Markos has BECOME what he used to DESPISE.

As such, he should now be completely ignored.

More food for thought on the “progressive derangement syndrome” paralyzing the liberal blogosphere… Wizbang Blue predicts: Obama’s Political Machine Will Try to Steam Roll Clinton Again:
Watch for the Obamatrons and the Obamedia…

Hey stranger. It’s good to see you here and to hear you are supporting HRC!

More food for thought today from Big Tent Democrat:
Would a Democrat say:
There’s really no difference between what happened in the Bush years and the Clinton years; that there’s not much difference in how small-town Pennsylvania fared when…

I too have wondered if the ‘Democratic’ blogsphere isn’t spiraling out of control. Via email and an very occasional phone call, I know Markos and Chris Bowers, Jerome Armstrong, Peter Daou and Tim Tagaris..

Of those people Jerome Armstrong is the BlogFather of all political bloggers. Anyone who frontpages has to thank Jerome for showing the way.

Markos accidentally stumbled into the enormous traffic possible by allowing two way communication in a more convenient format.

Chris stepped into Jerome’s shoes and became a power onto himself with very effective organization.

Tim wrote for MyDD, became the blogger for the very blog oriented congressional race of Paul Hackett and had a very high profile which continued after the race lost. Tim was the online coordinator Chris Dodd. Going from everyday blogger to a presidential online coordinator is amazing. Tim continues to write today.

Peter Daou is perhaps the most published in mainstream media, Salon etc, and is the most politically active. He is currently the online coordinator for Hillary Clinton.

For Markos to try to become, along with Chris, the arbitor of who is a real Democrat or not is stupid, immature and ill-considered.

Hillary Clinton has paid a very high price for her actions in the Demcratic Party and as first lady to Bill Clinton. Read the book ‘A Woman in Charge’ by Carl Bernstein if you want the specifics of how much of a price this woman has paid and how she has bounced back everytime to a positive result.

I hope Hillary Clinton is our nominee as she is a warrior that has already experienced the worst of the Republican attacks and withstood all of them.

Senator Obama thinks he’s been ‘attacked’ in this race and those ‘attacks’ show his own resilience. Good grief!! He hasn’t experienced 1/10th the crap that will come in the General Election.

She’s a real Democratic. So am I. I’ve even left some blood on the streets and recently sacrificed my personal assets and time to support the transformation of the political reality in the US.

Perhaps Markos thinks any Hillary supporter isn’t a Democrat. I Should post a diary at DK and say ‘I’m a real Dem and I support Hillary Clinton”.

It’d be interesting to see the knife fight that it might stir up. If I have time to stay at the computer and fight the fight as it happens online I’ll make that post. I’ll let everyone here know by a short post.

Amazing that Markos would endorse such a sentiment.

Thanks for this thoughtful post. I’m also a life-long Democrat who has never crossed to vote for a Republican. After my expereince with a congressional campaign and the bitter in-fighting in this election cycle, I’m not sure what “being a Democrat” means anymore. I may become one more California decline to state voter.
