So pissed at Kristen Gillibrand for saying Bill should have resigned

208. What they are moving away from...

... are the activists who energized the rise of the netroots.

A consensual affair is NOT a "high crime." Refusing to resign was step one in a landmark fight for the integrity of our constitutional democracy.

The rise of the netroots in opposition to the rise of the RW noise machine can be traced to the people who saw the concerted attack for what it was, stood up, said "No Way!" -- and won. MoveOn had it right (for those who may not remember, MoveOn was founded as "Censure and MoveOn" ). Folks who organized through those early forums -- like TableTalk, and later DU -- had it right. It's tragic to see people like Gillibrand (and some on this board) parroting RW propaganda from the players who poured money into destroying Clinton, tried to destroy ordinary truth tellers like Julie Hyatt Steele, financed the pillory of Anita Hill, orchestrated the stolen elections of 2001 and 2004, and on and on.
