This whole thing reminds me of an old saying concerning interservice rivalry in the military. To paraphrase: McCain is our opponent but(insert Obama or Hillary here) is the enemy.

I spent 8 years defending Bill though I considered him a Blue Dog DINO, because the attacks weren’t focused on substance (policy, decisions). I defended then and now similar kinds of attacks on Hillary and Barack. I do prefer Obama as the nominee, though he was about my fourth choice in the original field.

I do agree that I see a lot of hero-worship, projection and insulting personal attacks on botth candidates by some of the opposite camp’s supporters, and that they demean and insult - some show sexism and racism, even - and I’m opposed to that.

The only time I can understand taking it to the personal level is when someone orders troops into battle out of ideology, instead of the nation’s defense, or if one votes for legislation with a clear intent to promote hate, or otherwise displays a total lack of humanity.

Now I’ve seen lifelong loyal Democrats that I’ve felt no compassion for at all, so that’s not a useful definition of a character trait in my book. But the main point remains valid: we should fight bias in the media because it tends to be weighted against Democrats, no matter if you prefer another Democrat.

IACF = It’s All Clintons Fault

thanks for the unique perspective.

Did you have something intelligent to contribute or are you merely satisfied to launder some of your latent CDS laundry?

The main stream media doesn’t play fair…who knew?

your attempt to take the high road might wash if you hadn’t spent so much time playing dirty…

this link has some nice analysis of the ridiculousness of your recent attacks about rocky, “bitter,” elitism, etc.
