He had drat near everyone on his show, but I think it would have been a very different interview.

jon tended to care less about the actual viewpoints of any one side, but cared more about any moral hypocrisy and would chase a good choke no matter where it was. he also asked good questions in interviews to kind of cut into someone's worldview and make them explain themselves (often times resulting in republicans just arguing themselves into corners).

She does have a germ of a good point at the beginning where it seems like she's arguing that the Democrats are trying so hard to appeal to everyone that they just come across as plastic people who stand for nothing, but then it turns into THOSE PEOPLE ARE REPUBLICANS FOREVER AND THEY DON'T ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT ECONOMICS.

matty was pretty spot on when he said their statement was a confirmation that they fired them at google's request (or veiled threat) but written to pretend like they were angrily denying it

Almost word for word:

"Democrats are very disorganized. They used to be at their most powerful back in the day when they were 'the ethnic party" the part of blacks, the party of whites, the party of latinos. However, they have since lost that. While the Democratic Party of today recognizes that they are the party of blacks and latinos they don't really understand that because there is a rift. There is one side of the party who wants to be the party of blacks and latinos and the other side who wants to be the "Pabst Blue Ribbon Party" *. And the thing is that you can't be both, because the latter are those who have moved to the Republican Party."

yeah, if the firing had nothing to do with any implied or explicit threat from Google, it would be very easy to come out and say so. instead, the closest NAF has come to such a denial is to deny that Google "lobbied" them to fire Lynn, which is suspiciously narrow wording that doesn't actually contradict anything in the NYT article.

they're almost certainly not going to release the full email chains, presumably because they'd back up Lynn's side as to what exactly his "violations of institutional norms and values" entailed

he's a hillbot from dailykos who's raised tens of thousands of dollars from other hillbots on dailykos.

also he claims to support single-payer but his grand idea for making that happen would be to lower the medicare eligibility age by one year each year, which would get us to medicare for all by.... 2081.
