Fellow Obama supporters: can we PLEASE refrain from gender-based insults when referring to Clinton?
Advertisements [?]
It does NOT make us look good.
There are PLENTY of reasons to criticize the way that Clitnon has run her campaign lately, but we do NOT need to stoop to that level. I am sick of the patronizing and dismissive posts of some of the Hillary supporters on this forum, but there is NO reason us to dirty ourselves by behaving in a similar manner.
In the end, our goal will be to mend fences once it's all said and done, and I know I've had my face spit in more than a few times by some of the more aggressive Clinton supporters, but I'm still willing to look beyond that once the nomination process is settled.
If we expect the more reasonable supporters of Clinton to do the same, we need to be able to show that we actually want them on our side.
NASTY GENDER-BASED REMARKS ABOUT CLINTON, AS WELL AS PERSONAL ATTACKS, DO NOT SHOW THAT WE WANT THE FELLOWSHIP OF CLINTON SUPPORTERS.
This is NOT the kind of behavior Senator Obama would want to see from us.
Just a suggestion, if you REALLY feel the need to be that nasty and immature, go ahead. I, for one, think most of us are capable of better.
Just another plea for sanity that will doubtless go unheard by most...but hey, thought I'd try.
