Are you a party activist?
There’s a firestorm. Friday night fire: The Net is on Fire.
Call in The Firefighters.
Hillary Clinton at a small fundraiser, attacks MoveOn.org (Democratic Activists). It’s all their fault that she’s losing.
They intimidate. Huffpost has the scoop with audio
“Moveon.org endorsed [Sen. Barack Obama] — which is like a gusher of money that never seems to slow down,” Clinton said to a meeting of donors. “We have been less successful in caucuses because it brings out the activist base of the Democratic Party. MoveOn didn’t even want us to go into Afghanistan. I mean, that’s what we’re dealing with. And you know they turn out in great numbers. And they are very driven by their view of our positions, and It’s primarily national security and foreign policy that drives them. I don’t agree with them. They know I don’t agree with them. So they flood into these caucuses and dominate them and really intimidate people who actually show up to support me.”
Senator Clinton’s remarks depart radically from the traditional position of presidential candidates who in the past have celebrated high levels of turnout by party activists and partisans as a harbinger for their own party’s success — regardless of who is the eventual nominee — in the general election showdown.”
MoveOn.org member, Jane Hamsher at Firedoglake is pissed, plenty pissed.
Asks, “does she want my vote?”
Go read, thank me later. Then tell who’s the bitter whinny one.
