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.""
A clinton administration official demonstrates that his only loyalty was to the dollar. The worst you could say was he emulated his bosses.
Next thing you'll tell me is that Al Gore Didn't really invent the internet, or Bill Clinton went out and lobbied for an arab nation to take over Americas ports. I would be Shocked just Shocked.
Death and danger are my various breads and various butters.
Anger does not invalidate a message. Pissing other people off does not make you "right". The bloggers evaluation of the lobbyist in question is correct, and you really should step back and think about the fact that there are thousands of people just like him. They are paid to corrupt your government to benefit their employers. It's their job and it pays well because it works. You have a government that is covered in leeches, it's going to take drastic measures to fix this.
Fanatically anti-fanatical
