it was said by a supporter of a democratic candidate.

"Hillary couldn't even beat the black guy".

Now I'm an Obama supporter, not ashamed to admit it. What I am ashamed of is a Democrat calling President Obama 'the black guy'. I know he's not lived up to everyone's expectations, but he deserves better than 'the black guy' He's done good things. He's the 'leader' of our party. To see someone that's a Democrat, or at the very least supporting someone running for the Democratic nomination refer to him as 'the black guy' is wrong among other things....


edited to clarify: It was not a Hillary supporter that said this. This was said ABOUT Hillary by a supporter of one of the other DEMOCRATIC candidates.

1. He deserves a lot better than he got from some folks on both sides.

[Agschmid]

3. Yup.

[one_voice]

4. It wasn't a Hillary supporter that said it...

you might wanna read the OP again. It was said about Hillary.

"Hillary couldn't even beat the black guy" that's what the other supporter said.

[JRLeft]

7. You're right. It doesn't surprise me that a racist would support Bernie

maybe the racist doesn't know Bernie is Jewish?

[John Poet]

16. MAYBE it was actually posted by a GOP TROLL

which you people keep claiming exist and are trying to burn Hillary by boosting Bernie.

I know there are a few. This quote is probably proof of one. Another giveaway is when they refer to "the Democrat party", as RW talk radio always refers to us...

[still_one]

18. It wasn't a GOP troll, it was right in our neighborhood where Hillary supporters

are not allowed to post

and it has been there all day

[Autumn]

36. The poster was blocked. Hosts in groups can not remove posts as I'm sure you know. nt

[still_one]

39. Don't assume that. I have never been a host. That post was up there all day, and

only one person was disturbed by it enough to call attention to it. In fact, it even went before a jury which voted 1-6 to leave it. It wasn't even close.

Now it seems today, at least a host of that group has actually done as you mentioned, and blocked that person. A few have joined in to register disgust, which is right the right thing to do, so all that is good stuff.

To be honest though, a lot of folks were using that thread to tell other DUers who were not supporting their candidate what they could do. It was an extremely negative thread to say the least, and it sure didn't reflect well on Bernie.

I am at least glad to see the disruptive post was taken care of. Kind of sad that a jury didn't recognize it though

[Autumn]

40. I am the lead host of the Bernie Sanders group. I'm not assuming anything, I know for a fact

how it works. A jury let it stand. Hosts cannot remove posts.

[still_one]

42. i wasn't questioning your knowledge, it was my lack of knowledge what a host can or cannot do

[JI7]

5. the "even" part is more offensive

[sadoldgirl]

6. Whoever wrote this, is/was not really a Dem.jmo

[treestar]

8. and it was not hidden

[NurseJackie]

9. Unsurprising.

[still_one]

15. and that speaks volumes

[Ino]

10. Link to this comment?

[still_one]

17. It is in a place where Hillary supporters are not welcomed.

[Jamaal510]

12. The DUer who

posted that was acting like that was the first and only election that HC ran in. What a joke. She has a much larger resume besides just being a former FLOTUS.

[Bobbie Jo]

13. Are you kidding me?

"couldn't even beat the black guy" ???

It's just below the surface, isn't it...?

[artislife]

14. On the internet.

On the internet.

I weep at some of the stuff I read on the internet. I don't read any political article on yahoo news for example. Enough to make me very afraid.

So was this out there somewhere or was it on this site? If it was on this site, please link so we all can give them a good thrashing.

[still_one]

19. It was right in here, where most Hillary supporters can't make comments

[artislife]

27. I just saw the link provided by the poster below.

I didn't read that OP.

Yes, that is disgusting.

Next time, stop being so obtuse and just link, it sounded like somewhere in the vastness of the internet.

I love President Obama, he hasn't been a perfect President by far, but he has been a good President for the times. I love the man, I love his family. I cannot say that about any other president in my lifetime.

It may be because I am Latina and he represents a lot of things, and I know by members of my family who are darker, he has faced a hostile world and still carries this light inside of him. I do not regret voting for him twice.

[one_voice]

30. This was the point...

I love President Obama, he hasn't been a perfect President by far, but he has been a good President for the times. I love the man, I love his family. I cannot say that about any other president in my lifetime.

If anyone actually reads what I wrote that's the point. He doesn't deserve that. ESPECIALLY from a Democrat. I was pretty vague as to who and where this was posted because the point was what was said about President Obama.

I didn't post a link for a reason. The comment stands on it's on.

That's something you'd hear from the Republicans. Not from a Democrat.

I get so tired of hearing shit from the right, to see that from one of 'ours'? No, just no.

[artislife]

31. I just posted a reply to that post.

And maybe did one more action as well....*wink

[Autumn]

37. Here. That poster was blocked from the Sanders group for that post.

Hosts can not remove posts.

20. This is the link, it's in the Bernie Sanders group. I expect people who have access to that

group and object to this will let the poster know.

on edit: Thanks lunatica, Puglover and demmiblue for speaking out

[demmiblue]

21. I googled and saw a few people here using that phrase.

[betsuni]

22. K&R

[beam me up scottie]

23. That's bad, I read this on the internet too:

According to Hillary supporters Bernie is Israel's #1 shill, a pro gunner that thinks women enjoy being raped, that we should abolish pedophilia or rape laws, is a racist, gun nut, draft dodger, scheming little sneak, socialist throwback jackass, drooling sweating old fool, scumbag, pandering phony braggart with some kind of emotional instability, tool for the NRA, Republican man with his head between women's legs, who protects the minutemen militia, pedophiles, racist cops, has rape fantasies, thinks that orgasms prevent cancer, wants guns in the streets, is trying to suppress the black vote and is supported by Stormfront.

No one can pretend their associates are better than the other guys.

[polly7]

25. Hey, I read that too!

Seriously disgusting. Not sure what kind of person comes up with this bile but I'm very glad not to know them personally.

[beam me up scottie]

32. The newest is that Janes Sanders has "offshore" accounts in Israel.

Which probably ties in with the anti-Semitic rumour that Bernie has a "nest egg" waiting for him in Israel.

That also came from a Hillary supporter.

[polly7]

35. Creepy, ugly shit.

Seems like they'll try anything and everything no matter what.

[orpupilofnature57]

26. How Phony of You to pin racism on that " Other ' Democratic candidate, avoid the issues, see ya .

[valerief]

28. Wow, you had to go all the way to May for that one.

[Bobbie Jo]

33. It was yesterday.

Besides, what difference does it make, when?

[valerief]

34. No, it was May. And it makes no difference. Bernie never said it. No one

in his campaign said it. It doesn't matter. BTW, I have the May poster on Forever Ignored.

[Bobbie Jo]

41. What?

No, this was posted yesterday.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1280&pid=104569

What are you talking about?

[valerief]

43. The first one I saw. Are you too lazy to search?

[Bobbie Jo]

45. WTF are you even talking about??

First one, what? This OP refers to the link I posted, where did you come up with "the first one" ??

Lazy, WTF??

If YOU saw it, then YOU post it if you bring it into this discussion.

[valerief]

46. The OP didn't post a link, so I did a search and came up with one posted months ago.

If you care so much, you do your own search. You'll see that my first post was to the OP, not you. You're the one stalking me. What's your problem?

on edit
Don't bother to harass me. I'm putting you on Forever Ignored.

[Bobbie Jo]

47. LOL!

Forevah!! Stalking!!

Perhaps if you would have said so in the first place we could have ended this interaction much sooner.

Look, you were wrong with your snarky comment
and I only corrected you. That you're having a melt down at this point is just bizarre.

Have a nice forever....

[pangaia]

29. The Poster- jomin41- has been blocked from the Bernie group.

[heaven05]

38. I know damn well

It wasn't an HRC supporter. Now let's see...what candidate running as a democrat has the dubious distinction of having many supporters that refer to a huge segment of the democratic party voting block as....not important......hmmmmmm

[99Forever]

44. Is Barack Obama now in the primary?

I would think a Constitutional scholar would know that won't work.

[retrowire]

48. Stupid people say stupid things.

I'm sorry you had to endure it.
