Both side should quit whining about the other side. Seriously ? Jane Hamsher is on MSNBC on The Dylan Ratigan show whining about how Robert Gibbs was soooooooooooooooooooo mean towards the "Professional Left". I mean they are keeping bitching and whining about the WH at every corner, but God forbid if The White House fight back or call them out ! Come on !
If you can dish, you should take it !
For months, Jane Hamsher and others were running on TV Show calling Barack Obama "Bush III". She was unwatchable during the Health Care Reform Debate keeping whining about everything. Not only she called for an alliance with the Tea Party in order to "Kill the Bill", she even went as far as to attack Denis Kucinich when he decided to vote for the HCR Bill. Then when Robert Gibbs calls them out on this, it's a big outrage ! If you compared Barack Obama to George W Bush admit it and assume it, then move on instead of playing the victim ! Now, she is running on MSNBC whining about White House Press Secretary being so mean to "the professional left".
It's democracy ! We can all agree to disagree ! Robert Gibbs has the right to vent his frustration about the "Professional Left" as much the "Professional Left" has the right to call out the WH. But stop acting like "the Professional Left" has every right and others have not.
If someone disagree with the Professional Left and agrees with the WH, she/he is automatically called an Obamabot. And If Someone disagree with the WH and agrees with the WH, she/he is called a "purist".
When the WH attacks the "Professional Left", they should be prepared that they will fight back. Same goes for the "Professional Left" , who should be prepared that the WH will fight back if they feel that they are unfairly attacked.
This Left vs Left is just another distraction from the real issue. Quoting President Obama himself, Robert Gibbs "acted stupidly" when he made those comments. But guess what ? Show him that we matter by electing better candidates for november. Be involved during the primaries ! If your congressman/senator is not a good dem, find a good dem to challenge him or her! Do you really think that Speaker JohnBoehner will throw roses petals at your feet ? Of Course unless you help him by staying home in november instead of get out and vote !
As a member of the "Amateur Left", I don't take my orders neither from the "Professional Left" or the White House. That's the difference between the left and the right, The Rightwingnuts take orders from Limbaugh, Hannity or Beck, while Lefties are not Dittoheads, we use our own brains in order to take our decisions !
Feel free to call me name, but we should only focus on what it's important i.e electing good dems !
RANT :)
