Moonbat fratricide: Obama campaign attacks "Firebagger Lefty Blogosphere"
Amanda Terkel, Huffasnuffaluffagus Post
The Obama campaign's point person in New Mexico recently sent an email to supporters defending the president's position on the debt deal and bashing the Nobel Prize winning New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and the "Firebagger Lefty blogosphere."...
"Firebagger" is most likely a combined reference to the liberal blog FireDogLake, founded by Jane Hamster Hamsher, and "Tea Bagger," a less-than-flattering term for Tea Party activists....
UPDATE: 3:24 p.m. -- Hamsher responds: "[I]f this is a brilliant political strategy on the part of OFA, someone is going to have to explain it to me. I know the goal is to attract the much-prized Independent for 2012. But who do they think is keeping Obama's poll numbers afloat? ... What exactly does OFA think they stand to gain by ridiculing Krugman as a 'political rookie,' a hysterical 'fanatic' and an 'idealogue'?
The perception that they're actually in touch with reality, in a way that Paul Krugman isn't?
Do they think they hold so much sway with liberals that they can discredit Krugman and thus neutralize his criticism? This smacks more of narcissism and personal vendetta than any sound political 'strategy.'"
Narcissism? From President Egojunkie McTeleprompter? Naaah, it could never happen! [/sarc]
Down in the comment boxes, the firebaggers are in full DefCon 1 paranoia mode. The first example is from "Angry Chair," a Huffasnuffaluffagus Post "super user":
"It" was an INSIDE JOB
This is the same thing Obama did ahead of the midterm elections: demoralize and insult_the left so they would stay home on election day -- and it worked. Obama, the ringer, is going to give his real party a clean sweep in 2012, then retire to a life of supreme luxury in Hawaii. "Aloha, suc.kers."
I wish, I wish.
Another "super user," calling him/herself "offred," laments:
Well, now we know that the palace guard is isolating Obama, just like Cheney isolated Bush. Unfortunately, it sounds like we seriously misjudged Obama during his presidential campaign.
Making sense of this last one is left as an exercise for the student:
Krugman/progressives /independents >>>>>>>>>>>>>.......Obama, Staffers, Advisors, whole cabinet , Obama bots ,and faux news .
