Do progressives believe the stuff that comes out of their mouths?<\/p>\n\n\n
From my TL I see @VanJones68<\/a> is practicing verbal masturbation at #NN12<\/a> #tcot<\/a><\/p>\n — Melissia (@ProudoftheUSA) June 9, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n No joke: During the closing keynote speech at Netroots Nation, Van Jones reportedly told a roomful of starry-eyed progressive activists that they ‘checkmated’ conservative radio and created the blogosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n @VanJones68<\/a>: You shut down RW radio. No politician did that 4 you. You did it yourselves. You need to remind readers of the power THEY have.<\/p>\n — Sharoney (@Sharoney) June 9, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n We’re pretty sure Van Jones and his audience don’t know what “checkmated” means. By the way, R.I.P Air America.<\/p>\n\n\n I think Van Jones just said that liberals created the blogosphere. Interesting. #AlGoreCreatedtheInternetToo<\/a><\/p>\n — Billy Hallowell (@BillyHallowell) June 9, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n Well, if progressives invented the blogosphere, they sure lost control of it pretty quickly. Kinda like a liberal hashtag.<\/p>\n\n\n @VanJones68<\/a> – Bloggers, take yourself more seriously, don't depress and demoralize. Fight back! Somebody has to stand up!

We love the smell of progressive desperation in the afternoon.<\/p> Read more: http:\/\/twitchy.com\/2012\/06\/09\/van-jones-progressives-created-the-blogosphere-and-checkmated-right-wing-radio\/<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/jdpeterson\/status\/211586121782661121 Do progressives believe the stuff that comes out of their mouths?
