Net Neutrality: Lobbyist McCurry Raises Ire
BBCWatcher writes "Mike McCurry, former Clinton Administration Press Secretary turned telecommunications industry lobbyist, reacts to his many new critics in the battle over Net Neutrality: "There are millions and millions of good Democrats who get paid by corporations," he said, "and I think every time we bash corporations, we just turn off people who are in the middle of the political spectrum." Among others, top political blogger Markos Moulitsas Zúniga responded swiftly to McCurry's latest assertions: "What a dishonest piece of sh[..] McCurry has become. This is an anti-corporatist jihad, is it? Is that why we are aligned with Microsoft, Google, and eBay? And when did the Christian Coalition and the Gun Owners of America join the 'left'? What a pathetic attempt to marginalize those of us working for net neutrality....McCurry is now a sad, sad, pathetic man.""
I take it you haven't noticed the quasi-socialist bent to slashdot. toe the line of hating corporations and big business while enjoying the benefits of them! Big pay checks, fast computers, internet backbones, good jobs. See, it is ok to hate business but benefit from it, not hypocritical at all!
It's a good thing that the Democrats are "loyal to the dollar" because they have delivered economic growth and budget surplusses over the last 100 years, while Republicans pretty consistently delivered huge budget deficits and economic decline.
