Co-editor of the American Prospect Robert Kuttner in "Rage the Left Should Use" published in the bastion of leftist thought the Washington Post earlier this week asks "Where are the liberal protesters?"
It seems like a good question. Until one considers the source of the complaint -- and that rather helps answer the question.
Maybe the "liberal protests" are where the American Prospect's cover story of the "Baucus 13" is.
Or the where the American Prospect's lengthy piece on Linda Allision's exchange with Obama is.
Read up on the "Baucus 13" and Linda Allison's questioning of Obama.
If "liberal" mags like the American Prospect were serious about reform, wouldn't they have relentlessly plugged the "Baucus 13" and Linda Allison? Just like if Democratic politicians who claim to be "for" single payer actually were, wouldn't they have gotten the Congressional Budget Office to do an estimate on single payer this year?
