“The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy”
By dcmediagirl on September 4, 2008 at 10:06 AM in Current Affairs
So Salon conducted an “interview” (if by “interview” you mean typing answers to weak, insipid questions) with Markos Moulitsas about his insane clown posse “progressive” blog and thoughts on how to advance “liberal” causes.
You also write with respect for many of the campaign strategies Republicans have successfully employed over the years. How much of the book’s advice was inspired by the tactics of Karl Rove and Tom DeLay?
I think a lot of my activities, the way I’ve organized and built my little operation, have been predicated on the right-wing example. I have immense respect for and even jealously for what they’ve done. And so now we’re finally getting around to building our own version of a vast right-wing conspiracy. We’re starting to build our own vast left-wing conspiracy.
Well, there it is. Not a single question about how the Orange Place has become virtually indistinguishable from the online asylum known as the Free Republic. No questions about how spreading psychotic conspiracy theories moves the progressive agenda forward, or how lying about the parenthood of a special needs child, or how any of these tactics will win anyone over…or, indeed, how this behavior advances the “hope” and “change” theme.
Now, I couldn’t give a damn about what the trolls, the underwear-draped-dormroom-inhabiting-Cheetoh-eating “citizen journalists”, the Delta Taus over at MSNBC and other members of the MSM have to say about this site and the people who write for it. You can say we’re closet Republicans; that the women who supported Hillary and refuse to pledge allegiance to Barack Obama are an embittered, delusional minority; that those of us who admire Sarah Palin need to be ridden out of town on a rail. Go ahead. But we here at NQ can boast about two things:
1. We were right when we compared the tactics used against Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin to those used to destroy John McCain and his family in South Carolina. I seem to remember we were all horrified back then. We thought that those who planned and launched such an attack had forfeited the right to walk among civilized, decent human beings. How things change.
2. No one here ever held up Karl Rove and Tom DeLay, two of the biggest scumbags on the planet, as role models.
Thank you.
