Throughout this primary season, we have to be honest: Clinton supporters did not find much safe haven in the netroots. So many found respite in Taylor Marsh's blog. And while a lot of us aren't willing to forgive Taylor Marsh, she's at least willing to fight tooth and nail to get Obama in the White House. And I'm glad she is coming around.
However, those who frequented her website threatened that if Taylor supports Obama, they would abandon her website and make sure she doesn't get a radio show through letter-writing campaigns. They're a loyal bunch, aren't they? They're bullying the one who provided a sanctuary throughout the primary season. And true to their word, they've followed through.
So we need to do something about it. Help Taylor Marsh. Visit her website. Comment. Donate a couple bucks to her. Let's welcome her aboard the O-train and show her what we're all about, and let's send a message that bullying tactics aren't going to work.
Taylor Marsh:
Some cite "revenge on the DNC" as a reason to support McCain. Nothing could be more self-destructive or self-serving. Getting even with the DNC at the expense of our country is a morally bankrupt choice.
Senator Clinton will make the case agaisnt John McCain today. She'll talk about the importance of winning in November. For her supporters, no doubt, it's a hard moment. For Democrats, it's one of the most important signals of the general election and a moment that will make history.
Her blog posts are stressing unity and displaying why John McCain is a terrible alternative for disaffected Clinton supporters. Her website has died down since Marsh switched gears. And she's being accused of being a traitor.
Taylor Marsh needs money and a radio show, so standing up to her ex-supporters is courageous and should be commended.
