Honk (or at least K&R) if you're an Obama supporter and don't want to dehumanize the other side.

[Bonobo]

Come on, I know it would be more exciting if I had started a thread like

"Shhhh! Isn't there something _____ about Hillbots!?" or something like that. Probably more recs and certainly more kicks since it is the venomous posts that draw attention and get kicked.

I decided the start this to represent the people that want to support their candidate and their movement in a positive manner and not by tearing down the other side.

That's what it is about for me now.

If the Dead are behind Obama, I'm not gonna be a hater.

[Jed Dilligan]

1. I don't have any problem with Hillary supporters,

but they seem to attack me an awful lot.

:shrug:

2. Toot Toot!

Beep, too.

3. Long, Long List of Shady Clinton Donors

Exposing the truth of somebody's character is not dehumanizing them.

5. It's important to remember that we are all on the same side.

Goal - Get rid of Republicans.

6. Let the other side play their swift-boat games in the gutter.

Fuckem.

Recall what Jimmy Cliff says, "The Harder They Come, The Harder They Fall."

7. You are a good man, Bonobo n/t

[Bonobo]

15. Coming from you, Tom...

Thanks.

[damonm]

8. Well put...

Those who do so, and those Hillary supporters who demonize us, are simply childish, and unworthy of our attention.

Some of them are very lifelike.

22. Let's all stay cool and keep leading by example.

[Bongo Prophet]

21. We are the goon squad and wer're coming to town. Beep beep!

I endorse this message, Bonobo.
Keep high roadin' it.

[Bonobo]

24. That's from "Scary Monsters" by Bowie!

Yup, Obama fans are cool.

[newmajority]

30. Actually, that's from "Fashion"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oudKFDpUlQ

[Bonobo]

31. Which is from the album, "Scary Monsters"!

Old guys still think "album" format.

[Bongo Prophet]

33. Yes, "albums" - Ve are Olden, but our memories are still intact.

"Fashion"

There's a brand new dance
but I don't know its name
That people from bad homes
do again and again
It's big and it's bland
full of tension and fear
They do it over there but we don't do it here


Fashion! Turn to the left
Fashion! Turn to the right
Oooh, fashion!
We are the goon squad
and we're coming to town
Beep-beep
Beep-beep

Listen to me - don't listen to me
Talk to me - don't talk to me
Dance with me - don't dance with me, no
Beep-beep

There's a brand new talk,
but it's not very clear
That people from good homes
are talking this year
It's loud and tasteless
and I've heard it before
You shout it while you're dancing
on the whole dance floor
Oh bop, fashion



Listen to me - don't listen to me
Talk to me - don't talk to me
Dance with me - don't dance with me, no
Beep-beep
Beep-beep

Oh, bop, do do do do do do do do
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion
Oh, bop, do do do do do do do do
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion
La-la la la la la la-la

[Bongo Prophet]

35. Fan is short for fanatic. Let's just say I am awake. 'Cause it's no GAME.

"Scary Monsters" is, at least partially, a very political and inspiring work.
Those scary monsters STILL keep us running.
Running scared.
Back in 1980, 500+ mcg, gripping on to reality while the walls were melting.
Ahhhh, simpler times, eh?
ShutUP!:)

Silhouettes and shadows
watch the revolution
No more free steps to heaven
It's no game

I am bored from the event
I really don't understand the situation
And it's no game

Documentaries on refugees
Couples 'gainst the target
You throw a rock against the road
And it breaks into pieces
Draw the blinds on yesterday,
and it's all so much scarier
Put a bullet in my brain,
and it makes all the papers


So where's the moral
when people have their fingers broken?
To be insulted by these fascists
it's so degrading
And it's no game


Silhouettes and shadows
watch the revolution
No more free steps to heaven
Just walkie-talkie - heaven or hearth
Just big heads and drums - full speed and pagan
And it's no game

I am barred from the event
I really don't understand the situation
So where's the moral
People have their fingers broken
To be insulted by these fascists it's so degrading
And it's no game

Documentaries on refugees,
couples 'gainst the target
Throw a rock against the road,
and it breaks into pieces
Draw the blinds on yesterday,
and it's all so much scarier
Put a bullet in my brain,
and it makes all the papers

And it's no game

Children round the world,
put camel shit on the walls

They're making carpets on treadmills,
or garbage sorting

And it's no game

[Bonobo]

38. The Japanese goes something like this:

"Shiruetto ya kage ga kakumei wo miteiru.
Mou tengoku he no jiyuu no kaidan ha nai."

[Bongo Prophet]

40. WEll, sometimes kicking a thread can be fun.

Despite hundreds of hours of anime, my Japanese is not any better than my swahili.

[psychopomp]

56. I'll try

"Silhouettes and shadows are watching the revolution.
The free stairway to heaven is now no more."

[Bonobo]

59. Pretty good. The Japanese, by the way, is in the song. I didn't translate it.

It is a translation of the portion of the English part of the song:

Silhouttetes and Shadows watch the revolution.
No more free steps to heaven.

But you correctly point out that "kaidan" is stairway, not "steps".

[VolcanoJen]

23. K&R

[donheld]

25. No problem here

[Danger Mouse]

26. K and R.

:)

[Lisa0825]

27. kick

:kick:

[thevoiceofreason]

29. No problem

Would love the discussion to stay out of the rumor mill.

[Guava Jelly]

32. Why would I dehumanize a person I may have to defend if she wins the nod?

[Greyskye]

37. That's a GREAT graphic, GoPsUx!

Did you create it?

[Greyskye]

34. Keep on (HONK) truckin'!

[psychopomp]

57. HOOONK!

Looking at your sig.. You may be one of the people that was competing with me to be the one who get the final post in on the thread that killed DU1! I think I had that honor but I don't recall for sure... ;-)

[Jim Lane]

36. Agreed! I'm saving my energy to dehumanize McCain. (n/t)

[Cha]

39. When they start acting

human then I'll respect that.

[Lisa0825]

41. kick

:kick: because everytime the other "honk" post shows up, I kick this one!

[readmoreoften]

42. So about 10% of Obama supporters don't want to dehumanize the other side.

Great.

[Kaylee]

43. Kick...

I'm excited about either one of them making it to the WH.

[knowledgeispwr]

44. K& R

Whenever I think GD:P can't get any worse, it proves me wrong.

[Lisa0825]

45. kick

:kick:

[Bonobo]

46. I just think it is sad that the "Honk if Obama fans are cult members gets 110 recs.

Is that really the people I am among here in GD: Primaries?

Frankly it makes me not want to be here and it definitely makes me not like any of the people that would recommend that.

[Lisa0825]

47. That is partially why I keep kicking this...

.

[angie_love]

48. Beep beeeeeeeeeep

[Lisa0825]

49. kick for more reasonable people

really sad.

[calmblueocean]

50. k&r'ed gladly -- we can't afford to hate our own.

I don't know why some people still don't get that message, but it's true. The stakes are too high.

[Unbowed]

51. As far as I'm concerned, the "other side" is

John McCain.

People don't seem to get it: no matter who we support in the primary, Clinton and Obama are on the same side. OUR side.

We should start practicing unity.

[Eurobabe]

52. ERRR, ERRRR

I alert mods on any thread that slams our two frontrunners. Regardless of the fact that I support Obama.

[thoughtcrime1984]

53. K&R

I dislike locking horns with people, sometimes it's difficult to ignore attacks from the other side. I apologize for being chippy at times.

[ClayZ]

54. Brrrrring Brrrrrrring! K and R

[psychopomp]

55. That "Divide and conquer" shit ain't gonna work

...unless we let it!

:toast:

[ellisonz]

58. Honky.

[FunkyLeprechaun]

60. Kick

I don't want to engage in fighting with the Hillary supporters here. Sometimes I feel like I'm being dragged into these fights by them.

[alteredstate]

61. Kicked and recommended! n/t

[wildflowergardener]

62. Agree

And hope there are Hillary Clinton supporters who feel the same way, though they may not be as vocal as others and the ones you see posting as often - just as I don't post as much as maybe some Obama supporters.

[Bread and Circus]

63. After a while trying to stay on point and arguing issues on the merits

get wearysome when all I see is bullshit and name calling.

I've never been called sexist in my life and I've never heard anyone used the word sexist so much until I got to this forum. I've never seen so many double standards. I've never seen so many arguments where the very laws of logic do not apply. I've never seen so many laudable Democrats be upbraided because they had the temerity to support Obama. I've never seen such an entitled bunch of candidate supporters in my life.

I don't hate Clinton but I'm beginning to hate her supporters here. I don't call them names but they are becoming beneath contempt.

[Bonobo]

64. Hang in there. I think a change has been made to GDP that should help.
