Comments on: Math doesn’t add up in progressives’ complaints against Udall

I just posted on my Facebook page that I consider Udall worse than Hank Brown, possibly worse than Wayne Allard, and worse than a mere “blue Dem” – as “purple” a Dem as Joe Lieberman. I just wish Andy Romanoff could challenge Udall this year instead of Bennet, because Udall is downright disgusting. I came to this view independently because of Udall's pro-nuclear, pro-military-bases policy. And along comes CS Independent and tells people like me to shut up. No, YOU shut up, because I speak for scores of progressives in this state who DESPISE Udall.

And here we go again with more hyper-sensitive indignation by David Sirota–something every writer in Colorado has no doubt become accustomed to. Here's how it works: David gets “outraged” over something, files a barrage of blog posts sans factual information, and when confronted with such errors can only sit down and pout and continue to disparage the source until he eventually moves on to someone else. It's an all too familiar dance, meant to feed his ravenous hunger for attention.

Frankly David, I'd say that TCI has much more quality in one blog post then you have in your entire “nationally syndicated column.” Maybe you should try actually reading what Ms. Norris wrote, rather than frothing at the mouth like you did when you called for the head of Timothy Gienther while proposing no solutions of your own.

I wish I could be an ultraleft wing blogger. I wouldn't have to do any work whatsoever, just rage against anyone who doesn't share my views as being part of the right wing kleptocorprofascist conspiracy- and get paid too!

No, seriously, quit getting your panties in a bunch over the smallest bullshit.

As Wendy's stats imply, Colorado is not a lift-of-center state. We pride ourselves on our independence and individuality. Unions may never be big here, this isn't an industrial center “back east”. A lot of us ARE registered Independents…(unaffiliated they call us but I say we are independent), and a lot of us vote with the Democrats…I always do.
I may lean way left on human rights, women's issues, health care, war, not so far left on others..
And then there are the moderate Republicans who vote for moderate Democrats. Udall and Bennet have a diverse constituency. The 31% liberal voters are not enough for them to win an election.
Lest the far left gets too arrogant…I'm starting to notice a bit of the same smug “you're wrong and we're right and we'll tell you what's best for you” as the Gops gave us for 8 years.
2008 was an unusual and wonderful election in Colorado. Thanks to all the left! But don't forget, the Bush administration was so bad, and the McCain/Palin ticket was so bad, Rin Tin Tin could have run for a state or local office under the Democrat label and won.

Hmmm...I don't remember ever calling Mark Udall a name. In fact, I seem to remember advocating for him for election.

Hmm...but TCI is interested in "facts." Yes, what a Very Serious Publication to be spending movement progressive money building media infrastructure aimed at telling progressive voters to not demand accountability from their elected representatives. Seems so Very Serious.

A tip: Spend more resources on David O. Williams' real reporting on real issues, and less resources on fact-free bloviating like this post that merely reprints an Atlantic.com dispatch from Washington, D.C. If you are so interested in the Very Serious Reporting you say you are, you'd see the gravity of that suggestion.

[...] March 27, 2009 The Colorado Independent, which bills itself as “a center for independent media,” has, in effect, told those of us who are pissed off that Mark Udall (D-CO) is going back on his campaign promises, to shut up. [...]
