Liberal bloggers continue to slam Clinton for her attacks on Obama during the ABC News debate:
Daily Kos' Markos Moulitsas: "Clinton has chosen her side, and it's of the corporatist status quo. That's no surprise. There's a reason she's in the leadership of the DLC. She may think that economically distressed Americans are 'optimistic' and 'resilient' and oh-so freakin' happy to lose their jobs and face few economic opportunities. All she's had to do is throw in a nice dose of San Francisco bashing (you know, the place where those gays live!), and her message is now indistinguishable from John McCain or Sean Hannity."
First, probably because I'm a lesbian, I wonder why the king of the Orange Sippy Cup™ tied SFO with "where those gays live!" Says more about *cough* him than it does Hillary Clinton who is far more LGBT-friendly than Mr. Homophobe as you can read here, here, here, midway down here, and LGBT irony alert, blast from the Hillary Haters Club past here.
When Hillary mentioned Obama's SFO fundraiser, I heard her tying Obama to Pelosi, who favors the Illinois senator. Where's Madam Speaker's congressional district? Ooooh, will I be slobbered on if I say, San Francisco? Well, I'm not homophobic and unafraid to name that city but some people seem to automatically associate it with gays and lesbians. Why is that?! We live all over the United States. Can you believe it?! I could rattle off lots of lesbian and gay hotspots--LA, Santa Fe, Miami, NYC--but the Damron City Guide already has and it covers 75 cities.
Is the Blog Boy inventing a storyline--"San Francisco bashing"--out of thin air from his perch on the pique peak of Mt. Orange Sippy Cup™? Gays and lesbians love Hillary. She has marched in our Gay Pride parades. Chelsea campaigns at our gay bars. And Hillary Clinton has not invited an ex-gay homophobe over the objections of the LGBT community to fundraise for her. But Obama did.
Is the kiddie king trying to twist the truth to undermine LGBT support of Clinton in a big state like California that delivers a lot of electoral punch? 'Cause a large number of self-respecting gays and lesbians like moi won't GOTV for Mr. Homophobe if he's on the November ballot. Or is he just slobbering? Could be both.
As to the "corporatist status quo" smear, smell the Obama hypocrisy here. Are facts out of fashion at the Orange Sippy Cup™? Or are they embargoed, shut up in a deep freeze to benefit The Precious?
And this drool dripping in sarcasm:
She may think that economically distressed Americans are 'optimistic' and 'resilient' and oh-so freakin' happy to lose their jobs and face few economic opportunities. . .and her message is now indistinguishable from John McCain or Sean Hannity.
*Sigh* It's sad to see someone so in need of intervention from disingenuous BS.
Maybe the Orange Sippy Cup™ king can find a Unity Pony in all the pony sh*t he's wading in but he's delusional to suggest that it exists. Blaming Hillary for voters disliking Barry the Unelectable, sweetie darling, just makes us appreciate Clinton more.
Keep it twirling, boyz. The faux outrage just makes the Democratic leadership appear inept or corrupt for selecting big bucks over competence if they pick The Precious over Hillary Clinton.

I don't know who coined the "Unity Pony" but I see it most often at Lambert's blog at Corrente. And "The Precious" by Anglachel.
