Yes, we've lost perhaps 20% of our readership because we have been highly critical of the Clinton campaign strategy and statements. Many of the readers who left us were there at the beginning in 2000 and were part of an online community forged out of the theft of the election from Al Gore.

Here is the abhorrent "joke" Mike Huckabee made at this weekend's annual NRA convention (in Kentucky) about assassinating Barack Obama after hearing a loud noise: "That was Barack Obama, he just tripped off a chair, he's getting ready to speak...Somebody aimed a gun at him and he dove for the floor."

Senator Hillary Clinton deserves her due for her tenacity in winning West Virginia by a blowout. But short of some act of God, Barack Obama is the presumptive Democratic nominee. The superdelegates are going to continue breaking for him, and an Oregon victory should put him within a hand's reach of the nomination.

As we take a reprieve from the 2008 elections for a day, we wanted to take note of a Chicago Tribune editorial that repeats the story of how Dick Cheney approved the shooting down of United Flight 93 on 9/11:

Maybe we are naive, but we have always thought of progressivism -- in its ideal form -- as gender neutral. Men and women, people of all faiths and colors join together to promote the common good, peace and justice.

John McCain and Hillary Clinton are spouting a "summer gas tax relief" in the same way that Marie Antoinette cried out, "Let them eat cake."

Nothing more profoundly and disturbingly symbolizes America's subtle racist double standard than George Stephanopoulos's question during the Philadelphia debate to Barack Obama: "Do you think Reverend Wright loves America as much as you do?"

Dangerous or Laughable?
It was no surprise that Limbaugh would call for riots at the Democratic National Convention in Denver to embarrass the Democrats. Limbaugh -- and his fellow purveyors of hate on the airwaves -- are dangerous demagogues whom pro-democracy Americans too easily dismiss as poltroonish shills for the entrenched powers.

U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Patrick Fitzgerald
The notion that Hillary Clinton has been fully vetted is about as credible as the notion that she can be fully trusted. As P.M. Carpenter points out in his commentary today, Clinton has reached unprecedented polling numbers in the number of Americans who don't trust her: nearly six out of ten, according to a recent Washington Post poll. Furthermore, her negative attacks on Obama have resulted in her negatives, which were already sky high, soaring far faster than his.
