Some readers open their eyes:
Just a very short note from an ex-Clintonite to say that I finally get what you’ve been trying to tell us about the Clintons. I see what they’ve been doing to undermine the Obama campaign. It reeks of Rove and the worst kind of machine politics. I can’t face the prospect of another four (or eight) years of what Bill Clinton insists on referring to as "we". That "we" lets me know all I need to know.
Another:
I am a registered Latino Democrat and have been reading your blog for years. I have never really understood your animosity towards the Clintons and dismissed it as part of the "vast right-wing conspiracy" that is out there…to some degree. After watching what is taking place with our former president and reading some of the accounts of what occurred in Nevada, I understand. It is unfortunate that in a drive for power and power ( there is no other word for it) these people whom I used to think were the leaders of the modern democratic movement, have been exposed for what they really are. The anger that I felt yesterday is palpable and real. I really want Barrack to win, as I believe that he can take this country where it needs to go. However, I am finding myself not being able to vote for Hillary in the General if she wins the nomination this way. I would actually vote for McCain (oh, my God) or Bloomberg.
There does not seem to be any shame in the Clinton camp. At any level.
There is nothing that they would not say or do to get the nomination. That to me reminds me of Willard "Mitt" Romney and his ability to try and be everything to everybody. But I am struck by how betrayed(?) I feel and how let down I feel by some of the people that I thought could do no wrong. How could I not have seen it more clearly before? As far as the former president, I am ashamed of his behavior and if I had a chance to tell him, I would do so. He has turned himself from a respected elder statesman to a rabid attack dog no better than any of the Rove minions willing to do or say anything to have the ends justify the means. It is a very dark day for me and I know that I am not the only democrat/progressive that is out there that feels this way.
