(45,319 posts)later can be reversed without bothering to state reason. One day your opponent is a bad, disgusting, racist person. The next they should be President.
It says zip about Hillary. That's all about you, the value of your verbiage and the extreme nature of that verbiage. Sorry you don't care for that, but it is an open criticism of your style and I don't expect you to care for that.
The pertinent point is not really about you either, it is about the dozens of important surrogates and media figures who will have to strain to endorse her in the face of their 08 spewing, famous and official people called her a Monster, war monger, vermin, corrupt, criminal, overly emotional, petulant, vindictive and yes, racist. Those same folks will endorse and those self indulgent bits of venom will be flung back in their faces. 'So you called her a Monster in the press in 08, you now say she is not a Monster, or that a Monster should be President'?
Randi Rhodes spent weeks puking forth nasty shit about Hillary and Bill. Will she endorse the Republican this time?
None of that ongoing vicious school yard crap was needed, it was not forward looking and if she is the nominee, many, many Democrats from voters to media to leadership will have baggage in the form of horrific, extreme shit they said about her for the expediency of a political moment.
