Progressive Bloggers Are More Pro-Obama Than Obama
— Ace

So says this National Journal piece.

When Jay Carney was grilled at length by Jonathan Karl of ABC News over an email outlining administration talking points in the wake of the 2012 Benghazi attack, it was not, by the reckoning of many observers, the White House press secretary's finest hour. Carney was alternately defensive and dismissive, arguably fueling a bonfire he was trying to tamp down.

But Carney needn't have worried. He had plenty of backup.

He had The New Republic's Brian Beutler dismissing Benghazi as "nonsense." He had Slate's David Weigel, along with The Washington Post's Plum Line blog, debunking any claim that the new email was a "smoking gun." Media Matters for America labeled Benghazi a "hoax." Salon wrote that the GOP had a "demented Benghazi disease." Daily Kos featured the headline: "Here's Why the GOP Is Fired Up About Benghazi—and Here's Why They're Wrong." The Huffington Post offered "Three Reasons Why Reviving Benghazi Is Stupid—for the GOP."


It's been a familiar pattern since President Obama took office in 2009: When critics attack, the White House can count on a posse of progressive writers to ride to its rescue. Pick an issue, from the Affordable Care Act to Ukraine to the economy to controversies involving the Internal Revenue Service and Benghazi, and you'll find the same voices again and again, on the Web and on Twitter, giving the president cover while savaging the opposition. And typically doing it with sharper tongues and tighter arguments than the White House itself.

But are they all being honest?


Backing your friends and belittling your enemies is a healthy business model, one rewarded by a torrent of clicks, retweets, "likes," and links. "The incentives are to play ball," says one former liberal blogger, "not to speak truth to power. More clicks. More action. Partisanship drives clicks."

If someone is a progressive I'd expect him to peddle a progressive ideological line most of the time, and I wouldn't consider that dishonest. Wrong, yes, but not dishonest. It does not bother me at all that Dave Weigel, for example, would think Obama is right on all ideological points.

What makes me wonder about him is when he is also effusively pro-Obama (or rather: Effusively anti-any-criticism-of-Obama) about non-ideological points, like whether or not Obama told the truth in the aftermath of Benghazi.

Whether a man has told the truth about an event is a strictly non-ideological matter. He either did, or he did not. There is no theory of politics here that would tend to push an ideologue towards answering the question one way or another.

Someone could honestly always believe in the progressive ideological line, but it's a bit hard to believe that these progressive bloggers also believes that Obama has conducted himself faultlessly as regards every non-ideological grounds.

This is where hackery and herd discipline come into play.

11 Whether a man has told the truth about an event is a strictly non-ideological matter. He either did, or he did not. You're wrong. The ends justify the means. Ergo, as an ideological matter, it is not wrong for Obama to have lied. In addition, because the people tend to have these quaint religious notions that lying is wrong, Weigel must also lie about Obama's lies to make it appear that Obama is upright and honest. Therefore, lying about lying is an ideological matter, not a partisan one.

18 If the bloggers were neutral about non-ideological points, they'd be left-leaning moderates. They're being accurate in their self-labeling as progressives. What needs to change is the acceptance of that hackery as 'substantive' but you can't get there from here.

27 You see this at the amateur webzine Slate all the time.

Their articles alternate between:

- Republicans are stupid/evil
- Republicans want to TAKE AWAY YOUR FREEDOM!!!!!!!
- Here is excuse #9273 why Obama should be let off the hook for whatever has happened lately

there is very little about ideology or philosophy or substance at all.  they are just trolling for clicks.  that is all they really do.  and I suspect that is pretty much all that they do on the left.

it makes me wonder if they even have a core ideology at all.  or if it is all just mindlessly following Obama and reflexive hate of Republicans.

37 Obama could stomp live puppies to death in the Oval Office on prime-time TV and the progressives would credit him with reducing the burden of dog over-population. MSNBC would call FOX extremists for reporting on it, and Salon would call it a "phony scandal". Harry Reid would blame the Koch Brothers, Nancy Pelosi would say we had to stomp the puppies to see what was in them and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz would complain that Republicans were using using this issue to raise campaign cash on the backs of dead puppies.

44 Whether a man has told the truth about an event is a strictly non-ideological matter. He either did, or he did not. There is no theory of politics here that would tend to push an ideologue towards answering the question one way or another. Of course there is. If your ideology is post-modern Progressivism, then the very question of truth or falsity is in and of itself ideological. There are substantial portions of the Left who view everything, yes, even the definition of reality, through a political lens. When those on the Left rolls their eyes and say Benghazi is a "hoax", something that still takes my breath away, that is a sincerely held position. It is inconceivable to the holders of such a worldview that those on the Right are looking into Benghazi from a non-political standpoint. Everything is political. Everything. It is a mindset in which the deaths of Ambassador Stevens and Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty are meaningless. What is important is not their deaths and the attack on an embassy facility. What is important is how such an event is perceived politically. It is a mindset that thus presumes that those who claim to be horrified by the deaths are necessarily lying because the deaths are merely a happenstance. The important part is the spin. What is a lie? If the President made a statement that was counter to facts, it is because such a statement spoke to a greater meaning and good. As such, that statement is true because the purpose behind the statement was to advance progressive ideals. Any opposition thereto is opposition to Progressive ideals and thus illegitimate and itself politically oriented. Or, tl;dr, who cares about reality so long as the Left keeps power.

The left truly believes in certain sayings... that all Men are created equal (and thus must have equal results, except for the liberal elite that is)... That you can fool some of the people, ALL of the time... (and if you fool enough, you can be Precedent!) And... the Perception IS Reality... thus if they do not Perceive it is a Lie... to them it cannot be... and if they can convince others that he did not lie, that it changes the underling Reality. They truly think that if they can change enough peoples minds... it changes REAL Reality.... (Man Made Global warming... er change... er disruption... is a case in point).

Posted by: Seems legit at May 09, 2014 01:16 PM (A98Xu) The problem is that they're backing a Team (in honesty- that Team backs them, too) whereas Conservatives back an ideal. When people fail to meet that ideal, we have a knee-jerk reaction to "name-and-shame." Sometimes that knee-jerk reaction is right, sometimes it's wrong. They, on the other hand, are more like a bunch of professional sports players (pick a team game) where when someone screws up, the immediate response is to find some way to excuse it and tell them, "You'll get 'em next time!"

Intentions cannot change truth to lie and lie to truth. Something either is or is not. Your argument isn't that they believe that it's truth, it's that they don't care. They only care about the ends. The lies are justified, not turned into truth.

>>>Benghazi is fraught with import for the future of both parties.

 

I agree

Yet, taken with a strict stick-up-the-butt neutrality, Benghazi itself is not necessarily the issue. You can say/prove that security was a concern, that security wasn't beefed up, and that people were killed [likely by Al-Q]. What you can't *prove* as of yet is whether military aid was available, en route and turned back, cancelled, etc.

 

You can also, I think, plausibly if not provably say that the admin distracted attention away from Benghazi by pursuing an internet video maker. Which tends to argue any repercussions will be due to the coverups and denials rather than the killings and failure to help.

 

Its shameful and far less than any of them deserve but thats how it goes down if at all. Then it'll be back to business as usual.

 

If anyone thinks this all ends when Obama gets out of office, they just don't get it.

135 From wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakub_(Nation_of_Islam) Yakub (sometimes spelled Yacub or Yakob) is, according to the Nation of Islam (NOI), a black scientist who lived "6,600 years ago" and was responsible for creating the white race to be a "race of devils". He did this through a form of selective breeding referred to as "grafting", while living on the island of Patmos. The Nation of Islam theology claims that Yakub is the biblical Jacob. Traditional Muslims do not have this belief, or anything similar to it. The story has caused disputes within the NOI during its history. Under its current leader Louis Farrakhan, the NOI continues to assert the truth of the story of Yakub, stating that modern science is consistent with it.

152 More wiki: he story of Yakub was originated in the writings of Wallace Fard Muhammad, the founder of the Nation of Islam, in his doctrinal Q&A pamphlet Lost Found Moslem Lesson No. 2.[1] It was developed by his successor Elijah Muhammad in several writings, most fully in a chapter entitled "The Making of Devil" in his book Message to the Blackman in America.[2] Yakub said to have been born in Mecca at a time when 30% of original black people were "dissatisfied".[3] He was a member of the Meccan branch of the Tribe of Shabazz. Yakub acquired the nickname "big head", because of his unusually large head and his arrogance. At the age of six, he discovered the law of attraction and repulsion by playing with magnets made of steel.[4] This insight led to a dastardly plan to create new people. He "saw an unlike human being, made to attract others, who could, with the knowledge of tricks and lies, rule the original black man."[4] By the age of 18, he had exhausted all knowledge in the universities of Mecca. He then discovered that the "original black man" contained both a "black germ" and a "brown germ". With 59,999 followers, he went to the island of Patmos, where he established a despotic regime and set about breeding out the black traits, killed all darker babies, and created a brown race after 200 years. Yakub died at the age of 152, but his followers carried on his work. After 600 years of this deliberate eugenics, the white race was created.[5] The brutal conditions of their creation determined the evil nature of the new race: "by lying to the black mother of the baby, this lie was born into the very nature of the white baby; and, murder for the black people was also born in them — or made by nature a liar and murderer".[2] The new race traveled to Mecca where they caused so much trouble they were exiled to "West Asia (Europe), and stripped of everything but the language....Once there, they were roped in, to keep them out of Paradise....The soldiers patrolled the border armed with swords, to prevent the devils from crossing."[2] For many centuries they lived a barbaric life, surviving naked in caves and eating raw meat, but eventually they were drawn out of the caves by Moses who "taught them to wear clothes". Moses tried to civilize them, but eventually gave up and blew up 300 of the most troublesome of them with dynamite.[6] However, they had learned to use "tricknology" to usurp power and enslave the black population, bringing the first slaves to America on a ship under the "devil" John Hawkins in the 1555.[7] According to The Autobiography of Malcolm X, all the races other than the black race were byproducts of Yakub's work, as the "red, yellow and brown" races were created during the "bleaching" process;[3] however, the "black race" included Asian peoples, considered to be shared ancestors of the Moors. "Whites" were defined as Europeans. Elijah Muhammad also asserted that some of the new white race "tried to graft themselves back into the black nation, but they had nothing to go by." As a result, they became gorillas. "A few were lucky enough to make a start, and got as far as what you call the gorilla. In fact, all of the monkey family are from this 2,000 year history of the white race in Europe."[2] According to NOI doctrine, Yakub's progeny were destined to rule for 6,000 years before the original black peoples of the world regained dominance, a process that had begun in 1914.[8][9][10]

An ambassador was fucking MURDERED (in a hostile country on the ANNIVERSARY of 911!)under their watch and all the American people get is a generation twitter fucktard from the press claiming "dude, that was like two years ago.."  So what is this now, TLADGAF?  (too long ago don't give a fuck).  Is this what our country has devolved into?  A complacent uneducated population eagerly devouring the spoon fed White House lies from our supposed objective press?

I repeat.  An ambassador in a hostile country on the anniversary of the worst Jihad attack America has ever suffered was murdered in the streets after being dragged from the ambushed compound that was DENIED extra security from the CRIMINAL administration!

I mean, WHAT THE FUCK?!

They expect us to believe that the poor bastard (who is STILL in jail thanks to this band of thugs in DC) who made a video denouncing Islam started this whole thing?  I don't fucking think so. 

If it smells like shit, tastes like shit, and feels like shit, it's most likely a coverup from the TOP down.

Fuck this president.

Fuck his entire administration.

And most of all, fuck the media for installing this destructive tool into the White House.

MSNBC would call FOX extremists for reporting on it, and Salon would call it a "phony scandal". Harry Reid would blame the Koch Brothers, Nancy Pelosi would say we had to stomp the puppies to see what was in them and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz would complain that Republicans were using using this issue to raise campaign cash on the backs of dead puppies.

174 Great. Here comes another whiny bitch stompy feet temper tantrum. http://tinyurl.com/l86kunm The House of Representatives on Friday overwhelmingly approved permanent tax relief for companies engaged in research and development, despite a warning from the White House that President Barack Obama would veto the legislation. Members approved the American Research and Competitiveness Act in an easy 274-131 vote. Despite ObamaÂ’s veto threat, 62 Democrats voted for the bill along with nearly every Republican. The legislation from Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) simplifies the way companies can calculate a tax break on research and development, and makes that relief permanent. But that change would eliminate more than $150 billion in tax revenues for the federal government over 10 years, which had prompted the White House to issue a veto threat.

177 Once again, up until the nonsense about the video Benghazi was just a case - a fairly serious case - of bad judgment at State. But in this case you had a SecState with future ambitions who had spent her entire term at Foggy Bottom doing absolutely nothing, so as to ensure that nothing could ever be blamed on her. The most direct parallel in recent memory was Mogadishu. That happened on Bill's watch and I'm absolutely certain Hillary saw Les Aspin's humiliation and resignation very clearly. Now, clearly, from the standpoint of any honorable and conscientious administration, the cleanest answer to the whole thing is accountability. Thanks Hillary, we have a nice resignation letter ready for you. We know Obama and his crowd are neither honorable nor conscientious, but even so why did they take upon themselves the fabrication of the coverup? Why did the fools rush into a situation where angels would have pulled up the ladder and let Hillary answer for her department? The hubris that they could get away with any lie? Paranoia about ever being seen to be wrong? Terror that Hillary knows enough to have Obama doing the Full Nixon?

204 They support Teh Won on the non-ideological because they are morally adrift, their politics easily trumping any moral compass they ever had.   Preezy's ongoing and intentional "lies" about pretty much everything is acceptable to these hardcores.  In the end, they share the same end, and the lies (whether on policy or in Obama's personal/political interest) are one of the means for that common end.  If you tell them, "that [insert wrongdoing] only benefits Obama the person" ,  they don't care. 

So too does their immoral compass not only allow Obama (which as President was unthinkable) to use his office to punish US citizens for differing with Obama on his policies (e.g., Tea Parties-IRS) but that compass allows they themselves to join in that  attack on their fellow Americans.  And destroying their lives, if possible, as retribution for dissent and to discourage others.  The scariest part is that some of these lefty bloggers assist and report on these attacks with relish, only satisfied in the end with complete victory.  They are a really sick bag of dicks.

216 Then it's a lie. If it's contrary to the facts, that makes it, by definition, NOT TRUE. If a not truth is pushed as truth, that is a lie. It might be an expedient lie or a worthwhile lie or even a necessary lie, but a lie cannot be truth. Intentions cannot change truth to lie and lie to truth. Something either is or is not. Your argument isn't that they believe that it's truth, it's that they don't care. They only care about the ends. The lies are justified, not turned into truth.

235 This is where hackery and herd discipline come into play. Posted by: Ace at 12:57 PM Ace, you're letting these f'n guys off the hook too easy. Because hackery and herd instinct are only a small part of what the left and mainstream (but I repeat myself) do to insulate Obama. Sycophants. Palace guard. State-run media (Rush term). These are more accurate, and suggest more than merely being careerist and looking the other way at certain facts. It explains going the extra distance and eviscerating anyone personally for opposing policy. It explains the wink and a nod overlooking of flat-out lies told about people who oppose leftism. It explains "being Okay with" doing what the IRS is doing to squelch political opposition, which would never be tolerable (and rightly so) if used on them. They're not hacks. They are active partisans helping their cause, using the cover of the 1st amendment and regular folks' disposition to believe them.

Relatedly, I saw the headline for Odumbass Gallup approval, and thought to myself "people on the left will just refuse to think critically of other people on the left".  That is a huge advantage.

On the right, our critical thinking (because that's part of being a conservative or libertarian) will drive down numbers of our own side if we don't think they are up to snuff.  If we had the same ideological thinking, W. never would have made it into the 30's on approval.

Don't play fight me We won't tussle straight up I'mma bust ya shit whitey You'll rupture, your structure's narrow My body is the bow, the left, the right jab, the arrow So who's next to test?

256 No, my argument is certain portions of the Left reject the very notion of objective reality. There is no objective truth. There are no objective facts. There is only the advancement of power and any statements made or actions taken to advance that power are true as those statements and actions are aligned with the Left's values. Yes, that is a purposeful choice of phrase. Truth and falsity are viewed solely through the prism of power and power differentials. It's Derrida and Foucault and Rawls on steroids. Now, this is insane, in a very literal sense, and many of those who believe this do not understand the intellectual underpinnings of their beliefs. But that's what it is. Posted by: alexthechick - SMOD/Orion Death Star 2016 at May 09, 2014 01:52 PM (mf5HN) All of which matters not one whit.

Actions exist. They can cry and scream and pout at daddy all they want, it doesn't change objective reality. And truth is part of that reality. I can believe with all my heart that the pen is blue, but if the pen is actually red, my beliefs are false.

The unstoppable death-machine has always only been orchestrated by the homo rapiens. By men. YOU. Women are not and have never been responsible for the atrocities committed by men, for men’s global industrial rape and death system. By lying and deceiving you are continuing to be part of the problem, because you are masking the fact that the obvious solution all the time, long before the extinction of all life was impending, was to depopulate the earth of males or to reduce them to manageable levels again – only by doing so would have men’s patriarchal and industrial necrophilic sado-system come to an end without destroying the rest of life.

297 Look, us menz only do that stuff becoz you wimmenz keep telling us to stop and ask for directions, plus put the seat down. We're basically neanderthal-brains. You can prove it pretty easy: Just tell a man there's a hot chick at the bottom of this cliff that wants to have sex with him and he's all AAAAGGGHHH *thump*

298 Women are not and have never been responsible for the atrocities committed by men, for menÂ’s global industrial rape and death system. You think she typed that on a hand-knitted keyboard made of hand-processed fair-trade sustainably-farmed wood?

299 The big question is, will Michelle stay officially married to him to stay on the gravy train or is she delusional enough to think she has her own gravy train? Posted by: AmishDude at May 09, 2014 02:13 PM (T0NGe) See Hillary Clinton. Marriage means nothing to Liberals. Like everything else, it's for show. Watch for the MFM to pivot from their focus on how glamorous she is to how unprecedented she has been and FLOTUS and how much "Change" she has brought about for The Middle Class by only the work of her exceptionally toned arms over the next year or so. We've already started to see increased focus on show smart she is, her law degree, and how she "overcame obstacles", blah, blah, blah...

300 Now, I'm washing lettuce. Soon, I'll be on fries. Then on the grill. In a year or two, I'll be a herd-following liberal hack blogger - and that's where the big bucks are.

301 >>No way. UN Secretary General or nothing Here's the thing: Obama doesn't like to work or have to deliver anything tangible/held accountable for results. Obama needs something that will provide him the opportunity to travel and speechify about how things should be while being surrounded by VIPs (not the rifraf crowds). That's it. So I suspect he'll go the Clinton Global Initiative route and be on one non-stop conference/speech/vacation/fundraising junket.

302 282 On a scale of 1 to 10, where does she fall in the cray-cray continuum?  Posted by: EC at May 09, 2014 02:04 PM (GQ8sn)  ---------- I have too much respect for you, EC, to go off. you're too F'ing intelligent to talk like a ratchet bitch. I REALLY hate that ghetto talk.

304 >>See Hillary Clinton. Yep, Michelle will be se up somewhere nice like Hawaii with all the perks Obama can afford, which will be paid for w/his speaking fees and proceeds from his *next* autobiography. Meanwhile, he'll be traveling, saving the world, and surrounded by the "body men" of his choice. Maybe Reggie, or Kal Penn, Marvin Nicholson....

305 See Hillary Clinton. But Michelle Obama loathes Hillary and would hate the comparison.

306 Obama won't be UN Secretary General. The first time he's seen to be against something the US is for, it will make all the moonbats who believed he was a foreigner all along look good. They can't have that. I could see him becoming a SCOTUS Justice, and that would be a sad day.

307 So we are to have an Oliver North Obama? Gun running. What's all this talk of gun running?

308 Perhaps Imperial Administrator of the Solar System would be a grander title. As long as he sets up his throne on the Sun, I'm down with it.

309 Not a cult, remember.

Why don't we call it what it is, a bunch of lying, amoral partisan shills with the intellectual honesty of pond scum?

I mean, these are the same people who screamed "Bush Lied!  People Died!" not too long ago, and seem unable to grasp that people died, and Obama lied (and continues to lie).

Idiots, hyperpartisan idiots and liars, ALL of them.

310 "There is no theory of politics here that would tend to push an ideologue towards answering the question one way or another."
Sure there is: the tribal theory of politics. Always protect your guys, always attack theirs, no matter what the truth is or the facts are. Truth is irrelevant. Power is all that matters. You can betray everything you have ever stated or claim to believe in as long as it helps your side and/or hurts the enemy.

311 At least here Dave Weigel is recognized as a leftist hack propagandist. He still has some of our friends on the right fooled. To the left, lying not only is NOT a sin, it is an accepted tactic - even a preferred one where the truth may be embarrassing to the Cause. So the ideologues on blogs and their counterparts in media don't worry so much about truth as "controlling the narrative." That's why Ezra Klein is so obsessed with "explaining the news" and not allowing "bare facts" which might "confuse" the public, going back to his secret email propaganda cabal "Journolist," and now through Vox. The rest of the potential Obama supporters and/or Democratic voters are either just too stupid to notice the lies, or else they just don't care as long as their federal gravy keeps flowing.
