Why do Clinton haters love Obama?

[jackson_dem]

List the reasons you hate the Clintons, particularly Bill. Then open your eyes and realize Obama is exactly what you hate in your Clinton caricature.

1. No, pretty sure it's just the clintons that I have a problem with.

10. half your list is lies, try again.

you can do better, i know you can!

[jlake]

11. none are lies... but you are conceding that half are right on.... so that's a start.

[RoveRage]

13. I see plenty of Hillary in that post....especially the distortions and outright lies.

[jlake]

16. Where are the distortions? And what items on my list apply to Hillary?

I'll be waiting, and please provide links to any claims. Thanks.

[RoveRage]

18. Where did he say Reagan was a better President than Clinton?

Please back it up with a linky.

[Occam Bandage]

15. Let's see.

1. Both.
2. Lie.
3. Lie.
4. Both.
5. Both/Lie.
6. Both.
7. Valid.
8. Lie.
9. Distortion.
10. Both.

So, er, 1.5/10. Whee!

[jlake]

17. #9 is definitely not a distortion.... most of these are subjective, but that is a "valid"

[RoveRage]

20. Subjective? Translation.....distortions.

[jlake]

21. No..... and the conversation I was having was about Obama's

approval of Cheney's energy policy..... care to defend that/explain why there is no difference with Hillary?
Thanks!

[RoveRage]

23. You listed a shit-load more than that one thing.....backing away from the others?

[jlake]

24. I am not backing away from anything... can you read the exchange upthread?

I stand by all of my points. Unless you can prove them otherwise, they stand.
:hi:

[RoveRage]

26. Yes, in your world, I'm sure they stand.

[jlake]

27. Yes you are correct. I am a member of the reality based community.

:hi:

[RoveRage]

29. Tell yourself that.....over and over and over again.

31. More Hillary Herd drivvel

As to inexperienced, he has as much or more elected experience as Clinton. As to non-elected experience, Clinton has experience in the Board of Directors of Walmart while Obama was doing community work. I like his experience better in that regard.

If you think you are more mature than Obama, then call him immature. But I doubt it. It wasn't Obama who nearly cried, forchrissake.

As to the "cult of personality" that is just your view....but I observe that the followers of Hillary are so into lemming-like behavior I call them the Hillary Herd for good reason. At least Obama has a personality.

As to empty suit or blank slate....that just shows your ignorance. Obama has lots of positions on the issues that you could find out about if you were not part of the Herd.

Your thing about thinking Reagan was a better president is a down right lie on our part! Not even worth discussing other than to point out that, like other members of the Herd, you distort the truth. I guess parsing the truth depends on what the meaning of the word is is.

25. I don't hate Obama, but: I have a serious problem with his use of

McClurkin to kiss the ass of religious bigots. And the same for his new buddy - Bush's "spiritual adviser".

Along that line, I don't like his preachyness - talking about abortion being a "prayerful" decision, for exanple.

To tell you the truth, however, this week I've begun to feel I hate Obama. And I don't think it's due to anything he's done, but the nastyness in this forum, in particular a few posters who I have felt were extremely uncaring about the GLBT response to the McClurkin incident and, IMO, dishonest about it.

So I can understand hating Hillary or anyone else - they get tainted by their supporters sometimes, regardless of their own activities.

:shrug:

3. Keep going, don't stop! You're on a troll....I mean roll.

[David Zephyr]

6. Best post of the day!

LOL!

[jackson_dem]

7. You Clinton hating suckers are in for a hell of a ride if Obama wins

[Alexander]

19. Why? Because evil racists won't vote for him?

Ooooh, scary. I already knew that anyway.

[jackson_dem]

22. No, because he is exactly what you hate! Obama is Bill Clinton -2.0, a downgraded version

[Alexander]

28. Obama's a race-baiting, intern-banging, DOMA and NAFTA-supporting liar?

Hmm, something tells me I shouldn't believe you.

[jackson_dem]

30. He is a race-baiting, gay baiting, "free" trader with the same position on gay issues

I don't know if he has banged any interns. I know that is a big issue for folks. :eyes:

[Alexander]

32. Untrue. You're presenting more lies than Bill Clinton ever did.

Nice try.

[Raine]

8. LOL

[book_worm]

9. You beat me to asking that

[Jed Dilligan]

12. I suspect on both sides, the hate starts here on DU

not in the real world. It begins with hero worship. As soon as the idol is defiled, the worshipper sees red and goes into permanent attack mode.

[bicentennial_baby]

14. I dislike them both equally, for different reasons

:D

33. more cheap and ugly flamebait from a master of the "art"

:rofl:
