It looks like Kenneth Quinnell is still sore about losing the Florida State Committeeman race to Jon Ausman. Quinnell links to the conservative Sunshine State News' attack on Ausman to make his point. I find that interesting considering that Quinnell has repeatedly attacked the Sunshine State News.
Quinnell bragged, "I’ll be doing a takedown of this Sunshine State News attack on the Florida Education Association." Quinnell dismissed a poll on Alan Grayson commissioned by the Sunshine State News by comparing it to the conservative-leaning Rasmussen. When the Sunshine State News attacks Ausman it is suddenly a reputable news web site. Joy-Ann Reid's reporting found the Sunshine State News is run by (surprise) Republicans.
Quinnell worked on the Meek campaign. Meek won several Florida Netroots awards while Quinnell was working on the campaign and running the awards. (Meek won best use of Twitter with barely any tweets.) Ausman received a $4,000 check from Jeff Greene and later endorsed him. Both these guys have serious conflicts of interests. I am more than happy to see them attack each other.
I am just amazed at Quinnell's hypocrisy. Quinnell is a Democratic loyalist except when a Democrat blocked his accession to power. Quinnell doesn't like the Sunshine State News except when he can use it to hammer a political enemy. Quinnell is not a progressive. He uses the Florida Progressive Coalition blog to settle scores and gain access into the Florida Democratic Party. Anyone who thinks Quinnell (and for that matter Ausman) is a progressive is kidding himself.
