That column you linked is, in MHO, bullshit handwringing. That ad about Hillary wasn't saying something that hasn't already been said a zillion times by numerous, probably mostly liberal writers and repeated by many right here on this thread. The genius of the ad is that it was a new way of getting the message across graphically and viscerally that communicates so directly and appeals to a much wider audience. And if Hillary could do something about it, she would. So suddenly it's not OK for Democrats to call other Democrats on their shit? We sit here all day long and call the party spineless, unprincipled, weak-kneed and worse. Are democrats now supposed to ignore political blather when it comes from our own candidates? Or are we just not supposed to make videos about it? And whose idea about what the party is or what it stands for am I supposed to listen to? I mean, that's one of the things about the Dem party that's sorta inconvenient. It's, like, democratic. Hillary herself couldn't even muster a clear position about the ad--which just ocnfirms how right on target it was. She said it was "for others to decide what to do about it."
