Re: It depends on whether I hear favorable things (none / 0)

Talk Left is filled with commentators gleefully promising to vote McCain. My little foray to NoQuarter yesterday revealed even more bile frothing up.

They want us to beg them for their vote. As soon as one engages them though one quickly realizes that there is no appeasing them. Nothing will make them happy.

So the best bet is to ignore these people. Give them their space. And punish with extreme prejudice those who are actively fighting against the Democratic nominee.

I believe left leaning blogs should stop supporting Talk Left or No Quarter. Punish them for stirring up racist hatred. Don't link to them and take them off your blogroll.

Re: It depends on whether I hear favorable things (none / 1)

I have more of a layman's diagnosis: they are CUCKOO for Clinton. And no doubt love the attention the ditto heads are lavishing upon them as they visit those sites. Unfortunately for them, it's a very short-sighted strategy for a blog. I doubt 6 months from now there will be middle-age female Hillary supporters doing the blogging thing on TalkLeft. In fact, I'm sure the typical middle-aged supporter of Hillary is diametrically opposed to Jeralyn's criminal defense positions.

Pay attention to me! (none / 0)

That's the sum of these people. It's why a lot of them have animosity towards Obama; he didn't directly pander to the blogosphere, so they felt ignored and marginalized. So they want to be all Veruca Salt about everything and don't care how they look. Sad.

That Veruca Salt bit made me laugh. :)

We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty.

Now the real work begins.

Re: Pay attention to me! (none / 0)

Yes. And a lot of these "senior" women have become celebrities in their own minds. They haven't had that much attention, fun, or impact (at least in theory) in their lives.

Re: It depends on whether I hear favorable things (none / 0)

Yeah, I agree with this approach. We should be reaching out to the rank-and-file Clinton supporters. And Obama should reach out and engage Clinton herself. But we should not in any way engage or support, by default with links to their blogs, No Quarter, Talk Left, or any of the other rabid anti-Obamists.

These people have boxed themselves into a corner of their own making. They want to threaten to vote for McCain, against their own self-interests, fine. Let them have their tantrums. But they are becoming more irrelevant by the minute.

Re: It depends on whether I hear favorable things (none / 0)

Oh, and Clinton should concede the race asap and begin campaigning for Obama. I believe that's how we'll reunite the party.

Re: It depends on whether I hear favorable things (none / 0)

There is NO reaching out to people like this. NONE.
They are never to be trusted again.
I get an mail from NQ.

A recent sample of their insanity:

John Fund of the Wall Street Journal was on Laura Ingraham's show this morning, talking about the bombshell, according to our own No Quarter author Bud White.
Bob Beckel, Democratic analyst for Fox News, reported on TV already that a "bombshell" is coming out tomorrow
VIDEO BELOW. Here are written reports to date (and I will ADD MORE as they come in) -- and I am adding the DEVASTATING electoral college projections up at HillBuzz that further underscore Obama's unelectability. Obama is toast.

John Fund, Wall Street Journal:

"Indeed, rumors are swirling on the campaign trail that a new video will soon surface featuring Mrs. Obama appearing on a panel with radical speakers during which she makes more controversial statements."

Bob Beckel on Fox News, via HillBuzz blog:

he has been told by numerous people,(enough and in a way that convinced him) that a bombshell will be dropping tomorrow about Michele Obama.

The Friends turned white and asked what it might be...was it worse than a college thesis? Bob said--Oh yes, in a BIG way. He said that the Repubs were behind it and it was dumb because it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee. ...

READ THAT ONE AGAIN: "it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee ..."

I AM PUTTING THE VIDEO BELOW THE FOLD TO LESSEN STRESS ON THE SERVER:

A.P. Is Wrong -- and KARL ROVE's Analyses Are SPOT ON! Obama is limping, wounded ... cannot win in November

Posted: 03 Jun 2008 10:33 AM CDT

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM CLINTON CAMPAIGN:

The AP story is incorrect. Senator Clinton will not concede the nomination this evening.

(We know the source of this story, don't we. It's Barack Obama's Chicago-corrupt machine trying to suppress voter turnout in South Dakota and Montana -- they are freaking out at his HORRIBLE poll numbers. Obama and his GANG OF THUGS campaign staff will do ANYTHING to win. AND this team of THUGS has regularly used VOTER SUPPRESSION TRICKERY.) NOW KARL ROVE -- BRILLIANT and spot-on analyses from Fox News last night:
