I am a dedicated progressive Democrat, who despite being an Obama
supporter, always said I'd vote for whomever was our candidate. I even
held onto to this conviction as the campaign grew ugly leading up to
March 4th, but I can no longer do so.

The Clinton campaigns tactic of labeling Sen. Obama like Ken Starr
simply because he is asking why the Clintons will not release something
as simple as their tax returns is bad enough, but then Sen. Clinton
goes so far as to praise Sen. McCain repeatedly, while dumping on Sen.
Obama. It seems as if Hillary has forgotten what that capital D stands
for or Sen. Lieberman spiked her red wine.



Therefore, as an aforementioned dedicated Democrat, I urge any others
fed up with the Clinton's tactics to reach out to DNC Chairman Howard
Dean, and ask him to set the record straight:

This country is more important thank any man or woman or family and
therefore Democrats will not belittle other Democrats in favor of their
mutual Republican opponent. And if the Clinton campaign refuses to
accept this logic, they should no longer be allowed to run

for the Democratic party nomination.

Dear President Bill Clinton,

I voted for Barack Obama and millions of others have to. Your quote seems to say we don't need a president, or worse, faults our judgment. As an American who has exercised his right to vote since I turned 18, I find this incredibly offensive, especially coming from a former president. Of course, I guess I should not be surprised considering previous comments from you and Hillary's other consultants. By your measure, only those who support your wife matter or need a president. Shame on you Bill Clinton.

It seems my original post caught on with fellow Real Time viewers of last night's episode. If you were as outraged by Kingston's appearance as it seems others were here are a couple places to reach out to:

1. watchdog@barackobama.com

2. HBO contact page for Real Time

Let them know Kingston needs to answer for his lies.

Sitting here with my jaw dropping with each word that pours out of this
human Republican talking point. I grew so angry at the lies Kingston
was spewing (see below) I decide to post my first ever TPM blog.



It's bad enough Bill Maher provides an outet for Kingston's idiocy, but
then he puts no heavyweight on the panel to refute him, nor does he do
so himself. These were some of the lies Kingston told:



1. Michelle Obama has not explained her "For the first time I am really proud of my country" comment. Oh really?

2. Obama does not take part in the Pledge Of Allegiance. Kingston
used the right wing e-mail that features a picture of Obama not holding
his hand over his heart during the National Anthem, not the Pledge. He
also got the no flag lapel pin dig in there.



3. Obama wants to "bomb Pakistan" and "hug Raul Castro." Not quite. http://tinyurl.com/3dg2fm



4. Obama has not worked to pass anything in the Senate. There's no need to post proof refuting this.



5. He called environmentalists "wacko."



6. Claims Clinton and Obama have no bi-partisan accomplishments. I think Senator Luger, for one, would dispute this.



7. Not a lie but Kingston, just had to get Obama's full name in there.



9. McCain opposed the Military Commissions Act and Obama didn't. I am actually going to contact the Obama camp about this one. http://tinyurl.com/2jesdr



There were others I'm sure, but I could not keep up.
