Reply #46: "intrique" seems to be the modus operandi for Cenk and his employees

[demhistorian]

I mean, he states Rahm in on his way out (which there is no evidence of), and claims Rahm wrote the Millbank piece (again, no evidence of that). Lots on intriguing pieces of fiction there.

** you attempt to discredit Cenk by going out of your way to write (former R) as if that's relevant in some substantive way ***

I didn't go out of my way to write it. It was pretty damn easy. And I think it is pretty relevant when that same person proposes a progressive-tea party alliance and writes for an internet rag founded by another former Republican who once worked with Gingrich to bring down Bill Clinton and endorse John McCain in 2000.

** not to mention the amusing insulting adjectives, i.e. "pouty" **

Would you have preferred "wacky?"

** Then the implied bashing of "the left" (this is Democratic Underground after all). I mean, if you mean "far left", say it. **

From DU's original charter: "Democratic Underground welcomes Democrats of all stripes, from centrist to liberal. We are all part of the same coalition..." This correctly confirms that using a term to distinguish one stripe from the next is entirely appropriate on DU.

** And then an implied jab at those who respect Howard Dean? **

No, an outward and straightforward slam on those who's disdain for Rahm stems from their love of Howard Dean.
