Yeah, this diary was originally posted to figure out why HuffPost had a giant headline saying Hillary was dissing Democrats but the link went nowhere. After a little less than an hour they updated the thing. It appears they just screwed up the link. But the story is interesting.

Update [2008-4-18 19:6:42 by bollucks]:
Here's what Hillary says about those CRAZY democratic ACTIVISTS:
"Moveon.org endorsed [Sen. Barack Obama] -- which is like a gusher of money that never seems to slow down," Clinton said to a meeting of donors. "We have been less successful in caucuses because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party. MoveOn didn't even want us to go into Afghanistan. I mean, that's what we're dealing with. And you know they turn out in great numbers. And they are very driven by their view of our positions, and it's primarily national security and foreign policy that drives them. I don't agree with them. They know I don't agree with them. So they flood into these caucuses and dominate them and really intimidate people who actually show up to support me."
I mean, those crazies have been opposing all the wars that have turned out so shitty well.
Is this "democratic base-gate"? Yeah! More BS. Wonder if this will make it in popular media. Don't care, is pointless. Drop out, you lost. Don't blame the democratic party for not voting for you.
It must be that extreme faction of the Democratic party that's been right about everything it said since it was founded! How dare they claim to speak for Democrats! Horrible! Why don't they go off and create their own party that opposes stupid wars and wants to give people health care? That's not what this party stands for.
