And on many left-wing sites like DKos (and, to be fair, pro-Hill sites like no quarter and taylor marsh) :-)

FDL (like Digby) has been quite fair in this regard and many thanks to Jane and Christie and others for keeping it open to diverse opinions.

Enjoyed your feisty take. That passive-aggressive knock is very true. Note how he brought in the “Clinton” years along with the Bush years in his “bitter” speech in San Fran. The only successful democratic presidency in nearly a generation, and he disses it as though it were equivalent to the current disastrous presidency. And this wasn’t the first time he selectively downplayed the first two-term democratic presidency since FDR. In Nevada he insinuated in Orwellian terms that the Reagan years was more successful than the Clinton years!</p> Hey Juno, you are not the only one here who sees that the “emperor” has no clothes.

BTW it was never about how I feel because I could care less what others think of me (it’s just the internet) it was more of trying to point out the imbalance of expecting people to respect ypur view points and not attack you over them and vice versa.

With that, I bid you a good evening
