needs to be counteracted, as opposed to a lonely little blog read by 100 people a day - like mine;-)

If you don't have a blog, you can help by keeping an eye on threads in GD - or posting one in defense.
