Both "sides" may be guilty of bad behavior, but the far-right is so much more talented and hard-working and fanatical than their slightly-left-of-center counterparts (there is no real left wing in the US). Moveon and the dailykos may "occasionally cross the line" as you say, but the right is out working 24/7. Obama is proving himself capable of a little lack of dignity as well in the present skirmish. I believe it's Obama more than Clinton who is playing the race-card, though it will probably win him S Carolina. The notion that the 1964 civil rights legislation could not have been passed without LBJ's notorious strong-arming tactics is not a slur on the role Dr. King played in inspiring the civil rights movement. The person who Clinton was criticizing was Obama, not King. Obama compared himself to King, and Clinton pointed out that giving speeches is not the same as getting gassed and clubbed and arrested in the fight for equality. It's Obama who playing the race card here, and it will probably win him S Carolina, but it's not "good behavior".
