Another pro-Clinton blog calls for her to step down.

[americanstranger]

Earlier, MyDD called for Clinton to leave the campaign. Now, Steve Soto at The Left Coaster has joined the chorus:

Senator, it's time to go. Now.

Sure, many people are giving you the benefit of the doubt, saying that certainly you didn't mean to suggest that you need to stay in the race in case something sad happens to Barack Obama. Others are saying that you must have been tired at the back end of a long campaign. Sorry, no sale. Because today's disaster isn't simply a gaffe from a tired candidate; she brought up RFK's asassination to justify a continued candidacy months ago to Time magazine. Well, others may be willing to give you a pass, but I am not. And I was one of your earliest supporters. You may recall that I endorsed Hillary because of her smarts, judgment, and demeanor. And all of these things have been gone from her and her campaign for a while now.

There is no reason or justification whatsoever to mention the word assassination at all, especially given this country's sad political history, after you have spent weeks talking about the white vote, and three days after RFK's brother basically found out he has months to live. Sure, Olbermann was damn near hysterical in his delivery tonight, but that doesn't make what he said wrong.

Why would any remaining superdelegate endorse you now? Your judgment and decency have left you.

Before you offer another lame mea culpa and say something else stupid, trashing any remaining legacy you have left, get out please.

Now.

Postscript: Please spare me the "She didn't mention 'Obama'" defense. She's running against one remaining candidate for the party's nomination, and he ain't Daffy Duck.

1. I'm starting to feel a little sorry for her...

"She's running against one remaining candidate for the party's nomination, and he ain't Daffy Duck."
but this line is priceless :rofl:

[Cha]

5. Is he sure?

[IndianaGreen]

35. I love that picture of Hillary as Elmer Fudd hunting wabbits

Hillary is having a psychotic breakdown and no one wants to have her committed before she harms anyone.

[Cha]

36. I do..I want her

to be looked after professionaly before any more harm comes to our country or herself.

[goclark]

38. Is it the long campaign or has she been like this for a while?

[Cha]

40. This is the real hilary..we can

vote for another candidate if we don't like it.

“If the most important thing to any of you is choosing someone who did not cast that vote or has said his vote was a mistake, then there are others to choose from,” Mrs. Clinton told an audience in Dover, N.H., in a veiled reference to two rivals for the nomination, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois and former Senator John Edwards of North Carolina."

42. I say it's duck season!

[mystieus]

6. Its not our fault... I didn't do anything.

[jsmirman]

2. Maybe it's just hope talking, but I hope this is it

enough is enough.

[Schema Thing]

24. I don't know about *you*, but I know it was "hope talking" for *her* ;)

[Cha]

3. Wow! Steve Soto=Zinger!

So true and coming from a former supporter makes it even more potent.

[AZBlue]

4. WOW.

That is startling.

[NJSecularist]

7. The rest of the Democratic party is getting tired of KO and the netroots' theatrics. n/t

[americanstranger]

9. Again, NJ. This is a pro-Hillary blog.

Not good for your, umm, girl.

And I'm pretty sure the rest of the Democratic party ain't too thrilled with Clinton at this point, either.

[slinkerwink]

13. I'm just glad that I found ONE Hillary supporter who called it out like it is

and saw how wrong it was.

[CreekDog]

43. he has an alternate reality

don't try to pop it. :hi:

[jsmirman]

10. Whuh? THIS is what your take away is from his comment?

Just want brand of insane do you pour over your cornflakes every morning?

:freak:

[mcctatas]

15. extra nutty?

the brand of insane that is;)

[jsmirman]

17. well, we're kind of looking at a milk substitute here

but NJS? Wow.

[movonne]

12. And when did that happen...

[last1standing]

14. From what I'm seeing from the OP, mydd, Clyburn and others is their tired of Hillary.

And her paid squadrons of concern trolls spreading lies and hatred all over the Internet.

This one has sunk your boss and someone needs to tell her. Why not you?

[jgraz]

22. Maybe it's time to switch back to Obama.

Or, just come out for McCain like you've been wanting to do.

[VolcanoJen]

26. Not really. n/t

:patriot:

[cui bono]

37. Link?

[cui bono]

41. Yeah, I didn't think you had any proof of your statement. n/t

[mudesi]

46. Hey Clinton supporter

Give some proof or don't bother to post your idiotic assertions.

[gateley]

8. K&R nt

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

11. Olbermann was spot on tonight -Hillary hurt alot of people with her "gaffe/comment":

First - Obama and his family (uh Hillary, Obama has two little girls)
Second - his supporters
Third - the democratic party
Fourth - the nation

The Obama's have been treated like shit by the racist segment of our society.

Why wasn't Bill Orelly fired for his lynching (Michelle) remarks?

Why didn't Hillary speak against that?

[BlooInBloo]

16. Credit where credit is due.

[TexasObserver]

18. Word, it is.

[Diane R]

19. I cannot remember any other candidacy that imploded is such a spectacular fashion.

[americanstranger]

20. I was thinking about that while mowing my lawn today.

Talk about your 'historic candidacies.'

The Clinton campaign will go down in history books as exactly how not to run for president.

[roseBudd]

39. Like the making of The Bonfire of The Vanities movie there will be book(s) about it

[VolcanoJen]

27. Twenty years from now, the MSM will point back at this moment....

... this gaffe tactic of Clinton's, as how best to end a campaign in the most graceless way possible.

I truly believe that.

[Colobo]

21. Steve Soto is 100% right.

[fortyfeetunder]

23. I'd have to agree with him on all points

Her campaign is not just running red, it's bleeding. She is grasping at straws. The writing is on the wall.

We are witnessing the acts of a desperate woman.

[Scurrilous]

25. K & R

:thumbsup:

[Terri S]

28. Well said. K & R n/t

[Pisces]

29. Absolutely spot on. It will take staunch Clinton supporters switching to convince the others.

Nothing an Obama supporter says will hold water with the Clintonistas. Therefore it is the morally responsible thing for high powered Clinton supporters to denounce and reject her.

[Ichingcarpenter]

30. The Leftcoaster? They have been a good site for years

I'm glad they see the light... I think Hillary has committed Political Suiside, she knows it,
the blogs know it, the media knows it, the newspapers know it and even my dog knows it.

Chelsea needs to do the intervention because Bill is also delusional right now.

[americanstranger]

33. I used to love that site when Soto was writing by himself.

It was a daily read for me for a long time.

When he went on sabbatical to write his book he brought on a couple of other posters, and they're strictly from the Taylor Marsh Church of High Clintonism. Every day there was a new world-ending affront to decency (by Obama, natch) on the front page.

Here's hoping Soto takes the blog back from those people soon. He's a good writer and a smart guy. The other posters there, not so much.

[Yael]

31. Good find.

Well reasoned.

[Yael]

32. The site is listing him as "on sabbatical"

[americanstranger]

34. Yeah, and he's got a couple of co-bloggers

who post these endless screeds against Obama every day.

Gotta run over there and see what the co-bloggers are saying. No doubt, they've figured out a way to blame Barack for this by now.

[grantcart]

44. from his site look at Obama/Edwards in Ohio

[CreekDog]

45. when does her campaign move from being a great achievement for women

to a great embarassment?
