The real reason a very loud few are posting hostility toward Barack Obama at DU:

[Armstead]

283. I understand your objections

I'm sorry but this is not a matter of not moving fast enough, too little, incremental change, moderation.

There are some things that are so egregious that they cannot be justified on any basis except pure total corruption and/or political cowardice. We saw it in the 1990's when Clinton gave a handful of monopolistic media corporations cmplete control and ownership of the airwaves -- and then gave the financial system -- and the entire economy -- over to a handful of corrupt Wall ST. Insiders and "too big to fail banks."

And we're letting them do it again. And these are supposed to be Democrats, the alternative to the obvious piggery of the GOP.

The idea that Obama is tacitly supporting right now is a two-fer gift to the oligarchs at the expense of the public interest.

1)Comcast gets to create a defacto monopoly by buying the other major cable and broadband provider Time Warner Cable.

2)Comcast, Verizon and the handful of other monopolistic companies that provide access to the Internet want to remove the concept that all content providers should be treated equally. That whole principle is why it is possible for small business to get on the Internet and at least have a chance of competing with the giants without being handicapped by cripplingly slow delivery of content.(It's also what allowed now-big companies like Facebook, etc. to even get started.)...Politically it also means that small grass roots organization have an equal chance of reaching the public as the big publishers.

WHY RUIN THAT by turning it all over to a maga corporation whose only motivation is gouging the public? Who are goin to create a system where if you produce content you have to pay them extortion just to get a decent amount of bandwidth to deliver content.

So then, to add insult to injury, he appoints the WORST POSSIBLE CANDIDATE (short of Rupert Murdoch himself) who is closely affiliated with -- who else? -- Comcast to Head the FCC which is supposed to be the "watchdog" at this crucial time.

That's not any form of liberalism. This is a direct attack on the very principles Obama ran and won office on. It is not moderate -- it is aiding and abetting corporate piracy worthy of the Kochs.
