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.""
It would seem to me that he's suggesting that people who are half way between the Republicans and the Democrats are the middle of the political spectrum.
From my vantage point, I can hardly see the difference between the USA's 2 main parties.
If you read the rest of that bloggers post (another slashdot member posted it above) you'll really see my point.
You mean the manufactured, fictional troll that someone posted above? Perhaps you should be more careful in what you choose to believe.
