In all fairness (5.00 / 1) (#10)
by Deadalus on Mon Apr 07, 2008 at 04:32:55 PM EST
Greg Sargent has been up to some questionable anti-Obama tactics, and the Hillary supporters on TPM (if they are in fact Hillary supporters) are not very good emissaries. So maybe going over there and being sane would be a good thing. On this point, has anyone ever accused a MAN of castrating another man? I can't think of an example. It's pretty galling that he used this analogy--inartful and unhelpful. They don't admit mistakes easily over there though.

but I think as prominent progressive/Dem bloggers, the onus is on them to try to support both candidates. It's not up to me to try to police them and point out when they are being blatantly unfair to one candidate over another.

I don't even mind if they prefer Obama to HRC, I just don't approve of the hate. I won't approve of it by giving them my traffic any more. Same goes for Aravosis and Kos.

However they usually use the word emasculation rather than castration.

"Greg Sargent has been up to some questionable anti-Obama tactics"

Yeah?  Like what?  Only thing I ever see him do is try to report fairly about Clinton, and he gets regularly crucified for it by the Obama fanatics in the comments.

That's what "going over there and being sane" gets you, and why I no longer bother.

Me too (5.00 / 1) (#79)

I tried for a long time, but finally just couldn't do it anymore.  No one is really listening to anyone over there anymore, just trying to score points.  I can get caught up in that too, and play that game, but I find life is too short.
