People in leadership of OFA are human. Yes, I think the New Mexico guy is a dumbass, and I think a lot of OFAers don't especially like left progressives, but I also think that Barack Obama needs us and we need him, no matter how frustrated we get over some policies.
The Obama campaign is now going on the record distancing itself from the email. A campaign spokesman, Katie Hogan, emails: “The views expressed in this email do not represent the views of the campaign.”

Let's take that as an apology and go back to our mutual corners. :-)
Yes, many in OFA and this adminstration don't like us (us being the left). So fucking what. Call us names all you want, I don't care. We call you names sometimes also. :-)
We need to work together to defeat extremist right wingers. We don't have to like each other, just grit our teeth and work together.
And the left is going to agitate for real change whether OFA likes it or not.
