Destroying Hillary Clinton

From the Guardian: How a bitter primary campaign saw the right’s discredited smears gleefully revived and reused by the left.

right now your pals anglachel, riverdaughter, et al and their merry band of dead-enders are attacking obama, the democratic party leadership, and various women in the party in a manner that is far far worse than anything directed hillary’s way.

“dnc=democratic negro committee”

“obama is a MUSLIM MARXIST”

“obama talks gangsta”

“Donkey Brazile”

“Barbara Boxer, feinstein, etc. are vichy traitor witches”

In fact, if one goes to their blogs and checks out their posts and comments it is almost impossible to tell if one is on a left or right wing site.

will you be calling out these self-identified “progressives” on their behaviour anytime soon or will you be dwelling on the nomination fight, which ended a few weeks ago?

but steve, susie hasn’t done that herself. i can definitely tell the difference between this site and a rightwing site. so why are you holding her responsible for what other people are doing? if you don’t like what they write, why not go to their comments and argue with them?

Not so nice now that the irrational Nader-hating shoe is on the other foot, is it?

I love this, from the comments on that Guardian article:

“The Right has a serious, longstanding problem with misogyny and the left doesn’t; that’s a fact.”

Yeah, right. If only things were that simple.

Well written piece. Truthy. Nothing like attack dogs and misogyny combined… “the party that ate its own” and used right wing talking points to do it. Buggers all. Ignore Obama’s problems, miscreant behavior and questionable associations (faith based, telecom immunity deal and the rest) at our peril … there still is a convention and I am not that sure the fat lady has sung yet…:)
The left are a bunch of unapologetic misogynists… that’s been the way since the “back to the earth movement” meant the guys smoked a bunch and the women were there to cook, clean and do the gardens for the nature boys. Just one more sold-down-the-river venture.
