Remember Hillaryis44.org and PUMA?

[WestCoastLib]

I remember the 08 election around nere like it was yesterday. When PUMA supposedly broke away from being Democratic Party, since Obama was so awful and Hillary was the bees knees.

In not my finest moments, I even trolled their site a time or too, to let them know they weren't fooling anybody that they were actually liberals, democrats, or even actual Hillary supporters.

Well...hillaryis44.org is still alive and kicking...for the past 8 years they've been bashing Obama in prep for Hillary in 16...only now that she's defeated Bernie, the entire site has "shockingly" become a Hillary bashing site. She's now "just as bad as Obama" and Hillaryis44.org is pulling for Trump.

1. LOL ... Kind of telling, huh?

2. And old Harriet Christian is dead

6. I totally forgot about her!

Disgusting. I don't know if she was a Republican plant or not, but she sure didn't do Hillary any favors.

[Hortensis]

20. Some people get so emotionally involved

involved that intellect, and honesty, are smothered. I don't find her disgusting, though. As ranting, irrational, extremist partisans go, she seemed pretty decent.

She wasn't totally untethered from reality, either. Obama was young, a one-termer in Congress, and black, and it is very likely that he would not have run if his opponent was a prominent white male politician. Being the first woman to make a strong run for president did not just present a tremendous mountain to scale for Hillary, but a great opportunity for the first black male candidate to run against seriously handicapped opponent.

23. I strongly disagree with you about a lot of that

I think Harriet Christian's comments were racist, plain and simple. But we are just starting to come together after the 2016 primaries - the last thing we need to do is refight the 2008 primaries!

7. I remember her

and racism towards Obama

http://wonkette.com/400582/john-mccain-and-harriet-christian-fall-in-love

"that’s Harriet Christian, the famous Hillary Clinton diehard who threw a fit at the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee over its perceived bias towards the Democrats’ “inadequate black male” of a nominee, which landed her a Fox News appearance during which she said black people don’t even know why they voted for Obama."

3. No

Why would we remember puma sites? Is it like Jackpine Ridiculous? I bet we will forget them all in due time. Sad to see these fake democratic sites pop up and troll us by supporting Trump. They really hate dems. Vile.

[ashtonelijah]

4. They've been fooling themselves for 8 years, thinking Hillary thought like them.

I've occasionally run by that site and read it over the past 8 years. Until about 8 months ago, they spent every day explaining how Hillary was secretly working to undermine Obama, how every move was a calculated part of her master plan to destroy him and win in 2016. They believed her friendship with and admiration for him was a ruse. They believed she was seeking to sabotage his administration by joining it. They thought she was obsessed with payback like them.

And then when they saw her run in 2016, they finally realized that Hillay actually genuinely admires Obama and believes he has done the right things. And they hate her for it.

11. So that's why they turned on Hillary. Thanks for the info.

While I still think that Bill can't stand Obama. I've come around somewhat and do think that there is a bond between Hillary and Barack.

[Hortensis]

14. "secretly working to undermine Obama"? You're kidding.

No matter how much product of minds long lost down the rabbit hole I run into, I'm constantly being amazed by the delusions.

As far as Hillary goes, you know people by their enemies too, not just by those they acknowledge as friends. If hate can honor, this does.

[democrattotheend]

5. I always thought that site was being fueled by Republican aggitators

Not real Hillary supporters. I guess this proves I was right.

[Hortensis]

17. "Hillary has my vote," Dem?

To me the rest has the same sentiment as crowds chanting "four more years" at Obama as his presidency nears its end--a statement of affection and support, and regret that he will be leaving.

It'd almost be surprising if Republican agitators weren't there anyway, of course.

[democrattotheend]

24. Those are two separate bumper stickers I made

I have both for sale in my store. I checked the rules here and it seems that is ok.

The first sticker is for non-Bernie-or-Bust Bernie supporters like myself, who wanted Bernie but are prepared to vote for Hillary in November.

The second bumper sticker is, as you say, a statement of affection, and sadness that Obama's presidency is almost over.

[Hortensis]

25. Oh, how clueless of me. Of course. Like them both!

[democrattotheend]

27. Thanks!

I tweaked my signature a bit to separate them, because I could see it being confusing.

[seabeyond]

8. Why would anyone care?

[Barack_America]

9. Sure do. Those people actually followed through and voted for McCain.

And, oh, did they love themselves some Sarah Palin.

[Demsrule86]

19. If they love Sarah

then they are Republicans...I have often suspected that many who refuse to support the nominee are Republicans. You can say what you want but Trump is a horror ...if you can fathom a Trump presidency and think it would be 'better' than a Clinton Presidency than you are a Republican. If you can vote for a third party or not vote ...all of which is a vote for Trump then you are not a Democrat...perhaps you idolize Bernie...who is but one man, but you are not a Democrat or progressive in my opinion. I checked out the Pines...what a nasty place too...I would be hard pressed to label any of them as progressive or Democratic...I expect a fair number of them are Republican agitators and the rest could be considered Bernie loyalists. I saw more than a few using their DU names on the site.

10. That's funny you'd bring that up as I just got done reading this

Why did they turn on Hillary?

[brooklynite]

12. Personally, I always found "HILLBUZZ" more entertaining...

Both started out as PUMA sites, but they both became RW oriented by the 2012 election.

[baldguy]

13. And will the BoBs take the same path?

[ehrnst]

26. Looking at the Dank Meme subgroup

I'd say that there are plenty who are.

[DCBob]

15. Those people are racist goons.. nothing to do with actual Hillary supporters.

That site should be shut down.

[stevenleser]

16. Yep, exactly why these folks don't concern me regarding the General Election

The PUMA and Bernie or Bust types amount to a few cranks plus Repuglicans (doing a bad job of) pretending to be disaffected democrats in order to try to drive a wedge in the party.

None of whom will have an effect on the outcome.

The best part of the PUMA nonsense was watching the Freepers pin their hopes on PUMAs giving the election to McCain.

[Hortensis]

18. +1.

Sadly, though, I didn't witness their glory days of influence on some delusional fools at FR.

[NCTraveler]

21. It really does show that what we are currently watching is psychologically based, not politically.

It is very individual and has very manic aspects. Sometimes simply being against things becomes an individuals true state of being.

[Orsino]

22. Neither do I

Movements grow and last because they have numbers and comm9n interests worth fighting for.
