Obama advisor David Axelrod held a conference call today as part of a White House effort to enlist the help of liberal bloggers to fire up the base in the final weeks of the mid-term elections, but Greg Sargent reports that it didn’t exactly go smoothly:
Top Obama adviser David Axelrod got an earful of the liberal blogosphere’s anger at the White House moments ago, when a blogger on a conference call directly called out Axelrod over White House criticism of the left, accusing Axelrod of “hippie punching.”
“We’re the girl you’ll take under the bleachers but you won’t be seen with in the light of day,” the blogger, Susan Madrak of Crooks and Liars, pointedly told Axelrod on the call, which was organzied for liberal bloggers and progressive media.

I don't understand. I thought Obama was the most radical leftist president in American history. What could these people be complaining about?

Democrats are like scorpions in a bottle. Whenever two of them are together, they are fighting. Republicans are often like sheep, while Democrats are sharks.

What you don't understand is that no matter how much Obama does for the cause, it will never be enough. Leftists never stop and are never satisfied.

Sounds like little Susie Madrak has experience being THAT girl. Note to Susie: When you let 'em take you under the bleachers without even so much as dinner and a movie, don't expect any respect. Grow up and start showing a little self-respect, then you might get more from others.

I think it's great that these commies are turning on each other. And they have good precedent too. Stalin had dozens of top level Lenin supporters, including Trotsky, murdered after Lenin's death. And they all deserved it too. Too bad nobody took out Stalin. Maybe Hitler could have done it, but the USA, unfortunately, helped the Soviets defeat Hitler instead of allowing them to both annihilate each other.
Anyway, lets hope the socialists, commies, progressives and their first cousins, nazis, destroy each other.

The American taxpayer-voters will hopefully take this administration and its radical enablers in congress 'under the bleachers' in November of 2010 and 2012, and [just as hopefully] they will never again be seen in public [or at least in politics]!!!!!!!!!!!!
