"Salon Fan" Thank you for your great post

I hope that Hillary supporters who are parroting Hillary's ridiculing and mocking Obama supporters, will take time to read your post. That should lay to rest the stale and pungent argument that somehow former Hillary supporters have been hypnotized and hijacked by the Obama choir into lalaland and total annhilation.

KateTex and her ilk should also stop to consider why no Obama supporters are moving over to the Clinton nursery. The movement so far has been pretty one sided - from Hillary to Obama and NOT vice versa. Could it be that more Hillary dirty tricks are being washed in public. Could it be that Hillary is being exposed as an irate school teacher who has lost control over her brood, hence the finger pointing, finger wagging and specious ads on television reminiscent of the final solution in a mushroom cloud used against Barry Goldwater. Thinking back to the '60s folks, I can tell you that Barry Goldwater's politics were left of what Hillary is now preaching. Also know, that Hillary was a Barry Goldwater girl and came into the Democratic kicking and screaming, which she is still doing.

The much ballyhooed "experienced" Hillary has bodies of a lot of committed Democrats in her stinky closet. She is nothing more than an opportunist (why would she stay in a marriage where her husband cheated throughout their married life together, if not to ride on his coattails? This is not love folks, but blind ambition). All her friendships are opportunistic. Look up how she treated the much respected and revered women such as Lani Guineer, Joycelene Elders and Marian Edelman. Many many of former Clinton operatives are now running the Obama campaign. Why? They talk openly about Clinton fatigue and the constant fighting within the administration and their constant fight with the media. Yes. There is a Clinton bias in the media and that will not go away if Hillary is elected. We will have 4 more years of Clinton vs the media. The media will stay on her butt and scrutinize her every move whether rightly or wrongly. This is Clinton fatigue and frankly American citizens are sick and tired of their dysfunctions played out in the public arena.

@ann1960

So will your sister go and listen to Barack Obama as well? Call that equal opportunity. He is also quick, articulate, and all the rest. Do you think that the scare ad that Hillary put out in Ohio today is fear mongering?

@KateTex

KateTex says "I have lots of friends, both male and female, who have at least an undergraduate degree, and a predominance of masters and PhDs. All of them are Clinton voters, complete Obama skeptics. Also, far as I know, Clinton still has the edge with white women. And though this may be accidental, your post has a ring of class prejudice to it, not to mention the usual soupcon of implied racial prejudice among blue collar whites." end of KateTex quote

I too have a lot of friends, both male and female, of all races - not just white - with a predominance of masters, but mostly with PhDs. ALL of them voted for Obama, complete Clinton skeptics. You accuse Panatala of class prejudice which in my judgement is not much different from you own brand of class and race prejudice when you accuse Obama supporters of nothing more than mesmorized children following the pied piper over the cliff. This is a continued Hillary ridicule that is now wearing thin and which many of her supporters like yourself who are also mouthing. And why is it OK for white women to vore for a white woman and not OK forblack men and women to vote for Obama? Why this double standard that you constantly imply in your posts?

I will be the first one to tell you that college degrees do not guarantee sanity, and those not having college degrees does not mean that they do not have common sense.

You have a propensity to mock. Are you suggesting that people who have endorsed Obama, such as Toni Morrison, Garrison Keillor, Alice Walker, Lani Guineer, Joycelene Elders, Robert Reich, former Clinton operatives, The Nation, and tons of major editorial endorsements, are doing so because they are in thrall of a hypnotic Rasputin and therefore have left their brains in some liquid solution?

And now the fear mongering with the nefarious ad on TV. Is this an act of an intelligent and compassionate woman or of one who has to win at all costs, the last gasp of a dynastic climber?

Feast your eyes on the list of Obama endorsers

http://sciencesense-eyesopen.blogspot.com/2008/02/running-list-of-obama-endorsements.html

Before anyone gets wrapped around whether educated voters make better judgements than those who are less educated, here is a list of endorsers for Obama, from politicians, academics, artists, et al.

For KateTex and her cohorts to demonize and mock Obama supporters is quite simply, specious.

@RJforHRC and @KateTex

Reading through many of your posts, both of you sound dangerously like HRC's Manchurian candidates, copying Hillary pit bull attack tactics on plagiarism, experience and whatever. I am convinced that KateTex expecially is a paid Clinton operative, lurking on websites, nit picking on tactics that have been thoroughly vetted and discredited and laughed off the pages of most credible news sources.

Obama's ad is a summation of all that is successful about his campaign. He uses Clinton's own words to turn the tables on her. This is brilliant in responding to Clinton's harangue, pushing fearmongering to get votes.

Cheney's experience got us the Iraq war and so did Hillary's. Hillary plagiarised John Edwards in her closing comments in the debate. Both of you would be plausible if you did not consistently use Hillary's line of attack. Who is more cult like using the same worn out language of the failed Clinton campaign?

@KateTex

KateTex..."Yes, and I'm also employed by the Mossad - in my spare time, of course."

I did suspect that too. Thanks for blowing your cover :)
