Wait, that’s the wrong Black Messiah too.

“I Am–Somebody!”

Oops, wrong Black Messiah.

Christ, you’re supporting CLINTON. Shouldn’t you have fucking thicker skin? Isn’t that the whole reason to support Clinton, “she’s dealt with this shit before!” But no, treating Clinton for who she is, a center-right moderate Democrat, gets the tears welling up.

Ok, so that’s actually Patkin Longer but…

The Great Orange Satan’s (per Atrios) roost is a lost cause – they’ve made it all personal. So much so that they’ve created mental barriers to all contrary notions and the still many unknowns that could result in a Clinton nomination. But they are so invested in Obamamania and ‘my way or the highwayism’ over there that they are likely to work against Clinton in the general election (as they do now in their demonizing of Clinton) if she wins – they certainly won’t be supporting her in any meaningful way.

The denizens of Orangeville have demonstrated infatuation with themselves and their hardened notions of Obama as the only legitimate democratic nominee, rather than the ONLY truly important result of keeping a republican out of the White House.

It’s sad to see that kind of projection from a non right winger.

i too mourn the decent of talkleft into hillary uber alles land. jeralyn has always been a good supporter of skippy, and it tears me up i can’t legitimately support her positions, or at least her tone.

it came to a head for me when the supposed obama “plagiarism” happened. both jeralyn and armando were talking real smack, saing obama was finished.

i would have happily given them their opinion that it was a bad thing for obama to have done (tho i don’t think i was) or that it was going to hurt him (which it didn’t), i was aghast at the intensity of schedenfreude pouring out of their site.

i miss the old talkleft that prided itself on objectivity in all things.

as for taylor marsh, who also supported skippy from the beginning, all i can say it instaputz calls her norma desmond. and it works for me.

On the other hand, McCain *already has said that*.

So, if not Obama…

… do you want someone who it’ll take another year and a half to decide to invade Iran based on our worst-case scenario of Beltway politics, or someone who is already set on it by January 24th, 2009 and is in fact running on that platform?

I don’t. I think if she is elected, in the summer of 2010 or so a group of neocons, Iranian exiles, and oil company execs will tell her that we need to invade Iran because they have nuclear weapons ready to use against us at 45 minutes’ notice and she’ll say “sounds good to me!” I think electing Hillary will just mean a continuation of trash politics, like the Jeremiah Wright nonsense. I think she is owned by health insurance corporations. And I think if she were smart, she wouldn’t be paying that slimeball Mark Penn millions of dollars to drive her campaign off a cliff.

And Jeralyn still has good things to say about Glenn Reynolds’s punditry — always has.

Of *course* TL-ers are die-hard Clinton supporters. Of *course* they think everyone to their perceived left is a threat.

Sorta says it all right there. They’d be perfectly happy to see Clinton steal the nomination from the rightful winner. Now that’d be a crime against democracy.

I don’t know why those people don’t realize that if Hillary gets the nomination through underhanded tactics, all hell’s gonna break loose on the convention floor before a national audience. The party will tear in two, and there’ll be no way Clinton can build a winning coalition from what’ll be left over.

I’ll be there to protest it as part of Plan Jericho.
