[Marxism] Left-wing blogs: appendages of the DP

[Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>]

MoveOn and many of the leading left-wing blogs have become nothing but 
appendages of the Democratic party - defending every initiative, no 
matter how wrong-headed, cowardly and obviously ineffective. And since 
the Iraq supplemental fight, where the netroots did such a horrible job, 
the discussions of what congress should do to end the Iraq debacle are 
practically nonexistent in the leading left blogs. They have seemed 
intent on confirming Bai's view that the netroots are more interested in 
being kingmakers than in dealing with the issues. A review of the 
leading Left blogs shows very little coverage of Iraq issues and what 
congress should be doing. Instead, they are obsessed with 2008 
presidential horserace blogging.
