TPM Cafe has become a place where people try to talk sense to raging Clintonistas while said Clintonistas blow acrid smoke, call it fact, and challenge sensible people to disprove the smoke.

Larry foams at the mouth and is defended by Hillary's minions as "civil." Patriots assert that they'll never vote for The Monster and are reviled as "goddamn selfish idiots." The Clinton campaign employs the Rovian tactic of accusing the opponent of it's own sins, and apologists  tell us we must vote for Candidate Hillary to avoid the return of the Rovians.

Without regard to the virtues of Barack Obama, Sen. Clinton, her campaign, and her followers exhibit all the symptoms that they claim afflict the Obama camp -- in fact, symptoms that could easily be ascribed to a skinhead convention -- anger, irrationality, and blind unthinking loyalty to the point of cultism.

Add to this the fact that Sen. Clinton's positions most resemble those of Joe Lieberman at them moment, but may easily change with a subtle shift in Gallup's latest release.

Then there's the topper: Replies to screed such as this one are likely to elicit the response, "Well, Obama is worse." And when one points out that that is no reason to vote for The Monster, they come back with, "Well, it's either her or McCain. You're stuck with our Monster." Then, when confronted with the fact that "none of the above" is the only rational choice, they call us traitors.

It's the same bullshit, round in circles, sense answered with nonsense, fact illiciting fraud, pearls before swine.

I've had enough. I do this for fun, not aggravation. Maybe I'll check back in after the November election.
