Washington Post: Is Obama Betraying the Left?

[villager]

A quick survey column from the Post:

A guy from the Hoover Institute, and a Democratic pollster, all love the decisions on torture photos and military tribunals.

Oddly enough, only a representative from a Human Rights group seems nonplussed.

1. Media: divide and conquer entertainingly

I'll probably say it again. The first and main goal of peoples of all persuasions should be to get the parasitic business monkey persons off the backs of real people. Just about all other issues divide us to helplessness and murder. Corporations are useful but they have escaped almost all restraint and have become the masters and are adept at cresting confusion and animosity between peoples to their benefit.

Then, when people are in charge of their own affairs many issues will be more manageable, and they can squabble and deal in more realistic and humane fashion.

Corporate crap is at the root of almost all the problems and challenges facing mankind and thus this planet's future. Money and cupidity and bickering should not be what ended us.

8. Uh...no n/t

Is that a "betrayal." Not as such. But it's a massive fail.

5. Yikes. Doug Schoen is a right wing nutcase and a huckster.

He's the newer, crazier Otto Reich.

9. It's interesting that WaPo calls him a "Democratic pollster":

... Douglas E. Schoen has worked for the past 30 years creating and developing winning communication messages and campaigns for Fortune 500 executives, political leaders, and heads of state, from Bill and Hillary Clinton to Mike Bloomberg and Jon Corzine ... http://www.crisisgroup.org/home/index.cfm?id=4251

12. Yeah, it's funny. And what is Ken Roth doing trashing Obama?

These people are transparent as hell. RIP, Human Rights Watch. I'm sorry I ever gave you a nickel.

6. The Washington Post has betrayed the left for years!

No paper whores more for the Republic Party than the Whoreshington Post and its star presstitutes Broder and Cohen!

[FLAprogressive]

7. He's been betraying the left since 1/20/09
