The Crying Wolf Syndrome

Because the continuing pattern of railing against everything Clinton and defending, excusing and praising everything Obama has been prevalent in the Media and the blogs, I think the point has been reached, as it was during the 90s with rabid Republicans, that most people simply do not pay attention to these shrieks from the usual suspects. Their outrage at everything Clinton and their effusive praise or defense of everything Obama is of course the subject of SNL parody, but consider this wild post by Spencer Ackermann that seems beyond parody:

Samantha Power blurts out something not entirely unreasonable that she meant to be off the record. Now the Clintonites, in yet another cynical burst of manufactured outrage, say Obama has to fire her. How interesting.

It is now considered in some circles "not entirely unreasonable" to call Hillary Clinton "a monster" - words once reserved for the likes of Stalin or Hitler, or at least George W. Bush or Dick Cheney (I kid, never would I condone calling Bush a monster - just an idiot.)

That Ackermann then proceeds to repeat a ridiculous and debunked charge against Clinton tells you all you need. My gawd, some folks have simply gone off the deep end and do not even know it. If they ever have an actual point to make about Clinton, no one will be listening.
