As she erroneously accuses Barack Obama of whining about the ABC sponsored Character Assassination, otherwise known as a debate, Hillary Clinton -- the Shot-Swigging-Gun-Toting- Blue-Collar-Tear-Jerking-Queen-of-Whine -- is at it again. But this time, she's complaining about Democratic activists who have been a driving force in the party. Poor Hillary. Talk about "out of touch." Chill, Hill -- before your head explodes.
Celeste Fremon: Clinton Slams Democratic Activists At Private Fundraiser
"At a small closed-door fundraiser after Super Tuesday, Sen. Hillary Clinton blamed what she called the "activist base" of the Democratic Party -- and MoveOn.org in particular -- for many of her electoral defeats, saying activists had "flooded" state caucuses and "intimidated" her supporters, according to an audio recording of the event obtained by The Huffington Post....

Clinton's remarks depart radically from the traditional position of presidential candidates, who in the past have celebrated high levels of turnout by party activists and partisans as a harbinger for their own party's success -- regardless of who is the eventual nominee -- in the general election showdown.
The comments also contradict Clinton's previous statements praising this year's elevated Democratic turnout in primaries and caucuses, and appear to blame her caucus defeats on newly energized grassroots voter groups that she has lauded in the past as "lively participants" in American democracy.

In a statement to The Huffington Post, MoveOn's Executive Director Eli Pariser reacted strongly to Clinton's remarks: "Senator Clinton has her facts wrong again. MoveOn never opposed the war in Afghanistan, and we set the record straight years ago when Karl Rove made the same claim. Senator Clinton's attack on our members is divisive at a time when Democrats will soon need to unify to beat Senator McCain. MoveOn is 3.2 million reliable voters and volunteers who are an important part of any winning Democratic coalition in November. They deserve better than to be dismissed using Republican talking points.""

Dear Democratic Base:
You suck. Eat sh*t and die.
Hugs and Kisses,
Hillary Rodham Clinton
P.S. You are all elitists.
P.S.S. If you come to my home I will shoot you with my many powerful pistols and shotguns (I am a crack shot), but after you are dead I will pray to the good Lord and sunny Jesus to have mercy on your worthless souls.
