I just turned to the Huffington Post & to my horror found a headline being posted that the press is turning on Obama & embracing Hillary. Then to my horror I found that Obama will be appearing on Fox & I heard Chris Matthews & Rachel Maddow saying that Hillary has become the inspirational candidate. What is happening and what can bloggers on the Daily Kos do to help turn things around?
I am not a good writer. I am posting today hoping that another blogger who can write more effectively will post on this topic!
For the first time I am really afraid that Hillary has succeeded in convincing the press that Obama is unellectable, another Mc Govern or Adlai Stevenson. Hillary has extended the narrative to say that the democratic party & super delegates have no choice but to throw away all the rules of the primary process and hand her the nomination! She is the salvation of the democratic party!
I am a 63 year old cancer survivor who, like millions of others, has had a hard time for the last 8 years living in an America in which Bush, Karl Rove & his crownies have used every underhanded technique to undermine our democracy. Now Hillary Clinton , surrounded by other DLC hacks and her lobbiest donors have brought these neocon techniques of the Rovian republicans to the democratic party to destroy Obama, the one effective & ethical candidate with the capacity to win everywhere in the US. Hillary believes she is the democratic party! Obama has renewed my hope. However to win he needs the press & TV to cover him fairly.
If Hillary is allowed to get the nomination at this point the democratic party & democracy should be declared dead & Hillary & her campaign will have destroyed it. It is one thing for republican thugs to steal our democracy & it is another when the threat comes from withen. Please brainstorm & find solutions!!
