They actually fear their constituents...

as it should be,arrogance,haughtiness, insolence, disdain for the American people, should be answered with revolt....2010!..no forgiveness,no deals,no Mr Nice guy BS.

but the tech rebellion is severing ties with old media just as cleanly.

And I thank God for it. Maybe, just maybe, the grown-ups will have a chance to take back the country (assuming that there are enough of us left).

They thought with the media in their pocket...The One would be able to bring about “change” (socialism) without too many complaining...

...they didn’t think Fox and Talk Radio would make enough of a difference.

Look for the Left to move on the media.

Good article, but I disagree with the "Tech Revolution" theory for 2009.

That happened in 1998. Savvy political chat rooms existed, even on AOL.

What you have today is no different than 2000. The MSM is totally out of control Left - and you can find alternative Right on the net. Is this news to anyone?

[Feckless]

They can hide, and are safe... until election day.

“The Peasants Are REvolting”

The “peasants” are the ones who elected the hateful, obnoxious, self-appointed-intellectual Liberal Democrats who now populate the halls of congress.

When they were warned about an impending Liberal onslaught, they called those who warned them every manner of paranoid, right-wing, gun-nut, ignorant, knuckle-dragging boob.

Now they have the results of all that “brilliance” and they can all go to blazes. They elected the “intellectual” psychotics, now let them learn how to use pitchforks and learn about the sacrifice of their ancestors.

And Barry’s administration’s response to the Right “catching up” on the technoligical curve is to compile an Electronic Enemies list. Lucky for him the press is too busy kissing his a$$ to notice.

Whichever side is in power will discover that opposition can form even when the media ignore an issue.

The enemy had better work faster if it wants to censor us. Fox news just beat the CBS evening news in the ratings.

Fears of angry town hallers were fanned by MSNBC hosts like Rachel Maddow...

The Madcow only imparted fear to her 13 or so remaining viewers, not a big deal.

Um, when a hyperventilating hyperpartisan says of the mere prospect that a ruling party might lose 20 seats in a by-election, that it is "the world turned upside down", you know that politics has driven that person stark, raving mad.

WW II turned the world upside down. The french revolutionary wars, spanning a generation, turned the world upside down. The thirty years war, the reformation, turned the world upside down. Democrats losing 20 seats in a by-election, if they do, is not that.

It is the sun coming up in the morning. Get a freaking grip, people.

People are really sick of the shenanigans in local politics, too, where it's right in your face but you can't do anything about it. The special interests are too entrenched and they have the media on their side. A feeling of impotency abounds. For instance, when one group of economic interests bands together to build a new (fill in the blank - park, school, public pool, etc. Taxes go up but the local boards always find enough votes to ram these new projects through.)

[jocon307]

“...the Democrats could lose 20 to 50 House seats in the next election.”

They need to lose more than that.

The French knew what angry Mobs were, and we haven’t seen them here, yet.
