Michael Moore has been very quiet during the Democratic Primary, but he came out in support of Obama this morning. For a long time he was supporting whichever Democrat takes the nomination...

Seriously, I know so many people who don't care if the name under the Big "D" is Dancer, Prancer, Clinton or Blitzen. It can be Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Barry Obama or the Dalai Lama.

He has changed his tune. The last straw for him seems to have been Clinton's tone during the debate.

I'm pretty bitter. I'm bitter about 4000 dead Americans and tens of thousands of dead Iraqis. I'm bitter about the price of gas, the price of food, and the foreclosures in my neighborhood. I'm bitter at Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and George W. Bush. I'm bitter at a lot of things, but nothing makes me quite as bitter as turncoat liberals who tolerate right wing smears.

Paul Krugman, New York Times op-ed columnist and the self-declared conscience of liberalism, has spent the better part of five months lambasting Senator Barack Obama for being too conservative. His favorite topic is Obama’s health care plan, which he believes is inferior to Clinton’s, but a close second is his criticism of Obama for using "right wing talking points".

Sometimes he's on target (I still feel queasy about Obama's Hary and Louise mailer) and most of the time he's off base (like when Krugman railed against Obama for making a historic reference to Ronald Reagan). Krugman has repeatedly called Obama out for the usage of right wing rhetoric and tactics.

Self-described "antidote to right-wing talk" Taylor Marsh has long been a vociferous pro-Clinton voice on the Internet, devoting article after article to smears and attacks directed at Barack Obama. Her motivations have always been more than a little bit suspect and serious enough to make you question what it even means to be a liberal if you're willing to go to these lengths in attacking a fellow Democrat.

Today, she crossed a line, from ultra-partisan candidate blogger to a genuine hate machine simply trying to destroy Obama regardless of the damage it would do to the Democratic party.
