Rahm Emanuel’s 2014 budget address to the city council outlined a series of job and benefit cuts.

Emanuel, a longtime Democratic Party operative and President Barack Obama’s former chief of staff, is carrying out a campaign of social counterrevolution to bring down the living standards of workers through a coordinated attack on pensions, health care, and jobs. What is happening in Chicago closely parallels the process in Detroit, where a financial crisis has been engineered to eliminate pensions and other obligations in the bankruptcy courts.

Please Mr. Big Boss Man fuck me over harder. We are being ground-up, mashed down, and worn out. Something has got to give. Man, I wish we had a Communist Party...

But don't ya see, what we got here is 'liberal-washing', the liberal establishment is selling the 'rank&file' liberals down the river by lending their cred to 'centrists' like Emanuel and Obama who inevitably sell the people down the river. David Sirota has discovered this and tells all:

Who could imagine?

Betrayed again.

Oh, really?

Fuckin' Philistines.

This has got to be the stupidest article I have read in a long, long time. It goes beyond "philistinism" - unless the depths of philistinism are deeper than I have known.


liberal washing is all about wrapping corporate America’s agenda in the veneer of fight-for-the-little-guy progressivism, thus portraying plutocrats’ radical rip-off schemes as ideologically moderate efforts to rescue the proles. Liberal washing has always been around, of course. But it has really risen to prominence — and dominance — in modern times. Indeed, one of the most reliable political axioms of the last 30 years is this: If corporate America cooks up a scheme to rip off the middle class, Republicans will provide the bulk of the congressional votes for the scheme — but enough establishment-credentialed liberals inevitably will endorse the scheme to make it at least appear to be mainstream and bipartisan. Yes, it seems no matter how venal, underhanded or outright corrupt a heist may be, there always ends up being a group of icons with liberal billing ready to drive the getaway car.

The most reliable way to liberal-wash something is to get a famous Democrat to support it. This is because even though many Democratic politicians, party officials, operatives and pundits are neither liberal nor progressive, the media nonetheless usually portrays all people affiliated with the Democratic Party as uniformly liberal on all issues.

(My bolding) These Liberals equate proles with middle class and don't even know what they are saying. The former is the latter and the latter is just a flimsy construct that has exhausted its usefulness.

Now, the idea that "liberal" is simply another way of saying "bourgeoisie" never come to this cretin's mind. "Liberalism has been stabbed in the back!" is all he can come up with. The rest of it, like the first, is drivel...

Hold yer horses, the NetRoots got this.


I left the Democratic Party after 2010– threw away the whole Gravy Train Democratic consulting gig. Sure, I didn’t like the way that my entire world got dropped. I too put some years into it. As a sort of cleansing, last cycle I went to work helping to primary some incumbents in both parties for a rich Texan PAC, and managing libertarian Gary Johnson’s internet campaign. I felt a lot clearer and cleaner having done the partisan purge. It made me realize that libertarians and progressives have a lot more in common than do either libertarians with the Republican party or progressives with the Democratic party. I’ve also come to believe that this alliance is where the next movement is. It scares the shit out of the major parties, and the Government as a whole.

That'll show those Democrats that they can't just kick around progressives. It'll be the Suburban Party, proles on the barbie every Saturday, evil banksters driven from the temple of capitalism(hehe), Pleasant Valley Sunday uber alles.

Rand and Dennis! Pot and Yogurt! Lynchings and Be-ins! Bore-a and Aura! Hey, Dennis even has a hot wife - so even the Palin chippers have a draw! I just hope Rand doesn't plagiarize any more before 2016...
