Has it really come to this? Not only are Democrats bickering and flaming one another between the Hillary Camp and the Obama camp. But now we have further dvisions as well.
Now there's the Obama-should-not-have-appeared-on-Fox faction bitterly divided against the Obama-on-Fox-was-fine-or-even-a-good-idea faction. What now? Maybe one of the sides should begin a MyDD2.com site and can all flock over there and vent about how dumb and blind those other Obama supporters are.
But no, let's not stop there! We need to subdivide further. We also need two Democratic denominations according to which we all rally around whether Reverend Wright is a liablility for Obama and therefore Obama should reject and deonounce him, or whether Obama should remain with his former pastor because he can no more disown him than he can disown his white grandmother
So Let us review. We now have the following factions within the Democratic party:
- The Hillary Faction
- The Obama Anti-Fox Interview/Anti Wright Faction
- The Obama Anti-Fox Interview/Pro Wright Faction
- The Obama Pro-Fox Interview/Pro Wright Faction
- The Obama Pro-Fox Interview/Anti Wright Faction
Hmmm...given this breakdown, which of the five factions do you think is the strongest and would ulimtately emerge victorious if things remained as they are?
Well, let's examine the breakdown. The Hillary group is united against Obama right now. The Obama group is divided four ways and is currently bickering amongst itself.
If I may break into these very important division for one moment and speak to the Obama group. Can we please all shut the hell up? Please? Pretty please? Obama went on Fox. That's just a fact. It's over. Move on (a little irony here). There is no point in second guessing or praising it at this point. Reverend Wright is doing what he feels is the right thing to do - right for whom I don't know (right for Obama, right for his church, rigt for his own reputation). This too shall pass.
But it does not help matters for us to flame one another back and forth over these things. I almost want to invite George Stephanopolis and Charles Gibson to Kos so they can moderate between us all.
So please. I entreat you all...one last time. Just stop the internal flame wars.
