Reply #8: McGovern was not McGovern until CREEP and the press made him that way [View All]

and the alienated portion of the Democratic Party---which was just about one half of it (Humphrey's voting base was similar to Clinton's except that Humphrey had the African-American voting block in 1972) refused to rally behind McGovern. Keep up the divisive politics that KO typifies so well, and you will see some Dems hold their nose and vote for Obama and you will see some of them nod their heads in agreement when the RNC attacks him on character issues this fall, just like Humphrey's Dem supporters nodded their heads when Nixon's guys attacked McGovern on character issues in 1972. And these are the ones who will stay home---or, in a few cases, like for veterans, cross party lines to vote for the war hero. And there are a lot of Democrats who served in the military or who come from military families.

MSNBC's so called pundits attempt to alienate the Clinton base every single say with more splitter bs. It comes from Matthews, Russert, Fineman..the whole bunch. They never build up Obama. They just malign and tear down Clinton and her supporters. And in doing so they give the impression that they are doing it at the request of Barack Obama.

It is the crappiest show on earth, and I can not for the life of me figure out why the Obama camp has not cried bullshit on it long ago.
