I actually watched 30 minutes of Hannity and Colmes tonight. It made me physically ill.
But even that was nothing compared to the bile spewing forth from the Hillary supporters and Obama-bashers on the internet.
We have an opportunity for real, progressive change, and supporters of a supposedly Democratic candidate, are legitimizing Fox News talking points.
Usually, people who behave in the manner that these posters are, are rightly ostracized and treated as "concern trolls." The number one sign of a concern troll? They're cribbing talking points - almost word for word - from FOX News.
But this is worse. People who used to be solid Democrats, who have now embraced the far right wing noise machine in order to spread their message of hate and fear against the likely nominee of our party.
It's become clear that many of Hillary's supporters at Daily Kos, and many more at MyDD, would rather destroy the Democratic Party and lose in November, than have Barack Obama as the nominee.
But when asked why, what the reason is, there is no reason.
The most common complaint from Hillary fanatics? Barack Obama would compromise. He would give in. He would let the Republicans win.
They are so committed to this fallacy, that they are letting the Republicans win!
Amplifying the very right wing noise machine constructed to defeat the Clintons to defame a good Democrat and a brilliant public servant.
In the last week, the Clinton campaign found themselves on the defensive when a surrogate made some racially insensitive comments. When she has to defend those comments, she goes on Bill O'Reilly's radio show. On MSNBC, who is it that's defending Geraldine Ferraro? Pat Buchanan.
Well, that should have been a giant clue.
But the last couple of days have been a window into just how far around the bend we've gone. A story that originated on FOX News found its way into every single Hillary diary posted here. Every talking point in those diaries, I heard during that half-hour I could stomach watching FOX News today.
I hope you're happy. You're in bed with the Right Wing Noise Machine now.
