These new concern troll diaries are a lot more fun to read if you imagine Joe Lieberman saying them.
It's legitimate. Are the questions somewhat disingenuous (i.e.: loaded with rhetoric), of course.
The truth is the truth. Hillary and Barack are much more alike than not alike. A lot of rhetoric has been slung back and forth over the past year, with one side trying to paint the other as being substantially different on the issues, when the truth is just the opposites.
Politicians pander--every single one of them--it's what they do!
All of the above notwithstanding, Hillary lost; Barack won. This diary is from a Hillary supporter attempting to make a rather transparent point; and it's what I say in my opening paragraph in this comment. Is the diarist a concern troll? IMHO, no.
This is all part of the healing process; and, when my fellow Obama supporters acknowledge this truth more healing will occur.
In the meantime, I'm over Hillary's loss; others are not. Calling them out as concern trolls accomplishes little. Acknowledging truth will go a long way towards reinforcing party unity come November.
TWO TRUTHS:
1.) Barack and Hillary are much more alike in their positions on the issues than many will acknowledge.
2.) Hillary lost; Barack won, some Hillary supporters have their roundabout way of dealing with it as they come around to reality now...and, what you're reading here is part of that "process."
Is the diarist a concern troll. NO! The diarist is a likely/probable/potential Obama supporter, stating many truths in-between some disingenuous/rhetorical questions. That is truth IMHO!
Don't call the diarist a troll!
Oh, I agree, but this:
During the primary campaign Sen. Obama was solidly opposing NAFTA and was all for renegotiation.
and this:
So who is Sen. Obama? Is he the same person that castigated Sen. Clinton as a corporate Shill?
Are just goofy. The questions are basically "haha - you all thought you were getting Noam Chomsky; well guess what, you're not!" while we're all kind of scratching our heads.
