Perhaps Taylor Marsh’s hair product is interfering with her ability to reason. This is the problem with party purists — they come up with ridiculously over-the-top crap like Chinese People Eat Babies (Jill Stanek) or Barack Obama is a Progressive Cannibal (Taylor Marsh).

Ms. Marsh ought to stop to consider that some people appreciate the fact that Sen. Obama realizes no one person or even one particular party has all the answer[s].

She laments:

Mr. Obama’s ability to cannibalize the very essence of progressive policy by going to the right of our Democratic party foundation knows no bounds. From a DailyKos diary in 2005:

Too often, the “centrist” label seems to mean compromise for compromise sake, whereas on issues like health care, energy, education and tackling poverty, I don’t think Democrats have been bold enough. But I do think that being bold involves more than just putting more money into existing programs and will instead require us to admit that some existing programs and policies don’t work very well. And further, it will require us to innovate and experiment with whatever ideas hold promise (including market- or faith-based ideas that originate from Republicans).

“Market-based ideas,” hmmm, wonder what Mr. Obama is talking about? It’s obvious. It’s also a warning. Putting Social Security on the table, especially after progressives won that battle during the Bush era, is something no Democrat should swallow. It goes beyond not being an ideologue. It reveals that Obama doesn’t care at all about anything Democratic, including one of the most important aspects of what makes us Democrats, Social Security.

Hmmm, indeed.

If Ms. Marsh had actually been following his career (and in particular his presidential and “pre-”presidential interviews) she’d know that Senator Obama has said market-based Social Security alterations should be off the table. Social Security and Privatization are separate things because “privatized” Social Security is no longer Social Security as we know it (it cannot be given how Social Security actually works). It’s more like a 401k or IRA, already existing “market-based” tools, and Sen. Obama recognizes that.

Her transparently partisan anti-Obama whining is not well-served by making assumptions which are demonstrably false.

What’s next? Did he write a 2nd grade term paper about global warming and cow farts?

(h/t to Mark Warner is God’s hilarious Barack Obama will eat your children, updated with photographic proof.)
