Brazile Tells Angry Clinton Supporters: "You Are Destroying Her Candidacy"
Link



Inside Donna Brazile's BlackBerry







Commmenters on the fiercely pro-Hillary site HillaryIs44 have posted a couple of e-mails from Donna Brazile that capture some of the e-mail heat that superdelegates are taking -- in her case, from Clinton supporters angry at what they see as her stealth support for Obama in an op-ed calling on Hillary to stop throwing elbows.

Brazile responded to one angry e-mail:


Do you know how many undeclared supers are now just turned off by people like you? Do you understand you’re hurting her and not promoting Hillary? Perhaps that explains why a candidate like Obama has raised $40 million in one month. You don’t have to e-mail me again.


And also:


I just sent Hillary a private e-mail telling her that supporters like you are destroying her candidacy.


I spoke to Brazile just now, who confirmed that she's been shocked by the volume of "toxic" e-mails and responded to some of them.

Supporters of both candidates, of course, get pretty toxic at times (see the comments section on this blog), and the heat is pretty jarring to many who have spent careers in Democratic politics.

3. This really can't be posted enough. Especially since its so true of the Hillary supporters here. I
hope somebody posts it daily, if not hourly, from here on out.

4. Donna Brazile deserves every angry email she receives. She is the one responsible for
taking all of the delegates away from FL and MI. She is not unbiased and anything she says or writes should be taken with a grain of salt.

6. I remember after the election of 2004, she was dissing Kerry on one of the Sunday talk shows.
That did it for me.

5. Donna shouldnt be shocked
She deals with Republicans all day long, Im sure she has to see the similarities in the way some Clinton supporters act to the angry diehard Bush supporters the Republicans were known for over the past several years.

Many of those supporters are the same people.

They switched allegiance to what they thought was a slam dunk with Clinton, and they arent happy their influence is waning as her candidacy sinks.

9. Donna is a good person who does not deserve this criticism.
She is a good spokesperson for the party.

The Clinton supporters are going to destroy anyone who gets in their path.

10. It's not just on "Hillary44" that this kind of hateful bilge is being generated. Take a look at the
the simlar bilge HRC boosters are currently spamming GD: P with.
