Re: Clinton Hates Us (4.00 / 3)

One step at a time.

Half the battle is proving that a people-powered candidate can win against all odds and obstacles.

Here's something that bothers me. At the top of the Daily Kos reclist is a diary from a Clinton supporter that has finally had enough.

I stood by you when President Clinton engaged in tactics which appeared to inject race into this campaign. I argued with my friends and others that this was simply magnified by the media and by a skilled BO campaign.
But now you have attacked my brothers and sisters--men and women who also stood by President Clinton. Men and women that made it possible for him to win two terms. Men and women who came forth with their hearts, their sweat and their pocket books to support him during the darkest days of his political career.

Everyone has their breaking point, I suppose, but when they attacked by black brothers and sisters I had enough. I didn't need to wait for them to attack me and my fellow 'activists'. I wish more people would stand on principle, even when they are not directly affected.

Re: Clinton Hates Us (4.00 / 3)

Really, it's been step-by-step. The activists couldn't get Dean last time, but it showed how that base was becoming more powerful. Didn't quite get Kerry over the finish line. But four years later we see the roots having enough to get Obama past Clinton. It's building, it's maturing. I'd wondered if we were quite there in this primary, and I'm happy to see we are.

Massive props to the grassroots going after ABC, too. They did a hell of a job, completely changing the narrative. The netroots seems to have finally arrived.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to you country.

Re: Clinton Hates Us (none / 0)

Glad you front paged this with fuller analysis.

I chuckled last night over the prospects of this report being helpful to pushing undecideds off the fence. As well confirming Clinton is unprincipled and progressives are the obstacle to full party control.

my diary header followed all others, including the original source, She did attack MoveOn. I seldom disagree with you but here's what I worked with in the structure of the report at Huffpost:

the morsel:
"We have been less successful in caucuses because it [MoveOn] brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party."
MoveOn didn't even want us to go into Afghanistan. I mean, that's what we're dealing with. And you know they turn out in great numbers. And they are very driven by their view of our positions, and It's primarily national security and foreign policy that drives them. I don't agree with them. They know I don't agree with them. So they flood into these caucuses and dominate them and really intimidate people who actually show up to support me."

btw, the site displayed internal server error for at least 90-mins last evening just when the Huffpost piece broke. The problem may have been with forefox and explorer

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"
