Edwards Adviser Blasts Blogosphere, Too
By
Writes Dave "Mudcat" Sanders on Time's Swampland:
Saunders is a paid consultant to Sen. John Edwards, who has, shall we say, quite assiduously courted the blogosphere and whose senior adviser, Joe Trippi, is a godfather of the netroots. And Elizabeth Edwards is an active participant in what Saunders calls the "Metropolitain Opera Wing" of the Democratic Party.
Score one for intellectual diversity in the Edwards campaign.
One piece of advice for Saunders: if you don't like the music, don't go to the opera.
"In his column, Joe said, "...the smart stuff is being drowned out by a fierce, bullying, often witless tone of intolerance that has overtaken the left-wing sector of the blogosphere." Amen.
I have bitched and moaned for years about the lack of tolerance in the elitist wing of the Democratic Party, or what I refer to as the "Metropolitan Opera Wing". These are the people who talk of tolerance but the only true tolerance they ever exhibit is for their own pseudo-intellectual arrogance.
