Some of my Democrat/liberal friends on various discussion lists have continually told me that the Clinton/Obama battle for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination is not, and will not be, truly "divisive"--that once a nominee is divided, Democrats will all unify and fall in line and support whomever the nominee is.
Well. You sure can't tell that from this recent event: pro-Clinton bloggers have initiated a boycott of the popular liberal blog DailyKos.
What's up? Well, a pro-Clinton blogger believes Obama supporters are nasty:
"“I’ve put up with the abuse and anger because I’ve always believed in what our online community has tried to accomplish in this world,” Alegre wrote Friday evening. “No more.”
An Obama backer retorted: "The only difference is now we’re attacking a candidate whom YOU feel strongly about. Sorry. It happens. But if you don’t understand why we dislike her, if you don’t understand that she stood opposed to the blogroots for years, that this community grew into what it is today despite her, not because of her, then you’re right, perhaps this isn’t the blog for you."
The battle will go on.
