FWIW, I don’t think Matt’s a racist. I think he lives in a very small world of people who do what he does and sometimes he forgets to translate into civilian.

Re: the Stoller quote.

Oh yes, the nice white affluent menz have *always* got your back. Yeah, that has worked so well for the past 1000 years or so.

At the time, he said political blogging wasn’t FOR people of color.

Stoller does not think that it’s important for blogs to reach a less-affluent audience: “Not everybody has to be part of that conversation. If someone wants to have access to those discussions, they should be able to do that. But for the most part, people—like that person working two shifts—will go on with their lives knowing that good people are making good decisions and policies on their behalf.”

The problem is they don’t have a gender and class analysis and exactly one year ago, Bowers said political blogging wasn’t for everyone, it’s a niche hobby.

I’m pretty sure this is karmic.

Did oyu mean this Matt Stoller?

And gosh, after a temper tantrum like the one quoted above, I can’t imagine why Obama doesn’t care to pander to him and others like him.

Yeah, well. I’m too busy in mourning for the fatal blow Justices “no reason not to support him” Roberts and “Democrats rely too much on procedural manuevers” Alito just struck to the voting rights act to enjoy any of this properly.

Zuzu, post it on Feministe!

Today, Bowers laments the blogosphere lost all its influence. Not the Clinton blogosphere. We’re just getting started! That endorsing Obama took away their influence. Obama just laughs at Daily Kos and OpenLeft which gave in too early and overwhelmingly to their white guilt.

I’d settle for just being able to weigh the merits of the positions of each. No, neither one is my ideal, but if you can’t discuss the strengths and weaknesses rationally, you can’t ask them to improve in order to get your vote.

Zuzu, have I told you that I love you lately? I love you.

Mwah! You too!

These are both hold-my-nose candidates for me. I give approximately 1/13th of a shit which one wins the nomination, and I continue to mourn (as Liss does) the dead candidacy of the one candidate that dared to question whether corporate America should fucking run everything.
