Reed Hundt at TPM takes an avuncular tone arguing for reason and strategy in the liberal blogosphere. I’ll tilt at that windmill with him:
… What bloggers need to do is focus now on the madness and not on the Clinton vs Obama counterpoint, which all of us can agree is getting old. What all Democrats need to do is step up as an army of surrogates and defend our candidates for all office, including both Clinton and Obama, and everyone running for mayor or Congress or anything else. It’s time for all Democrats to talk about shunning these media hacks (when you see Kristol and Brooks on TV just turn the channel; wrestling is more honest)and blowing the whistle on the media that parrots the contumely. And on every issue Democrats have to fight back with specifics and details and an unrelenting focus on what Americans really care about. Neither Clinton nor Obama can do this by themselves. It will take a whole community to stand up against the attack machine; it is greased and efficient and deeply embedded in the media culture. …
The Secret Word is… “Farkakte”
