Friction between Obama and Clinton supporters: not one sided.

I’ve heard a few complaints that some of Obama’s supporters have been rude. I believe that has happened.

But the rudeness and petty barbs have flowed both ways; the difference, as I see it, is that the venom directed at Obama supporters have often come from those higher up in the campaign.

Here, Obama supporters are ridiculed as being naive:

Bill Clinton dismisses caucus goers:

Of his wife’s recent travails, he said, “the caucuses aren’t good for her. They disproportionately favor upper-income voters who, who, don’t really need a president but feel like they need a change.”

And then there is this president of the Machinist Union:

Note: being on the Harvard Law Review is something to be held in contempt?

This is the longer version. Note: Galesburg: Obama brought it up as what is wrong with trade agreements that don’t have adequate protection. Oh yes, Galesburg happened in 2004, and Obama didn’t take the oath until 2005.

Note the venom directed at people like me. But I don’t mind; he isn’t really talking to me; he is rather talking to low information voters who won’t fact check what he says.

But I wonder if this guy gets a heart attack; will he still have the contempt for all of that knowledge that was developed at those college and universities that he has so much contempt for?

But remember this: Obama and his campaign have never ONCE ridiculed Clinton supporters.
