    Shrieking?

    I wasn't shrieking when I called your journalism biased. The fact that you didn't notice all the genuinely shrieking, hostile Clinton supporters tells me where your loyalties sit.

    And if Obama is a liberal/coastal phenomenon, what explains Ohio and North Carolina? I read the full quote in its full context and I still don't see the problem. I'm still from working class Texas, raised by racist working class parents and I still don't get why it is that people are hurt, and that attitude has been stated again and again on Salon. Obviously, a few people have felt genuinely disgruntled, but the majority of readers have written to say something else.

    Trust me, Joan, I am not blind or incapable of rational thought. If I thought Obama was behaving poorly I'd say so. The truth of the matter is that this entire scandal is an invention of the press. I think you are the one who's not getting in, and that genuinely saddens me.
