I don't dispute the right to post what he wants, just the wisdom. He maintained impartiality in the 2007-8 primaries, thereby showing that he cared about not alienating any particular segment of DU. His many posts in support of HRC this time around indicates that he no longer cares whether or not he alienates the more liberal members. There will be repercussions, for sure. In my case it comes in the form of withdrawn financial support for the website, just as I will not support HRC financially the way I did Obama. Not that she needs my contribution, with her big donors, and apparently neither does DU anymore.
