Clinton Supporters Plan To 'Swarm' DNC Meeting
Jason Linkins


So, if I have this right, here are the potential remaining battles in the 2008 Democratic Primary process: Primaries in South Dakota, Montana, and Puerto Rico. A meeting of the DNC Rules and By-Laws Committee to determine how the Democrats will continue to pretend to "punish" Florida and Michigan for moving their primary without actually enforcing any rules or handing down any penalties. Then, possibly, a superdelegate convention where uncommitted superdelegates will be forced at gunpoint to make a decision they could have plausibly made months ago. And finally, a full tilt bloodbath at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, which will prepare America for when John McCain is named King of America and Her United Anbar Provinces, propels us via time machine to the year 2013, and then explains how our Chinese overlords have forced us into a largely "Thunderdome-based" economy.

Speaking to the voters of the Sunshine State yesterday, Senator Hillary Clinton invoked the 2000 Recount Fiasco and spoke of the lessons learned. Now, for me, the lessons mainly are: "Do not allow the fate of our democracy to rest on David Boies' shoulders," but for Clinton, it's different:

"We believe the popular vote is the truest expression of your will...We believe it today just as we believed it back in 2000 when right here in Florida, you learned the hard way what happens when your votes aren't counted, and the candidate with fewer votes is declared the winner. The lesson of 2000 here in Florida is crystal clear. If any votes aren't counted, the will of the people isn't realized and our democracy is diminished. That's what I've always believed."

But that's not the only lesson she's learned from Florida:

The next Democratic donnybrook will be in a Washington ballroom.


Busloads of Hillary Clinton supporters will swarm a meeting next week at a D.C. Marriott, where Democratic Party elders hope to forge a compromise over Florida and Michigan's now-voided convention delegates.

"We really don't know what to expect, but we do know that the Clinton people are very organized," said a senior Democratic National Committee source.

Tactically, this takes a page right from the Karl Rove Recount 2000 playbook: send a mob of angry villagers to turn a relatively genteel process into a shrill folderol. Nevertheless, while the stage is set for roving gangs of superfluous supporters to disrupt the DNC proceedings, this will still be a model of decorum and tranquility compared to Clinton's other bizarre voter-rights reference, Zimbabwe. Though it should be noted that Zimbabwe's electoral strife would have been magnified one hundred-fold if it had featured Howard Wolfson conference calls.

And the Clinton people accuse Obama supporters of being cult-like maniacs.

She sure is behaving like a rat. Does she expect McCain will behave the same? I don't see how the DNC could justify her actions otherwise.

HarperLee

Her femi-martyr supporters remind me of the members of the Ellen James Society in World According to Garp. If only they would cut their tongues out.

I agree the feminism card is a load of crap.
she is where she is because her campaign sucked, I think she finally started to loosen up, and just be herself in the last 2 months.

Penn should get zip for his "advice"

Rabid mobs of disgruntled Hillarycrats. I love it and hate it at the same time. I love it because it shows that theyre DONE, and this is a last desperate attempt to be significant.

I hate it because the right wing will use video and pictures of this mob of Hillarycrats to their advantage in the future. Though I could be wrong. They are all Obama haters and Obama is going to be our nominee. Maybe we can lump them in with the right!

She was herself. Outrageous lies, pandering, phoney accents, outrageous statements like nuking Iran. What more could a Hillary fan want from her? Just Hillary as usual, only more apparent being in the spotlight.

Thank you Cosmic, I agree with 2 out of 3 of your points and that aint bad. The problem I have with Hillary is when she is herself. She has proven time and again that she has the capability to perform moral and ethical gymnastics that even the Russian judge would give a 10.0. We are closing in on the end of an administration that was able to justify torture, hold people indeffinately without counsel and systematically dismantle the Bill of Rights. I want someone in office who is going to take the oath of office seriously, you know, the part about protecting and defending the Constitution.

The_Heretic

I keep hearing how Hillary is somehow better than her campaign.

In fact, as badly mishandled as her campaign went, she is far worse.

She's trying to outright steal the nomination by any means necessary, including the same sort of fake outrage Jr.'s goons used in the recount.
