I ask the person responsible for starting Obama/Clinton feud: Was it worth it?

[ecstatic]

I'm sure somewhere out there, the blogger or instigator who started this feud is laughing his/her ass off. Something tells me that it didn't originate from the Clinton or Obama camps.

Initially it was faux outrage but now it's become real, and I'm so disgusted. This party may never be the same again.

1. It was worth it to Rush.

I love the picture you posted.

2. Media pushed it very hard. They loved it.

3. Feud?

There are plenty of loudmouths making fools of themselves right now, but this was inevitable. Clinton and Obama are not going to concede, no matter what. This is going to be a fight to the end, and the people with a gender or race house in this will not back down either.

Besides, our party is crumbling around us anyway, much of that due to the work of the "centerists."

4. Bob Kerrey? Billy Shaheen?

That's where the first remarks came from. Hillary's campaign.

9. Yes, it did...so no one needs to act

like they don't know where it came from and "was it worth it" ..it's worth it to the clintons, isn't it?

5. There's a reason Gerry Cooney got a title shot.

Racial conflict sells.

The media knows this very well.

6. Who was the first person to twist Bill's "fairy tale" quote?

Media figure probably.

7. More tellingly, who controlled the editing of Hillary's MLK comment? Fox News.

I believe it was a Fox interview.

10. Note to self: Try to get grassroots contacts out onto the Internet.

That's where I learned the truth about the Invasion of Iraq WAY before anyone was talking about on the TV. Well, I guess they're still not talking about it, but at least the netroots have broadcast that information and that's what we need for our candidates.

8. Various bloggers seemed to spread each of the *incidents*

But what their motivation was, I don't know. More clicks?

I personally have to stop getting so angered by this stuff. It's going to be here intentional or not and, as much as I hate, I have to learn how to be numb to it.

This election fucking sucks.
