You Obama supporters are really sickening me...

[Skoods]

You always preach that your candidate is a "uniter" who will breach the divides in our country...yet all I ever see from Obama supporters on this board is ripping on Hillary Clinton. It's always, "Hillary is crazy" or "Hillary has lost her mind" or "She's a b*tch."

For people who are voting for someone because he says he can unite, you sure are awfully good at dividing and disrespecting.

Hillary would make a great President. Barack would make a great President. We're all Democrats who want a better home for our children and grandchildren to live in. How is ripping apart our Democratic allies going to do that?

Stop being hypocritical and saying that Obama is a great uniter when all his supporters do is divide.

[SoCalDem]

1. m'kay...

2. oh lordy.. here we go again. Upside down and opposite day.

[Mojambo]

3. I ignore all candidate partisans. n/t

[roguevalley]

88. this kind of nasal whining on both sides has damaged both

candidates on this board. I loathe this primary season and can't wait for it to end and SOMEONE getting picked. God. What a travesty this all is.

[Joe the Revelator]

4. These pathetic dying gasps are all you have left

You've tried to attack our candidate
You've called a cult
You've called us sheeple
Now, you just call us disgusting

I'm pretty sick of the coordinated bullshit from Team Hillary this evening.

[Window]

58. So am I. Sick and tired of being called names by Hillary supporters, especially since I'm

not a shit-starter. I just don't take any shit.

[AX10]

5. Most of the left wing activists, Kos/Huffington/TPM/Radio...

are in the same mode of calling for "unity" but trash HRC at every turn.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

6. Many high profile Obama supporters here cannot possibly be Obama supporters

Either that, or the man is a magnet for liars with impulse control problems and nothing but contempt for liberalism.

I actually sort of like Obama, though I detest his methods. But his supporters...

Man, I hope some of them are not real supporters.

[AlCzervik]

7. give us a hug, don't be shy.

:hug: :grouphug:

[book_worm]

8. and I'm sick of HRC supporters, especially new ones, who every day start a thread like this one

and for some reason never seem to think that some of her supporters are just as bad as some of the Obama supporters. No! It's only the Obama supporters (once again with a broad brush) that are bad. Grow up!

10. And "You Obama supporters are really sickening me..." is helpful in bridging the divide?

Funny how lately everyone thinks their own shit smell like roses.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

11. Are you seriously equating Obama to a bunch of idiots on a message board?

There are idiots supporting every candidate who ran for the Dem nomination. There are also perfectly reasonable people who supported each candidate.

[MagsDem]

36. Where are the reasonable people that support Obama?

They are certainly few and far between as far as I can tell, here and in real life. They were like dogs on a bone at my caucus. HE claims he is a uniter, but I sure haven't seen it. In fact I have never seen so many aholes congregate around one candidate since GW Bush. Hillary is not my first choice, but Obama is definitely no choice as far as I am concerned.

[DemBones DemBones]

46. Good question. I agree with

all you said.

[DemGa]

12. Obama is not a uniter -- they follow his lead

He will be found to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

[Blue-Jay]

20. Sheep don't wear hats. That's a fact.

[DemGa]

29. Really? I missed that metaphor.

[Blue-Jay]

35. It's not a metaphor. They really don't wear hats.

I was shocked when I found out.

[madrchsod]

59. hmmmm

"I finally reached level 3!

Cake and ice cream for everyone!

Anyone want to help decorate?

[Trajan]

42. An unfounded assertion ....

It is obvious Obama is attracting many good Americans to his side .....

And when I read crap like this, I am really starting to think those people are right ....

[DemGa]

48. I don't make unfounded assertions.....nt

14. His supporters are not running for president, and Hillary is being divisive. n/t

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

15. You Are Right In Many Ways. Welcome To DU.

But for the record, hopefully Obama will in fact be a uniter and I think he has a lot of what it takes to be that. Don't let the voices of a few of his fanatics alter your perception of what he himself, is capable of.

[Skoods]

22. I have nothing against either candidate.

I love both Obama and Hillary. It's just his supporters get to me because they seemingly act like if Obama didn't get the nomination they wouldn't vote for Hillary. Which is really dissapointing because we're all Democrats who would rather die than see four years of John McCain.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

43. Agreed.

[fishwax]

54. there are plenty of HRC supporters saying the same about Obama

:shrug:

[Bongo Prophet]

71. Like most things, that "if not my way, then no way" mentality cuts both ways.

As for me, I will vote for the nominee, regardless.
Even though she mocks us, even though both Bill and Hillary say a fellow democrat is "not qualified to be president" I will vote for her if she gets the nom.


See this thread for proof that Clinton supporters can be pretty hardened too...

Check in now if you're Absolutely fucking DONE with Barack Obama!

16. Funny....

I've seen so many anti-Hillary and anti-Obama threads started from posters that have only been here a week or two.

Makes one wonder.....

[Tarheel_Dem]

52. a week or two?

heck...i've seen 'em started by people who joined day before yesterday. the most insulting ones are the "concern" posts, as if we're too stupid to figure out that they have an agenda?

[goodgd_yall]

18. Interesting, isn't it? n/t

[eileen_d]

19. Thanks for the divisive thread. nt

[sfam]

21. Yet another "The other candidate's supporters suck" while we're so good thread...

And this OF COURSE implies that ALL the supporters for the other candidate act EXACTLY as the worse elements here on DU....

Seriously, there's plenty of assholes on both sides here. Bottom line, if anyone here is judging candidates based on DU responses, they truly have issues. And judging ALL supporters by the insane political junkies who frequent this site is just silly. You really need to get a sense of proportion - DU is just not the place to do it.

[Skoods]

28. I don't support any candidate...

As of now...I am going to support whomever gets the nomination.

[sfam]

47. So you've "only" noticed a-hole Obama supporters?

Does this mean you already have all the asshole Hillary supporters on Ignore?

Seriously, if you're going to do a "You both suck" thread, cool. But to pick on one side is just a bit strange, as clearly there are assholes on both sides here that truly enjoy picking ridiculous fights.

[Blue_In_AK]

63. I think maybe it just seems like there are more Obama assholes

than Clinton assholes on DU because there are so many more Obama supporters here. It's a ratio thing.

Say you've got 20 Hillary supporters and 100 Obama supporters and one-fifth of each group are assholes. That would be four Hillary assholes as opposed to 20 Obama assholes. Thus logically it seems like all of Obama's supporters are assholes because they equal the total of ALL of Hillary's supporters and outnumber her assholes five to one. But in reality, the vast majority of both candidates' supporters are just regular nice people who happen to differ on who's their favorite.

The bad ones spoil it for everybody.

[Double T]

23. Perfect example of obama's inability to fulfill campaign promises.

If HE can't handle the simple stuff, how will HE be able to deliver on the TOUGH STUFF.

[backscatter712]

24. She brought it on herself.

Her campaign has been a smorgasbord of unethical tactics, smears and nastiness.

So why is anyone surprised that Obama supporters and even undecideds are enraged?

[pocoloco]

25. It's a wheat from the chaff thingy.

is there something in the post that violates DU rules?

Other than not jumping on the bandwagon?

[MagsDem]

31. Ain't that the truth

That was like my 3rd clue that Obama was full of shit. He was responsible for my first and second clues. Check out the "Hillary is lying" thread when she says Obama is proposing an increase in Social Security taxes... when that proposal is on his own web site. The whole thing is just surreal to me.

[Trajan]

32. You are wasting your time ...

I want you to do this:

Count all the DUers who exist ... (Membership is at 114,000 members) ...

Then count all who are still active (I would guess about 20,000 active at least)

Then count all the number of different posters who act like utter assholes : I would posit around 100 ....

Now lets do the math ...

Total Asshole Factor = Number of Assholes / Total Membership = 100 / 114000 = 0.00087719298245614035087719298245614 Total Asshole Factor

Approx. 0.087 % of Total Membership are assholes ....

-----

Active Asshole Factor = Number of Assholes / Active Membership = 100 / 20000 = 0.005 Active Asshole Factor

Approx. 0.5 % of Active Membership are assholes ....

-----

See how that works ? ..... So you are complaining about something that approx 0.5 % of Active DUers might be guilty of .....

It seems a waste of your time ...... Doesn't it ?

[MagsDem]

38. You should have seen my caucus site

They are aholes in real life, too.

[zulchzulu]

33. Hillary has proven by her words and actions that she is a divisive person

She will not concede nicely. That is the perfect ending to her pathetic campaign that is clearly going to be seen by political historians as the worst run, the most inept and the most divisive in recent memory.

She will go out like a poor sport. She will make it harder for women who want to run for President in the future because of her horrible lack of character. She will never fully recover from her tarnished legacy and will be seen as a sad example historically.

Her story isn't over yet. She has much lower to go and she will do her best to be seen as everything a leader shouldn't be.

[Skoods]

37. So..

She's not the one always saying that she's going to unite. She knows it can't be done. The right wing will never be united with the left.

Partisan politics is here to stay and it's a good thing. Partisan politics means that someone is always there to stand up for the minority opinion.

[zulchzulu]

50. How do you get laws passed when it's just political theatrics?

Is that what you want? Just grandstand to a group and not get anything accomplished? Do you even understand how good government works?

Do personal relationships in real life last when one person says it's "my way or the highway"? That's why highways are so busy...

[Darth_Kitten]

40. Hello, it's a political campaign???

She's not going to just go away so your dreamy hero doesn't get held accountable for anything. :eyes:

She's going to make it harder for other women? :rofl:
As for character, she's certainly not running as the sanctimonious know it all, huh?

[zulchzulu]

51. Actually, Hillary IS running as the "sanctimonious know it all"

That's why people aren't voting for her and her numbers and campaign are dropping like a lead balloon.

[Darth_Kitten]

57. REALLY??

Wow.

Seems enough people are voting for her. Guess they look beyond the hype of the Chosen One.

[zulchzulu]

61. Face it. She's dropping out in about a week.

Your "Chosen One" garbage is actually amusing. He will be chosen.

:rofl:

[bigbrother05]

34. ...

:popcorn:

[ginnyinWI]

39. I'll give you my take as an Obama supporter.

First, we are mad at the way Hillary is dissing Obama and all of us, his supporters by the way she's acting. We get on the defensive a bit--it's natural when you are being relentlessly attacked.

Second, we are just so happy that we have a candidate we like and trust and who, wonder of wonders, is actually winning. We are delighted each time we see evidence of his good ground game and superior quick-response team. He's running a tight ship, and it makes us so happy that we put our trust in someone so capable. It gives us confidence, and sometimes our joy just comes out in posts at DU. It's not gloating as in "haha, you lose". It's just happiness that we want to share with each other.

Each and every Dem here should be happy that the talent Obama has is on our side, not the GOP's. It means a win in November if we can keep this thing going.

"All his supporters do is divide" is simply false. We want you on board. We want all Dems to unite. I don't name-call here, and many of us don't. Some do, and that's unfortunate.

[RBInMaine]

41. Not everyone is saying this, but Hillary is inviting plenty of it.

[saltpoint]

44. Do you like macaroni and cheese?

Because I think you can tell a lot about a person based on whether they like macaroni and cheese.

[Danger Mouse]

45. your concern is duly noted.

[Johnny__Motown]

49. Everyone who is even close to being impartial will admit that Hillary is off the reservation

Your bias toward her is the only thing blinding you to that fact.


Obama is a great uniter, look how united everyone is against Hillary now.

[DemGa]

55. Yes, the "New Politics" -- same as the old only worse....nt

[stillcool]

56. isn't it something?

all those record-breaking numbers of people walking the walk to the voting booth in state after state? Isn't it something when you see those rallies? A slice of Americana at it's best? Isn't it something? Now, talk about being disrespectful. I call lying, cheating, and smearing a little disrespectful...how about you?

[meow mix]

60. some supporters tend to be unruly no matter what any candidate promotes.

we are the unwashed masses, mere rabble. so it should be expected to find many varied personalitys.

[fizzgig]

62. someone needs a hug

:hug:

[Tarheel_Dem]

64. a good rule of thumb for me has been to put the most rabid Hillary

supporters on "ignore" (that's what it's for). Secondly, I don't wade into Hillary celebration/victory threads. And when they pop up in Obama celebration threads, as they inevitably do, it gives me another opportunity to use that funky little "IGNORE" feature. Admittedly, that list just keeps growing, but it makes my DU experience so much more positive.

81. Please review the DU rules of conduct

http://www.democraticunderground.com/forums/rules_detailed.html

1. Flamebait
2. Broad brush smear of DU Democrats who support a particular Democratic candidate
3. "Calling out" members of the DU community

[ORDem]

82. I was willing to cut Hillary slack, especially after the last debate, but

she's the one who then started with the childish gutter politics. I've had it with that lady! How can anyone trust her after her performances (as in acting) this week? "It's an honor" => "Shame on you!!!" => "The heavens will open...". She's off her meds or something, criminey!

:dem:

[RiverStone]

83. Don't use such a broad brush...

I don't hate Hillary.

The board and the party will work to re-unify as soon as Obama seals the deal.

That probably will happen in 8 more days.

We will need Hillary supporters to win the GE.

It does no good to eat our own.

Oh, and Obama will unite the party and the country; DU will take of itself - in fact, you may be surprised just how well we come together. :)

85. K&R!

[longship]

86. Shame on us!

The only solution is for all of us to stop sniping at each other and get together. Many of us support one or the other of the candidates. And some of us still have not committed. Advocacy on these forums should be positive. Argument should be based on issues. Name-calling and other sophomoric crap has to go.

There is a lot of bullshit being flung in all directions and it has to stop.

The thing we all must realize is that the culmination of the current process will be a Democratic nominee who will be far, far superior to the Republican counterpart. We will all unite behind that candidate who will then win handily in November.

So, all of you, tell me why it is in any way necessary to post childish garbage like that on these forums. What does it gain?

Does it help support your candidate of choice? No!
Does it convert others to your point of view? No!
Does it help Democrats win? No!

Shame on all of us. Stop this shit!

Everybody please calm down!

Sorry, I cannot recommend this thread. I'm too ashamed of it.
