Politico- On a self appointed mission to try and bring down Obama
Has anyone noticed that Politico has become the self appointed attack dog againt Obama. They are trying to replace Drudge as the internet patisan attack vehicle against Democratic presidents. I wish there was a way to write Yahoo news and request this disreputable news source be dropped from their feeds.

6. Ah, but WHICH right wing do they work for?
During the primaries, Politico was still very much anti-Obama, but very pro-Hillary from my memory.

And look who's writing for Politico now.....

That's right, king of the DLC shitheads himself. :puke:

So is Politico a tool of the admitted Republicans, or the DLC stealth Republicans?

2. Jon Harris Has Always Acted Like A Con
He wrote books with Halperin and for a minute they were the toast of the cocktail weenies set, so consider the source. Barack will succeed despite their best efforts and that is the best revenge. They will become irrelevant. Even now despite the media's best efforts re:Blago, Obama has risen in the polls.

3. Maybe. Or, perhaps they suffer the same disease as many at DU.
DU has spent the past eight years in the role of opposition to the administration.

Some of us are excited about being in the majority, others are simply in the permanent mode of hammering continually in "the man", whoever that may be.

DU is experiencing transition pains. Politico, too?

5. Yup. They are pathetic. From writing about Obama not going to church
Edited on Mon Dec-15-08 11:10 AM by BrentTaylor
to cooking up a story about Southerners being upset about not being in the cabinet. Now they have this Bullshit, about Obama is no Lincoln. Obama has never claimed to be Lincoln

7. Politico is an arm of Drudge Slime Factory Productions
I remember reading about how they are linked when they first spawned into internet vermin a couple years ago.

It's just prettied up from Drudge and another echo chamber vortex for the Repigs.
