SOMEONE NEVER SAW "EASY RIDER":

Liberal Blogger Accuses White House of "Hippie Punching" (Stephanie Condon, 9/24/10, CBS News)

White House senior adviser David Axelrod told liberal bloggers on a conference call yesterday, "You play a great role in informing people about the stakes of elections," the Washington Post's Greg Sargent reports.

Blogger Susan Madrak of the website Crooks and Liars reportedly retorted, "Have you ever heard of hippie punching?" Madrak was referencing a phrase thrown around by bloggers who think the Obama administration has treated its liberal base with disdain.

"You want us to help you, the first thing I would suggest is enough of the hippie punching," she said. "We're the girl you'll take under the bleachers but you won't be seen with in the light of day."

The UR would go up 5% in the polls if he literally punched the hippies. It would connect him with voters.
