Who Died And Made Him Boss?

David Sirota is getting nasty emails from Clinton supporters who aren't thrilled with Obama:

Movements and activists and voters have to choose the best among this imperfect pool of possibilities. Journalists like me--if we're interested in the truth--will end up being both critical and supportive of candidates because those candidate aren't typically 100% bad or 100% good. That doesn't make the criticism or the praise "hypocritical"--it makes the reporting authentic and real, rather than sycophantic and propagandistic, and it certainly doesn't make it "hypocritical." {Emphasis added}

I get it--David Sirota is in charge of dispensing The Truth. If he said Barack Obama was the best available progressive--well, then--

To Clintonites, just STFU and slither back to your rathole of bitterness. Your candidate lost because she helped create the problems we now have to fix. Deal with that and become a productive member of society, or again, just STFU.

Listen, David. Thanks to you and the rest of the Democratic/Media establishment, we'll never know what kind of president Hillary Clinton would have made. One thing's for sure, though. Pretty much every negative prediction I made about your candidate's weakness is proving true. Shouldn't you be showing a little humility?

I don't feel like shutting the fuck up. As a matter of fact, David--Can I have your job? You seem to suck at it.
