Yeah, Jane is an absolute monster. FDL is an utter joke, and they employ that shit bag authoritarian Tbogg who would probably turn in Anne Frank. If it makes you feel any better, apparently Jane’s life is falling apart. Schadenfreude and all that.

Shit, I remember her from back in the punk rock days when she did her little fanzine with all those ads…Jane Hamsher, now entering her fourth decade of commodifying rebellion

Should ignore “Hollywood” re this Jane Hamsher. She had a bit of non-creative success, but unable to sustain, petered out, had no choice other than to leave and try other things. That’s okay, happens all the time, for any of a thousand reasons. Karma, of course, may factor.

Forget Hamsher. I quit FDL when she went on FOX urging defeat of the Health Care Bill.

Censoring or deleting comments is one thing. Rewording them in filthy goatfucking, sphincter-tonguing language is like totally, way fucking different. The comment above is NOT nearly as idiotic and bigoted as what I actually wrote, so kudos to the monitor for improving my retarded shit-sneezing original comment. If I have any shred of non-retarded mental capabilities remaining I would be able to grasp the fact that you will no sooner restore my original wording and add an apology than I would have a fucking clue about what the fuck I’m doing on this planet, or why I haven’t swallowed a bottle of Dran-O for the good of all mankind.

“(Comments can and will be censored at whim and without warning.)” Hmm. I specially like the “at whim” element.

Is it just me, or does my comment read like it is written by a retard? A mean-machined, foul-breathed person with anterior motives. Probably might as well shut my fucking mouth because I’m really not worthy of much here. Thank god though for this, keeping the riff-raff away:

“(Comments can and will be censored at whim and without warning.)”

Thank you, at least one site cleans up the filth!

TO Mike Elk: read about this crap from Jane Hamsher on The Obama Diary and just want to tell you that I admire you very much, and I so respect your standing up those on the so-called PL who are basically wolves in sheep’s clothing.
You are stronger for it and you have much, much respect.
Good for you.

Hamsher has a vindictive and cruel side that has become more apparent.

great comment, Mike.
I’ve been wanting to write a blog, “ARE JANE HAMSHER and RACHEL MADDOW two (BOTH of ‘em) radical right-wing Neo-Con WARMONGERS?” !!!

yep… these two may PRETEND to be “Liberal Democratic ACTIVIST leaders” but they JUST…. CAN’T… SEEM…. TO…. NOTICE… the GODDAMN-SACHS…. hostile LBO takeover HIJACKING of the late ‘Democratic” Party. I wish, I said i WISH I could link to an Elders of Zion conspiracy website, but like always those damn Jew Elders (who want to mate with our fine Dixieland women and dirty their purity) foiled my plans by implanting a bug in my brain that stopped me from doing so!

When so-called “Change” candidate Barack Obama selected TWO of BSUH-II’s RETREADS, little timmy geithner and “back door THEFT of your savings by FREE MONEY from the Fed to member/owner Wall Street mega-banks” BEN BERNANKE to lead his (obama’s) administration’s financial/economic policy, anyone with more neurons than a garden slug knew that this was NOT “change” – it was BUSH-III, ON STEROIDS, of the DIRECT “bailouts” EXTORTION of Taxpayers to serve the high & mighty on Wall St.

Well, “more neurons than a garden slug” doesn’t seem to include HAMSHER or MADDOW – you can go 1,000 days, before you hear either of them complain about Obama’s infestation of his administration with FORMER GOLDDAMN-SACHS CHAIRMAN Bob Rubin minions & toadies
(RAHM EMANUEL to be his Chief of Staff, Larry Summers directing Econ policy, Geithner at Treasury, FULL GS PARTNER Gary Gensler at CFTC, AWOL mary schapiro at SEC, jared bernstein telling Biden what to do, Jacob Lew & Peter Orzag in revolving doors to Wall St, etc. etc. etc. ad naseum – alas you cant see the link)!

Jane Hamsher formed an alliance of convenience with Grover Nordquist to fight the ACA, which pretty much says it all.

“We want a public option, & we’ll kill the end of recission & every other reform in this bill to (never) get it, no matter who dies in the meantime” wasn’t exactly breathtaking political genius.

It is rumored that one of the pet projects of the Melman-Rove Golden Age Of GOP Ratfucking was to inject phony “liberal activists” into the Democratic Party whose sole job was/is to stir shit up & foster pointless infighting & debate over trivia, thus keeping their opponents busy with each other while the GOP operated as a lock-step solid political bloc.

The inability to read of America’s leaders is simply, truly amazing:

“What I said is I heard someone in the labor movement call you a Botox liberal and I defended you against it. I never called you that, I defended you against the people that did…Please Jane this isn’t Hollywood this is journalism engage in some seriously constructive dialogue and read what others were saying.”

And the response:

“Jane Hamsher wrote:

Let’s list them:

“I wouldn’t want Jane Hamsher as my shop steward”
“Botox liberal”
“Hollywood”

You’re basically incapable of making an argument based on reason and fact. Every attempt anyone has made to engage you in rational discussion have been met with tribalism, demagoguery, and sexist and dismissive slurs.”

Reading Comprehension fail. I wonder if she completed Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” Program. Perhaps, as Dubya said: “it’s time for [American Leaders] to enter the Solar System!”

Except I wouldn’t call Ames, “oppressed”. He’s a damn good Gonzo Journalist, with a following that’ll defend him. After his stellar coverage of the Ossetian War, the Kremlin learned not to block this website, the hard way. At least they’re quick learners, and don’t bitch when they lose, unlike the Jamestown Foundation, they take it, learn, and move on. Ames is a damn good journalist, but he isn’t oppressed.

All ideologies are obsolete. Liberalism is dead. Conservatism is irrelevant. Idealism is hallucination. The world cannot and need not be saved.

Techno-fascist transhumanist transcendence is the only way forward for Earth-based life. The stupid masses have nothing to offer and must be strictly controlled by their superiors. All power is accumulating in the hands of post-ideological super-intelligent machine-man networks.

Intelligence + Technology + Will = Power. Everything else is conversation.

And for those asking “Who Cares” and “Why is this important” the reason is this: Jane Hamsher has become the the face of the progressive dem movement and gets a TON of air time on cable channels.
If you are a democrat, she has become the poster child representing YOU and YOUR ideology. She has become your media spokesperson to the world. That is why this is important.

I have watched Hamsher get into twitter arguments with people who don’t toe her line and it is incredibly frustrating to see.
She often pulls the misogynist card, she routinely will take a word or phrase out of context and twist it into it’s new meaning over and over and over again. She will call on RW peer’s she knows from cable news to attack another dem supporter. She will spread rumors like a 9th grade cheerleader. And the worst part of all of it is that she is the “go to” progressive we see on tv supposedly representing the “movement” when half the progressives disagree with her positions.
If you publicly disagree with her, she will put you into an enemy corner and sic whoever she can on you-anonymous, tea party tweeters,her fan club. It’s a pathetic thing to watch and I honestly wish she would just go away.

Ah, yes, the Hamsher Hypocrisies. Among my favorites: taking ad money from BP for her “Common Sense Media” organization whilst simultaneously hammering the Sierra Club for receiving money from BP. I’m convinced she’s not really a liberal or progressive, but in fact a libtertarian douchewad like her buddy Greenwald.

I would start looking into the insane manipulative-exploitative relationships hamster maintains with her staff to keep it going. She’s obviously at least mildly sociopathic, maybe totally sociopathic. She would have succeeded in any line of business, because it’s all about how comfortable you are at telling people what to do

helplesscase at #25 above has finally said what most needed saying: “scab.” More particularly, cyber-scab. That fits Jane to a “t.”

Labor needs to understand that Jane Hamsher is a new breed of anti-worker propagandist, the cyber-scab, and needs to spread the word far and wide.
