So your idea of a leftist turning on itself is a blog that describes itself as capitalist?
It certainly puts a whole new perspective on your views, normally you call the center right socialists , but now you are at the stage where the bourgoisie have miraculosly become the proletariat just because you don't think.

The new one gets paid to do nothing much while the old one now gets paid to simply speak.

Really, can you name an example?

Yes. It is one of those things that is hard to track down, and I didn't think I would find it, but here is one with George H. W. Bush having luncheon exclusively with black journalists.

Wow Marlin Fitzwater.. nearly forgot about him.

But a 'luncheon' with 'black journalist' to discuss issues is not exactly what was going on here.

Me too. Talk about a blast from the past.

I'm sure that there was no attempt at that luncheon to sway any opinion, right? Granted that the method was far more subtle, but the intention was the same. The primary difference is that the Obama Administration is far more amateur in their approach to relations with these groups. The result is that you'll see this blow up on them more often.

Actually from the accompanying article it was mainly to apologize the "hullabaloo" caused by remarks made by the Assistant Secretary of Education. If fact the intention behind that meeting sounds like the total opposite of what Obama tried to do here, but, point taken.

I was going to just say "Who?", but I thought that would be too obvious.
