Do Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen work for the Washington Post?

[kabar]

This is an article by two Dems, Patrick H. Caddell and Douglas E. Schoen. It is not a WP editorial.

[TexasFreeper2009]

whoa... that article was scathing! and spot on.

He is even losing the left now... soon he will be standing in a small crowd filled with nothing but racist blacks.

[the Real fifi]

Not to burst your bubble, but the authors are Dem pollsters writing as guests for the Post.

[WashingtonSource]

This is an op-ed not a Washington Post editorial. It’s the opinion of the authors not of the newspaper.

[The Hound Passer]

It’s an opinion piece, not a news article. While I’d love for a WP NEWS article to overtly note it unabashedly supports left policies and seeks to undermine anything remotely right of center, this is NOT it. Sorry.

To make the connection using this opinion piece is no better than how the Move-On dummies use Hannity’s show to prove Fox News is an organ of the RNC. Of course Hannity’s show, is also billed as an opinion show, not a hard news show. You can’t mix and match the two categories.

This is a guest editorial by Schoen and Caddell. Not a WaPo op-ed.

And FWIW: Neither is what I’d call a liberal Dem (maybe at one time). Caddell has been on our side for a while (playing the part as ‘Dem strategist’ while he trashes Dems). Schoen is slowing moving to our side, even standing up for the Tea Party.

Just the fact this critique of Obama is in the print edition of the WaPo is a milestone event. It's akin to watching the Russians pull down the giant statue of Lenin.

Of course the authors and the WaPo are not yet able to bring themselves to the point where they can openly criticize Obama without the obligatory comparison to a republican ogre.

("Yeah, we admit our guy may be bad, but he's not as bad as your guy")

In this case they drag out good old reliable Dick Nixon, the perpetual motion democrat nemesis.

Nevertheless, now that the WaPo is openly criticizing THE WON, how long before we see mobs pulling down Obama statues and ripping up street signs for "Obama Highway" and "Mount Obama"? hopefully not long at all.

[Starboard]

This was penned by two Dem advisors disgusted with the radical takeover of their party, not a mea culpa by the Washington Post. The Washington Post is flat out liberal. They have a so-called ombudsman but his job is really just a meaningless and deceptive title.

[Dudoight]

More importantly, as committed liberals, they take Obama to task and are appropriately critical of him and his tactics.

Fine, fine, statement.

[Right Wing Assault]

Don’t change the headline from the original.

Especially if you aren’t going to get the facts straight.

[MEG33]

This is a guest editorial..Alwats post the correct title first.

[Wings-n-Wind]

Pat & Doug are the last vestige of ANY COMMON SENSE whatsoever on the left;

They have been frequent guests on Hannity and Greta--and their appraisals of the upcoming purge have been refreshingly candid.

I have no empathy/sympathy for their liberal views-- but they have been the only civil and respectful voices in the debate from the left.

Schoen's polling has been laser-shot accurate--
...But of course-- the DIMS hate him for that...

[OrangeHoof]

Pat “Driplip” Caddell was Carter’s press secretary and perhaps Clinton harshest critic from the Democrat Party back in the 1990s. He’s not speaking for the Washington Post but he does seem to represent a dwindling few Democrats who hate the leftward lurch of the party and, in particular, their often hypocritical and deceitful tactics when confronted with their own ethical lapses.

(”Driplip” has always been my nickname for him since the Carter years when he sported a beard with a streak of white hair that resembled a baby who spits up milk from a corner of his mouth)

ComPost bump for later......

Oops. They must have written this before the new book came out explaining how Bama is the great pragmatic philospher.
