Let me start by saying that I am not a fan of Barack Obama. He want to the bottom of my preferred nominee list in October, so I understand the imperative that some pro-Clinton bloggers feel on this issue.

There has clearly been a lot of misogyny in the campaign, both on the part of the blogosphere and the MSM, and calling both groups out on this is justified.

Furthermore, the sort of Teflon he has experienced with the MSM is something appropriate to discuss.

That being said, there are differences in how this is handled, with folks like BTD and Jerylyn being generally fairly well reasoned and calm, with Taylor Marsh being over the top with alarming regularly, though not universally, and Larry Johnson being completely batsh%$ insane to the degree that he is quoting former Nixon dirty trickster, and wife swapper, Roger Stone.

It’s OK not to like Obama, and to see him as either weak or lacking in candor (or both).

I do, and have ever since he threw gays under the bus in South Carolina.

But this does not mean that you pick up anything scrawled on a bathroom wall, and run with it.
