KUCINICH (corrected) is getting on my nerves. There he is on Faux giving aid and comfort to Fauxers

[UTUSN]

137. Since you address me so personally, I'll respond the same

First of all, generally I find almost all of the posts of yours I remember as very compatible with mine, and I've probably Recced yours a few times. But this is about the second time that you have set your lasers on me, and I really think you do it impersonally, that is, not really identifying me as a poster with a DU handle you know, just because apparently I sometimes step on one of your pet peeves. I think I remember after the last time, when I commented supportively to one of your posts you responded positively, but here we are again.

I don't expect you to be familiar with enough of my posted stuff for you to have an actual profile of my personal niche in the Democratic coalition universe, and I'm not going to get into that now because the things you've aimed at me here have been broad-brush and have little to do with me anyway, more like pet theories of yours that I've managed to step on.

Some things I've posted repeatedly at DU, which I don't expect anybody to follow individually, are: Blah-blah, opposition research, blah-blah, keep your friends close your enemies closer, blah-blah, I prefer to know than not to know, blah-blah, no blinders no head in the sand, blah-etcetera-blah.

And one of the oldest, tiredest memes for the entire life of DU has been: "You're helping their ratings/numbers/income." I used to answer that with "I'm not a NIELSEN or Arbitron household," although in later years some updated Know-it-alls said that the cable outlets have other ways of tracking their use. Usually, the implicit message in that old meme was to stop one step short of calling a fellow DUer a Wingnut.

I'll skip the boring topic of my viewing habits and all the activist, outraged e-mails I've sent various wingnuts over the years, and get to the more pertinent disagreement in this thread, which is the Lefter-Than-Thou crowd vs Anybody-Else (on the Dem side, which to me is the SAME side). In case it isn't clear, I'm purposely labeling my beloved idealistic, purist Lefts as Holier-Than-Thou(s), of whom you my dear Bluenorthwest apparently are one. You seem to save your most vociferous ire for those of us who are just as stalwart on the same side as you but who don't breathe your same ideologically driven fire. I save my ire for Wingnuts and their enablers.

The blind allegations that because I monitor (actually a very small sliver) of the Faux Propaganda Network (my coinage) I must be somebody who supported the Iraq Attack (my coinage) is a total mental construct, totally without reference to me, in your mind, just a broad brush pop-up in your mind.

I look forward to our next make-up session. Toodle-oo for now.
