FUCK YOU Jane Hamsher you lying POS!

[VeryConfused]

You gotta feel sorry for the guy (President Obama). His most ardent supporters are the dumbest motherfuckers in the world, and they don’t realize he thinks they are digging his political grave.

Jane you lying moronic sack of republican excrement. You should go back to covering the punk rock world which was the pinnacle of your intellectual accomplishments. Getting paid by the GOP to pose as a liberal to take down President Obama and the Democratic party is too horrible an act for words. Remember Jane it doesn't take brains to lie and pretend to be something you're not. All it takes is a lack of morals, scruples and honor.

3. she's painting with too broad a brush

and you're smearing her with the "paid by the GOP" shit.

[DFab420]

4. Except the fact that she is.

[EFerrari]

11. Read the article again. No evidence she's gotten a dime. n/t

[noiretextatique]

but...but...but: she has republicon clients!!!!!

and she walks grover norquist's dog too!!! :hi:

[Luminous Animal]

57. I wonder when Skinner is going to be accused of working with the GOP.

He gets Republican money from advertisements.

[noiretextatique]

DU good...FDL bad

ok?! :7

[noiretextatique]

67. DU good...FDL bad

ok?! :7

[Bobbie Jo]

81. Oh he has been accused, repeatedly....

Trouble is, posting the link to the whackadoodle site is verboten.

Some are probably familiar....

[noiretextatique]

dupe

[noiretextatique]

27. dupe 2

[DFab420]

34. Except the fact that is she is the LEADER?

Do you think she leads an ad company out of the goodness of her heart??

What makes more sense? Her not getting paid by a company she leads or her getting a cut??

[sabrina 1]

52. How do you feel about President Obama

restoring Republicans to positions of power after the people threw them out?

Should all Democrats who run businesses refuse to take customers who are Republicans? Do they? Or just Hamsher?

Should we have Democratic Businesses and Republican Businesses whereby no one can buy products from a business run by an opposing party member?

How would that work? Do you ever buy anything or watch movies eg, with the Disney label on it? If so, please stop!

Well, if you believe what you accuse of Hamsher of.

This is so silly. Attack her on the policies she espouses, but this kind of feeble nonsense won't convince anyone that she is the most evil person on the planet, sorry.

[TheWraith]

59. How about, supposed liberal activists don't work professionally to elect Republican candidates?

This isn't exactly rocket science, and it's not a case of some vague, tenuous connection. It's very simple: Hamsher claims to be some left-wing icon while actively and directly working to elect Republicans.

[sabrina 1]

74. Can you provide something other than your opinion to demonstrate

how she works directly to get Republicans elected? As I understand it she does not, she has a tangential relationship, through an ad business, to people running for office. Like Google Ads, here and on other Progressive boards. I remember, eg, people on Daily Kos complaining about the ads promoting Republicans on their blog and they were told it was 'business not personal' and that we were 'taking their money' so we should not be concerned about it.

But is she's out there campaigning personally, that would be a different story. If you can demonstrate why you are making this charge it would be appreciated.

[dameocrat67]

79. That would mean no work for Obama

lets just face the fact that this is tribal vs ideological dems. tribal dems support anyone who is a democrat for various airfairy reasons and ideological ones only support dems who support democratic policies for reasons of values.

[TheWraith]

46. She publicly admits to working for Republicans. Do you work for people who don't pay you?

The rationalizations here to defend a Republican plant and professional Democrat-basher are getting tedious.

[Luminous Animal]

50. If Jane works for the Republicans then so does DU which regularly displays republican advertisement

The director of her company admits to selling advertising services to all orgs of any political stripe.

[TheWraith]

54. Doing advertising work to ELECT REPUBLICANS is different from running ads you can't finely control.

To insinuate they're the same is bullshit. Hamsher creates and designs advertising for Republicans, in order to get them elected.

[Luminous Animal]

62. I see advertising all the time here trying to elect Republicans. If accepting money from Republicans

is such a big deal, perhaps Skinner should do something about controlling the flow. I know, for a fact, that they can reject ads based on content.

Common Sense Media is an advertising firm appealing to a niche market of political junkies of any and every political stripe.

[DFab420]

66. Skinner has no control over the ads that the advertisers put in their

little side panels. Google Ads is control by search patterns and keywords.

This has been discussed IN LENGTH on DU many times before.

[Luminous Animal]

70. Bullshit. A couple of years ago, I was successful in getting an ad pulled.

Skinner, et. al, are not innocent victims here.

[NMMNG]

90. The board administrators can block any ads they want

It's quite simple really. My wife runs multiple sites and blocks ads from Gooogle AdSense all the time. It's not difficult or time consuming if someone really cares to avoid advertising for people/companies they don't agree with. We don't have control over who advertises with Google AdSense, but we can control what ads run on our sites.

[Luminous Animal]

91. Thus, Skinner probably drives a really nice car courtesy of the GOP.

[VeryConfused]

20. Damn those facts! damn them to hell!

[pscot]

9. Takes 2 to make a pie fight.

[VeryConfused]

16. She receives money from the GOP

that is why she works so hard to undermine the DNC and elected Democrats

[EFerrari]

18. You really are vey confused, aren't you?

[VeryConfused]

21. Ironically not nearly as much as you are

[EFerrari]

36. Unfortunately for your many false claims, DU knows better. n/t

[MessiahRp]

32. No kidding.

Sorry Obamabots is nowhere near close to racial slurs. And frankly the people it applies to and their lockstep obedience in supporting every single word, policy, thought that Obama has, makes it quite the appropriate term, even if they don't like it.

When Republicans supported every single thing Bush did, those same people likely called them Bushbots. (or didn't because there's no telling how many of them are over here doing that now for a President that has supported a lot of the same policies as Bush)

38. Interesting...

I'm ignored when I call out the Prez on something, but without fail I'm called Obamabot or worse here... and I have never, ever seen a 'rational' supporter of Obama... at least none that get by around here by saying positive things about him.

[still_one]

6. I have major issues with Obama, but I have even more issues with hamsher. I wouldn't even go to

their site

[ZombieHorde]

7. No reason to replace one fallacious comment with another. nt

[VeryConfused]

Nope, her work for the GOP is a matter of public record

[Luminous Animal]

41. No it is not.

[VeryConfused]

55. Wishing it wasn't true doesn't work

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1337889

[Luminous Animal]

65. Not one shred of evidence is presented in that article that Common Sense Media

works for the GOP so making that claim is a bald faced lie. Are DUers now in the habit of creating their own reality? There own version of truthiness?

So again, put up or shut up.

[EFerrari]

8. True, she's not as succinct as Rahm. n/t

[MessiahRp]

28. +1000

My how quickly they forget.

[Lisa D]

31. Were you defending him as well

when he attacked dems?

[EFerrari]

68. Of course not. He was insulting people for speaking up for themselves.

Jane lost it with the loyalists who are so anxious to promote Obama they cheer things they don't even understand and which are completely counter productive.

Which is pretty much what we've seen here for the last week. Telling people none of this negotiation is happening, for example. How is that working out so far? Browbeating people who disagree with them, criticizing people for standing up for Social Security and Medicare.

There is no comparison.

[jtown1123]

10. Say what you will about Jane, but she is certainly not a Republican.

[VeryConfused]

17. She certainly is a Republican

you have zero proof to support your claim, while I can offer up alliances with and $$$ by the GOP

[jtown1123]

24. That's absurd. Jane is a huge progressive and doesn't mince her criticism of Obama

or Dems that do not live up to the expectations of the label. Fire Dog Lake is a progressive site. Please I would be interested to see this proof you speak of.

[VeryConfused]

26. Bullshit Jane has done NOTHING but help the GOP

that is her ONLY ACCOMPLISHMENT.

[jtown1123]

69. maybe unintentionally, but I highly doubt she voted for McCain or Bush

[Luminous Animal]

44. Go ahead. Offer up alliances with the GOP.

[frylock]

49. well then offer them up..

lets see the blue clicky things.

[jtown1123]

71. Haha. i've never seen any evidence of this. It's something that only pops up on DU

when I google Jane Hamsher is a republican, I get rerouted to DU.

[NorthCarolina]

84. What about Obama's alliances with GOP'ers in his cabinet, judicial appointments, etc.

Using your "think" Obama would be far more suspect as a Republican than Hampshire. Instead of attacking liberal spokes persons, why don't you simply cut to the chase and air your grievances with Liberals and Liberalism directly. It would give you and your third-way crew far more credibility.

[mike_c]

12. I have to say though that the comments were pretty damned interesting....

Easily on par with a good DU thread. I wonder how many DUers participated in that discussion?

[cliffordu]

13. what the fuck is a 'fire dog lake' and what kind of dumb motherfucker would

name their website that??

[Bobbie Jo]

77. LOL

:rofl:

I suspect alcohol was involved.

[Safetykitten]

14. I think she is FABULOUS!

19. Yeah just like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman

[dionysus]

43. lol, of course you do.

[AtomicKitten]

48. +

[DevonRex]

82. So you agree with her?

:rofl:

If you still think she's fab after saying that...

[Whisp]

23. jane is a loud mouthed toxic piece of mudderfucking shit

[VeryConfused]

25. You're being too nice

[JuniperLea]

29. Desperation is really ugly

And to be so desperate so early in the game is really telling!

Hoorah for Jane, the ignorant s___! So transparent, and so terrified!

:rofl:

Yeah, she is a piece of work. What the hell is she going to say three months from now? She's blown her wad already!

:rofl:

[Myrina]

30. Words only have the meanings/intents that we 'assign' to them ...

... so someone calls you a 'dumb m*fer' and you're offended, and calls me a 'dumb m*fer' and I'm not offended ... its because that person's opinion doesn't mean squat to me. Are the words themselves so 'bad'? Nope - it's each person's own internalizing of those words and how they affect their self-image.

In other words, sorry you're pissed off folks, but grow up.

Flame away ...

[tishaLA]

40. did you feel the same with "fucking retarded"?

[JuniperLea]

45. I'm betting... no eom

[Luminous Animal]

53. Retarded is a slur against a protected class of people. Dumb motherfuckers

are not a protected class.

[VeryConfused]

58. That was an insane argument

[Arkana]

88. I'm guessing you didn't feel this way when Rahm made the "fucking retarded" remark

and the Hamsher people were only too happy to take him grossly out of context.

[LiberalAndProud]

33. Purposefully incendiary. What's new?

Isn't McConnell's deal a short term total bullshit deal? Won't Obama reject it out of hand if it ever does reach his desk? If we celebrate that the GOP appears to be grasping at straws, that doesn't mean that we think McConnell offered a solution.

I think she tries too hard to keep the controversy alive without really saying much of anything. It's okay with me if others disagree with that assessment, but I can disregard her opinion without missing a heartbeat. She's found her niche, which seems to be sowing controversy on DU, mostly. I did click on the link, which would serve Jane's purpose, I think.

I'll acquiesce to other opinions here, because I don't count myself among Obama's "most ardent" supporters. I'll criticize him when I disagree with him and support him when I don't. I guess there is room for a broad spectrum of opinion on the man. He is the President, after all. The GOP would do well to take notice of that little factoid, IMO.

[midnight]

35. This appears to be another manufactured crisis.... Both sides

taking advantage of those who count on their elected officials to provide entitlements to all, and not just the top 1,2, 3, 4, 5, Percent....

[Inuca]

39. Do not agree with the language, but

most certainly agree with the sentiment. Hamsher has jumped the shark quite a long time ago.

She does, however, appreciate the continued support.
