Not a week in to the new year and already pwog access bloggers are gearing up for our 2012 election suckfest. Kicking off the festivities - an inevitable round of articles posing: 'Whutarewegonnadooooo?' (You know, "Whither the Democratic Party" and shit.) These get posted ever couple years as a first step of pwog celebs gently leading their fauxgressive flock to an inevitable answer - "More and Better Dems!" (Full points for recycling, guize. But -9000 points for style.)<br /><br />Combining recent crumbs thrown to them by God-Emperor Hopey McChangey Sparkle Pony with the usual wishful thinking, scaremongering and logic so tortured you could call it a <span style="font-style: italic;">Saw</span> flick; our fearless bunch of quivering bootlicks will soon be peddling this Meatloaf of Fail as their reason to give The Other War Party another four years in which to screw up the world. Prime example: Obot Left's "<a href="http://www.openleft.com/diary/21299/a-new-decades-trajectory">Sure We Bombed Several Thousand Afghan Children Into A Red Mist This Year, But - Hey! Lilly Ledbetter!</a>"<br /><br />The only semi-original attempt to keep the access gravy train going has come from Nader-bashing veterans Newspwoggers, who've adopted a hi-<span style="font-style: italic;">lar</span>ious "<a href="http://www.newshoggers.com/blog/2011/01/dear-american-left-forget-2012-try-to-save-2020.html">Wait Until 2020!</a>" strategy to keep the left in line. Sure! Let's sit on our thumbs for a few more years while (brb, thesaurus) Ciceronian councils of patience flow forth from their pwoggie panegyrics (ha!) Can calls to sign up with the Working Families Party (the Dem version of the Tea Party) be far behind?<br /><br />(Update - <a href="http://www.boomantribune.com/story/2011/1/5/151337/0207"><span style="font-style: italic;">Pwogman!</span> issues hit list!</a> Steve the Wonder D dispatched to, er, dispatch disloyal dems!

It allows them to pretend they're engaging in meaningful political action while never having to leave the warm 'n cozy comfort of their local Starbucks. Of course, "internet activism" has the same relationship to real activism as Wii Sports has to real athletics (not-a-fucking-thing) but don't be a lulz killer and tell them that. Otherwise we wouldn't get hilarious blog posts like: <a href="http://www.correntewire.com/open_letter_left_establishment_pre_post_mortem#more">Open Letter to the Left Establishment: Pre-Post-Mortem </a>over at soon-to-be-punted-to-the-Pwoggie-Bloggie-list, Corrente.<br /><br />The post is a tl:dr catalog of butthurt over fauxgressive non-reaction to the titular <a href="http://protestobama.org/">Open Letter</a>, which is itself a tepid plea to famous fauxgressives from slightly-less-famous faugressives to be a little less, well, fauxgressive. So far, this mighty effort has garnered less than the number of e-signatures on the latest <a href="http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?firefly1">'Continue "Firefly" Petition'</a> and elicited exactly zero responses from the targeted Obot celebs. (With the exception of Katrina (party)van dem Eggs who was overheard in the offices of <span style="font-style: italic;">'La Nation</span>' laughing wildly over the petition.)<br /><br />Fortunately, our feckless pwogwessives don't have the first fucking clue where to look for real opposition to the Empire. Though some pwogs have begun <a href="http://www.newshoggers.com/blog/2010/12/tom-watson-on-ddos-anonymous-attacks.html">baaaaw-ing at on-line resistance groups</a>, they're <span style="font-style: italic;">still</span> blissfully clueless when it comes to IRL.

A few brief points, if I may:<br /><br />1. You have no fucking clue what (or who) "the left" is. I dunno, maybe it's because you're a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">lameass</span> democrat. (Don't even bother pretending your not, Josh. Don't even try to tell me you're some kind of vague-ass "independent" who just <span style="font-style: italic;">happens</span> to flack for lesser-evil Democrats. Don't waste the electrons. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Srsly</span>.) Maybe you think you or some faction of your corporate-owned blood-soaked corruption-riddled party is "the left." It isn't, of course. Which brings us to...<br /><br />B. ...the "anti-war movement." No part of your party constitutes, in any way, shape or form, even the most minutest tiniest <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">teensy</span>-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">weensyest</span> part of the anti-war movement. Your party drove a fucking spike through the old anti-war movement back in 2004. It's dead, Jim. It's deader than Van Jones' career. The anti-war movement that's grown up since then, well, I doubt it's even a blip on your Washington Consensus Radar. That's just as well, really.<br /><br />III. If/When you do get back from your little Kabul field trip, and by some massive stroke of misfortune you <span style="font-style: italic;">do </span>figure out what groups constitute the left and the anti-war movement, do us all a favor. <span style="font-style: italic;">Stay as far as fucking away as you can manage.</span> You're party is fucking toxic, Josh. Everything you and your foundation funded think tank corporate <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">demotard</span> flunkies touch turns to absolute shit. You know how Afghanistan is called "the graveyard of empires?" Well your party, the Democrat Party, is the fabulous fabled elephants graveyard of social movements.

The cumulative time spent reading Extreme Obot's blog has left me thinking he's running a clever parody blog Colbert-style. How else can one <a href="http://extremeliberal.wordpress.com/2010/08/19/president-obama-is-a-man-of-his-word-combat-operations-are-over-in-iraq-as-promised/">explain this</a>:<br /><blockquote>"While that small but very vocal minority of Obama-haters keep chattering on, our awesome President keeps doing what he said he would do and delivering on his promises. Washington pundits don’t know how to act when someone actually does what they say and doesn’t let the media push them around with poll results. Keep it up, “Prez”, you’re doing an excellent job."</blockquote>By itself this paragraph doesn't mean much. You can find similar on any of the pwoggie blogs. But the sheer amount of blind Obama worship! The vituperative hatred spat at anyone who dares to criticize the God-Emperor! Even the gawd-awful industrial gray look of the page begs the question - could even the most sycophantic demotard come up with a blog <span style="font-style: italic;">that</span> repulsive?AlanSmitheehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14302036848656627300noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260336111007478020.post-26165719189560889952010-08-17T10:45:00.000-07:002010-08-17T11:15:49.084-07:00Big Fish Eating Little Fish<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQM4jRcScJCWxtyfsnaV99AAurc8hJAZVmMterXGEGzq1eGS2RvVYmheh0xXvjM2uXVpOStVi4YnsmNcrp67Xl9ezLqkK2zL_kmXMxCOVHM3LXzZwTu6tHUu_rUVM2OJZHyTUL_OXQPe21/s1600/Big+fish+eat+little+fish.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQM4jRcScJCWxtyfsnaV99AAurc8hJAZVmMterXGEGzq1eGS2RvVYmheh0xXvjM2uXVpOStVi4YnsmNcrp67Xl9ezLqkK2zL_kmXMxCOVHM3LXzZwTu6tHUu_rUVM2OJZHyTUL_OXQPe21/s320/Big+fish+eat+little+fish.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506441312758579762" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Item - Chris Bowwow, the DNC lapdog, is bailing on his little foundation funded fauxgressive Obot Left site.
