you've illustrated the double standard so beautifully. i can't even listen to progressive radio anymore. my favs until the last few months - randi rhodes, stephanie miller and ed schultz - have become horribly negative against hillary. i finally said enough and turned them off. i don't have cable tv, but i've seen clips here and there and the double standard is astounding. obamarama walks on water, whereas hillary is a floating turd. unreal. it's so typically sexist AND racist. SHE can't do anything right while the sexist slurs are bandied about like crazy, and HE can't do anything wrong because if you dare suggest it, YOU'RE a racist. or hillary's a racist. or bill's a racist. oh, give me a break.

the most recent obamarama talking points this morning about hillary's comments regarding her and mc cain's experience vs obama's speech are another perfect example. it's divisive to the party. oh, how DARE she! horrible... wicked... shameless... rovian... the very people pushing this - olberman, rhodes, miller and schultz to name four that i can think of this moment - know very well politicians have about 5 seconds to make a point and that everything is about sound bites. i get what she's trying to say in a sound bite - why don't they? i'll tell you why not... because they have their marching orders. bash hillary at all costs. sickening. and besides, that, if people are that thin-skinned then i've got news for you when the repukes come gunning for whoever the dems nominate. i want a fighter. i was so disappointed in edwards dropping out because i wanted him to fight for the right to fight for me - and he didn't. i want a president who's been knocked down over and over and refuses to lay down. i don't want a fluff piece who can't take the heat of a little itty bitty sound bite or any criticism whatsoever. based on the reactions of the obamites, you people would have keeled over after 10 days into hillary's time in the white house - and she lived through 8 years of it and then her years as a senator. when obama gets a spine, and his supporters get one as well, i'll reconsider my position - until then... go hillary!!
