I’m probably not the first to mention this, but the RSS feed is completely screwed up; all that is coming through is the title and the author of the post.

The RSS feed *I* get gives me the beginning of each post and the title, but not the author. Sarah in Chicago is obviously dangerously unqualified to comment here.

I’m betting that most of the TalkLefters and TaylorMarshers will pull the lever for Obama in November. The ones who don’t were never actually liberals in the first place.

I had to take Talk Left off my RSS reader because of crap like this… I kept it for a while, thinking it was valuable to be regularly reminded of the Clinton-supporter perspective… but then I decided there are better Clinton supporters out there to listen to.

They’re not going to vote for McCain any more than a kid who says “I’ll hold my breath until I turn blue!” is actually going to autoasphyxiate.

I think we should call this threat “I’LL HOLD MY BREATH UNTIL I VOTE RED” to give it the respect it deserves.

True enough. If I had my druthers, I’d vote for, say, Reverend Wright over Obama (or anyone else to the right of Dennis Kucinich). But I don’t have my druthers, whatever the heck my druthers actually are. They sound like something a hen should have.

As I’ve said before, I may not agree with the Clinton supporters at Shakesville, but they’re not fucking nutjobs like the ones at TalkLeft.  It’s a much better place to get your Clinton-supporter viewpoint.

If it wasn’t that the rest of us would have to suffer right along with that moron, I’d merely smile evilly and say, “Oh by all means GO AHEAD AND VOTE FOR MCCAIN!  And you just enjoy the next four years of oh so QUALIFIED leadership..!”

Of the two, McCain is OBVIOUSLY more dangerous.  Holy crap, are they getting their news from Fox now?

McCain has an action section on his website where trolls get McCain Points for spamming blogs. I’d say this is probably an example.

Thanks for pointing out that comment. I deleted it.  It was inappropriate.

TalkLeft will support the Democratic nominee, whoever it turns out to be.

Crazy Grandpa is supposedly less dangerous and more qualified, from a left-wing pov? I don’t think so.

BTW, ever since I read one of the articles here that dealt with McCain-as-crazy-grandpa and shared it with my DH, that’s been his nickname in our house.

Every one of them must have been commenting at TalkLeft for the past couple months, I guess. Pretty silly to write these folks off as Republicans when Clinton’s campaign has been pushing exactly this message for a long time now. Shakesville has the occasional insane commenter as well, but the bloggers don’t try to cultivate that kind of thing like they seem to have at TalkLeft.

Mnemosyne, yes, I am getting my Clinton-perspective from Shakesville now.

voting for McCain to keep a dangerously unqualified man out of the White House is like taking a crap in a bowl to insure a healthy breakfast.  it positively buries the needle on the dumbass-o-meter

Yes, because one single comment is indicative of an entire site or even an entire group (Clinton supporters).  Maybe you can put an update now noting how talkleft has removed the comment?

Don’t make me go cherry-pick a comment!  heh.

Just so it is clear, I will not vote mccain no matter who wins the dem vote; there is only a small group that actually would.

Totally off topic, a local station in my northwest florida and south alabama area ran a poll asking who would be ok with a legal contract/marriage for gay couples and over 60% approved.  Neat huh?

Better tell them to get into the “One of the Problems with the Media” post, because someone else made the same comment:

I’m voting for McCain for the good of the country. At least McCain has a demonstrated history of being able to work with Democrats and, if we vote Dem downticket, we can possibly take care of the Supreme Court problem. Of course, if the Democrats are as lame as they are now, nothing we can do can fix that problem.

You’d almost think that more than one commenter there had the same opinion, wouldn’t you?

But TalkLeft doesn’t and makes that clear.  There are always going to be a couple people who either go to far one way or another with their support of something or someone.

That’s why I pointed out that it was a TalkLeft commenter, not a blogger.

But it’s an exemplar of the extreme end of Clinton support. It’s not an isolated incident. It could have, and has, happened at No Quarter or Reclusive Leftist or any of several other blogs. But it didn’t. So I named the blog it came from.

Still, I’ve updated the post to indicate that the comment was removed. This is a good sign, as I would not have expected TalkLeft to state that it will support the Democratic nominee until at least such time as Clinton endorses Obama. For Jeralyn (or whichever representative commented here) to state otherwise at this time is a welcome development.

And if TL has already stated that in another forum, then my apologies for having missed it.

Shorter Auguste:  Nyaaah, nyaaaahh, look at the stupid Clinton supportes, see how idiotic one of them is, it’ll be their fault if we righteous Obama supporters don’t get our way in November!  And Obama supporters NEVER say anything stupid, inflammatory, or extreme.  So I’ll write a post about one anonymous Clinton-loving idiot! Because I’m for unity!
