"<br /><br />And it was aided and abetted by Kos (through his minion Meteor Blades) allowing it to go on unchecked. It was when I realized that this was not just an attempt by Jane's minions to take over the site, but it was being encouraged that I left. MB did not like my response to his e-mail asking why. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-56660338379369297392011-07-20T17:28:44.099-05:002011-07-20T17:28:44.099-05:00We all need to email Ed Schultz to let him know ho...We all need to email Ed Schultz to let him know how we feel about Hamsher.

That sentence is very concerning. I think it perfectly exemplifies babyJane's attitude and how she conducts herself.<br /><br />I think it's high time we turn the tables on her. Anytime she appears on news shows painting herself as "Obama's base", we should make sure we contact the show and tell what we know about her.TrumpDognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-1988021508917290372011-07-17T13:30:01.706-05:002011-07-17T13:30:01.706-05:00She owns 22 blog sites.

I will usually visit thepeoplesview on a break at work and start clicking on interesting titles in the blogroll. One site leads to another... <br /><br />I like smartypants, thinkprogress, balloon juice... It's sort of fortunate that dkos made the strategic flub that it did in vacating the grown ups market. I think that, over time, all of these pragprog blogs can grow to something more than a single kos could have even if it hadn't strayed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-73007879643849706162011-07-17T13:22:53.910-05:002011-07-17T13:22:53.910-05:00She lost me with her racist stunt when she was &qu...She lost me with her racist stunt when she was "supporting" the Lamont campaign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-81329230004260278532011-07-17T13:16:10.404-05:002011-07-17T13:16:10.404-05:00It's pretty plain to see imo.It's pretty plain to see imo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-54280517358190472462011-07-17T13:15:40.291-05:002011-07-17T13:15:40.291-05:00Very cool, Smartypants.

The evidence is getting overwhelming that Hamsher is a hack, opportunist, vengeful, doesn't give a flying fuck about real people, and is more concerned with trying to exert some self perceived power over candidates, politicians and even fellow bloggers. Damn I'm glad I blog for the best of the new left blogs, www.angryblacklady.com, where I can say whatever the hell I want. It's paradise over there. #shamelessplugAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-55257923857503086522011-07-17T12:43:01.414-05:002011-07-17T12:43:01.414-05:00It feels to me like the swing you're describin...It feels to me like the swing you're describing at DK happened about the same time Hamsher started paying people to post there. <br /><br />Its hard to avoid wondering if the two are connected.Nancy LeTourneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614317154146836694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-53651277963240384202011-07-17T11:50:20.577-05:002011-07-17T11:50:20.577-05:00Kos is doing a triple axel over a hammerhead anywa...Kos is doing a triple axel over a hammerhead anyway. It used to be a place to organize and share information, strategy, and ideas for getting democrats elected. It was a stubbornly reality based culture. It DOMINATED that market on the left. In a feat of myopia and despite multiple warnings from those who saw it coming, the place has vacated that dominant market share in order to split shares of a much smaller, much less effective, and much less relevant frustrati/firebagger market with no care for the veracity of its statements or sense of any responsibility for its impact. That's why there is now a space being shared by much healthier pragmatic progressive blogs such as BWD's Only Adult in the Room, or The People's View, or this one or Eclectablog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
