GG: "Could you provide a link where I said any of that?"
Glenn, I said you dissed Hillary, and your commenters took your lead to trash her further as a corporatist DCL Tool. Here's what you said:
"Many Democrats -- including progressives -- have an ambivalent attitude towards the Clintons despite Hillary's relatively conservative record since she's been in the Senate. They distrust their "triangulation" and soul-less political tactics, as expressed most vividly in Hillary's case by her years-long support of the Iraq War and general support for war-loving policies."

And the article goes on. I'm not going to bother to quote all the anti-Clinton spew in your reader's 600 plus comments.
I'm sure you'd like to nitpick my paraphrase of what your commenters said and what you said. Go ahead and call me on my obvious rhetoric. It’s the lawyerly thing to do. But that's not the point of my post. My point is ya'll got sucked into the Obama hype, that he was somehow more honorable and less beholden to the money and the MIC than Hillary. And judging from the comments I venture to say a majority of your commenters saw Hillary as the dark side, a DLC corporatist tool.
To that end, I repeat “SUCKAS!!!!!!!”
(Warning Glenn: "dark side" is a bit of literary license. This isn't a legal brief.)
All you people were going on about how Hillary was the DLC candidate, a corporate tool, beholden to the big money interests, and the military industrial complex. Hillary was Eviiilll! Only Obama could bring us back to American ideals, stop the secrecy, break the big money hold on government. In the first 3 months of his presidency, Obama hired Rahm (DLC) Emanuel as his chief of staff, gave 2 trillion no strings attached to the banksters, and has fought to cover up the torture sites and black ops in ways Bush never dreamed. All I can say is . . .
SUCKAS!!!!!
McStain just made a little wet spot in his drawers.
Now if some dedicated young liberal woman were to seduce Mr. Redneck Hockey Puck during his visit to the big city, that would pretty much be the end of the Palins' executive aspirations.
Just sayin . . .
Update I: Appeal to authority
Update II: Slippery slope (Jesse Jackson = Willie Horton?)
Mr. Ash asks what evidence exists it is untrue that an anonymous Clinton aide said their strategy was to make Obama, "The Black Candidate". Well, impeachment by prior false statement is generally accepted in American jurisprudence. Again, see:
"AP's Fournier falsely reported 'Democratic interest group' aired "television ad" comparing Bush to Hitler"

So Ron Fournier is your source that anonymous Clinton staffers stated their strategy to make Obama, "The Black Candidate"?
SEE: AP's Fournier falsely reported "Democratic interest group" aired "television ad" comparing Bush to Hitler

Fournier is not above a little mendacious provocation.
"Why do you assume that black voters are only voting for Obama due to race?"
Glenn, you are the only person here using that type of exclusive language. Not even Bill Clinton said that. And if you're arguing that race was not a significant factor in the Obama landslide in SC, you are either disengenuous or deluded.
Lastly, if making a comment which implies the honest significance of race in this overwhelming win is beyond the line, then you're going to have to publish some kind of chart showing what truths cannot be alluded to by men of good conscience.
You have been doing the lord's work on many issues. But I think you are being oversensitive here.
Somehow it seems not very sporting to make normal healthy folks compete against a collection of artificially enhanced mutants. So I guess in its way American Gladiator is kind of a societal metaphor.
Kick Dodd a little vigorish.
