Anyone else ready to vObamat?

[sjdnb]

I'm beginning to feel like I'm stuck in the Obama version of Jonestown.

I never thought I'd see DU come to this.

[Occam Bandage]

1. "I never thought I'd see DU come to this."

Containing supporters of a different candidate than the one you support? Man, it must be brutal. You have my sympathies.

[sjdnb]

6. No, just the unending litany of followers

who dismiss anyone with any questions ... it's like a freakin cult.

God forbid, anyone ask a question ... just read Greatest Threads for all answers. LOL!

[Occam Bandage]

7. And by "dismiss" you mean "answer your questions to the extent that you beg them to stop."

Also, you did not mean to use the word "litany."

[mrreowwr_kittty]

28. No, the OP means "I'll never accept anything but validation of my thesis" nt

[sjdnb]

34. No, it means anyone who isn't with you is full of sh*t

We've gotten your message loud and clear.

[Egnever]

42. Not everyone

only some

[Renew Deal]

47. Last night, someone posted all those Obama threads

Isn't that what you wanted?

[incapsulated]

2. rofl

Ok, that was stupid funny.

It's better, to me, than Edwards Underground.

God, I can't wait for the whole stupid thing to be over so I can worry about the GE.

[Mr_Monday]

3. It should be Obamit, and no.

If DU has fallen so much below your standards, take your toys and leave. Or stay and fight for your candidate. Your decision.

[goldcanyonaz]

4. lol @ vObamat.

[Cha]

5. Yeah, too bad

all you do is blather.

[sjdnb]

9. No, I actually have gone through barackobama.com

looking for answers ... you find some, let me know. I spent 2.5 hours looking and just found what he didn't do, wanted to do, thought should be done ... but, no 'how' it might happen.

[Cha]

10. Like I

said.

[sjdnb]

12. Said what? You are a smart ass?

Like there's none of them around these boards. Take a number and get in line.

[Egnever]

43. what is it exactly you are looking for?

all of them have the same whats your problem exactly.

[BluegrassDem]

8. You should've been on DU in the summer with all the Clintonistas

Tellurian, SaveElmer, durrtylibby, Herman Munster all have been ramming Hillary 24/7. Don't get mad just cause Obama's supporters have something to crow about. Turn about is fair play.

[thoughtcrime1984]

50. Exactly what you said

That was my impetus to do a little pro-Obama posting the last couple of days. Sifting through the crap this summer and fall really strengthened my resolve to help get Sen. Obama into the WH.

[lvx35]

11. Yeah, Its annoying.

Its just that I'm getting seriously little information, aside from the guy posting huge copy-and-paste jobs about Obama's platform...Its an environment where you know we can't have a serious talk about whose got the better plan for such-and-such, because the BS will start flying too fast.

[frazzled]

13. Okay, response from an insomniac who has had it with this kind of sh*t

Jonestown?

Look, your kind of ugliness is what the nation is rejecting--big time.. It's precisely why Obama is taking the country by storm and your candidate, whoever that is, is losing.

The verdict is in: and ugly rhetoric, "kick-in-the-balls" machoism, and hateful rhetoric is dead. You are on the wrong side of history, and you probably don't even deserve to get a response from me.

[sjdnb]

15. Sorry, if you think it's ugly to point out that the candidate

we're about to nominate is all about charisma, hope, change, and not much substance.

But, it is what it is.

Not one person/Obama supporter has been able to respond to one question with a substinative answer about how Obama plans to implement his dreams/hopes for the country.

They are simple questions, for goodness sakes -- about what he really believes and how he will accomplish it.

Forgive me for giving a sh*t.

[Occam Bandage]

16. We did. You chose to ignore the substantive responses. And whenever

we tried to pin you down, you just moved the goalposts. You don't want answers, you want the illusion of unanswered questions.

And that is the type of ugliness that turns people off. It's the public dissatisfaction with pettiness such as your own that has led to Obama's stunning rise.

[sjdnb]

19. OK, so share with me what I've missed

I've read all the "Obama believes ..." posts;
and the BarackObama.com/issues site - and, without blind faith, I don't see any answers.

Pray tell me what I'm missing.

[Occam Bandage]

21. Heh, no point with you. You don't want answers, you want to preserve the illusion

of unanswered questions. You've shifted the goalposts before, and you'll do it again. Your most recent attempt is "But HOW will Barack Obama implement the specific policy proposals he has suggested?" The answer, of course, is "the same way any President does." If you need help with that, man...

[sjdnb]

22. Don't accuse me of something without proof

unless you want to use Rovian tactics. Which you might - I am grassroots vs political machine - so, I'm not sure.

But, reading my posts, they've all asked for honest answers to simple questions.

[Occam Bandage]

24. Says the guy who's spent all night posting baseless accusations against Obama.

Rrrrright.

You've asked for honest answers to simple questions. You got them. Then you demanded honest answers to other simple questions and claimed that we had failed to help you. You got more answers. We went along like this. Again, you obviously don't want answers, because every time you got them you changed your question. You want to preserve the illusion of unanswered questions.

[sjdnb]

25. No, I don't ... really, no one has

sent me any links or answers to the questions I've posed.

While you might like to look upon me as a 'rabble rouser', I really was trying to get some answers. Sorry, if that bothered you, Caesar.

[Occam Bandage]

26. "Rabble rouser?" You flatter yourself.

[sjdnb]

35. Thank you for once again proving

your passive aggressive nature. It's so helpful in answering real questions.

[Egnever]

46. you don't have any real questions

the poster above is absolutely correct the only thing you are interested in is repeating some meme that there is no substance. theres as much or more substance on obamas issues page as there is on any other candidates. None of them can tell you exactly how their ideas will be implemented and you know that damn well you are here only to disrupt and to try to push your meme.

Talk about passive agressive bullshit.

:eyes:

[Occam Bandage]

48. You don't have real questions.

[alcibiades_mystery]

52. "You don't want answers, you want the illusion of unanswered questions."

Perfect.

:thumbsup:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

29. Obama was compared with Bush, and Hitler on an earlier thread today. For real.

The poster said that Obama's supporters reminded him of "fawning crouwds, feisty rhetoric and unsubstantive love of "the leader" And, "looks awfully familiar to a scholar of 20th centry history. Particularly when the sight was refreshed so recently with Bush's campaing 2000, and appears to again be gelling right before our eyes in campaign 2008".

Seriously. :puke:

[davidinalameda]

14. you're obviously a new poster

or else you'd remember this place back on 2004

it was brutal!

this campaign is a tiptoe through the tulips compared to then

[incapsulated]

18. I have to disagree

I was in the trenches and supporting a candidate in 04. I still have PTSD from it but this is worse.

At least we argued actual issues once and a while.

This is mostly petty, media and blog generated BULLSHIT.

I don't read most of it.

[davidinalameda]

37. you think?

maybe it was because I was a moderator at the time

I just saw more of it

[killbotfactory]

17. I'm thinking of two words

They rhyme with buck and cough.

[ButterflyBlood]

20. No. I'm just seeing tons of support for THE RIGHT DEMOCRAT!

THE RIGHT CANDIDATE, THE RIGHT PERSON!

[Drunken Irishman]

23. I like how all of this falls on Obama, even though I've seen just as many anti-Obama posts here.

[TreasonousBastard]

27. Oh, poor baby. Where were you on...

Hillary Day, or Dennis Day, or Biden Day. There might have been a Richardson day, but there sure have been a few Edwards days.

(Ya can't help wondering about people who hang out on a political board and then get all bent when politics pops up.)

[Crunchy Frog]

30. Here, have some of these. You'll feel better.

[Crunchy Frog]

31. Not as bad as having to read thread after thread after thread

about how Edwards is the second coming of FDR. :puke:

[sjdnb]

32. Frankly, I'm ready to retire

I'll go grassroots and F the national elections. It's not like my 2 cents is gonna make a difference anyhow.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

33. You'll be missed

not.

[D23MIURG23]

36. I feel like I see more Edwards threads than anything else.

:shrug:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

38. How the fuck does stupid crap like this get 10 rec's?

You don't have to like Obama, but you don't have to kick these kind of posts either. Cmon DU, I expect better from you.

[Skip Intro]

39. Ha! You're one to talk. And make it 11.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

40. Thanks for making my point. And don't take it too hard when your candidate loses today.

Guess you do have to resort to childish things like this in a futile attempt to comfort yourself.

[Skip Intro]

41. Thanks for your concern, tcb. I don't leave the game after two innings, tho.

You're really one to call someone childish, after some of the stuff I've read from you.

Have fun riding the unicorns in that Obamaland bubble...before it bursts.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

44. You haven't read my stuff then.

I don't post hit-and-run insults and I never post an OP slamming another candidate. Never. I will defend mine (and others) and call out stupid shit when I see it. You'll never see me calling Sen. Clinton by some insulting nickname, nor will you see me joining in the childish, sexist taunts so often thrown at her here.

Don't confuse me with other DUers.

[Catherine Vincent]

45. LOL!

You're so silly.

[Skidmore]

49. I'm going to enjoy seeing "ignored" instead of this kind of BS.

[annie1]

51. lolol
