I've had enough of listening to the deflecting tactic of waving any logical criticism of Team Obama's actual words and actions as racist, whether or not the challenges are even remotely connected to a racial issue, but getting huffy about applying the same pristine standard to themselves about indulging in egregious bigotry like misogyny.

The solution is simple for the boyz in the blogz who like to draw b(.)(.)bs on the enemy du jour before they smack their straw(wo)man around.

Make the case based on what's immediately at hand. Own it, explain it (if you like) or deal with whoever's in your face at that moment on mutual terms. Have the fracas but don't get in a bunch if someone tosses back what you tossed using the cunning Rubber / Glue akido.

The Obama Roolz double-standard is like a vertical rock-climbing cliff here.

I'm sympathetic to the case of watchdogging language, including one's own, but tend to be slovenly about the social chore of continually mopping up the slime trails behind other people's messy brains.

Sticking their noses in it does have cumulative value though, since we all have to share the planetary confines. I've had my own nose stuck in my words and actions plenty of times.

Heck, I bet even now he won't say anything good about Hillary, even though she came out in the strongest support of gay rights I've seen for her in the public eye.

Watch her advocacy today, from the Ellen talk show.  Great personal anecdote on gay rights:

I'm just trying to figure out why middle-aged guys are young and hip for supporting Obama but anyone who supports HRC is stereotypically characterized as a racist hatchet-faced old white woman. HRC's support runs the gamut.

Neither the math nor the rear view you're not seeing isn't flattering, guys.

The self-flattery is as wanky as the boobtopia presented in the glory days of mildewing "liberal" centerfold mags, where "equality" meant an expanded available pool of fantasy playmates in every slightly off-white shade imaginable and the shared attribute of mute indulgence.

Never would have believed that any let alone so many "progressive" blogs would slant coverage, demonize, contort and worship their candidate like a God.  

So reminiscent of right-wing media and operatives.

If Obama is nominated and elected I wonder how they'll react when he screws up and turns out to be much less than they've thought.  Will they behave like factions in the MSM and right-wing media that refused to criticize Bush when he so obviously messed up?  I think the answer is yes.

Why do these supporters of the so-called winning candidate sound so much like whiny losers?

Gore, Kerry and now Obama.

Shakespeares sister is filled with that sort of very weak logic and name calling.

I said this earlier in slightly stronger terms, namely it is my opinion the name calling their involves smearing good people, and that comment was deleted, and I don't know why.

What I said about Shakespeare's sisters was certainly less strongly worded than what is said here about Keith Olbermann or the Daily Kos.

If anyone wants some specifics, google Glenn Sacks site:shakespearessister.blogspot.com .  The analysis of Glenn Sacks' blog posts are outrageous smears.  Read what Sacks writes in the posts that were critiqued.  Read how the posts were critiqued.  Read Sacks' response.  Note how none of Sacks' concerns or corrections were ever noted.

JMM's contribution to this Nu Skool Jurnalizm is to print substance-free crud from a TPM reader, which JMM of course has no choice but to featire or something somewhere would explode or something.

Not-JMM smacks HRC for some awful thing, or provides illusionary foundation for the gratuitous slam, or buttresses smoke and mirrors "support" for bad behavior, but not, of course, JMM.

And so it goes. The Too Good to Be True candidacy would even more empty without this Presto-Digitation.

I'm skeptical the Obama campaign will survive beyond the primaries based on its own inherent weaknesses, having nothing to do with HRC.

Passive-aggressive or outright, they're having a field day falling over themselves on HRC-hatred now for the UNTHINKABLE crime of running for office, using routine political as usual.

Should Obama's campaign of fluff survive the primary process, if he does close in to the one-party dream of Unity with all those actually anti-progressive forces, he'll get hit with such a roaring blast of oxy-acetyline fueled flaming it's actually going to hurt bad.

The prog-blogs are burning through their own credibility here. (TIP: burning effigies indoors is a bad habit to indulge without containments.)

There was a good reason to foster them with readership and donations when they were accumulating cred by combining no holds barred opinion with irrefutable, neutral information.

Megaphoning the "news" that HRC is a monster because we hate her and she totally is? doesn't meet that standard.

Would anybody ever write that a woman had been "gelded"?  Nooooo.  Two guesses why.

To say that a woman has figuratively "gelded" a man is to say she has figuratively castrated him-- deprived him of his maleness and thus his strength and vigor and made him into a weak little woman.
