Not Only

is Obama the Democrats' version of George W. Bush, but the behavior of the nutroots as I have called these people before Marshall Wittman did has been beyond despicable.

It is impolitic to defend Joe Lieberman, but I did throughout the time he was persecuted by people like Jane Hamsher and Kos simply because he made the dumb decision to support the Iraq War in the wrongheaded belief it benefited Israel. Well, fine good it did to basically railroad him out of the Democratic Party by continually trashing him as a Republican. He's not the only one these morons have trashed. They've gone after former senator Daschle, Senator Reid, Senator Feinstein, and Senator Clinton, to name but a few of their targets. Never mind the fact the resolution didn't actually authorize the United States go to war in Iraq. Let's not talk facts. These rebels without a cause were and are hellbent on being the second coming of the McGovernites and want to purge the party of those who don't adhere to their twisted ideas of what the party should be, and like those warriors of yore, they are being uesd by the GOP to split the party.

Never mind the irony Obama is to the right of Lieberman on some issues, or at least he is willing to pander to the GOP in ways Lieberman was not. Of course Obama's supporters have no clue what the guy even stands for. They follow him because it is the fashionable thing to do.

If Obama somehow becomes the nominee and sends us to almost certain 50-state defeat in November, it'll be good riddance to the nutroots. They will be permanently marginalized to the political fringe.
