"But a person would have to be a scholar to find those instances where this blog hasn't been pro-Hillary and anti-Obama."

There has NEVER been even a single post that attacked Barack Obama's character or commitment to progressive positions at this blog. EVER. Disagreeing with a pol is not hating them. That is the difference most Obama supporters seem unable to grasp.

Talk Left will even use an anti-Clinton person who is temporarily FOR Hillary to flog Obama. And any Democrat has to know that Althouse consistently expresses scorn for Democrats, progressives, young women, and praise for the war & Republicans. She and Instapundit are a joke in their "neutrality" and so-called Democratic Party membership.

Jeralyn Merrit has had a relationship of longstanding with both Althouse and Reynolds. She will engage them and agree with them sometimes and disagree with them in others. Anyone who has read me on both of those writers knows where I stand about them. But this is Jeralyn's blog and I do not trash her friends for no good reason. Did you address the SUBSTANCE of what Jeralyn wrote or merely attack the source of the argument?

I do not blame anyone for being negative.

When it comes to character attacks, I do.

I have a thesis, hardly original, that the nature of the Internet is to stir up easy hatreds. However, a reader of this blog and nothing else,  would wonder why Obama ever was elected a district committeeman, much less is allowed to run for president.

An ignorant reader of this blog would have that problem, or a cultist who can hear no criticism of the object of their worship without lashing out.

Clearly, many on the so-called "left" --I say so-called because few progressives call for Single Payer Universal Coverage, Guarenteed Living Wage, etc. Obama doesn't either, but the old labels really don't apply anymore--leave one wondering why Hillary won anything and the farthest out there supporters, like Taylor Marsh and whoever her anti-Hillary counterparts are, why Obama isn't in jail).

True dat.

And believe me, Mr. Llorens, I respect you, and so respectfully, I wonder why your distaste of Obama runs so deep. You say often that you "Favor" Obama as the most electable, and I know (like me) you wanted John Edwards, but reading this blog and being a life-long member of the Democratic Party, I think you describe Obama as deserving nobody's support for any office.

Then you have not read my posts on Obama, that span a near 3 year period, starting with my posts critical of him on the Supreme Court fights on Roberts and Alito. I am not going to explain myself to you. Your inability to even cite what my arguments are tells me all. You have not ENGAGED my writing at all.

You write well, but you say nothing imo.

I know Jeralyn is a true blue Hillary supporter, and, respectfully, so is Talk Left.

And believe me, Mr. Llorens, I respect you, and so respectfully, I wonder why your distaste of Obama runs so deep.

Were things more normal we all would be making demands on both candidates to stop the BS and really win our support.
