Netrooter Smacks Elizabeth Edwards
Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake and Sen. Joe Lieberman blackface infamy lectured Elizabeth Edwards:
So here’s the rule. You never repeat right wing talking points to attack your own, ever. You never enter that echo chamber as a participant. Ever. You never give them a hammer to beat the left with. Just. Don’t. Do. It.
…
We love you. We want to love you.
Knock it off.
Now, what did Mrs. Edwards do to get this smackdown? She criticized the MoveOn.org “Gen. Betray Us” ad.
Hamsher’s post drips with arrogance. She lays claim to being “your first line of defense, the only messaging machine that progressives have.”
Therefore, she gets to tell John Edwards’ wife what to say and what not to say.
Hamsher has completely internalized Eli Pariser’s far Left statement in 2004: ““We bought it, we own it, and we’re going to take it back.”
And when Democrats fail to win the White House in 2008 Hamsher won’t take any responsibility for pushing them too far to the Left. Instead, she’ll gripe they weren’t listening to her enough.
