Obama: If my supporters don't get an ice cream cone, they'll knock yours in the dirt

[Tom Strong]

“I am confident that I will get her votes if I am the nominee, it’s not clear that she would get the votes I got if she were the nominee.”

Probably the single truest thing he's ever said on the campaign trail...even if it IS a threat.

Hey, Obama supporters, take a look in the friggin' mirror: http://youtube.com/watch?v=zkSdM6p2G98

1. "Give me your vote or I'll throw a lamp at your head, you terrorist lovers" - Hillary Clinton

Figured as long as we are making up quotes for candidates, I'd throw one in the pot.

[Tom Strong]

2. Will you vote for Clinton if Barack ain't it, Ernesto?

Or are you as politically immature and as incredibly short-sighted as your candidate makes you out to be?

3. What's w/ the name calling Tom? n/t

6. That's what Hillary supporters are made of, pretty much. Insults, ad hominem, invective.

4. That has been answered in another thread. I don't like repeating myself.

5. silly

[Tom Strong]

15. Yeah, that's how a lot of people try to dismiss things that cut a little too close to the bone.

Call them "silly."

Not that it ever works.

Just that they don't know what else to say.

7. All he's saying is that he appeals to a broader base than she does, which is uncontroversial

Hillary is well known to be a very polarizing figure.

9. so true...n/t

[Tom Strong]

16. If that's what he was trying to say, why didn't he say that?

He's not an idiot. Not by a long-shot.

Why would he leave room for misunderstanding here?

No, he knew exactly what he was doing.

He was making a threat.

[calmblueocean]

17. He did. The statement's clear as a bell. And this Obama supporter will vote for Hil if she wins.

Honestly, I think you've gotta pick your battles, and I don't think this is what you think it is.

10. What he says is true...

If Obama doesn't get the nom, a lot of young voters and African Americans voters are going to feel bitterly disappointed. Disappointed voters from these groups often just stay home.

Hillary, on the other hand, is drawing support from the Democratic base. History tells us that the Democratic base will come out to vote in this election, regardless.

11. What an asshole thing to say. Rise above it. nt

12. I think the complicity of the Clintons & DLC in the theft of 2000 and 2004

makes it obvious that they don't give a rat's ass about a the Democratic party, unless they're in charge of it.

When Obama wins the nomination, he'll probably attacked more from DLC funded sources than from the Repukes.

And since someone mentioned ice cream cones (and we have all the Dead threads)....

13. Here gimme you ice cream. *lick* nice=). He's joking and he charmed this many ppl why not HRCvoters

[cooolandrew]

14. Please note I took your ice cream, graciously and positively. =)
