I would like to take umbrage with one comment from the diary....
"I think they draw a sharp contrast between Obama's and Hillary's supporters...."
I tour a lot of the blogosphere on any given day, my mainstays are here (lurker for quite a while), Kos, TPM, Huffingtonpost, Politico, as well as some MSM blogs...
To be honest with you, I have seen vitriol on both sides. For as many insults and arrows I have seen flung at Clinton supporters, I see them flung back at Obama supporters... I once mentioned that I admired the way his campaign was being run and got called a "kid in search of a messiah"...although not quite as nicely. For the record, I'm a 40 year old heretic, so that could not be further from the truth.
The knives cut both ways.
I'm voting Democratic in November... who the top of the ticket is will not impact that decision. John McCain is simply that unacceptable...
I am hoping against hope that I have a lot of company... The party will need all of you.
And I agree, it's been both sides that have done it. Including, to my regret, me at times.
I think there should be a difference between a site dedicated to trash one candidate, like NoQuarter/Taylor Marsh, and sites that lean(heavily or not) towards one canidate.
I will say that MyDD and Talk left lean Hillary, while DailyKos and Open Left lean Obama. Heavily or not.
Wait, am I supposed to be posting here? I lean heavily towards Obama....but will vote for Hillary if she somehow wrangles the nomination. Ahh Hell, I ain't on no 'strike'.
Boycott?
I lean towards a boycott. heh-heh
I used to enjoy Alegre's diaries, they were one of the few good diaries about Hillary that allowed me to believe that supporting Hillary was ok if she won.
I don't like links to NoQuarter. They have gone way too far over there and look like some kinds of lunatics/freepers.
And that's what I don't get. Doesn't anyone know the difference between disagreeing and degrading? Differences on issues and innuendos that constitute charachter slimes?
Ahh well, consider this my middle of the road MyDD mini-diary.
