When you approvingly link to Bill Kristol you just may be a Republican…

From Robert Shrum:

Obama’s not running for Sociologist-in-Chief. But there is a powerful element of truth in his comments. The political question here, of course, is whether the Clinton and McCain campaigns can exploit Obama’s remarks to tag him as an “elitist” — a label, their focus groups probably tell them, that can really hurt. Ironically, Obama’s the one raised by a single mother. He’s the one who only recently finished paying off his student loans. He doesn’t know what it’s like to have $100 million. The opponents who are attacking him are the ones who inhabit that financial neighborhood.

Yeah, I went “What the hell?!” last week when I read a Clinton-supporting blog commenter allude to San Francisco Democrats. I should have been even more surprosed to see Hillary herelf do it, but I wasn’t. Here’s what I wonder- if by some chance Hillary wins the nomination, how can the Larry Johnsons, Taylor Marshes, and even Clinton credibly shift to campaigning against McCain as Democrats after having campaigned against Obama as Republicans?

Over at Balloon Juice, they had a contest going to see who would guess correctly about which Clinton blog would be the first to approvingly link to Bill Kristol’s smearing of Obama as a Marxist. The person who guessed Larry Johnson’s blog won.

Because what he used to describe a group of people was “Behind closed doors,” as in behind their backs and was a cheapshot at describing their lifestyle to a bunch of rich people. But hey, to each to their own, if you like people using words that demean you behind your back be my guest.

Does everyone forget Bill and Hillary’s history? They are both members of the DLC(which is basically an avenue to try and destroy the Democratic party. Hillary was once a Goldwater Girl, and I believe, the head of the young Republicans at Wellesley College. Since the DLC hates the DFH’s with a passion, does this surprise you?

Yes, Ms. Inevitable. That $109 million undoubtedly makes you qualified to “understand” the trials and tribulations the working class have to go through on a daily basis.

In spite of the fact that Bay Area residents pour $1.87 in tax dollars for every $1.00 we get back in Federal services, we still get cast by a leading Democratic candidate as unpatriotic and elitist.

I can tell you that this does not play well at all. In fact, I submit that it plays worse with Democratic voters here than anything Obama may have said about Pennsylvanians.
