This is an open letter to the progressive blogosphere...

I've been posting at DailyKos for nearly 4 years now and started writing diaries in support of Hillary Clinton back in June of last year. Over the past few months I've noticed that things have become progressively more abusive toward my candidate and her supporters.

I've put up with the abuse and anger because I've always believed in what our on-line community has tried to accomplish in this world. No more. DailyKos is not the site it once was thanks to the abusive nature of certain members of our community.

I've decided to go on "strike" and will refrain from posting here as long as the administrators allow the more disruptive members of our community to trash Hillary Clinton and distort her record without any fear of consequence or retribution. I will not be posting at DailyKos effective immediately. I will not help drive up traffic or page-hits as long as my candidate - a good and fine DEMOCRAT - is attacked in such a horrid and sexist manner not only by other diarists, but by several of those posting to the front page.

Keep reading.

The people who say they plan on voting for McCain (at least the 5 or so names I recognized).

Here is the Kos response to the strike.

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.

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.
