I think this statement says it all that you didn’t. After all thoise responses, now you come back with that? Am I in 6th grade?

All together now… HACK!

Figures that scum like that would be deep in with a hack like Sirota. No wonder I don’t read that know-nothing’s piece of crap work. With friends like that, who needs conservatives?

What?

Can’t have it both ways, Sirota. You’re a hack, pure and simple. You’re Robert Gibbs with a better public image.

Perhaps he will have to respond whenever he does some “actual” work in Illinois. But I ain’t holding my breath - for his response or his “work.”

It’s a bug on this installation–it occurs from time to time.  Fixed it for now.

Whomever you called, a heads up before sending out such a breathless release doesn’t count. Getting an answer one way or another is what counts.

Your comment at HuffPost makes it clear that you didn’t know for sure what was going on before you opened your mouth, and then later discovered to your dismay that a foot had somehow become lodged in that very same orifice.

An undefined “heads up” is not the same as “doing some real legwork.” Wrong body part.

…I hear the crickets chirping…

Maybe you should think first - before opening your trap…

====My guess is that Obama has not accepted ALEC’s invitation====

What you did was a cheap hit piece. Period.

I see these “press release” (which is how it’s labeled on your site) just about every day, and they’re usually designed to bring attention to the attackers, not the issue or the person or persons being attacked. It’s an ego thing, or an organizing thing, or a money-raising thing. The actual issue means nothing.

====We don’t care if it never gets written into a story.===

Then why issue a press release? Why wasn’t it listed as an “action” post, or something?

===What we care about is being in contact with state legislators.===

I interact with state legislators almost constantly five days a week (or more) and, frankly, nobody I’ve ever talked to has even once mentioned your group. Not doing too well on that end.

And, by the way, only the greenest (meaning inexperienced) legislators don’t know that ALEC is a conservative organization. I’m not sure you have to inform anyone of that. They clearly advertise themselves as such on their website.

Also, what actual grassroots work do you do in Illinois? Is setting up convenient bogeymen like ALEC which you can then use to attack anyone who associates with it your idea of organizing?

Have you ever heard of Saul Alinsky, the grandfather of all American grassroots organizers? Alinsky never sent his organizers into any situation unless they were first invited. And he had real, honest to goodness, highly trained people on the ground who knew what they were doing. Your staff list doesn’t even list any organizers. WTF?

You appear to be one of those hollow shell groups that works on “coalition building” with groups that do the real hard work in the trenches but does no actual organizing itself. That would mean your fingernails might get dirty. We wouldn’t want that.

No, I think that if you asked there was a possibility he might have done that. Since you didn’t ask, there is no chance he would. And given the confrontational tone you took with the campaign over something they had nothing to do with, they likely won’t do it if you were smart enough to ask the next time.

You couldn’t spend a few minutes on a phone call? I guess you didn’t want to go against your mindless assumption that you understood things better than Obama did. Typical.
