Pointing here because I don’t have the time to articulate this:
One of the things Obama supporters would be wise to remember is that when Clinton supporters and her campaign point out that a lot of people hated Hillary before this campaign even started, they aren’t lying. Dowd is one such example- she was brutal to the Clinton family throughout the 90’s, and she has been just as brutal the past year and a half. It is easy to understand how at this late point in the game, Clinton and her supporters feel she has not been given a fair shake by many in the media, and the reason they feel that way is because she hasn’t. That doesn’t mean that any distaste for the direction the Clinton campaign has taken is unwarranted, but it would be good to remember that it is not wholly unnatural for Clinton supporters to be, well, bitter, at this point.
I get that, too. The media has been ridiculous about her, especially the Andrew Sullivans and the Maureen Dowd’s of the world.
But the Clinton supporters might want to realize that the target for this isn’t Obama supporters (in general), an attack I’ve noticed happening frequently on pro-Hillary blogs. There’s also this tendency to lump reasoned criticism of the candidate in the same bucket as these unfair attacks. This is generally off base, as well.
In other words, I’m not your problem. Seriously.
