I have an idea.
It might be crap and I won't be offended if people don't like it but I figured I'd get it out there.
That "writers' strike" crap is coordinated from Clinton blogs apparently.
They're shutting down the conversation because their ideas aren't getting heard, because their ideas are only attacks.
An Obama supporter in the diaries suggested that we join in the strike, but I don't like the idea for the reasons I said here. Basically I think we Obama supporters, instead of shutting down, instead of writing mad diaries (with which I agree and have recommended tonight, but still) maybe we should spend one day, 24 hours, writing diaries praising Clinton on her accomplishments.
Not snark, REAL diaries, positive ones.
The idea is to show 'em how it's done. Since all they can write are attack diaries, or just shut up completely, we need to show them how to write positive candidate diaries. About THEIR candidate.
What do you think?

I mean something like, a diary about her time at wellesley and such.
Nothing like an endorsement.
We're better than the people who are denigrating the workers' movement!

who was responsible for releasing these Obama pastor tapes to the media. Of course the right doesn't mind taking credit for it, anything to destroy a "liberal". Somehow, I think we would have seen them or the likes of them sooner, just as soon as we saw the secret Muslim emails emerge, if it was the right. Why is there a nagging voice within me saying it is the Clinton campaign? The timing is very suspect, Geraldine Ferraro speaks out about Obama only being where he is because he is black, and then all the outrage, and then the tapes emerge. Also when trying to solve a crime, you always suspect the one who has the most to gain. Now who do you think has the most to gain here? Having said that, although these tapes sound very damaging, and they may very well be hate rhetoric, who will examine the full sermon, and find out what came before and after the inflammatory statements. I find this so unfair, and when I listen to the right wing rhetoric, I think what the hell can Barack Obama do. He tried to explain, they want an investigation to find out if he is telling the truth when he says he doesn't remember hearing many of these sermons. It is so ironic, for this they want an investigation, an investigation to see if some one's memory is accurate, but never calling for an investigation into going to war based on lies. Or an investigation to see if we actually torture people. They all even balked at an investigation to see what actually happened on September 11, 2001. When I see this and think long and hard about it, I am a white woman who has never heard one of Pastor Wright sermons, but I think, what kind of fucked up country do we live in, those who have the ear of American calling for investigations into a candidates memory, but not one call to investigate the most corrupt and incompetent Administration in the history of America.

Vicki Iseman, McCain's lobbyist ladyfriend, last seen just as that story was hitting the news.
What's that? They weren't going to follow-up on that? They weren't interested?
I, too, have that nagging suspicion, by the way.

an interview & then they'll have something to report. Or maybe another blond haired woman will disappear...

prostitute. Now that would pose a real dilemma for the right wing punditry and the Fox news network. What to do, get more shit on the ex Democratic governor, and you know how they like the sex angle, or try to destroy the probable Democratic nominee? I say we raise $4000.00 buy her services and request her to give he interview, just to see them all squirm.

over at Mydd.
Plenty of time to praise Clinton once she's out of the race. Right now she and her supporters are playing for blood.

that they think this (alliteration, woo!) is actually a GOOD WAY to support their candidate, you know? Just, wow.
Denigrate workers, make yourself out to be a victim (again) and then threaten to NOT spread vile stuff on Dailykos.
I've really enjoyed some of the positive Clinton diaries here and have even recommended some.
But wow.

I even recommended some of Alegre's. But I am going to start a project known as the Obama Evening News & Roundup; I might throw in a few things from Media Matters about unfair attacks against Clinton. The problem is that based on today, the media is not our friend. They will butter up Obama and then throw him under the bus.
