Sirota on "Centrists"

I've railed (ineffectively, I'll admit) about how the MSM misuses the term "centrist". David Sirota, nails the issue in this DailyKos diary.

In fact, Lieberman's name has become so synonymous with Washington's propagandistic definition of "centrism" that some of the most insulated Establishment spokespeople are using the term in a pathetic attempt to defend him from grassroots primary challenger Ned Lamont (D).

Outstanding article (0.00 / 0)

I agree with Larkspur. Everyone should read this and commit as much of it to memory as possible for canvassing efforts.

Joe Centrist and Balanced (0.00 / 0)

The result of Joe Centrist and Balanced: Vote for Alito when it matters, and against Alito when it does not matter:

"WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court scaled back protections for government workers who blow the whistle on official misconduct Tuesday, a 5-4 decision in which new Justice Samuel Alito cast the deciding vote."

"A year ago, O'Connor authored a 5-4 decision that encouraged whistleblowers to report sex discrimination in schools. The current case was argued in October but not resolved before her retirement in late January."
