Have Obama supporters lost all semblance of humanity?

In the above video, Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm offers a few kind words about Hillary Clinton -- and the O-beasts in the audience, high on Kos Kool-Aid, react like savages.

Is it any wonder that Obama did so poorly in the final third of the primary season, at a time when one normally would expect to see Democratic voters rally around a frontrunner? Is it any wonder that Obama has received only a tiny, temporary post-primary bounce? Is it any wonder that the PUMA movement is growing, not imploding, despite the attempts to belittle it?

A Kos diary -- I will not link to it -- offered the O-beasts suggestions on how to keep their bloodlust in check when attempting to convert someone who remains un-enchanted by the Lightbringer. The piece was every bit as condescending as you might expect. These ninnies refuse to comprehend that they -- the beasts, not Hillary Clinton or any other force -- are the ones who made their candidate seem so repellent.

The beasts lack all capacity for self-reflection, and thus cannot allow themselves to realize that they screwed up. Their despicable behavior continues to divide the Democratic party.

Incidentally, the beastiary continues to send me hyperbolic hate mail on a daily basis. These bizarre zealots actually believe that they can convert by insulting!



Here is the Just Say No Deal response to the primeval outburst when Granholm spoke:

Just Say No Deal Coalition members will not tolerate such offensive and disrespectful conduct from supporters of Senator Obama aimed at any individual— whether they be an elected official or a member of the community at large, and the Just Say No Deal organization will not align itself with any candidate that permits this shameful behavior to be exhibited in any forum.

During this lengthy primary process, Senator Clinton and many of her 18 million supporters have endured pointedly hurtful behavior and vulgar attacks by unruly and inappropriate backers of Senator Obama in public arenas and in new media outlets. The most prevalent arena of these assaults has been on the most recognized sites within the blogosphere.

The role of the major left-wing blogs in Campaign 2008 remains under-recognized. Many people (including Bob Somerby) continue to focus on cable news. That's no longer where the action is. The on-camera yakkers take their cues from the online venom-spewers. If the Democrats fail to win the presidency in what should have been a can't-lose year, ALL blame should go to Markos Moulitsas, Arianna Huffington, John Aravosis, the DU team, and Josh Marshall.

We will never forget what they did in the first six months of 2008. We will never forget the way they called Bill Clinton a racist when he (correctly) characterized Obama's claimed record on the Iraq War as a "fairy tale." We will never forget the way they smeared Geraldine Ferraro after she (correctly) said that a black candidate has an advantage over a female candidate. We will never forget the deliberate misinterpretation of Hillary's remarks about RFK -- and we will never forget the disgusting Kossack claims that the Clintons were planning to assassinate Obama.

I will never forget or forgive the fact that the left-wing beast-bloggers resurrected numerous fabrications originally pushed by the anti-Clinton rightists of the 1990s. On progressive blogs -- on progressive blogs -- I repeatedly saw people make disgusting remarks about Whitewater, the "murder" of Vince Foster, Mena, and other long-exploded lies.

Never forget. Never forgive.

Vote for McCain, vote third party, or don't vote at all -- but NEVER FORGET AND NEVER FORGIVE.

The beasts who took over the Democratic Party will lose power if they lose the general election. If they prevail, then they will continue to run the zoo.

Even today, the O-beasts howl and snarl at the mere mention of Clinton's name. They can't help booing when they should be wooing.

That is why they will fail.
