(45,319 posts)to be progressive? You were not a critic, you were a full time denigration machine, you did to her then what you do to Bernie now. Same exact thing. You bashed at her early, mid season and later. You claimed to be a good judge of her bad character, claimed she lied, cheated and sought only money and power.
When I see people allow behaviors to themselves that they condemn in others, I think that's a hugely self serving person who simply can't be trusted to communicate honestly. Double Standards, contradictory positions, and no rules for Dan while others get parsed and grilled over nonsense. Because as an American, they made money.
You spent 08 bashing Hillary because that's what you wanted to do. Now you bash Bernie because that's what you want to do. That's fine, but do not dress up your self indulgence and try to pass it off as principle and service to the Party and do not attempt to claim others do not have rights equal to your own to speak our minds.
I am a third generation Democrat with Kennedy cousins. To me, you sound like a Republican, you come to DU to 'support' a candidate but what you really do is just bash a candidate. in 08 it was Hillary you trash talked and denigrated. Now it's Bernie. I see no support or advocacy, just trash talk and denigration of Democrats. Since I have been on DU, you have severely bashed both of our current candidates as dishonest and self motivated. Both of them, we have no candidate you have not taken a stand against one after the other. What should be made of that?
And this cycle you have expanded into attacking private citizens you take issue with. To me that is just unacceptable.
