Via far-left Greg Sargent’s “Plum Line” at the Washington Post:

Top Obama adviser David Axelrod got an earful of the liberal blogosphere’s anger at the White House moments ago, when a blogger on a conference call directly called out Axelrod over White House criticism of the left, accusing the administration of “hippie punching.”

“We’re the girl you’ll take under the bleachers but you won’t be seen with in the light of day,” the blogger, Susan Madrak of Crooks and Liars, pointedly told Axelrod on the call, which was organzied for liberal bloggers and progressive media.

So let’s back up a bit.

The story here is not that the ‘professional left’ is pissed with Obama. The real story here is that far-left, pseudo Bolshevik smear merchants like those at Crooks and Liars are given access to the White House in any shape, matter or form in the first place.

And the fact that a blogger at Crooks and Liars has her you-know-whats in a bunch? Give me a break, she’s a fringe-kook, that would probably make Ward Churchill look moderate. Over at “Suburban Guerilla,” here’s an example of her talking about ‘choking the sh$t out of Republicans.’ How many vulgarities can you count? This is classy too.

By the way – Stacy McCain has a pretty interesting take on ‘under the bleachers’ Hippie-Punched Susie Madrak too including this:

In order to win elections, Democrats have to pretend to share the values of the American middle class. They can’t afford to associate themselves too publicly with the grungy leftoids who are, in fact, the driving force behind the Democratic policy agenda.

And this splendid little gem:

Frankly, I liked the moonbats better when they were completely out of power, foaming at the mouth, camping out in ditches with Cindy Sheehan, and trying to elect that hopeless loser Ned Lamont.

Don’t worry, Susie Madrak, you’ll get back there yet!

Yikes.
