Over the last few years, a lot of progressive money has gone to build "progressive media" through the Center for Independent Media - and specifically through projects like the Colorado Independent. So it's strange to me that that money is now being used to tell progressives that they are "insufferably strident" in their demands that congressional legislators vote in a mildly progressive way.
As you can see, the top-line story in the Independent this morning is headlined "Math Doesn't Add Up In Progressives' Complaints," and it features Wendy Norris citing Ron Brownstein's Atlantic.com article as proof that voters should not ask Democratic senators to take public positions on major bills like EFCA or - gasp! - actually support those bills.
Mind you, this tripe from the Independent is underwritten by progressive money.
