Internal Dissension: Pro-Clinton Bloggers Strike
Mar 16th 2008 10:34AM
Filed Under:eSam Brownback, Hillary Clinton, Democrats, Barack Obama, 2008 President
It's a little like the American Civil War. Friend against friend, brother against brother, and now blogger versus blogger at the Democrats largest online community:
Objecting to the tone of attacks against Mrs. Clinton and her supporters on the blog, the diarist called for a "writers strike."
"This is a strike - a walkout over unfair writing conditions at DailyKos. It does not mean that if conditions get better I won't 'work'' at DailyKos again," Alegre wrote, promising to come back only "if we ever get to the point where we're engaging each other in discussion rather than facing off in shouting matches."
As you can imagine, this generated a lot of discussion. Is this Hillary's fault for not bowing to the inevitable delegate lead for Obama heading into the convention. Or are Hillary supporters following the time honored tradition of Ronald Reagan in 1976 and never saying die. Also quite possibly saving the Democratic party's strongest and most electable candidate (which they say is Hillary).
As a conservative Republican, this is fun to watch, and I only wish they could both lose. It's also an inevitable side effect of a long drawn out campaign fight where things just get nastier and more personal as they go on. We've seen it in the Ohio state Democratic blogosphere. The big question here is that when the nominee gets resolved, will the sides come together and support the nominee and let go of the rancor. I think yes, although it will be much easier if Barack Obama is the nominee. The enthusiasm gap between Clinton and Obama pales in comparison to the enthusiasm gap between the Republican and Democratic parties this year.

NOT ONLY DID HE KNOW, HE TOOK HIS FAMILY THERE TO LISTEN TO FIRE AND BRIMSTONE HATE.

The Media except Fox news ignore the Rev comments. Geraldine's comments and Johnson'sare personal towards Obama .The media was quick and forced a "sorry" out of them.Even the supporter of Mc Cain supporter mentioned HIS middle name ...It was a crime.
The Rev personal attack about Clintons probably does not bother the media
The Rev personal attack on White people probably does not bother the the media
The Rev personal attack on USA SHOULD BOTHER the media
Our President supposed to rule and represent ALL of us BLACK WHITE BROWN.
REPEATED denunciations of the U.S. Based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans Anyone who could sit under this kind of anti-American, lying, race-baiting poison for 20 years and call this kind of man his "spiritual adviser" is not qualified to lead this country,
It is also POOR JUDGEMENT on the part of Obama to be friends with a man with so much hatred and want to contest in Presidential race .

Dr Martin Lutgher King would TURN IN HIS GRAVE
to hear the Rev Jeremiah Wrights racial HATE MONGERING.
Dr King stood for Christian Unity and Christian Values.
Dr King spoke of peace and cooperation between races,
honor and decency.
Peaceful co-existence, and
brotherly love among All Americans.
Where does Obama come in on this?
Obamas whole life is sturated by racial divide, racial hate, and he chose Jeremiah Wright as an "inspiration" with his white hating racial slurs. This is who Obama has great admiration for the past 20years. Barak Hussein Obama rubs shoulders with American hating muslim radicals like Farrakhan who seeks frinedships with anti-American muslim terrorists.
Obama and Michelle have this false sense of "entitlement" Obama married a woman like Michelle, who has a deep rooted anger and racial hate, therefore they both find "kindred spirit" with Jeremiah Wrghts sermons, that spews hate against whites and encourages radical black racist movement.
Michelle wrote a Thesis at Princeton about "racial divide" and the University Library will "not have it available until after the elections" I suppose they dont want us to know how Michelle REALLY feels about America.
Obama will NOT wear a flag pin, he will not put his hand over his heart for the alliegence or the anthem, he has not uttered the words "God bless America" and he is surrounded by all these radical racist people !!!! He is CONTRARY TO EVERYTHING that Dr King stood for.
OBAMA is an "impostor" and blacks vote for him blind, ready to sell out American values just because Hussein has a black skin. Blacks vote for him out of rage and discontent and RACISM AGAINST WHITES. All that "affirmative action" means nothing to them. Blacks are now in leadership roles, management roles, they are empowered, and ready to strike the white Americans.
NO THANK YOU OBAMA. Go back and read Dr Kings sermons and re-think your stance on TRUE CHRISTIAN FAITH, and give up your "dream" on Black Muslim world domination. Not here, Not in America.

Wright has also said theat white people invented aids to kill black people, the man is a monster
Lynn12:02PMMar 16th 2008
I am a Hillary Supporter. I WILL NOT vote for Obama if he is the candidate for the Democratic Party. John McCain will get my vote as will as 3 other members of my family.
You as why??
How disturbing is this to think this man could hold the HIGHEST OFFICE IN OUR LAND....
Obama has a 20 year friendship and belongs to a church with a Minister that shouts racism, hatred and anti-American slurs. States he never heard any of his Minister rhetoric, I question Obama, HONESTY character, his beliefs and JUDGEMENT. Ironic coming from Obama who says WORDS COUNT. What kind of change? I don't understand how anyone could possibly consider voting for this man. Along with his friendship with Rezko and William Aryes. His wife who obviously agrees with Minister Wright and has frequently touts her distaste for America.
Suddenly Obama also acknowledge Rezko gave him more more than first reported. Alot of baggage for someone new and has a different view on how Washington should run.
Not to mention how unqualified this man is to be our President.
Some of the media is so prejudice they spin it so he looks like a
victim.
Deb12:05PMMar 16th 2008
The sermons that the Obama family has listened to for 20 years liken to terrorist training camps in my opinion. Church is supposed to renew our faith in mankind and strengthen our spiritual relationships.
I dont know about your church but my church is very different.
allisonbrr12:13PMMar 16th 2008
The honesty factor comes into play here. I,too, find it very hard to believe Obama has never heard this kind of racial hatred coming from behind those doors at one time or another.It is sad to see people still respond like this and a man running for president has been there with him for twenty years. The media is insulting everyones intelligence by not making this a headline story while the Ferraro story was everywhere.

I will not vote for the racist Obama because as much as he would like to deny it, if you attended this church for 20 years, you KNEW EXACTLY what was being preached there. This explains Michelle Obama's comments as well. God D*** America? I say, NO, GOD D*** Obama and his racist pastor and supporters!

Sen. Obama is a disaster for the Democratic Party.
Sen. Clinton + Sen. Edwards = Winning ticket against Sen. McCain.
David S.12:29PMMar 16th 2008
I agree that the Democrats are currently tearing the party apart - feeding into the glee of Republicans. That said, sooner or later, the Dems will have a nominee. Then hopefully McCain will start being scrutized the way Clinton and Obama have been.
But I believe the GOP is hoping for a Clinton victory - the Republican establishment knows that Hillary will energize Republicans in a way that McCain - let's face it - never will.
Katherine12:31PMMar 16th 2008
There is no way I am voting for a hard-core marxist, racist, anti-american, pro-africa, islamic-socialist, pro pan-arabism, sneaking, lying, propaganda built terrorist OK?
ivote47612:36PMMar 16th 2008
SEN. OBAMA NEEDS TO AGREE TO A RE-VOTE IN MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA ASAP!
ANYTHING SHORT OF THAT WILL PROVE THAT HE IS A FRAUD.
chebo12:42PMMar 16th 2008
IS OBAMA OR YOU ME RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY?
LET'S CONCENTRATE ON THE VALUE AND CHARACTER OF SEN. OBAMA AND NOT ON WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY. NO MATTER IF THEY'RE BLACK, WHITE OR HISPANIC.
LET'S FORGET ABOUT RACE AND CONCENTRATE MAINLY IN THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY.
THIS SHOULD OUR PRIORITY IF WE REALLY CARE ABOUT OUR COUNTRY.
OBAMA IS THE BEST CHANCE THIS COUNTRY HAS TO CHANGE DIRECTION FOR THE BEST.
IN CONCLUSION I AM A HISPANIC WHO KNOWS AT FIRST HAND ABOUT ETHNIC-COLOR-LANGUAGE AND-ACCENT DISCRIMINATION.
NOTE: NO MATTER IF YOU LEARN ENGLISH, AS SOON AS PEOPLE HEAR YOUR ACCENT THEY CHANGE THEIR VIEW ABOUT YOU IMMEDIATELY.
HOW DO YOU CALL THIS?
"LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT" OR
"HATE AT SECOND SIGHT"
YOU THE JUDGE...
A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS, HOW SOON WE FORGOT IT.

DEMOCRATS, BE INFORMED...
IT’S NOT CONINCIDENTAL THAT THE RADICAL COMMENTS OF JEREMIAH WRIGHT WERE FIRST PLAYED ON FOX NEWS. THIS IS POLITICAL HYPERBOLE, PURE AND SIMPLE. ATTACKING SENATOR OBAMA ON GROUNDS OF HIS RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL ASSOCIATIONS IS JUST A SMOKE SCREEN TO SOLICIT ULTRA LIBERAL SUPPORT.
IN ORDER TO RETAIN THE WHITE HOUSE, THE REPUBLICANS DESPERATELY NEED OBAMA TO BE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE IN NOVEMBER. THEY WILL USE SENATOR OBAMA TO DRAW DISTINCT CONTRASTS BETWEEN HIM AND MCCAIN, I.E., BLACK VS. WHITE, EXPERIENCE VS. AMATEUR AND LIBERALISM VS. CONSERVATISM.
THESE CONTRASTS WILL BE THE BULK OF THEIR CAMPAIGN PLATFORM THIS SUMMER. THE REPUBLICAN BASE MEDIA, I.E. FOX NEWS, MSNBC, WILL STOOP TO ANYTHING, INCLUDING PLAYING THE RACE CARD
TO DISTRACT YOU FROM THE OBVIOUS FACT THAT SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE WITH THE NECESSARY CREDENTIALS TO DEFEAT SENATOR MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER. SENATOR OBAMA’S POLITICAL RESUME IS A "TABULA RASA" A BLANK SLATE WHERE, UNFORTUNATELY, THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY WILL BE WRITTEN IF WE ALLOW THE MEDIA TO CONTROL OUR DECISION.
Carmen12:48PMMar 16th 2008
You can sugar coat Obama's association with Rev. Wright but if he has been going to this church for 20 years and he treats this clown as his mentor and "Uncle", then I wouldn’t want this person as President of the United States. I want someone who also represent my values as an American and of all its people. I will not accept him and neither should any American. This has been an eye opener for everyone and I can't see him recover from this fiasco. Imagine, when it comes down to voting Americans, all you have to remember what association this clown is to and how Obama has been indoctrinated for 20 years of twisted beliefs and how your vote will say its OK for "Uncle" Rev. Wright to officiate at Obama's Inaugural Speech in January 2009, in front of all the fools that voted for him. Guilt by Association by accepting this clown for 20 years as his Pastor, his mentor and how this Pastor divides, denounced all races and the tragedy of 911, and of how he treated America, that to me, is unforgivable. What gets me, is that his congregation cheered and applauded at this church, with this Pastor preaching hate and animosity towards other races and America. This is Obama’s church, where he gets his spiritual values from. Is Pastor Wright a man of Christ and of his teachings? No this is a man of hate and of low divisive values, definitely not a man of Christ’s teachings. How can we vote Obama when this kind of teaching has been ingrained in hate for 20 years? This is not the radical 1960's it is the year 2008, and there is still division within the black community against other races because of this kind of indoctrination. Very sad for me, and America!! Vote for Hillary!
ivote47612:58PMMar 16th 2008
Obama supporters you made a mess of things!
You've been duped by the crooked media and by the candidate himself.
With all the latest revelations Sen. Obama is definetely unelectable in the general election.
For the good of the party and country, switch your vote to Sen. Clinton.

I am trying hard not to pass judgement on Obama, it just seems awful peculiar that in 20 years Obama never has heard Wright give a negative sermon on whites or on the USA in general. If this many sermons have been taped, how many sermons were not on tape and what are the odds that in 20yrs Obama never heard this guy speak in this manner? I just can't believe this story and feel that Obama has always known, had listened, and praised this minister.
