"Progressives" are dividing the Dem party not the Clintons.
The Obama new kind of politics is the gop kind of politics. I have noticed a very disturbing trend on the Obama biased "progressive" media. After "bittergate" and "whinergate" they are desperately trying to smear the Clintons with recycled old news from the Huffinton Post er Obama Post.
Keep in mind, the owner of that blog was a neocon and her first web site was calling for the resignation of President Clinton. Markos of Daily Kos er Obama was gop and they are both making money claiming to be "progressives" but their attacks on the Clintons are gop like and helping the gop.
Their baseless accusations should be debated with facts, proof and solid evidence to back up their accusations. When I try to ask questions, the moderators will not post them. Of course, if you support Clinton at Daily Obama you will get banned.
This new kind of politics is the old kind of gop politics using their media to spread baseless lies with no proof. I thought we were better than the gop but I guess this new kind of politics proved me wrong.
I call on Dems to speak out against this tabloid journalism. It is dividing the Dem party and helping the gop. I am starting to think the owners of these blogs have that goal.
United we stand, divided we fall and "progressives" are the ones dividing the party not the Clintons.

Dude, if you're taking about her dissing MoveOn, they have her on tape. If that's not what you're talking about, you're just babbling incoherently, which means you're infringing on Matthew Weaver's turf. If you aren't careful, he'll start up a smear site on you.

You are so tiresome.
In an election many years ago, Ronald Reagan made the claim that "I didn't leave the Democratic Party; the Democratic Party left me."
And in a sense it did, since it did not continue to support white male rights above all else. Reagan's lament was a dogwhistle to all of those resentful of the idea that having white skin and a penis shouldn't automatically put you at the front of the line.
But for the rest of us...yes, the Democratic Party left us years ago, when it decided that what the country really needed was two Republican parties to cater to the wealthy and powerful. Clinton himself was funded by them and it determined a lot of how he governed.
So no one is tearing the party apart here - it's more like the people who the party threw overboard years ago are now climbing back aboard and seizing control of the bridge. They have no choice - where else are they going to go? As for the guys who threw them overboard to begin with, they can easily take refuge on the SS Republican, since that's the constituency they have been working to serve and appease all along.

Seriously? Are the progressives writing emails about how the republicans can destroy Hillary Clinton in the fall? Have the progressives endorsed the Republican candidate over the democratic frontrunner? Are the progressives doing whatever it takes, including acting like a Republican, to win? No, but Senator Clinton and her supporters sure are. If anyone is destroying the Democratic party, Senator Clinton is. Just like she and her husband managed to destroy the democratic majority in the 90's.

Baseless, unfounded, unhinged, completely unsubstantiated, delusional bullshit.
Not that I'm surprised.
And not that anybody in the reality-based community is going to take even a single one of gotalife's deranged assertions as fact based on gotalife's say-so, which is all that gotalife has offered.
