I gave you some publications that I didn't think were "far left".<br /><br />The piece analyzes Marcus' defense of Obama's national security policy not which publication is far left, liberal, and non ideological. <br /><br />You are fixated on a throw away line about Daily Kos being far left. That has almost nothing to do with the piece itself.mike volpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999118519606254362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-86710876736279000962009-05-25T11:28:58.655-07:002009-05-25T11:28:58.655-07:00I asked why you mentioned Slate and Politico as be...I asked why you mentioned Slate and Politico as being non-ideological when I asked you what you considered liberal but not far left.<br /><br />To reiterate, I'm asking about your comment, not your post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-63424793461062853102009-05-25T09:47:00.315-07:002009-05-25T09:47:00.315-07:00What are you talking about?

I mentioned Daily Kos and Huffington Post in passing to point out that I am sure that there are those outlets that are defending the President on this issue but I don't read every single outlet. <br /><br />Now, you are fixated on some argument that is happening in your mind only. Like I said, I don't think it is controversial to call Daily Kos far left.

Or do you just summarily label everything to the left of Ronald Reagan "far" as a way to make them sound illegitimate enough that you don't have to seriously consider it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
