@DonMidwest Media Bias/Fact Check:

Notes: The Washington Free Beacon is an American politically conservative political journalism website that publishes news and opinion commentary. It has a very strong right wing bias and often publishes misleading headlines that do not match the content of stories. Has published a completely fake story. (7/19/2016) Updated (6/23/2017)

We have followed this creep since Hillary's campaign. I had not noticed him before the last election.

In case you missed it

Former Clinton Adviser: Sanders and His Followers Are ‘Detrimental to the Democratic Party

A former top Hillary Clinton adviser made it clear on Monday that he will not come around to welcoming Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and his supporters into the Democratic Party.

In an 11-tweet rant, Peter Daou, a strategist and internet director for Clinton's presidential run in 2008, railed against Sanders and his followers, writing that they are "detrimental" to the Democratic party.

Daou began with a jab at Sanders' popularity before diving into the latest actions that provoked his ire. The Clinton supporter accused Sanders of being a "destructive force." He added that Sanders and his "diehard followers" are targeting rising stars in the Democratic Party, including Sens. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) and Cory Booker (D., N.J.).

Daou also accused Sanders supporters of continuing to use "rightwing" talking points against Clinton.

(Note to former people who were at dailykos. I am not highjacking this thread. See in the thread above he did mention Kamala Harris as one of the targets of the ass holes on the left. Obviously this is a snark. A lame attempt at a joke. When I finished this comment I did a search on Peter and Kamala and came up empty but here it was in the article about his exceptional tweets. Could this be used in the case against the DNC rigging the primary for Hillary over Bernie? Not only did they rig the primary, they are trying to rig the movement to change the democratic party. )

I wanted to let you know how wonderful he is. And maybe a heads up when he shows up in someplace new.

From his web page. Each link is a short image.

Advising includes AARP. What is their agenda???? Are they an advocate, or an insurance company??

Well, the tabs do not have a separate link, so I will just give the link to his web page after I tell you about his Advising

Advising
Peter has crafted digital strategies for the UN Foundation, AARP, Action Against Hunger, Planned Parenthood, Intel, Department of Energy, Urban Initiative, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Clinton Global Initiative, and Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, among others.

Here is his web page. It has this info along with the graphics of organizations.

Peter Daou . com

Media
Browse a selection of articles and clips referencing Peter’s political activism over the past two decades.

There are many of these. Did anyone save the web site Hillary is Wonderful?? I think it was Praise for Hillary. The first tab was Republicans, and started off with three accolades from Henry Kissinger. Maybe Peter was the genius who put that up.

Here are a couple of examples

New York Times
Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton, viewed Shareblue more as a necessary voice in a world teeming with conservative radio, television and internet outlets that fire up the Republican base. Of Mr. Daou, he added, “He has a great sense of what’s moving around and where in the depths of the Twittersphere.”

Oh, I might have seen him on Salon.com back when Glenn Greenwald was there

Washington Post
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton pulled off a major coup in her evolving relationship with the liberal blogosphere. She hired Peter Daou, author of the Daou Report (a blog on Salon.com) and the director of blog operations for the 2004 presidential campaign of Sen. John Kerry.

And Peter sure used the internet to connect with us, the disenfranchised democrats

ABC News
Campaign Internet strategists say the political engagement in cyberspace is reshaping the landscape. “It’s good for our democracy,” Peter Daou told ABC News. “You use the tools as a means to engage with people and to connect with them, and have them connect with one another.”

That is enough of these. You can find more on the web page

There is actually a direct link to this tab

Writing

There are some samples on the page. This Dec 1, 2016 article may indicate that Peter was involved in the new democratic slogan SOSDD Same old Shit Different Day , or A Better Deal, or whatever it was

The Way Forward for Democrats: Your Message Works, Fight HARDER for It

I’ve spent 15 years as a progressive activist working within the Democratic Party. In the aftermath of November 8th, I’ve shared some of my thoughts on the way forward in two tweetstorms, compiled below.

First, I want to dispense with all the hand-wringing and overwrought analysis of Hillary’s Electoral College loss. The reality is painfully simple: Her public image was viciously and relentlessly attacked by right, left and media and the damage ultimately proved too much to surmount. Despite one of the greatest character assassinations in political history, she’s still on track to win the popular vote by a convincing margin.

And finally this one. While there is a direct link, I don't know if you deserve to get it. But you can get it from his web page

Music
Peter’s discography includes more than 500 recordings, from experimental jazz to deep house. Listen to highlights of his work.

I wonder if he does the same old shit over and over again like he advises the democratic party to do?

I did a search to see if Peter had come to the rescue of Kamala Harris, but didn't see it. For sure he is still working for the democratic establishment.

@Arrow Or big sister in this case.

You just don't GET it. You Bernie [insert derisive expletive/slander here].
You really need that new tee shirt..."I'm with -> Her TOO". That will set you right.
You know we have 3 years to groom her and promote her. She needs to be sold (with the proper brand and messaging) and hard too.

You know what era we live in. You need to "Love Big Brother"

@HenryAWallace and sexist too!

Margaret Kimberly bags on Kamala:

https://www.blackagendareport.com/kamal_harris_new_obama

According to recent press reports, California’s newly elected senator Kamala Harris has begun her turn on the rich people’s casting couch. Harris won’t have to run for Senate re-election until 2022, so the quick once over from the high and mighty means only one thing. America’s oligarchs in the Democratic Party are considering her for the job at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in 2020.

"Anyone who does not support Kamala Harris is sexist and racist."

Bolding is mine.

Apparently, people can no longer simply oppose the policies of center right and rightist politicians. Is the hatred Dembots spew at Jill Stein misogynistic and anti-Semitic?

What's the deal with passing over Kirsten Gillebrand, I wonder? I thought she would be next.

@DonMidwest
in the murky waters of the US deep state. A step or two further and he'd be in clear over his head. He's a neocon Zionist to the bone, who has lately taken to dressing himself in neoliberal drag. No wonder he likes Hillary so much. Justin Raimundo gives him a well-deserved thrashing in this article from 2012, entitled The Reinvention of David Frum.

Glenn Greenwald today tweeted an Atrios post on the article in the Atlantic by David Frum

Norms

In which the leaking of Trump's calls with Australia and Mexico's leaders was a violation of a social norm. From Atrios

“Leaking the transcript of a presidential call to a foreign leader is unprecedented, shocking, and dangerous,” argued The Atlantic’s David Frum. “It is vitally important that a president be able to speak confidentially—and perhaps even more important that foreign leaders understand that they can reply in confidence.”

Atrios quotes Frum's Atlantic article

“Leaking the transcript of a presidential call to a foreign leader is unprecedented, shocking, and dangerous,” argued The Atlantic’s David Frum. “It is vitally important that a president be able to speak confidentially—and perhaps even more important that foreign leaders understand that they can reply in confidence.”

National leaders should indeed need to be able to trust that their discussions with one another will remain secure. But we are far from the point where foreign leaders assume transcripts of their calls with Trump, let alone future presidents, will end up on the front pages. Many have been quick to assume that this leak will have a chilling effect on U.S. relations with other countries, without stopping to ponder the likelihood that some foreign leaders might be relieved to learn that factions within the U.S. government are taking extraordinary steps to weaken this particular president.

If there are norms worth fretting over here, they aren’t the ones that govern whistleblowing, but the ones that should govern what U.S. political leaders do when the president is too incompetent to serve. It is because of their cowardice—their refusal to uphold norms they were elected and appointed to guard—that these transcripts leaked in the first place.

Frum is now senior editor at The Atlantic

I recall some talk about him over the years, so I went to his twitter feed.

It was strange. Not sure what to make of it.

In the quotation above he is using "social norms" to argue against whistleblowers.

Frum, a lifelong republican, voted for Hillary and has been attacking Trump. He seems to me to be part of the effort to change the direction of the republican party.

Why is he an Sr. Editor of The Atlantic? Is this another move by the establishment blob to link democrats and republicans in a new coalition to maintain neo liberal economics?

There was a lot of interesting stuff on the wikipedia page on him. Jewish parents. Born in Toronto. Speech writer for W Bush. On Board of Directors of Republican Jewish Coalition. On board of Smart Approaches to Marijuana. Law degree Harvard 1987. Ed page editor of WSJ 89-92. Columnist Forbs 92-94.Sr. fellow Manhattan Institute, contributing editor of Weekly Standard, ..

From wikipedia

Frum served as special assistant to the president for economic speechwriting from January 2001 to February 2002. Conservative commentator Robert Novak described Frum as an "uncompromising supporter of Israel" and "fervent supporter of Ariel Sharon's policies" during his time in the White House.[14] Frum is credited with inventing the expression "axis of evil", which Bush introduced in his 2002 State of the Union address.[16] During Frum's time at the White House, he was described by commentator Ryan Lizza, as being part of a speechwriting brain trust that brought "intellectual heft", and considerable policy influence to the Bush Administration.[17]

He has denied that he originated "axis of evil" slogan

Frum left the White House in February 2002. Commentator Robert Novak, appearing on CNN, claimed that Frum was dismissed because his wife had emailed friends, saying that her husband had invented the "axis of evil" phrase. Frum and the White House denied Novak's allegation.[20]

2003 sr fellow American Enterprise Institute and a kind of firing in objection to republican efforts in health care.

Joined Gulliani campaign foreign policy expert. Daily Beast and in 2014 The Atlantic.

NPR marketplace from 2007 to 2011

A big time anti Russian guy with a 2014 article criticizing Edward Snowden and his call in to Putin where he criticizes Putin. So here Frum showed his animosity to whistle blowers.

A winding path through many places and at age 57 he will be around for a long time.

And like Hillary, against BDS, thus supporting Israel.

Published 2013 on Daily Beast which he has been associated with

What's BDS Really About?

David Frum

02.06.13 11:00 AM ET
A calming voice on the Brooklyn College debate about boycotting Israel.
Israel is a big boy. And so too, I like to think, are all those impressionable college students who know a load of bull when they hear it. BDS is not about a serious boycott movement. It's about denying the Jews the right to a state of their own. As broken as this record is, read the literature. It's not a two-state movement--it's a one-state movement and that one state is not Jewish

That is enough. Might be of some interest to some of you here at C99%
