Reply #86: But that was 'reaching out' wasn't it?

I have seen some of the same commenters who fiercely defended Obama for his alliances with people like McClurkin suddenly flip-flop now. All it says is that the issues are secondary to the individual politician they support. Which makes their opinions irrelevant.

Obama didn't back down from those alliances either, no matter how angry his supporters were. Interestingly though, he did back away from the Rev. Wright and from Acorn and Van Jones when the RIGHT attacked those alliances. Clearly he listens more to the radical, racists on the right and so far, has not stood up to them at all, while admonishing the left, Conyers, Dean and the base. So the ranting of Rush Limbaugh, Fox and Hannity et al got Obama's attention.

Maybe Jane Hamsher will at least get his attention now as he apparently watches Fox and has been influenced by them. He rarely if ever responds to the concerns of the left. If for no other reason that to get his attention, I'm glad she went Fox.

The Democratic Party is moving further and further to the right. Those who want people like Jane Hamsher to STFU, are unwittingly (or maybe not in some cases) helping that to happen.
