Gergen: Will the Democrats govern from the far left...like the BLOGGERS...

[Bluebear]

or from more moderate Democrats like the newly elected Jim Webb?

On CNN/Anderson Cooper.

Well, we shall see Mr. Gergen, won't we? And now, away with your blatant call for 'moderation' and 'bipartisanship'. That is all.

2. Why do they insist on calling

generally mainstream ideas FAR LEFT? Is it because their sense of proportion and perspective are all screwed up?

I have YET to see the bloggers, en masse (and this includes DUers) calling for the nationalization of industry or complete elimination of capital.

Someone REALLY needs to reply to this...

"We're NOT communists, you dumbass. We're fucking populists. We're Main Street Americans. We just think YOU are a far right wackjob. That doesn't make us FAR LEFT. It makes us RATIONAL and OBSERVANT. You ARE a far right wackjob."

4. It's propaganda, pure and simple.

Just an attempt to marginalize us. If they repeat it often enough, it becomes true for most Americans.

5. The Ruling elite that Gergen represents always regard

basic human rights and common decency as extremely dangerous. From their point of view, of course, they are accurate. Whores like Gergen will lose their privileges if democracy ever comes to this world.

6. 'We're fucking populists.' Yes INDEED. This latest media framing is disgraceful. nt

7. ying my yang

I think he means, please don't put Bush on trial like Saddam Hussein.

Once again, I will state that it's a GOOD thing the far right is afraid of the far left, it will push both back to more moderate positions.
