Markos "Daily Kos" Has Some Advice for Hillary Clinton: The Left Doesn't Need You
In the 2004 election, the American Left was thoroughly discredited when "their" candidate, Howard Dean, was shown to be a screaming fucking lunatic - and he won no primaries despite the fact that the Left pumped millions of dollars from their welfare checks into his campaign.
Now, what Howard Dean did with those millions, is anyone's guess.
But is our guess is that Ducky Dean went nowhere, and the Left had to "swallow" (bad word for Downies - we know) the leftwing, but not leftwing enough, John Kerry, who flipped and flopped his way to an electoral defeat.
One of the Far Far Left's favorite bloggers is one Markos Moulitsas, better known as "Daily Kos," whose site is a mixture of far Left fantasy, paranoia, and handwringing about the uselessness of the Left's minority status.
Well, The Washington Post felt the need to give this nut some space in their paper - and he paints a bad picture for another Far Leftist whose is not far left enough for the Nutsy Crowd: Hillary Clinton.
Read this...it is too funny for words.
Hillary Clinton: Too Much of a Clinton Democrat?
Understand the logic? As far as the Far, Far Left is concerned, the fact that Howard Dean ran means they won; if Hillary runs and wins, they lose.
Day is night, night is day. Just another moment from the textbooks of Far Left America and their delusions.

Hillary Clinton: Too Much of a Clinton Democrat?
Hillary Clinton has a few problems if she wants to secure the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. She is a leader who fails to lead. She does not appear "electable." But most of all, Hillary has a Bill Clinton problem. (And no, it's not about that.)
[...]
Hillary Clinton leads her Democratic rivals in the polls and in fundraising. Unfortunately, however, the New York senator is part of a failed Democratic Party establishment -- led by her husband -- that enabled the George W. Bush presidency and the Republican majorities, and all the havoc they have wreaked at home and abroad.

Dean lost, but the point was made. No longer would D.C. insiders impose their candidates on us without our input; those of us in the netroots could demand a say in our political fortunes. Today, however, Hillary Clinton seems unable to recognize this new reality. She seems ill-equipped to tap into the Net-energized wing of her party (or perhaps is simply uninterested in doing so) and incapable of appealing to this newly mobilized swath of voters. She may be the establishment's choice, but real power in the party has shifted.
Our crashing of Washington's gates wasn't about ideology, it was about pragmatism. Democrats haven't won more than 50 percent of the vote in a presidential election since 1976. Heck, we haven't won more than 50.1 percent since 1964. And complicit in that failure was the only Democrat to occupy the White House since 1980: Bill Clinton.
