Tonight’s Special Comment, A Must Watch….

Nice to see a little outrage over Clintonism at it’s peak right now. I think Keith can be both good and bad at what he does, but his first special comments arrived just in the nick of time on the national media stage, and that he became the reasonable and outraged alternative to Fox News and the like - I am forever grateful for. And tonight’s comment just about perfectly encapsulates what is wrong with the Clinton campaign, their tactics, and how it reflects on their candidate. And that he is angry enough to do it, and as articulate about that anger as he was, I hope will carry some influence and ensure that everybody get just as angry about it. People get so obsessed with the miniature wins and losses in every day that I think supporters and the media often miss what is indeed a larger, more virulent issue. What the Clintons are doing, every single day, I find just offensive - and not just as an Obama supporter, but as an intelligent member of the Democratic Party. Win at all costs might just cost more than any of us will be able to bear.

This, Senator Clinton, is your campaign, and it is your name. Grab the reins back from whoever has led you to this precipice, before it is too late. Voluntarily or inadvertently, you are still awash in this filth.

And to any Clinton supporters that agree with Gerry Ferraro on anything she has said about this, or agree with how Clinton and her team have dealt with it, I would urge you to come back from the brink yourselves. The division between the two campaign’ supporters is now approaching a sort of sub-partisanship just as potentially damaging as the national partisanship between the "left" and "right" - where people find out first what, or in this case who - you support, and that then frames the way you view them on every other issue, which unfortunately usually means no resulting attempt at conversation at all.
