In reply to the discussion: Cenk is over at Daily Kos calling for a vote against Obama (updated) [View all]ProSense

Looks like a bunch on name calling to me, but that seems to be your style. You aren't able to actually support positions or principles because you always have to support Obama. Look at your responses to my post. You attack me and Cenk, but you never once have addressed any policy position. You aren't a progressive, you are an Obama supporter, regardless of what positions that entails. That would be sad... if you weren't being paid to do it.
...one of "policy position" pulled from Cenk's piece should I address:
"If he had wrestling nickname it would be The Establishment."
"Change was a cutesy slogan he used to trick us into thinking he was on our side."
"The agenda of the president sucks and is deeply Republican. "
You aren't a progressive, you're a Cenk fan who doesn't like Obama. Your response is typical of the disingenous attempts to portray reaction to innuendo as an "attack"
From your first comment: "p.s. Good to see you back at work, ProSense!"
My response wasn't an attack, go read it again.

OP
could you imagine what Obama might do, if people weren't telling others to STFU?

Do you honestly believe that repeatedly calling someone a "moron" is an effective strategy?

So? It's a primary and he's "working within the system" as the moderates advise us to do.

Yours is a "personal attack", which will likely be hidden. Mine was an attack on a public figure.
