“Sycophants…” — 12 Comments

  1. If it mattered, if it was a criterion — government doing a good job — Americans would have stopped voting sometime in the nineteenth century.

  2. The talking turd that is Chris Matthews is repeating what he has always done: advising the administration. He isn’t denouncing Obama or making a substantive criticism; he’s advising Obama he needs to change his strategy and feels like he’s the one to give that advice because Obama lacks good advice because he is surrounded by syncophants. Huh!

  3. no..
    my favorite is axelrod now pointing out that the government is too large to manage

    and the messages commenting, pointing out that they made it so big, they cant manage it now?

    and they want it bigger?

    if this was only a sitcom…

  4. Obama needs a Drudge
    http://thehill.com/opinion/columnists/brent-budowsky/299459-obama-needs-a-drudge

    Today, Rupert Murdoch, Roger Ailes, the Koch family and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) et. al are highly visible and hardly conspiratorial, while Drudge, the universally visible maestro at the epicenter of the machine that magnifies their message, takes their narrative to a deafening decibel level that no competitor even attempts to match.

    faking you know something and see the fine emperors clothes is a rampant disease (Even here on this blog!!!). making a bet that everyone who reads you is dumber than you, or as lazy as you, or doesn’t know… is a FOOLS GAME of odds. [even if you think you get away with it, you may not as the other might not let you nkow they know]

    anyway.
    the above is incredibly funny, give drudge writes no articles, and has linked to the puffing post.. and salon, and on and on…

    and its when things like this happen, that they reveal THEMSELVES!!!!!!!!!!

    ie. if their facts are not from reality, then they are going to model what they think against what they know about their own side!!!!!!!

    Conservatives and their media treat politics as a movement, with outward-aiming systems of interlocking mutual support and reinforcement of message.

    Obama and his inner circle treat politics more like a one-candidate personal cult with an insular system of centralized White House control, rather than a broad-based national movement that promotes powerful issues and persuades with compelling narratives.

    given my post early from marxists org about the LID and SDS and so on. the above is right out of that idea of how to do things to sieze power NOT win the debate

    the insanity continues

    The unprecedented influence of Drudge is that he offers a scandal and message megaphone to conservative media, politicians and ideas that drive the national narrative that Drudge horizontally cross-promotes. GOP attacks rocket from Issa’s keyboard to Fox News and Drudge’s site, which beams them outward to be repeated from “Morning Joe” to the evening news and daily newspapers. Armies of mainstream media insiders pore over the Drudge

    Report like Talmudic scholars, which arguably make Drudge the single most influential person in American media.

    the above is absurd..

    its like my listening to some here who go on about something and they have no idea that someone else may actually know the source, the history, and so on..

    and so they kind of look like this author, who is telling people about drudge. except that its someone whose never been there, telling others who never been there. (they would never be caught “over there” so they need a brave other to tell them what is there, thats why we have tingles and why women have the view, evne if they get the orders second hand without attribution)

    i will leave the rest of it to you to read and be entertained.

    the comments are priceless…

    if only editors took the time to read the actual comments, and not the filtered list the marketing department gives them that makes sure marketing looks good and they never read that their employees are considered morons by the reading public, and says so, and by extention, the editor is a moron

    two comments
    What’s interesting is how Drudge is vilified by the left, when in reality, all he does is provide links to other stories, kinda like Google, Yahoo, AOL, etc. Yet, he’s the bad guy. Observe, however, how many of the stories linked on sites I mentioned leap right to HuffPo.

    and

    Google search is junk as well as Bing.
    Feels like commissar on duty is trying to redirect your initial query into “correct” result.

    a whole other thing going on…

  5. and the other great one!

    Axelrod: Government is just too darn big for Obama to know what goes on…

    The government is simply too big for President Obama to keep track of all the wrongdoing taking place on his watch, his former senior adviser, David Axelrod, told MSNBC. “Part of being president is there’s so much beneath you that you can’t know because the government is so vast,” he explained.

    Here’s a novel idea: If the federal bureaucracy is “too vast” for the President to manage, wouldn’t it make sense to shrink the government rather than grow it? Food for thought…

    At another point in the same interview, Axelrod defended the Department of Justice’s decision to track the phones of reporters in order to plug a intel leak.

  6. So, Hell freezes over. I agree with Chris Matthews.

    Of course, having made a good point, he will not understand the full ramifications of it.

    The government, Chris, on many levels but particularly the Federal, has LOST LEGITIMACY.

    It is openly declaring it has no real responsibility, no accountability but yet it wants more and more power and more and more of our money?

    For WHAT?

    If you openly declare to the voters and taxpayers that your are not really running things, that you are not in control, that you don’t have power to actually do things, then what they hell do we need you for? Why do we need to submit ourselves to you?

    If you are unable to control and manage a department in your own government, then how are we supposed to believe you can manage the business of every citizen in the nation?

    This is not, or should not be, a right/left issue. It is basic logic.

    The government is openly admitting it is incompetent and not up to the task. Why do so many refuse to acknowledge that fact, and act accordingly?

  7. I’ve often wondered how the media never noticed that Obama rarely went to work. It seems he is always on the road giving speeches and hustling money. He takes lots of vacations. He visits countries around the globe. He plays golf frequently for a man of his responsibilities. He entertains musicians at the White House during the week.

    Does he have any idea what is going on?

  8. Tingles is now talking all this stuff with obama has to do with white supremecy

  9. Voting is not the only power held by the people. We also, largely, or partially, influence the market… of goods and services, of ideas and material things, including people.

    Government is not the solution. It is compromised of people who are competing interests, which cannot be permitted monopoly status or enjoy monopoly behaviors. A democratic consensus does not endow or guarantee that these people will have superior knowledge, skill, ethics, or morality. Witness their redistributive change schemes which cause dissociation of risk and thereby sponsor corruption. Witness a devaluation of human life through normalization of abortion and other dysfunctional behaviors. There must be a mutually effective set of checks and balances, including oversight in order to limit progressive corruption.
