Obamatons freaking out yet again all over GD-P
Every single time something happens to sway the campaign away from Obama they panic... and they have had a lot to panic over in the last few days:

1) Michelle Obama makes a boo boo comment regarding patriotism and love of country.

2) "Wordsgate" breaks and shows Obama's message to be rather hollow and contrived...

3) Obama decides not to attend the Black State of the Union...

4) And now, Hillary finally decides to take Obama to task on the disgusting Harry and Louise mailers.

Each time one of these stories breaks, all &(*&^* breaks loose on this board.

When that happens, I know that the story has legs. If the story doesn't have legs, folks would ignore it right?

Anyway... play on I suppose...

1. Actually, I'm an Obama SUPPORTER...and I've never felt more serene.
I've even taken all the trolls off Ignore...

...it's looking good--that's all I'm saying.

16. It's called "projection," because Hillaryland is a pretty grim place to inhabit these days...

Right there is a reason to not support Obama.

13. You can't have a couple worried about their bills without it being Harry&Louise?
Come on.


Is that honestly the standard now?

8. That's kind of
What I'm getting from it too.

If it's all over, why are they so nasty to Clinton and anyone who posts anything positive about her?

If they're so convinced they've won, are they such ungracious winners or do they think they need to stamp out and destroy all opposition?

Kind of reminding me of the Ron Paul nutters and that is not where "frontrunners" are supposed to be.

19. I've had a difficult time putting my finger on it...
...but Obama supporters seem to be a very emotional lot and are driven by a lot of fear and panic. Those of us who will pull the lever for Senator Obama in November are doing so with great reservation and a lot of trepidation primarily because of all the unknowns. Obama supporters also know these unknowns and rather than question their candidate on them prefer to take a see no, hear no and speak no position.

This is why I continually caution people that hope is neither a method nor a strategy.

25. Do you think they have the ability to act any other way?
I do see a couple of them trying to heal the wounds their group has inflicted on Hillary supporters, trying to act fair, act the healer. That's because they think Hillary has been taken out already. Otherwise, they'd continue the assault.

They think they're going to get us to rally around their hero with a few nice words.

Let them keep dreaming.

18. Another reason for me not to be gascious here if Obama wins.
Use of disparaging name-calling and dishonest claims about Obama supporters 'freaking out' while vigorously defending him against negative attacks.

31. I've finally started my ignore list and things are getting much better for me.
Some of these people live for this and they feed off of anyone who who disagrees with them. I have taken the target off my back.

26. um, no. it's hillary's supporters here who have lost it.
Obama supporters are watching the hilly train wreck unfold in a mixture of horror and pity. We know that this just puts another nail in her political coffin and we marvel at those of you who are so in denial that you think this kind of behavior is beneficial to her moribund campaign. Voters don't like viragos. They don't respond positively to mean spirited. And you're engaging in a classic logical fallacy when you mistake the fascination of Obama supporter with Hilly's bizarro behavior for a story that has legs. Well, maybe not. It probably does have legs- but not in a way that's going to make you happy.
