Seriously - someone who's got a job in the party simply because she's rich and well-connected really shouldn't be complaining.  This is the sense of entitlement that drives people absolutely nuts.

Plus there's the "holy fuck" realization that there's someone who's actually considering voting for McCain whose job it is to set the Democratic Party's platform.  Ms. Rothschild has "McAuliffe appointee" written all over her - it's how the party has always done business.  They give jobs to their rich friends in return for loyalty.

If any lasting good can come out of Barack Obama being the nominee, it will be an end to this sort of deal.  A total end to patronage is complete pie in the sky, but the decentralization of the party's fundraising is a REALLY, REALLY good start.

Because people like this really have no business being in the leadership of the party.

Have not heard this.

Dean was treated worse and he stayed in and did a lot of hard work for Kerry. Get a grip. Hillary is not the first person to get mistreated.

oops... hit post before typing anything.

Let's address this one thing at a time.

We told you all along we wouldn't go along with Obama, or the DNC, after the horrific and disgusting way Senator Clinton was treated

Exactly how have Obama and the DNC treated Sen. Clinton in a "horrific and disgusting way"?  By running a primary campaign against her (as Obama did), and engaging in what are fairly run-of-the-mill primary election attacks?  By making a single decision that didn't work out in her favor (as the DNC did), a decision that would have had absolutely no impact on the outcome of the nomination had it gone differently?  Where is the "horrific and disgusting" in there?  I'd like you to point it out to me.

We haven't heard one apology to Senator Clinton from Obama and his cohorts

And exactly what do Senator "Obama and his cohorts" owe Sen. Clinton an apology for?

Clinton supporters are still threatened and abused

Threatened?  By whom and where?  And since you seem to be attributing this not only to Sen. Obama's "cohorts" but to Sen. Obama and his campaign, please present links in which Sen. Clinton's supporters are "threatened and abused" by the campaign.  Let's see it.

You even had the nerve to crash our concession day gathering with your creepy "Yes we can" crap that completely creeped us out.

Evidence or retraction.

We have one answer for you - Party Unity My Ass. You will be hearing a lot more about PUMA in the days to come, we are organizing.

Ahhhh yes, the Clinton supporters who apparently have absolutely no understanding or value for the things Hillary Clinton stands for.  The Clinton supporters who are allowing their bitterness and anger to cause them to stand up against women's rights, against the working class, and for war by supporting John McCain.  You have fun with your little PUMA gatherings, but please don't bother the people who are actually trying to get some good done by getting a Democrat elected.

Former supposed Hillary supporters who are now working against her. It's really quite pathetic actually. It makes me wonder exactly what about Hillary you were supporting. There's another good diary up at the moment about Republican 527's. All the supposed PUMA groups of Hillary enemies are doing is adding their names to that list. The GOP welcomes you.

We?

Is that snark?

No problem, then I'm sure you can source that for me coming directly from the Obama campaign- preferably Obama himself.

It would appear that these Clinton backers simply want Obama to apologize for fighting a tough campaign and winning.

He ran an effective and strategically superior operation, stayed on message, and remained respectful enough of his opponent NOT to use attacks that might have been used against her should she have won the nomination.

But had he NOT fought hard, and taken advantage of opportunities to frame his opponent and hit back effectively, he'd he'd have been castigated as too weak and inexperienced to win a general election campaign.

It's the winning part that really seems to grate. It's going to take some time, but eventually even these folks will come to their senses.

The word liar was never used.  Of course he could have linked that to Tuzla and he would have been accurate.

And he was right, she DID try to do anything to win, but that's politics.

You know, if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.  

"His campaign called her a liar... almost on a daily basis."  i understand the need to exaggerate (losing sucks!), but i think you've gone over the line here.  a link to the press release or video would do.

of course, given hillary's various accounts of landing in bosnia "under the threat of sniper fire" and the video record of that actual event, everyone in the country thought she was dishonest.

repeating the rather public view that hillary would say or do anything to win can hardly be called a criticism of her.  unless, of course, you want to argue what the definition of is is.  that phrase didn't need to be polled tested -- we found people in iowa saying that 16 months ago.  it is pervasive.  you really, really have to wonder about her pollster...

Yes, and? McCain's desperate, like I said, Obama's getting more from Bush donors than him. He needs a rift in our party more than anyone, and he'll exploit it however he can.

compared to the rest of what went on this season.

I believe the word is self explanatory.

Hillary clinton and her aides handled it poorly in my opinion.

I agree with your point there though I dont agree with the word "spouting" as I am a Clinton supporter:-).

He did, in fact, apologize for Pfleger's remarks.

It looks to me like her attitude is similar to many other Clinton holdouts' attitude - that Barack Obama needs to apologize for winning.  Given that this was an election in which only one person could win, I find that notion extremely problematic.
