Lambert, unlike DK, you don't ban folks you disagree with, you merely call them names and belittle them with unsubstantiated assertions. Instead of direct censorship, you prefer the personal smear chill. The censorship of a thousand tiny cuts. I get it. You're not to be challenged. You write the rules. It's your bubble. I get it. You don't move the goalposts, you just take them away.
I've been nothing but transparent about who I am and what I believe, yet you accuse me (multiple times)of being an Obama operative, interesting, since I voted for Hilary in the New York primary, and canvassed for her in the 23rd district in New York in her Senate campaign, a red district that she carried. But because I don't share your Obama rage, I must be an operative.
I know that Hillary has the superior health plan, and her experience on the economy and her promise to bring back the tax rates of the nineties is exciting, yes exciting to me. These helped bring about a balanced budget and gave folks with capital the incentive to invest it, instead of sitting on it. These two policy promises alone will help our economy rebound as soon as we can end the Iraq debacle. Obama has no equivalent plan (even on his web site).
I only wished she would focus on driving these points home with as much creativity and vigor as she does in attacking Obama.
I apologize for attempting to bring a shade of gray into your black and white world. It's clear you don't want me in your club. I won't let the door hit me on the way out.

I missed something
I didn't see the accusation that you were an Obama operative.
Recently this blog has gone very anti-Obama, but there is plenty of room for Obama supporters
lambert annoys me
he's so tolerant, as a site admin. he lets you awful, tiny little trolls come here and shit on our lawn, all in the name of "freedom" and "the constitution." it's tiresome.

RE: Accusations of being an Obama operative: here ya go.
I'm still waiting for Lambert to "clean" that thread out, whatever that means. Don't worry about Lambert, Mike. Poke him a little bit and he turns to self-pity. I'm sure he'll soon list all of the names other people have called him at some point. And then Xenophon will come in and give us yet another data point in support of Godwin's Law.
Unlike Stalin...
...Instead of
banningmurdering his opponents, Lambert merely gives themfront page posting privilegeskittens and ice cream.How insidious.
But I still believe
And I will rise up with fists!!

Incredibly Unfair...
Mike - Corrente is a great place, where ALL views are welcome to be expressed. Simply because all may not agree and persuasive language is used, is no reason to indict the Administrators, etc.
I'll be the first to admit that I often suffer from a "glass jaw" - but if you are going to put your ideas out there, be prepared to be challenged - and at times, even persuaded!! What a tragedy!
But it is unfair to personally attack the character of a person that may disagree with you.
But what do I know?

A friendly tip on how to earn respect at Corrente
Write better posts.
GBCW
Wow, the first GBCW diary I've ever seen on Corrente. (By the way, who says "DK" anyways). I'm always disagreeing with everyone, and I'm not very likeable to begin with, but the good folks here tolerate me.
So, I think you're full of it when it comes to your LB-CT diary. Maybe it makes you feel better to think you are being persecuted or something. Look, if you write un-substantiated talking points around here without any interesting meat to backup your fluffed up croissant, what do you expect. They are pretty smart here, and they catch on quick when someone is a logical, intelligent person willing of discussing ideas. Some people are just here to look for an opening to repeat their talking points.
Like you keep repeating this NY campaign work as if it is relevant to whatever you are saying, like it changes something. You rely on this as a crutch to get in a trojan instead of presenting the arguments on their face value.
GBCW?
i could guess, but then i'd just look stupid.
myself, i prefer "cancel my account!" i really don't think anyone is ever going to top that one. darnit, markos gets all the good trolls.
long history of them
so many people have jumped shipped over the years it has it's own acronym over there. (GBCW = what Jimmy Stewart might say before jumping off a bridge)
There is years of people begging and pleading to have their account deleted and erased, but one thing is above all else over at GOS, the almighty SEO linkage.
Really, intranets? Pointing
Really, intranets? Pointing out the total lack of outrage here when Bill Clinton goes on the Rush Limbaugh show is an unsubstantiated talking point? I guess reality has a pro-Obama bias.
Gay Black Crazy Woman?
No, that couldn't be right.
