Elizabeth Warren

Some of the most profound vitriol is sotto voce. Particularly when accompanied by character assassination.

And you've doubled down again, I see--again accusing me of nefariousness. And disingenuousness. You keep responding (because you didn't like the point I made) by impugning my character, calling me names, in essence. It's not a good look.

The substance of the OP is self-evident--it doesn't take a rocket scientist to gauge the trajectory of the Executive Director's comments. What is there to say? It's an endorsement, and a rather cheerily generic one, at that. Fill in potential candidate's strong points, say that they are the man/woman for the time, something-something-time is now, bold and different, etc. etc. What is news, though, is who is making the comments. If this were John McCain's essay, or John Kerry's, for that matter, this would be a surprising endorsement. Coming from an organization that has long supported her candidacy, though, this is less surprising.

And I am not --deliberately, or otherwise--"atttempt(ing) to discredit a posting.." What I am doing is adding CONTEXT to the post. Full flavor--complete information. Not sure why anyone would find it fear-inducing, negative, or what-have-you for readers to know who wrote the doggone article--because context does matter.

Why do you see the information I provided--that the writer is in a leadership role at MOVEON--as threatening, or (scary word, this) DISCREDITING? There's something "discrediting" about letting people know who wrote the supportive article? REALLY? That's probably the most troubling comment in the thread--and YOU made it.

I don't think I'm the one with the issue, here, if that is the kind of thing that scares you.

I'm a Democrat, and knowing who wrote an article isn't a fear-inducing exercise to me, and I shouldn't think it is for anyone. That said, it is salient. As I said, an endorsement of Clinton by Carville is no surprise, but an endorsement by Bernie Sanders would be newsworthy. The "who" is as important as the "what." And that's true even if you don't care for it.
