Hippie Punching

Cenk is going to flip-the-fuck-out on Friday's show. Someone confronted the White House about their attitude toward the left last night.

According to Greg Sargent, on a conference call with liberal bloggers, Axelrod was pleading for help rallying the base.  Susan Madrak of Crooks and Liars asked him if he had heard of "hippie punching."  "We're the girl you'll take under the bleachers but you won't be seen with in the light of day," she told him.  You can see Susie's account of the story here and here. 

Sargent reports that Susie told Axelrod to stop making our jobs harder, and he replied by saying, "Right back at ya, rick back at ya." 

I think it needs to be made clear--and I'm sure Cenk will pick up this point--that it is not any blogger's job to motivate the base or make the White House's job easier.  This is not about our feelings.  It is about policy, and broken promises, and not standing up for what you said you believed in. 

I can't wait for the show tonight.
