Jane Hamsher: "His most ardent supporters are the dumbest motherfuckers in the world"

Posted on Author sarge Comments(3)

Today, FIredoglake’s Jane Hamsher called Obama’s staunchest supporters “the dumbest motherfuckers in the world”. This is going too far. Way too far.

Progressives can’t abandon Obama and his supporters and be successful in 2012. Down-ticket candidates, especially the most progressive ones, are handicapped by this type of vitriol. We need a huge turnout in 2012, and we won’t get that without widespread support for Obama.

We Democrats eat our own. That’s what we do best, and as a result, good, progressive candidates lose.

Argue your point. Challenge Obama’s positions and strategies, but don’t call his supporters the “dumbest motherfuckers in the world”. That’s just too dumb for words.

  1. Can someone interpret Jane Hamsher’s article for me? I read it three times and don’t understand her point. Especially this:

    He wouldn’t be rejecting it “even if it brings my presidency down,” and taking his case to the American people, if he thought he had scored some big victory.

    What makes Hamsher think Obama supporters are dumb? What don’t they understand?

    BTW, there’s at least one grammatical error in her little article.
