Suckerpunched: What to do When Jane Hamsher is Just Not Into You

[Swede]

I don't know if Fox's friend, Grover Norquist understudy, leader of a political advertising network that accepts money from the GOP and blackface-spreader Ms. Jane Hamsher realizes this, but she just made a funny. In her gratuitous excuse of a column written to whine about her buddy Dan Choi losing it and yelling at an OFA volunteer who was working to defeat the Minnesota same sex marriage ban, she makes this lovely revelation: "I hadn’t planned on going to Netroots Nation until a few weeks ago." How come? Scheduling conflict? No. Family activity? No. She didn't plan on going because of her "not being a fan of summer travel (okay, well, travel period)."

Funny, because for a convention she didn't think amounted to enough of a hill of beans to get over her own travel-aversion, she sure uses it to sell FDL ... umm... suckerships, err, I mean memberships. One of her sucker benefits she touts for her own website is - drumrolls, please - 15% off the price of Netroots Nation!

FDL members receive a 15% discount off registration for Netroots Nation, the annual progressive conference attended by politicians, bloggers, and activists to share ideas and strategies on the direction of the progressive movement. This discount alone pays for the price of your membership!

4. First the Lieberman blackface, then the "blind tribalist" remark. What a winner!

And a shame she has such a following who overlook those details because they like all the other "stuff" she's peddling.

5. DU asks for memberships

it's a common practice.

This concerted effort to smear Jane Hamsher is sad. And this particular one is just stupid.

6. What has been said about Hamsher that isn't accurate?

I'd think she be suing someone for libel if they were making this up. Maybe they're just unpleasant truths.

7. Is anyone surprised that Jane "I like Koch Money" Hamsher is in it for the $$$$?
