Obama and his supporters would rather F over the country than lose

[sjdnb]

Just read a few of their threads ... they are so caught up in supporting Obama they can't think straight.

And, as someone not invested in either candidate (I was an Edwards supporter) it is just disgusting how some will manipulate the facts just to support their guy.

[high density]

12. Which one says "I'm a woman" in practically every speech

and then has a bevy of supporters that cry sexism on this board?

4. You're right! The person with a large deficit in the number of delegates and the one

who's going to hurt this party irrevocably should certainly back down now!

Oh wait...that's Clinton.

5. Obama wouldn't. Hillary would, though.

Supporters =/= Candidates

[high density]

6. Well the Obama people have math on our side

While Clinton still has a lot of pledged delegates to make up.

By the way, thank you for helping me build my ignore list for when it comes back on.

8. WTF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CyberPieHole]

9. Obama played the race card. He smeared the Clintons in an attempt to cheat his way...

into the White House. The party is now more divided than ever.

15. Not invested in either candidate? Have you read your own posts?

Huh.

16. Both sides will calm down once the fight ends.

People always get worked up during the primaries. The focus is, naturally, on the differences wtihin the party. There are loud announcements that "I won't vote for the other candidate even if s/he wins the Democratic nomination!" Then one candidate wins, the fight ends, and the backers of the other candidates realize that what unites us is more important than the differences that were thrashed out in picking the nominee.

I've seen things here from Obama supporters that made me cringe, but I've also seen such things from Clinton supporters. Neither side has a monopoly on getting carried away.
