Quote of the Day.

In a blog post about how the White House has co-opted formerly progressive groups Jane Hamsher at Firedog Lake quotes Jeremy Schahill quoting a great line from Naomi Klein,

"Running parallel to the bi-partisan war machine within the official government is a coordinated campaign in the shadow government — the think tanks. Or, as Naomi Klein describes them, the people paid to think by the makers of tanks. CAPs particular role in this campaign appears to be attempting to sell Obama’s war."

Deserves repeating Or, as Naomi Klein describes them, the people paid to think by the makers of tanks.
Is there any hope for progress when the progressive/liberal organizations are selling us out for party unity? Isn't that one of our major complaints about the Republiecans? Go figure.
