WEESeeYou Jane, Jack, Jill & Arianna: All Hugged Up–Too Close for Comfort?
QUESTION: What do the following blogs have in common: Pam’s House Blend, The Black Agenda Report, and Jack and Jill Politics?
ANSWER: All of these blogs are members of the Common Sense Media Advertising Network.
Want deep penetration in the African-American progressive blogosphere? We can make that happen.
Hmmm, so if you want to penetrate (or f*ck) the African-American community, Common Sense Media can make that happen.
So, “What’s the big deal Webb? What’s wrong with being a member of an advertising network? You can’t be hating on a brotha or sista for making some ‘chedda’ in the blogosphere? Can You?”
No, there’s nothing wrong with making “chedda,” but a problem arises when there is a conflict of interest with your purported reason for existing…that is, acting in the best interest of your people…ALL OF YOUR PEOPLE…not just the ones to whom you are FINANCIALLY connected.
There’s nothing wrong with being a member of such a network as long as your motives are clear. But if you take a close look at Common Sense Media’s website, you’ll make a very interesting discovery on their homepage….
The CommonSense Media team is lead by Jane Hamsher, founder of the popular political news and commentary site Firedoglake.
Hold the f*ck up! Is that the same Jane Hamsher from FIREDOGLAKE and MSNBC who’s been attacking President Obama, calling him “weak” on Healthcare (and every other f*cking issue under the Sun) for the last nine months?
I thought she was just a blogger. Now, you’re telling me that she’s running a whole F*CKING Advertising Network??? She’s transacting business? She’s distributing $$$ from special interests groups who DID NOT WANT PRESIDENT OBAMA IN THE WHITE HOUSE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Could she be offering PAYOLA to African Americans willing to HATE on President Obama (Just like the cable networks rush to hire any blacks willing to hate on the President–Call him a “Sellout Punk”)???? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE SHYTING ME!
Who is Jane Hamsher and why should we care?
Jane Hamsher clearly falls into an expansive category of white, liberal progressive-fauxgressive-haters of this administration. That’s no big surprise. Other WSY bloggers can more accurately elaborate on the breadth of her unrelenting hatred aimed at President Obama.
What I really want to know is, “Why is Baratunde Thurston of JJP all hugged up with this hater?”
From Twitter.
Hmmm, I could be wrong…but something doesn’t smell right here.
In many ways, WEESeeYou.com was born out of JJP. W.E.E. all share fond memories from JJP and in many respects, remain very fond of it’s commenting community. However in the midst of the Healthcare Reform saga that has now exceeded nine months, it’s hard to forget the never-ending episodes of FEAR unleashed within that blog by certain persons.
W.E.E. know that the antithesis of FEAR is HOPE. W.E.E. have never lost faith in this President.
It is no secret that many of the WSY Family endured month-after-month of countless attacks on President Obama from the blog meant to “offer a black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics.” When I personally asked where ALL of the moderators stood on Healthcare Reform, all that I heard was ***crickets.*** None of them were willing to defend President Obama; their doubts reigned supreme. The blog had lost any semblance of balance.
So now, only in retrospect, does it all come into focus…“@janehamsher hugs.”
What is the definition of collusion?
Collusion is an agreement, usually secretive, which occurs between two or more persons to limit open competition by deceiving, misleading, or defrauding others of their legal rights, or to obtain an objective forbidden by law typically by defrauding or gaining an unfair advantage[citation needed]. All acts affected by collusion are considered void.[3]
Dave Zrinn
It is so interesting to see JJP moderators defend President Obama nowadays. Just last night, Jack/Baratunde argued in response to an article by Fauxgressive-hater Dave Zrinn of the Huffington Post…
I am so tired of alleged-progressives screaming failure at this administration.
Are you really tired Jack? You just now became tired? SOME OF US HAVE BEEN TIRED.
Furthermore, why must so many brothers like Jack continuously preface their statements (with respect to President Obama) as follows:
I agree that the White House hasn’t done everything it set out to do. I don’t like some of the things it’s done…
Obama has not delivered on MANY of the things we thought he would…
Obama is never above criticism, and he’s received a lot of mine…
If you read more of my work, you’ll know I’m not a knee-jerk defender of this administration…
For the record, I believe progressive pressure on this administration is a GOOD thing….
So, what exactly are you trying to prove? For whom, must you demonstrate your street-credibility to be a NON-defender of this President? WHERE THE FUCK DOES IT COME FROM? Please tell me that there is money involved. Please tell me that Jane Hamsher is padding your pockets. TELL US SOMETHING.
There is a concept of “Being your Brother’s Keeper,” that has been violated. The RIGHT is throwing everything it’s got (and the kitchen sink) at this President and YOU FEEL THE NEED TO PREFACE YOUR STATEMENTS LIKE THAT?
Just last night in an unusual move, Jack criticized Dave Zrinn, “I’m troubled by what I see as overly dramatic and premature defeatism by some on the left toward our own guy.”
But how can he be your own guy if you’ve been unwilling to defend him only until recently? And why is a writer at the Huffington Post being targeted in particular?
Why not target another blogger in the overflowing, fauxgressive blogosphere? Jack was right, “Anger is a great motivator.” Anger also generates more traffic, clicks and visits for JJP, the Huffington Post and Firedoglage.
LIKE JANE HAMSHER, Arianna Huffington clearly falls into an expansive category of white, liberal progressive-fauxgressive-haters of this administration. That’s no big surprise. Here are a couple examples of her hateration: here and here.
What I really want to know is, “Why is Cheryl Contee all hugged up with this hater?”
The last thing that I want to do is contribute to the success of HuffPo or Firedoglake since THEY ARE CLEARLY COMMITTED TO THE FAILURE OF PRESIDENT OBAMA. I’m not blind…my eyes can see.
All this anger and outrage ultimately puts more cash in Miss Jane and Miss Arianna’s pockets.
The only question which remains for Jack and Jill is, “Who do you serve?”
Do you serve Mistresses Hamsher and Huffington?
OR DO YOU SERVE YOUR PEOPLE?
W.E.E. SERVE OUR PEOPLE. W.E.E. SEE OUR PEOPLE. W.E.E. SEE YOU.
