Warning, billary supporters. The truth may hurt.

Hillary is having money troubles.

Her paid blogstaff was told to quit posting to save money

The "strike" was just a clever red herring

Good. Why don't you use the extra time to help Billary with their tax returns? They do their own, because even an accountant looking at their finances would be too risky.

Please go on strike. How about you quit altogether? I love tantrums - they're just so effective and professionalism. Stomp. Stomp. Pout. Really impressive.

Good. Some of us in the "liberal blogosphere" are pretty chapped about being constantly told that we must all follow dear leader Barack or we're traitors to the cause. Liberal web sites should stick to principles and stop following this charlatan. Once allegiances to candidates are declared, rifts occur. Some of us aren't won over by Obama's messianic movement. Some of us are frightened and dispirited by it.

I've lost so much respect for the Clintons that I'm not even sure I could stomach voting for Hillary in the general election should she be the nominee. I've only recently come to this after the Ferraro fiasco. Sad. I so hope now that Obama gets this. I was a supporter of his before (voted or Kuchinich in my primary, not that it counts), but this racist crap is despicable. I did really care that much before, now I do and I hope Michigan gets a do over.

good luck with the strike, I hope these strikers will get better "benefit" from some place else.

At this point, I question any Clinton supporter, especially educated ones. Because through all the manipulation, race-baiting, dirty politics, scare and dishonarable tactics the Clinton campaign has demonstrated, I feel anyone who supports her demonstrates these same characteristics in their own daily lives. What normal, emotionally healthy human being seeks this type of behavior as a friend? For Clinton supporters who are ignorant (uninformed) and/or prejudice, I understand. For those who are educated, I can't seem to wrap my mind around their continued support. So, to the Daily Kos writers....Buh-Bye.

Division in the Democratic Party? Do the math, this is nothing more than an added plus for the McCain campaign.

Ron Paul will be the last man/woman standing and he will receive his rightful place in the white house.

Oh, great... more Hillary victims.

Wow ! how sad. Clintons people on strike, While you guys are on strike take that oportunity to do some research on that " Butter Won't Melt in Her Mouth candidate of yours. You'll see for yourselves what a corrupt person she is, and if that doesn't sway you,you've got some serious issues to deal with.

What you do is you blog and post and write about how you think things are. Just what do you think you will accomplish by taking off? The folks you think are wronging your gal now have the floor. Cheeze! Perhaps the exit from Kos is just a depressed recognition that Obama is ahead, and HRC cannot catch up, no matter how much gnashing and snarling that ensues.

In the interest of free speech, I just checked out for my first time mydd.com, and talkleft.com, two sites mentioned by the "striker" at dailykos. If you want some relief from the "clinton is a monster" crowd, you might want to check them out.

Hillary was wrong when she said that she and McCain are qualified but Obama is not. Obama has NEVER done anything like that. I am afraid that was indefensible. Hillary and Hillary supporters, I am sure that even you know how wrong that was.

When we don't like something that our candidate says or does, we tell him so. That's the beauty of our campaign. We told him we did not like the Walmart/ Rezko debate. We felt it hurt the party and was beneath him. We told him so and he took heed. That is the beauty of bottom-up politics.

The fact that Obama's supporters are so willing, even eager, to purge the progressive movement of alternative voices speaks volumes of the so-called message of unity he purports to embody. His most recent call to unity was actually a back-handed swipe at those who don't support his campaign. By pretending to stay above the fray while his surrogates engage in all levels of character assassination and promoting divisiveness within the party, Obama has chosen his own political ambitions and delusions of grandeur above the good of the nation. In recent years, I've not seen a candidate who represents the "L'etat, c'est moi" mentality more than Obama.

Long-time yellow-dog Democrats aren't leaving the debate because we are losing the battle of ideas, we're leaving because Obama's rabid supporters in both the MSM and blogosphere have abandoned all calls to reason. So fervent are these people that they hold no qualms at throwing under the bus anyone who dares to even attempt to elevate the conversation to a discussion of platform and achievement. Instead of building a debate on genuine disagreements, Obama's minions have debased and slimed every person, no matter what their contributions to the party or the good works they have done over the years, who dare question his platform. In this regard, the Obama campaign exactly mirrors that of Bush and Rove.

The greater risk is to the party. I, as one of tens of millions, am proud to be inspired by Hillary. I believe she will make the best president we've had since FDR. Yet, day after day, I'm told by a cadre of uninformed, inflexible, unreasonable jackasses that my support falls on the opposite side of hope, as if Obama had exclusive rights on the concept. Obama's supporters mistake arrogance for persuasion. I've made every attempt to be an honest broker on HuffPo, but it doesn't matter - the deck has been stacked and this forum is no longer a place where a genuine conversation can take place. The entire editorial board is in the tank for Obama, there is no equivalent to an ombudsman to fact check and ensure principles of fairness are upheld, there is no accountability for the bloggers, and, frankly, most of the posters are either too dunder-headed or doctrinaire to tolerate opposing points of view.

Anyone still supporting Clinton has NOT done enough reading. Her record is abominable. She does not have the strength of character to be president. She has maligned other women who spoke up about their abuse at the hands of her husband. She and Bill have put themselves in debt to lobbyists and special interest groups and wealthy patrons.

Get yer heads outta yer butts, people, and do the work. Don't ASSUME she's OK just because she's a woman. That's dumb.

First, Sen. Clinton donors threatened to suspend donations to the DNC (some even requested their donation be returned).

Now, sensitive blogger refuses to blog at the DailyKos because other people dare to practice their free speech rights.

Did the red phone ring at 3am and someone forgot to tell me?

Perhaps she should blog where there are McCain supporters since Sen. Clinton identifies more closely with him than her fellow democratic presidential candidate.

Stop the cycle . . . no more Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton

I'm not going to miss them. Stay out for as long as you like.

Incredible! In the frontline of democracy and a free press, a blogger actually plays the victim card and people join her. Amazing. She claims she's being picked on and other bloggers flock to her cause. I'm sure those steeped in the cult of personality can't see it now, but the absolute absurdity of this argument is both amusing and sad. The readers are being mean to me and the web site has to make them stop. WAHHHHH!

Grow up. Or quit blogging. This is the free market of ideas and you can't complete. And your mommy can't save you here. The only action DailyKos should take is to cancel your account and let you go blog for Fox News, where one sided ideas and no debate is the norm.

No wonder you like Hillary - she's acting like the republicans with her illogical attacks. Of course she also trying to play the victim. One more reason I won't vote for her: leadership isn't about tearing people down and then whining that you are treated unfairly. Because when you do, so do your followers. And this moronic "strike" is the result.

Can you imagine America run like this?

Oh BooHoo.
Good Riddance. I for one will enjoy the break from people completely detached from reality who have no regard for democracy or the will of voters, determined to push a candidate who -if she had any other last name- would have been dismissed by the media weeks ago.

Obama is not getting my support because of where he stands on two top issues. Ending The Iraq War and Universal Healthcare.

Obama's top foreign affairs advisor, Samantha Power said that his 16 month withdrawl plan was just a "best case scenario" and that it's just something he's saying as candidate for president. What? That sounds more like McCain's plan. We could still be in Iraq for years if Obama gets in office. I think she was fired for telling us what they discuss in private about Iraq and not the "monster" comment. Listen for yourself what they are planning.

In regards to Heathcare, Obama has plenty of negatives to tell you about Clinton's plan to distract you from the fact that there is "No Chance" we will see Universal Heathcare under his plan.

Obama is not the agent of change for the Democratic Party. He never was. Hating on Hillary doesn't change that fact one bit.

Good

Hillary Clinton and her campaign people have done this to themselves. I am sick of all of them.
They go negative and then still are getting beaten, and just cannot stand it. I am a white woman who voted for Hillary in the CA primary and regretted my vote by the time they got to South Carolina. The final straw was Wolfson with the Ken Starr tactics remarks aimed at Obama. I quit. I hope a lot of other women who have been sticking to all of this garbage like glue realize that it is not worth doing or saying anything to win. It is ugly and it is a mess. There are too many lies about experience, and garbage about thresholds, and McCain and Hillary and then there is Obama. Enough!! Obama has my vote and I no longer care about the Clintons or their minions. They blew it. That is all. Who cares about the whining Kos posters?
Your candidate brought it onto herself.
