Democrats Already Turning On Each Other
Right Wing News has some great samples from Daily Kos of what Nelsa talked about in his previous post - Democrats "eating their young!" The bloodbath in the Democratic Party has been set in motion. With Hillary Clinton's big wins yesterday, she is determined to keep going and very well may carry this fight on into the summer or even all the way to the Democratic Convention in August. The level of ill will between Obama and Clinton supporters is growing stronger.
Below are three of the quotes from the far-left website Daily Kos. Let's just say they show that Hillary Clinton is not their favorite person right now:
"I would have willingly supported any Democratic nomineee, hoping to put an end to the Republican dominance of government. No longer. Barack Obama has won the primary. Hillary is all but dead. But if the Clinton's, and Mark Penn, and Terry McAlliff think they are going to steal this nomination from the voters in the Democratic Party, they are in for an unpleasant surprise.
I will work unrelentingly to deny Hillary Clinton the White House because she has shown a complete lack of respect for the Party, the voters, and the process of democracy, itself.
I have just joined the ranks of Clinton haters." -- Granny Doc

"Barack Obama must run as a fourth party candidate in November if somehow he is denied the Democratic nomination. Barack can win as a fourth party because I believe his support (about 40%+ of the nation) is rock-ribbed (whatever that means), while the remaining vote will be split among Hillary, McCain and Nader." -- fightorleave
"I grieve for my country.
Yes, it is About Race. Over 20% of white voters in Ohio (MSNBC - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/... say that race was an important factor in voting and they went 3-to-1 for Clinton. That's the margin of difference. This has been a consistent result in exit polling for the last dozen contests (MSNBC, CNN, Pew). Pew Research found that 25% of Clinton supporters will vote for McCain over Obama (Meanwhile, only 10% of Obama voters will vote for McCain). Now what else could that possibly mean than it is not about policy or qualifications for these people, it is about race plain and simple.
...But what grieves me the most though is that if Clinton wins the nomination it will set back the Democratic Party and the United States for decades. ...If Clinton is going to campaign as just another Bush, then why should they be motivated to turn out if the choice is Hillary Bush versus John McBush? President McBush Here We Come." -- DJ ProFusion
You think this is not going to get good before it's over?

DEMOCRAT DEMOCRACY?
Granny Doc complains that HRC shows a lack of respect for the "process of democracy, itself."? I'm no Hillary supporter, but, how is this? Is it by allowing voters to choose between her and "the self annoited one"? If this is truly the view of a large number of the left, then I suppose the recent election in Cuba is a model of democracy and just more proof of where they would like to see us go...
As to DJ's supposition that "Yes, It is About Race."...Perhaps, but I can't understand how it can be, since, in this case it can't all be laid at the feet of the evil Republicans...these people scare me with their platitudes and their blinders...they are the party of race...who else has a demographic where something like 83% go for the candidate based solely on the race of the candidate...he's not even campaigning on a plank specifically aimed at that particular demographic...in fact he isn't campaigning on anything more specific than hope, change, fear mongering, defeat disguised as victory and dispair...I hope he does run as a 4th Party candidate...I suggest we help set up his organization...just a thought..
