I've had occasion to revisit Robert Creamer's rambling political manual, Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win. He began writing it in federal prison in 2006, and provided a blueprint for Democratic victories in 2008 and beyond.

There is much to take note of--especially as Creamer (a recent ex-con, by the way) is very close to the Chicago cabal around Obama--but a little passage about media bias is worth noting. Creamer calls for the creation of a "progressive echo chamber":

In response to The false choices of Skeet-gate: 

I agree with you John and for we wonks who live inside these and other issues daily I'm not concerned. Your point is well taken about hitting the leftists in all areas. My concern is that the non-wonks across America are bombarded daily with distractions.

In response to Iowahawk:

"Red tape, long lines, inconvenient office hours, and other logistical hassles probably won’t stop tomorrow’s super-genius from launching the next great billion-dollar company. But it’s a large and needless deterrent to the formation of the humble workaday firms that for many people are a path to autonomy and prosperity."

In response to Stop getting into the wrong argument!:

Speaking for myself, David, I wasn't planning to let Skeet-gate distract me from any of the really important issues.  But it's hard to resist having a bit of fun with it.  The original story was amusing; the defensive over-reaction of the O-bots is freaking hilarious.  You've got constipated Obama hatchet men like Plouffe running around and calling anyone who doubts the official Presidential clay pigeon narrative "skeet truthers" and comparing them to "birthers."

In response to Starting a Small Business is Hard, Whines Obama-Worshiping JounoLister:

What a beautiful, heartwarming story for us to contemplate on this 100th anniversary of the income tax!  It used to be said that a conservative was a liberal who got mugged by reality.  We can add the socialists who got mugged by the government, after they tried to do something other than worship it or suckle at its breast.

To my friends on the right or otherwise, PLEASE STOP! Who gives a cr*p about skeet-gate? It's a distraction for a few more days when we should be talking about the economy. Ever wonder why these "non-issues" come out at a time when say ... the unemployment number ticks up?

You are easily goaded into the wrong argument while Obama runs out the political clock. Post it on facebook and twitter like I did with a sarcastic remark then move back to the economy and other real issues.

Karen Finney aka @finneyk on @twitter just can't resist naming "those crazy crackers on the right ... with their very hateful language" in her race pimping rant on @MSNBC. I know you are shocked but try to contain your disdain and watch.

Yes.  Yes, she is.  

She just said that.

In response to Does Piers Morgan Know Something Atlanta's Police Chief Does Not?:

The link Piers provided goes to a story titled "Armed guard disarmed teen in Atlanta school shooting, police chief says." Is he suggesting the officer failed because he didn't stop the shooting before a single shot was fired? Isn't that moving the goal posts quite a bit? No one suggested putting psychic cops in schools just cops.
