Useful Idiots At Netroots Nation

Our "liberal media" is having a fun time with this year's Netroots Nation conference in Minneapolis, and it's hard for them not to pass out from sheer ecstasy when Russ Feingold's keynote speech is all about how evil Obama is for taking corporate money, and Dan Choi is ripping up Obama flyers and saying he won't support the President.

Needless to say, "progressives hate Obama" is the only story that matters to the Village.  Even Howard Dean got in on the action.

Former DNC chairman Howard Dean also addressed the opening day of the conference, noting that “grousing about the president is a stage we have to go through.” Dean said he will continue to support the president, but rather than focus on Obama, he suggested, people should focus on what they can do in their own communities.

“We are responsible for the change we can believe in,” he said. “Change does not come from Washington, DC. Change comes from the bottom up.”

“Politicians follow. They don’t lead. We lead, collectively, all of us.”

So at best, Obama needs to be bypassed.  That's a super message to have going into the campaign silly season.  And people wonder why the media doesn't take progressives seriously enough, and how the Republicans got control of the House along with dozens of state legislatures in 2010.

Ripping up flyers is certainly going to solve all our problems, eh?
