Except for Joan Walsh's Blogs!

"The Web, after all, is fueled by people -- loud, engaged, partisan people. And those online partisans have been better organized by and are more likely to self-organize to support Obama. Not only has Clinton been unable to top Obama in formal online metrics -- he beats her in money raised online, number of supporters on MySpace and Facebook and number of views on a YouTube channel -- she has continued to be the targeted Democratic candidate on the Internet when it comes to the actions of self-organizing swarms.

It was true last fall, when Clinton was deemed the front-runner for the nomination.

And it's been true during this Memorial Day weekend."

From today's Washington Post.

The above is generally true except when Joan Walsh is involved.

She is a maniacal Clinton supporter who attracts the Limbaugh trolls and repulsively aggressive feminists.

Yes, because Hillary and Joan Walsh both agree that she is the best person to be President of the United States of America.

You have to be a feminist to completely understand that or a troll doing Limbaugh's dirty work for McCain!

Wow1 I wonder what in the world is happening? Better yet, I think Obama is just bringing out the worst in people, if that is possible!

Joan Walsh and Let's Blame Obama Again!

"Delusion reigns supreme in the Clinton camp these days. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any stranger, Terry McAuliffe appeared today on Fox News Sunday and blamed the Obama campaign for Hillary’s remarks about Bobby Kennedy. Yes, you read that right, it’s Obama’s fault."

Houston Chronicle today

I anticipate that Joan Walsh's next report will be an analysis of why Hillary's death wish for Obama was caused by Obama. Very interesting, indeed!

Sexiam and Racism!

Before, Joan Walsh railed about sexism that just doesn't exist!

She attempts to make any issue relevant that will benefit HRC.

But racism exists and we all know it! It's pernicious and everywhere and crazily, it is becoming more contentious every single day. People are being forced to deal with it instead of just saying words.

This is going to be real ugly!

The deep south and the white racists in the heartland won't back off! The so-called liberals will have to face up to their true feelings. The haters will just go on being haters.

Hillary has primed the pumps and the repugs will carry her viciousness forward.

I know white working class people who can easily accept an $11 million dollar bar mitzvah thrown by a MIC CEO as normal and correct but go nuts when they hear about a young afro-American female collecting welfare for herself and her babies.

Obama doesn't stand a snow-ball's chance in hell.

How about a Column on Hillary's Lies?

Joan,

"In 1968 Kennedy's first primary was in May of that year. Not exactly the resounding justifiaction to support a protracted contest. One Month? The primary calender was a little different."

Her husband's win was assured 4 month's prior to June.

She never went under sniper fire.

She didn't single-handily secure peace for Ireland.

She lies and lies and lies and then lies some more.

I was just wondering how you can justify those lies. I know you can do it! I look forward to the article.

Black Racism!

I had never heard of black racism until today. I never detected sexiam being used, even once against Hillary's campaign.

It seems to me both terms are being used by Hillary Clinton supporters to further her candidacy.

I had thought that Lee Atwater/Karl Rove had been the initiators of, and were the prime movers, in the use of dirty political tactics, but Hillary and her supporters take the prize.

There is no base level of disgusting, vile methods to which they won't lower themselves.

Obama is a good and fair human being but he won't be able to withstand the onslaught of Hillary and her people. They will do him in!

Original article: A split Democratic decision

Racism!

"No doubt some of it is racism -- exit polls reported a quarter of Clinton's Kentucky supporters said race was an issue in their vote -- but I don't believe racism alone accounts for such mind-blowing Clinton wins (and Obama supporters who indulge in despicable Appalachian stereotypes to explain his losses aren't doing their alleged candidate any favors)."

Of course it's all racism! Mind-blowing as it may seem to Joan!

And Joan should know about racism, growing up in an Irish-Catholic environment. But she wasn't on the receiving end, was she?

My poor immigrant mother thought sending her eastern European six-year old to an Irish-Catholic school would be good for him. The school was 99% Irish-Catholic and managed by the "good nuns."

I was a dark kid, struggling to learn English, being destructively, without let-up, taunted every day by the bullies, because I wasn't a "good Irish laddy." Why I couldn't even speak the language! A monster, an huge object of hateful bigotry and ridicule. Oh, how they enjoyed it! Archie Bunker was an amateur compared to these kids. Hatred was their byword. "Wops and niggers and arabs and spics!"

And their parents were worse. "You have a lot of nigger in you, don't you boy."

But they really saved their hatred for the British. All I ever heard was talk about the IRA and even went to dances sponsored to raise funds. Their hatred knew no bounds.
