Here is the difference - I don't recall Hillary supporters being called delusional and worse for holding their views about Obama. I don't care if people bash Obama day and night. That is politics. Our criticisms have been leveled at Hillary and Bill and what we think about their conduct, and at the campaign climate that turned 2008 into another Rovian wet dream of bashing and smearing.

Let's stick to the pols themselves and leave the "They must be nuts to support Obama, don't they know anything? God, they are so naive and mean," nonsense aside.
