READER ALERT! THIS IS A THIRD STAGE SMUG ALERT! I intend to link to a piece on the Huffington Post. Should you decide to click it is entirely possible your head will be filled with gooey, drippy, condescension. You are warned!
Onward. A few weeks ago I expressed some interest in what would happen to Obamites as their leader was slowly stripped of his messianic veneer. Both the facts of his life and his campaign's conduct and dissembling would lead inevitably to some rough cognitive dissonance and the most delusional would have to make mental room for the truth, or splinter. Marcy Winograd is having her breakdown moment now.
One the main pillars of the BIG OBAMA LIE was that he was RFK redux: a great hope for expansion and inclusion. The facts, told a another tale: looking at how he's won previous campaigns and his attitude toward Florida and action in Michigan were and are decidedly exclusionary and anti-democratic. This week Obama's peeps purged a whopping 900 people from the California delegate candidates list. That is the list of folks who put their name in the hat to be elected as Obama delegates. This has a left a rump group of candidates that do not include many of Obama's most committed volunteers - including poor Ms. Winograd. Whose left? The biggest bundlers (people who collect a lot of dough). Ms. Marcy expresses surprise at this action. Of course, if she had actually judged the man by his actions and not been sucker punched by the Mystery Date Tiger Beat bandwagon she would not be surprised at all. Obama heaving the phone bankers, precinct walkers, and Farmer's Market tablers overboard is the opposite of surprising. The man's "grass roots" campaign is funded largely by corporate donors. Most of his victories took place in caucuses that are inherently exclusionary.
Poor Marcy. She won't get to be an Obama delegate. But she can't quite stop sucking at the "bash Hillary" teat. Saying about the convention: After the first round of voting, if no clear winner emerges, there is no such thing as a pledged delegate -- according to Hillary Caesar Clinton.
Nice. She states a rule that Clinton has nothing to do with and - I think - insults her. Is she calling Hillary a traitor? A warrior? A salad? Who can say? She just needs to insult the lady as she sinks into her humiliation.
She's not quite to anger at her messiah yet - but she'll get there. She's "sad": How very sad, indeed, that the Obama campaign has chosen to slash and burn its list of supporters, as this purging policy projects the wrong image,
Notice here that the concern is with the "image" this projects. Odd that this should surprise her. Image being all that has ever mattered to the Obama campaign.
Yes, Marcy, Obama is just another politician rewarding his biggest money grabbers. To the living - that's us out here in the real world - this has been obvious for quite some time, sort of like "the sun is in the sky" and "Dinner is a meal".
Oh poor Marcy. See she: picketed a Hillary Clinton fundraiser in Hancock Park and was quoted telling the Los Angeles Times. "Hillary Clinton led us to war. She is not the kind of leader we need."
Ah yes, the deconstruction of this gem is too easy.
She "picketed" - read: I am committed, darn it! I remember the 60's! That's the time before the 70's when Bobby Kennedy ran!"
"Hillary Clinton fundraiser in Hancock Park." Read: Clinton had a fundraiser in a RICH neighborhood. See! I am not afraid to picket the rich!
And the kicker: was quoted telling the Los Angeles Times. "Hillary Clinton led us to war.
Read: I am important and willing to lie. That might just be the Obamite tag-line. It has the added benefit of being shameless. See in the real world Clinton voted for the authorization to use force after bring briefed by military and civilian officials who lied. But who cares if one can't name a war Clinton "lead us into." Facts, like fleas, are annoyances.
She ends before lilting into her self made abyss with this doozy: Perhaps there's still time for the Obama campaign to reverse itself...
She can't quite let go of her fantasy candidate. That would mean actually seeing the pile of deceit she has supported so fervently.
Ah, these folks are in for it. The turbulence as they land back in reality is going to be rough.
P.S. I see on this page a story headlined: Richardson Almost Backed Clinton, But Campaign "Really Ticked Me Off".
Do we really need to read more? Governor Toad went against the majority in his state, refused a call from the President who made him, and chose a Presidential candidate because he was "ticked off."
