- MORE: Progressive Derangement Syndrome
The Republicans have good reason to hate both the Clintons - Hillary and Bill beat them. Repeatedly. The Democrats have no good reason to hate the Clintons - they beat Republicans repeatedly. Indeed, most Democrats love these two and are proud as punch about them. It''s not as though the party has had significant success otherwise. So, what gives? What is going on with this fanatical and self-destructive behavior on the part of alleged progressives? The closer you look, the more deranged it gets.
Obama goes to a fuindraiser thrown by a Republican billionaire, collecting 2.5 million dollars from the event, and talks about working class and rural Democratic voters as pathetic, bitter losers who have to console themselves gor their loserdom by shooting off guns and believing in superstitions and fairy tales.

- Progressive Derangement Syndrome
I feel like I''ve stepped through the looking glass.
On the one hand, I read news articles about working class voters voicing their dismay and anger at Obama for dissing them at a fundraiser. On the other hand, I read comments and blog quotes confidently proclaiming that Obama has successfully dodged the bullet of negative fallout. Why, because the media ****** on MSNBC don''t talk about it?
There is a disconnect between Obamacans (which more clearly defines the particular participants than "liberal elite" or "wine track liberals"), particularly those in the blogosphere, and reality that is increasing exponentially. The less their version of the How the World Must Be corresponds to the everyday fabric of American lives, the more stridently they insist that All Is Well. I''ve come to the conclusion that it''s not just campaign hype, either, or trying to put on a good face. They really do think that if they say something three times with conviction, that makes it true. Something has rotted the brains of previously reasonable people.

- Its amazing how such a total non-issue can be pushed by a desperate campaign trying to find anything it can to salvage their chances of winning the nomination. This whole event will backfire on Hillary - she has already put out negative ads regarding this situation and any american, big city or rural, should be disgusted by it. Once again Hillary shows her true colors utilizing negativity and fear to bring a candidate down to her level as she does not have the ability to rise to his.
STAND UP AMERICA AND TELL HER ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

- Snob-gate, Class War, and a Chance to Redefine the Party
By Bud WhitecloseAuthor: It is, I believe, the faith in our fellow citizens as individuals and as people that lies at the heart of the liberal faith.
%u2013 The Meaning of Liberalism John F. Kennedy
The civil war now being waged in the Democratic Party gives us an opportunity to redefine liberalism and the Party itself. The sexism and elitism by the blogger boyz is one part of this civil war. It%u2019s largely a class war:
The Democratic primaries have been skewed for decades by the presence of large numbers of upper-middle class elitists concerned about environmentalism, race and gender quotas, balanced budgets, good government, corruption, gridlock, excessive partisanship, and related issues. They are not interested in the minimum wage, trade union rights, stopping home foreclosures, and other kitchen table concerns of the less well off.
The blogger Anglachel ...perfectly the attitude of the Typical Chardonnay People Obama confided to last weekend:
the %u201Cwine track%u201D cadre of the Democratic party has no clue about working class America except for their own strange blend of bitter, bible-thumping rubes who just can%u2019t grasp the big picture, the poor things, ..
Snob-gate has made me think about why I%u2019m a proud American and Democrat and the direction we should move our party. Here%u2019s a few reasons:...

I''m a progressive, liberal, independent voter. I''m not embarrassed about it, no matter how you conservatives try to paint yourselves as morally superior.
Conservatives have a PROVEN record of failure on EVERYTHING - the war, the economy, health care, social security.....
If I was a conservative, I would walk around with a bag on my head - like a New Orleans Saints fan fron the 80''s!!!

- So, Obama is a human being just like the rest of us? Flawed, imperfect, sometimes inconsistent? Surprise, surprise. Given that revelation, I still like him - the sheen may have worn off to some extent but I still think he''ll be a better president than Clinton.
