(15,438 posts)I clearly made an insinuation that you are a {possible} reader of the professional left blogosphere; a blogosphere that's more Green Party {that never wins anything but a big yawn from the majority of Americans} than Democratic Party {that actually wins elections and power} since you obviously have a disdain for President Obama and his administration - something you share with them.
And as you've rightfully alluded to, a Professional Leftist is a person who profits from attacking this administration {you made that allusion with your "but now I'm a "Professional Leftist"? If so, somebody owes me money". They make more profit if a Republican is in the White House. Not so much when a Democrat is unless, of course, they can demonize said Democrat. Even you can't deny that.
So no. You're not a Professional Leftist. I consider you a member of the anti-Obama crowd who is easily excitable and easily whipped up in a frenzy by the Professional Left instigators while they make money off of your passionate clicks. You know? People like Jane Hamsher. Or Glenn Greenwald - although he's more of a Professional Rightie since he's a Libertarian. Or Michael Moore {made tens of millions off of outrage from the Left under Bush and would like to do so again, but alas, a Democrat is president} or DKos' Markos Moulitsas Zúniga. Get the picture? Those actors are the same people Rahm Emanuel referred to as the Professional Left, not the people who were whipped up in a frenzy because of them.
So no, no childish name-calling intended. It's simple and proven fact. But whoever this person was who called you a Purist, well, based on your anti-Obama posts that require unrealistic results from this admin, that person should get a medal.
