I have felt pit in the stomach sick, then so full of rage, and now I want to see what kind of movement we really have here. I need to make sure that I do EVERYTHING I can to outright end this with Barack Obama as our nominee. I do not want the party ripped apart. My god, at this point I am not just fighting for Obama’s nomination, but for the very party I grew up in and learned to love. I am a freaking Democrat and I want to take back this party right now. Not tomorrow when I might have to face the unthinkable in November.
Obama cannot really attack Hillary himself. He has set the tone but I think I have had an epiphany here, and maybe it is hairbrained. I know of course that the vociferous community here will let me know...or not, which is rather a different statement altogether.
When Obama says that we have to help him change the way things are then I have to ask....um, is now a good time?? I have phoned and donated, but I feel that this is not enough. I think this is why I am here far too much.
Something has struck me about the whole media bias thing, this notion came from blogs and message boards. I noticed that the outcry on the boards was deafening. The Rezko thing still is deafening on and off. It is like harping over and over in your ear. I also noticed that some of you have really got a talent for research. Some of you blow me away. We need your talents to counter attack from our end. I know a lot of you do this anyway, but to do it a more coordinated way. If we can have members do the viral emails that dispute the Muslim myth and the patriotic myth, then can’t we somehow organize our efforts and ask that all the excellent minds here donate some real constructive time.
I love it when Politico puts up some amazing shit that was published on DKos. I love it that the MSM does have their collective ears pressed to the wall. Why can't we get some of this wonderful research going towards pulling up past quotes and stances.
I do not mean calling her names or demeaning her supporters. I don't care about "feeling sorry for ourselves" diaries. I am talking about getting articles and news items regarding her 80 country visits and reposting them to show that this international experience is a bit hollow. I think a timeline of Hillary attacks that are documented would be really informative. This would take real research abilities. Placing them here at DKos and giving them to the most mainstream blogs and all the MSM.
Pounding again and again seems to be the only way to get the collective media’s attention. It would have to be a committed and sustained effort. No half ass shit. I don’t think that lying is good either, backing up with quotes and nameable sources are the only way to go for the effort not to look like it should be dismissed.
I want to make such a roar that someone has to listen to us. Please help me here. Is this crazy??
Is this truly a movement? How involved are we?? Remember when Senator Obama told us that the entrenched power will fight to the death against change. Ok this is it guys. Hillary and the Clinton machine have managed to shut Bill up. He was our lazy man’s way to the White House. If they can manage his media vanity then we have to get to work. Not tomorrow. Today. Now.
