Greg Sargent asked the question: Was The Media Unfair To Hillary?  Commenters went berserk. I understand that they think the question was asked unfairly. I understand the perception that Obama and Clinton weren't treated the same. I understand that some think Obama got treated more roughly. I understand that some think Sargent was suggesting that Obama supporters were tolerating or egging on the attacks on Clinton.

But I thought most of the points that Sargent raised were fair. He gives the Clintons far more credit than I would for having good intentions. But there's no way to prove it. I thought Obama's "likeable enough" comment wasn't very graceful. I understand that politicians don't always express things in the most graceful fashion.

My perception was that both Bill and Hillary were letting their emotions overtake their intellect. They felt under attack. They felt they were being denied things they were owed. And so they spoke in a manner that seemed to suggest additional meanings.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the Clintons are that ruthless.  Maybe they meant that black politicians can only attract black voters, that hope is a fair tale, that someone might take a shot at Obama. But that way lies madness. I sure don't want Obama held to that standard.

I'm just saying, can we chill out a little? The Obama team won. Can we be magnanimous in our victory? It's ridiculous enough that Clinton supporters are talking about voting for McCain. We won. So can we stop whining about how Obama got tougher treatment than Clinton, how Clinton and her supporters were mean or nasty, how we need to keep fighting this battle?

The general has started. Let's keep our eyes on the prize. The real enemy is the Republicans and John McCain. Let's aim the anger in the right direction.
